Vote For Me To Play Crossroads in Chicago!!!!!

Okay, I did it. I threw my hat in the ring to win a chance to play at the Crossroads Festival in Chicago this summer.

In order to get there, I need votes – a lot of them. That’s where you come in.

While you’re there, feel free to listen to some tunes I posted. And you can make fun comments too.

That’s it. Thanks and I appreciate the help.

The Morning After

It’s about 9:07 and Laura and I have been up for about an hour after having gone to sleep at around 3:30.

We played the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio last night. Great place, by the way, one of the nicest casinos I’ve played at. And they were nice enough to give us a room after the show.

Grandma’s at home with the kids, and we both kind of feel like we’ve been hit by a bus. From here it’s back home in a few minutes for our oldest son’s 11th birthday party.

This is definitely that rock and roll lifestyle you hear about :)

Alpaca Love Society at Java Joe’s March 7 1-4PM

Stop by Java Joes THIS Sunday afternoon for some soul-inspiring blues. You’ll hear some of my original tunes as well as some of the band’s favorites from legendary artists like B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robben Ford, Eric Clapton, and some lesser known favorites as well.

But – MOST importantly – come celebrate the birth of Chris’ beautiful little girl – Ella Joy Atchley!  Born on March 2nd.  Believe it or not, Chris delivered the baby himself in the driveway of his own home!  They never made it to the hospital, and paramedics arrived after she did!   Stop by and hear all the details from the proud new daddy!  (Ella joins big brother Ethan).  Wife Andrea and baby Ella are home and doing well.

Hope to see you for this very special performance!  Fun begins at 1pm.  Java Joes will be offering brunch, beer, wine, and yummy pastry items.

Java Joe’s is in Yorba Linda at 4975 Yorba Ranch Road, Yorba Linda, CA 92887 (714) 970-7988.
