Anytime we can play close to home is a blessing. We are in the semi-finals at this time in the https://www.georgia-country.com/awards.php/. We’re 3rd in the Best of Coweta poll this year.
Look for our PeachJam Podcast interview and live video on 8/16. We’re traveling to Tybee Island on 8/9 for the band’s annual road trip and concert at the lovely Tybee Post Theater. We’re opening for Gary Allan at The Fred on 8/23 which is very exciting. Some of the band members will accompany me at the Wire & Wood Songwriter Festival on 10/11 & on 10/04. I’ll join Mary Martin & Melody Kiser for Ladies in Song Sessions at the Whimzical Cafe in Newnan. I am honored to play music with David Puett, Patrick Thompson, Jerry Lee & my husband Warren ‘Slim’ Hall! They are a Mighty Fine Band!
