It's Saturday and I'm hittin Edgefest!!

It is 7am and I've been up for 30 mins. To some of you thats normal..to me it's torture. I would much rather be sleeping another couple of hours. But, today is a big day!! My best friend Jessie Frye is opening Edgefest 24 in Frisco at Toyota Stadium!!!! After two competitions she earned this amazing opportunity. Last night was one more show at The Gas Money Bar & Grill and now it's warming up the vocals and get your game face on. We will be there at 10:30 for check in and sound check. It's going to be a long day. So proud of all the hard work Jessie has done over the past several years to get to this point. But, this is just the beginning She have more amazing things happening.

Opening Bell!!! Tonight

I have been trying to get a gig at Opening Bell for sometime now. I have heard so many good things about this venue and many of my friends have played here. So, if you are in Dallas and want to hear some original music. Then come out at 8:00pm to Opening Bell on Lamar. I'll be there Rg

New Ideas on Selling Music

I have a new idea for selling my music. It's no secret. What I want to do is buy 4gb USB Flash Drives and load my Ep "Faraway Girl", artwork, and the lyrics on to them. My feelings are that although some people still like to buy the physical copy, most want to upload to their computer and then download on to their iPhone. The cool thing is if you buy it you get a 4gb flash drive. I would sell them for $10.00 and if I load "On The Run" it would be around $13-$15. I would like to get some feedback on this. What do you think? We as musicians are constantly having to think of ways to sell our music. I used to give it away, but to me that just cheapens all the hard work you put into making it. Let me know Rg

New Gigs

I just added a few new gigs for May and June. I am working on a few other places in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. If you know any good venues please let me know. It never hurts to know someone who knows someone :). I am willing to travel outside of Dallas, Denton, and Fort Worth. Keep checking for shows coming to you. p/l/m rg
