Last night I played The Courtside Club located on court level of the Chesapeake Arena, here in Oklahoma City.  I had the honor of entertaining folks after the Thunder took home a win.  This is my 3rd season playing in the VIP lounge and last night felt really good.  Since I've been out on the road for the last couple months I've missed most of the home games thus far, so this was my first time back in a while.  The regulars were very welcoming so it made it pretty easy for me to play to my best.

I have the next couple weeks off until my gig schedule starts picking up again, so I'm looking to focus on creating more video content for my Youtube fans and getting the groundwork down for my next album.  I've got about 40 + song ideas that I've been tossing around so a lot of work that I'm excited for!  The next record is going to be much more guitar driven and way less produced than my current record "ELEVEN".  Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of "ELEVEN", but I feel like my next record should stick to the basics... guitar and vocals.  I'll probably change my mind about 20 times come time to actually laying down tracks for the project, so don't hold me to it. ha

This is truly my first written blog post so I'm not all that good at it. lol  I don't do much else other than work and play music so I feel this might be therapeutic for me to journal my thoughts down, and I suppose I'll let you all in on it as well. ha

In the past I was a rather reserved individual that liked his privacy.  I've found that the more I share my music, the more I'm actually interested in sharing a message along with it.  The only way to do so,  is to truly open up.  :)  I suppose I haven't been as personal with you (my fans) as I'd like to be so this first blog is my attempt in beginning the process.

My first tour for 2014 lasted roughly 45 days and it was an amazing experience.  I met a ton of great people and I think I left a lasting impression on a few of them.  My main goal is to inspire as many as I can before it's my time to go.  There really isn't much of a better gift than that little spark.  It's what I live for.  :)

cheers
