12/22/08: Have A Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone,
I slept in a little cause we had our Christmas party last night and we were pretty tired. What a great turnout! We had probably 45 people here. It was so good to see everyone again. I sang some songs and ate a little food. Because it was a weekday, the party didn’t go on all night because people had to work this morning. After waking up and having breakfast, my family and I headed downtown to my mom’s work. We went to visit because there were some people there that wanted to meet me. Then tonight we went out to a family friend’s house and had a great dinner and visited for a while. My family and I are trying to squeeze in as much as we can in the little time that I have here. I hope that all of you are having good times with your families as well and I will pray that y’all have a great Christmas! God Bless!

12/21/08: Finally Made It Back To Canada!

Hey everyone,
I’m currently at my parents place in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. We had a great day today. The more that I think about it, I may not have made it home yet had it not been for the prayers and the help from Susan, the travel agent. Thank you so much Susan for going that extra mile in making our flight arrangements work out. I really hope that you and your family have a great Christmas and Happy New Year! God Bless!

12/21/08: Going Back To Canada

We were dropped off super early this morning at the Kansas airport to catch our flights home today. Everything was going pretty smooth until the Northwest lady said that our flight had been canceled due to a bird getting sucked up into the engine of the plane. Here I am thinking oh great, so much for my Christmas party… I'll never make it at this rate. I went up to Susan the Northwest agent and said there has to be another flight out or something and she immediately got on the phone and on the computer and we didn't know exactly what it was she was doing so we just waited. She got off the phone and said I have good news for you three, cause it was Graham, Robin and myself and she said, "well, it's your lucky day guys and she continued on by saying that we are the only three that she can do this for," so she booked us on totally different flights home getting us in earlier. Funny thing is, they were the same flights that the other band members had booked so we all ended up flying home together. We all got ourselves through customs and got our luggage and were greeted by our families on the other side. I love that feeling of anticipation, especially after not having seen them for months and months. Well, I'm at my parent's house now and we are just getting ready for our Christmas party, which will start after 7 tonight. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone! Have a great night guys and God Bless!

12/19/08: Harrah's Casino Staff & Their Buffet!

Woke up this morning in New York and headed to the JFK airport to fly to St. Louis. We arrived in St. Louis and had a little downtime. We then headed to a Cricket store for an appearance. It was a great turnout and so was our show tonight. Might I mention that we played at the Harrahs Casino, a fairly large Casino with an amazing buffet. I would like to thank the Casino and the event staff for taking care of the band and I's meals. It was really, really good. The stage tonight was pretty cool as well. It was 15 feet in the air and we had to play on a stage above the bar. I played a 75-minute show, signed some autographs, and then went up to the room to get some sleep. We all really had a great time there, thanks to the Casino and the Harrahs club for having us.

12/18/08: New York City Is Awesome!

Today is another sight seeing day here in New York. I have the whole day off, so I plan to go see Ground Zero and Central Park and whatever else I can find to do. Last night, when I walked to Time Square… it almost felt like day-time because of all the lights and television screens and everything, it was absolutely incredible. The sights are amazing! It was something else being able to see ground zero, a real chilling kind of feeling. I tried to imagine what it looked like with those buildings there and it was so sad to think of all the innocent lives that were lost that day. My heart goes out to all of them and their families.
First thing today, I went to Central Park and walked around for a little while and it was amazing. You know before going to certain places I have high hopes of what it'll be like and certainly wasn't disappointed with what I saw in New York. We all went to dinner at a sushi restaurant. Now I am at the hotel and I'm gonna call it a night because it's an early morning tomorrow. God Bless!

12/17/08: First Time In New York

Today was a great day here in New York. I was so excited because it was my first time in the amazing city! The radio station out of Providence, Rhode Island, Cat Country did a contest where they brought fifty listeners on a bus for the day to New York. They held an event at the Brother Jimmy BBQ where Mark and I did a 30-minute acoustic performance for 50 people. Everyone was catered food by the restaurant. I never ate before I sang, but they were nice to leave all that incredible food out for us for after the show. It really was a great time. The audience was into it and we had a blast as well. After visiting with everyone and signing autographs, the group was set loose to shop or do whatever in New York for three hours before their bus call, so that was a pretty good deal for the fans. I would like to throw out a huge thank you to Jessica and her whole staff from Cat Country for putting this event together and just for the incredible time!! I just had the rest of the evening after that to sight see in New York, walking everywhere I could and taking lots of pictures. I walked to Times Square and F.A.O Schwartz the big toy store here in the city. It was incredible, wall to wall of toys… pretty much anything and everything you could ever imagine. I managed to find a few things for my niece and nephew there for Christmas. It is a cool thought knowing that it came from that store. I came back to the hotel after walking around for a while and got myself ready for a late night talk show interview with Joey Reynolds. It was a great interview… very laid back and everyone there made us feel super welcomed. Thank you to Joey for having me and I sure hope I get to see you again soon. God Bless!

12/17/08: Christmas For Kids Event

Yesterday I was in Nashville to write with Keith Follese and Kyle Jacobs, it was a great success. After writing with them, Kyle and I went to a studio to record a demo of a song that him and I and Billy Montana wrote last month. It turned out great! I can't wait to hear the finished product. Because of the traffic I, barely had enough time to get home and change for the Christmas For Kids event. What a wonderful event it is. Artists' tour buses are parked in a Walmart parking lot for fans to walk through and visit. Some artists come out and sign autographs on the buses. Fans come out and pay to go around to all buses for autographs and pictures. The money generated is used to buy Christmas gifts for needy children in the area. From there, I headed back home and hit up a late move. I went and saw Four Christmases and I enjoyed it. It was pretty funny. After the movie, I was pretty tired so I called it a night.

I met up with the band in Pittsburgh today. We had an appearance at a Cricket store there. It was a fantastic turnout. The support from Froggy radio has been absolutely incredible and I thank them so much. Afterwards, we headed over to the Rhythm House Café for the show tonight. It was a packed house. The band and I did a 75-minute show for them and it looked like they were really getting into it. After the show, I headed back to the hotel. Shelly was nice enough to bring me back food for a late night dinner. God Bless,

12/13/08: Back In Nashville After Eating A Heaping Mound Of Cheese At The Skyline Chili!

This morning I was in Florence - Cincinnati, Ohio. I made a Cricket visit around 11 a.m.. Another great turnout. I'm really starting to see the attention that the songs are getting by the amount of people that are coming out to the stores, its amazing. I'm just so grateful to all the Cricket stores that I've visited along the way and for all their tremendous support in helping me towards my career. Also, to all the radio stations that have been promoting and playing my music, I am so grateful for all their support. I'm certainly an artist that appreciates everyones support.

Seeing we didn't have a show in Cincinnati tonight, we had people sign their names on pieces of paper and whoever won the draw got to go to lunch with me. Coincidentally, two of my most dedicated fans won the lunch. Melanie, Wyvetta and their friend joined us. We ate across from the Cricket store at the famous Skyline Chili. The food was awesome. I have never seen so much cheese on one plate before. It seriously was a heaping mound of cheese on top of a plate full of spaghetti. Compliments to the chefs for the great meal.

After that, we went back to the bus and Shelley and I got our suitcases and headed back to Nashville in the rental car. It was a smooth 4 hour drive. Now I'm back in Nashville. It feels good to be back home for a few days. I will be writing with my producer Keith Follese and Kyle Jacobs Monday morning and then Shelley and I head back out to meet up with the bus and band in Pittsburgh. Have a great night everyone and God Bless!

12/12/08: Great Meeting Jeremy and His Wife In Dayton Ohio

I had a semi easy day today.. First I got to sleep in on the bus and then I got up to make a Cricket appearance in Dayton, Ohio. It was an amazing turnout. A lot of people showed up and they weren't just there to pay their bills... they were actually there to see me, lol!! Because we weren't playing a show tonight, we did something different and did a drawing for the winner to join me for dinner tonight. A guy named Jeremy and his wife and son won the drawing. They joined me for dinner at Lonestar Steakhouse. We had a great visit and exchanged lots of great stories. I look forward to seeing them again. Now we are back on the bus heading to Cincinnati, so maybe I will see some of you tomorrow at my Cricket visit then. God Bless!

12/11/08: Driving In The New York Snow!

Got up this morning and drove to Buffalo NY. I must say that I love the snow. Seeing it is getting the band and I ready to go home for Christmas. We get a lot of snow up in Alberta, Canada where were originally from.

Well, if you haven't read in some of my earlier journals... Mark, Shelley and myself love our fix of Sushi. We searched and searched for a good Sushi place today, but unfortunately nothing was around or open, darn! We finally got something else to eat and then headed to the venue. The band did sound check ,while I did some emails on the bus. Show time came around and we played a full 75-minute show at the Buckin Buffalo Saloon. They were amazing and made us feel so welcome! We definitely can't wait to come back sometime soon! God Bless!

12/10/08: BEE Christmas Party and Gavin Rossdale

This morning I woke up in Rochester and did an in-store visit with Cricket. The visit went very well! Afterwards, I had a couple of hours to kill so we were all able to get a little rest in. At 5 p.m. we left the hotel and headed to the BEE radio station for an on-air interview. Mark and I went on air with Billy and had a great interview. After that, we hung out with the staff and some clients. It was the BEE's Christmas party, so we hung out, mingled, and played a 30-minute acoustic set. Gavin Rossdale from the band Bush even showed up and mingled a while. Some of you might also know him as being married to Gwen Stefani. We stayed there for a little while and then went back to the hotel. We were all able to get a good night sleep in. Have a great evening everyone! God Bless.

12/9/08: Off To The Doctors, Then Off To New York

Hey everybody,

Monday was an off day for me... I was able to do some laundry, pack, and get a little house cleaning done. It is surprising when your not home how much dust collects, lol. Monday evening I just hung around and chilled.

Tuesday morning, Lawrence and I went over to the doctors to get a CT scan on my sinuses. I am feeling great as of right now, but it never hurts to get regular checkups and make sure everythings looking good with the vocal chords and sinus area. After that, we stopped and had a bite to eat at Arbys and then went back to the loft.

Shelley came and picked us up in front of the loft around 1 p.m.. We made our way to catch a flight to the JFK airport and then onto Rochester, NY. We made it safe and sound in Rochester about an hour ago. I just had a shower and we have the rest of the evening off. I hope you've all had a good day and I will talk to you soon. God Bless!

12/6/2008: Corndogs And Southwest Crew

Woke up early this morning and drove to Santa Maria for an acoustic show with Sunny Country! It was held in the Hyundai parking lot. We played to a nice little crowd. We did a 45 minute acoustic set and everyone there seemed to really enjoy it and so did we!

At the show, Sunny Country drew a winner to come to dinner with us that night. The lucky winner and her daughter came from the front row. After the set, we had a little bit of down time, so we used that time and took a drive to Pismo Beach. We walked around enjoying the scenery from the pier. Shelley and I got a little hungry, so we both got hold me over corn dogs. I also got a hot Chocolate while she got a coke. I pretty much inhaled my corn dog to the point of almost choking, so I had to steal the coke out of her hand and wash down the corndog that was stuck in my throat... not fun!

From there, we drove back to the hotel to pick up Puff daddy, who you may know as Mark of the band. We made our way to the radio station to meet JT. We followed JT from the station to a famous restaurant called the Hitching Post! Many celebrities have dined there, one of my favorites being John Candy. It was an amazing dinner! We had a great time visiting with JT and Nikki and the two winners Heidi and Shianne. I would definitely like to go back to that place... They have the best artichokes in the world!! We visited for a good little while and then hit the road running to LA where we stayed the night.

The next morning, we got up and caught a flight home to Nashville!! I also wanna mention that on this flight I became a part-time flight attendant. It was a coincindence that the flight attendants names were Adam and Rob, so Robin and I were asked to hand out peanuts and crackers. In return, I got plastic Southwest wings, a coloring book and drink coupons, which I will more than likely give away as Christmas stocking stuffers to some of my band members! I hope you've all had a great week and I will fill you in all next as to what I'm doing. Thank you and God Bless!

12/5/08: Dedicated Fan Flew Down From Canada!

Friday morning I went by the The Bull in Reno and did an on air radio interview. Mark and I played "Blue Christmas" and it went over very well. After that, we hit the road to San Jose and headed to KRTY. I played in the board room to a bunch of the staff there. Nate and Tina were just a few in the audience and they are very supportive towards my music! From there, we made our way over to the venue for sound check and a little bit of down time before the show. Club Rodeo was awesome and fed all of us dinner! The show was awesome... I remembered playing there before opening up for Josh Gracin, so it was nice to be back again!

I wanna mention that a very dedicated fan of the band, Christina, flew down from Canada to attend the show. This is her second time coming down to see us. She told us that she spent $500 on an airline ticket, so the least that we could do is make her feel welcome and get her into the show. It was real nice to see a familiar face from back home. To top it off, she bought us a $100 Starbucks gift card.. We love our Starbucks!! After the show, we all had to pack up what we needed because the bus was heading all the way to New York. The rest of us stayed the night in San Jose.

12/1/08 Riding The Bus To California.....

We are on day two now of our long travel to Riverside, California. We've covered a lot of land today in beautiful Arizona. It's one thing to travel in a vehicle, but when you can travel in a bus and look out and see the scenery all through the windows of the bus, it's pretty cool! Our bus driver said that we should be arriving at our destination (Riverside, California) around 8 p.m. tonight. Along the ride, we've been watching movies on the bus. We just got through watching (Step Brothers) with Will Ferrell -- funny, funny, funny, lol. I hope you've all had a great week and weekend and have a great week ahead. God Bless!

11/29/08: Great Shows In Texas

Hey everyone,
The show we had the other night in College Station went well, not a huge crowd but the people that were there seemed to enjoy the show. After my appearance, there was a group of people gathered in one area near the stage. I went and said my hellos to all of them and signed pictures.

Last night, the band and I were in Austin ,TX to play at Stubbs again. The last time we were there, we opened up for Gary Allan. The only difference was, this time we played inside the club instead of outside and we were less a few thousand people, lol. The band and I have a really good attitude towards everything when we do shows. We play with the same dedication… If there are 2,000 people or only 10 people, we are still gonna give it our all and put the same heart behind our show. We just love to play. We've definitely been doing a lot of shows lately and it's been an awesome run so far. After the show at Stubbs, we hung out and mingled in the club for a little bit.

A little bit later, Barry and I went back to the hotel while the bus went on to Denver. We stayed last night in Austin, TX and caught a flight out this afternoon to meet up with the bus in Denver. We just got word that they are still an hour out because they got caught up in some snow. Happy Thanksgiving to y'all, I hope you had good quality family time and were able to feast out as well. Barry and I made the best out of what we had to work with here in Denver. Seeing most of the restaurants were closed, we ended up finding a Burger King that was open. We started to think that we were gonna go hungry on Thanksgiving and then there it was shining like a diamond in the rough… Burger King! Barry was funny, he said at one point, "all we need now is to request a burger with a feather hanging out of it and pretend that we're having a big turkey dinner," haha.. Those fries tasted extra and I mean extra greasy tonight. ahah.

The band should hopefully be here soon. They've been on the bus all day traveling to get here, so I'm sure their gonna be tired. I hope y'all had a great evening and I'm gonna sign off now so goodnight to y'all. God Bless!

11/27/08: Playing In Colorado

Hey everyone,
Yesterday I woke up around 9 a.m. in Denver, Colorado. I met up with Barry and we headed to Ft. Collins to make an in-store Cricket appearance. We had a nice turnout at the store and some dedicated fans drove a little ways to come and see me, which was nice. Letty and her daughter Lindsey and their friend Melanie went above and beyond by bringing me a get-well basket. Yes, I've managed to get sick again and not just me, but a lot of the band are experiencing sicknesses right now as well. Shelley actually had to fly home because she got really sick and didn't want to get the rest of us sick, but we still managed to catch it. We've gone through a lot of cold weather changes and I really think it was just a matter of time before we got sick. Need not to worry, I'm taking lots of vitamins and drinking plenty of tea and water.
Last night we played at the Grizzly Rose, which is a world-renowned club a lot of artists have played at through the years. The show we played was with the Eli Young Band. They are out of Texas and they put on a good show! We left the club just after 2 a.m. and drove through the night to Riverside California. We've got our next few days listed as just travel days, so that's good. It will be nice to get a little rest. I will update y'all as I go, take care and have a great day. God Bless!

11/25/08: Raising Money For Food Bank and Traveling!

Had a great time in Columbia, SC today. Mark and I played a 35-minute acoustic set at Ozzies Country Island Pub, a show put on by the local country station
WWNU. This show was to raise money for the local food bank and over 3,000 dollars was raised!! I was happy to be a part of it and so where all the other artists that were there to show their support. From there we drove to Charlotte, NC where we hopped a plane to College Station, TX. We arrived safe and sound here in College Station earlier today and had the rest of the day off. It was sure a nice little luxury to be able to sleep in till 10 a.m. this morning, lol. I don't get those kind of mornings to often, haha.. We left the hotel at 11 this morning and headed over to do a Cricket in store visit. I think a few more fans were made there which is something I'm always shooting for. After the in store visit, we had lunch at Jason's Deli, great place to get a good quick meal. After that, we made our way to the radio station where I did an on air interview with a DJ whose name was Adam also. He did a video recording of Mark and I playing "Then She Cried" acoustically. The station puts these videos on their website and on YouTube, so it turns out to be great promotion. After the station visit, we headed back to the hotel. I don't have to leave the hotel until 9:45 p.m. I'm making good use of this time though by calling radio stations to thank them for playing my songs and for all the support, as well as writing my journals. Tonight our show will be held at Schotzi's and we'll be going onstage at 11 or shortly after. It's going to be an intimate type setting and we'll play a 45-minute set acoustically so it should be a lot of fun! I hope you all have a great evening and God Bless!

11/22/08: I Love Making People Happy

Today we did a show in Memphis, Tennessee. The home of the King Elvis Presley! Something very special that happened while in Memphis. My buddy Joe Leathers (whom I have written a bunch with) and his family came to the show. Before the show, Joe came to the bus and visited for a little while... I noticed he was carrying a guitar case in his hand. I figured he was coming to pick a new tune for me or something. But no, he bought the guitar for me! He said to me, "Adam I couldn't think of what I wanted to get for you to show my appreciation for our friendship, so I thought I would get you a guitar knowing how much you love to play!" I was very shocked and extremely thankful. I asked him to sign the back of it for me. I couldn't get it out of my hands for the rest of the evening. Joe is a great guy, a great friend, a great father to his kids and a great husband to his wife. He has got great faith, which makes me respect him even more.

The show had a tremendous turnout! The club was packed to the max making it very hard for myself and the band to get to and from the stage - haha, but we survived! We pulled out of Memphis and drove through the night. We arrived in Ft. Wayne, IN on Friday. In Ft. Wayne, I had a station visit at WQHK and an interview with Dave the DJ. It was a smooth sailing interview. I played "Down The Road" live on-air, while he spun both "Crazy Days" and my new single, "What It Takes." After the visit, Dave, Shelley and myself went to dinner at O'Charleys. The rest of the band ate at Logans Roadhouse. The Neon Armadillo club was so awesome to us. They took care of the band's meal at Logans and offered their help in any other way to us, which was so nice! After the three of us were done eating at O'Charleys, we made our way back to the bus where I had a little time to get freshened up before the show.

The band and I took to the stage around 9:30 p.m. to play a 75-minute set. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had some good friends come to the show to surprise me and show their support. Once the show was done and everything, we packed up and said our thank yous and good byes. We were again on our way... this time to Waterford, MI. We didn't have a whole lot going on during the day in Waterford, but the band and I did have a show at Boomers Roadhouse. It was a big ol' dance club and restaurant. We all had a great time there! We played a 75-minute show. Before us, a group by the name of Samborn played and did a great job! The group consisted of an 11-year old boy on guitar and vocals and his 14-year old sister on piano and vocal, very impressive. It brought me back to the days when I was 11-years old, playing out at places and just enjoying myself so much. I wish them all the best in the future..

After the show, I drew a raffle ticket from a bucket. The raffle winner got a signed electric guitar from me. Well, sure enough.. The ticket I drew belonged to that 11-year old little boy Mitch Samborn. He came racing up to the stage and accepted his new guitar with a big smile on his face. I love seeing people happy... especially when it is over something they really love. After that, I signed some autographs and then made my way back to the bus. We pulled out of there shortly after and Mark, Shelley, Barry and myself were dropped off at the hotel. We are leaving out of Waterford tomorrow morning early for Columbia, SC where Mark and I are doing an acoustic show for WWNU (Ozzies Country Island).

Well, thank you all for the tremendous support. Hopefully I'll see some of you at shows out on the road soon. God Bless and have a great night.

11/18-11/20: Busy Week!

Hey everyone,

It is ag here to recap on the last three days... starting off the week Monday morning I had a writing appointment scheduled with my producer Keith Follese and his wife Adrienne. We were blessed with yet another great song! I sure do love when great songs come out of sessions. It is a very rewarding feeling to me. The three of us as well as my piano player David Aide went to lunch after that. From there, I had to go get the oil changed in my truck. This time, I decided to go the synthetic route so that I’ll get a few more thousand miles out of my oil change. It just made more sense doing that even though I haven’t been driving my truck that often seeing I’ve been out of town so much. I just chilled the rest of the evening. Tuesday morning Shelley, Mark and myself left super early for Milwaukee. As soon as we got to Milwaukee, we immediately had to rush to a Cricket in-store event. I have to say, it was an amazing visit!! FM 106 must have done an incredible job promoting it because there were a lot of people there. They really made us feel welcome. Mark and I were happy to play some songs, meet people, and sign autographs. After the in-store, we made a visit into FM 106. Mark and I played an acoustic set to 20 special radio listeners. Our original plan following the radio visit was to go to dinner with Kerry from the station, but unfortunately he wasn’t able to make it due to family plans. So us three and Jack Purcell from Big Machine hit up a Sushi restaurant for dinner and the food was awesome!! Wednesday morning rolled around fast. We were again on our way driving to Chicago. The trip was going so well until we hit the worst Chicago traffic ever. It probably wouldn’t have been so bad and stressful if we wouldn’t have had to catch a flight, but we did and we were cutting it very close. Shelly dropped Mark and I off at the airport not knowing if we would even make it, but on top of that Shelley had to take the rental vehicle back and catch the same flight as us. Luckily, all three of us made it just in the nick of time. When we landed in Louisville, we met up with the band and bus at the hotel and then made our way from there to the venue. Robin, who works for Cricket-- bless her heart, was so nice to pick us up for the Cricket in-store event. We kind of played this in-store visit by the seat of our pants because on the way there we were notified that it had not been promoted by radio. Fortunately though, people still go by my website info and were waiting there to meet me, which was awesome! Afterwards, I went to dinner at Lilly's with Coyote from WAMZ. The food was awesome and we had a great time. The show afterwards at Jim Porters had a good turnout. After that, we hit the road to Memphis later that night. Today we are doing a show here in Memphis, the home of the King, Elvis Presley! Hope you guys are having a great day and I will talk to you soon. God Bless!

Back On The Road

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all doing well! The last show we did was in Chicago at a club called Joe's Sports Bar. There were quite a few people there. The band and I played a 75-minute set. Afterwards, I signed a few autographs before getting back on the bus. Once everyone returned back to the bus, we headed towards Lexington. Big Dave drove the bus through the night. We arrived around 11 a.m. the next morning where I had a Cricket in-store visit to do. It was definitely one of our best visits. Quite a few people showed up and were excited to hear music and get autographs. After the visit, the bus headed back to Nashville. We arrived at the loft around 5:00 p.m. or so. It was cool because we had the whole night left to do whatever we wanted. I made a trip to Walmart and picked up a few things and then just chilled the rest of the night. Remember how I said I was helping my best friend move? Well, with Marks help, I was able to move the bed set in so that was nice to get that out of the way. For a late lunch or early dinner... whatever you wanna call it.. I ate at El Ray, which is a Mexican restaurant in downtown Nashville. That filled the hunger spot! Before I ate, I was so hungry that my stomach felt like it was eating itself, lol.

Take care everyone and I will talk to you soon. God Bless!

CMA Award Week Wrap Up!

Hey everyone,

It was CMA week in Nashville, so I have been very busy. I hit the ground running on Monday morning around 9 a.m. We had a lot of different interviews at various locations. We filmed a lot of videos for CMT Canada's website and got some really great footage. Later in the day, I had a fitting at Flavour to get me set up for the CMA Red Carpet and Awards show. I finished off Monday night by doing a full band performance at the Tin Roof, which is a pretty famous Nashville club. There was probably over 200 people at the show, mostly consisting of radio and label people, which was good. We all had a blast! Shortly after that, I headed back to my loft and called it a night.

Tuesday morning I had an insanely early morning. I started off at 6:15 a.m. and did the radio remotes at the Hilton. For all of you who are unsure of what radio remotes are, basically it is when all the radio station across the country set up in one room and broadcast live while the artists go from table to table doing interviews. I did about 70 interviews on Tuesday. As tiring as it may be or sound, I know it is a very important thing to do. I enjoyed getting the opportunity to catch up with all the radio folks I've met the past few months on the radio tour. My night ended with a get together at my manager's loft. There were about 100 people or so at his place. There was a jam session and I played few acoustic songs. I left the party at 12:15 a.m. and tried to get some sleep before starting another long day on Wednesday. By that time, I was pretty much a zombie, lol.

Wednesday started off early again for Shelley, Barry, Lawrence, a couple of my band members and myself. At 6:15 a.m. we left to do more radio remotes, which actually didn't last as long as Tuesday's, but we were able to get a lot done. I also did a bunch of interviews at the CMT building. I really got lucky.. On Wednesday, parts of downtown Nashville lost power. I got out of the remotes just before Nashville had the power outage. A couple of artists weren't so lucky and were stuck because the elevators didn't work. The funny thing is that when I did my interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, we seemed to be the only ones on the street with power. Rest assured though, it wasn't me that knocked out the power.. I don't require that much lighting, just a lot of sound, haha. After that, I had to get ready for the CMA awards Red Carpet, so I headed back to my loft, had a shower and got into my wardrobe. Thanks again to Amy at Flavour for helping me get my wardrobe together. I was super happy with it! Lawrence, Christy and I walked the Red Carpet and I did a ton of interviews. When the Red Carpet stuff was done, we headed in and found our seats and got settled for the 3 hour show that was ahead of us. What a great show it was!! We were second row on the right so when The Eagles, Kellie Pickler, Keith Urban, and Taylor Swift performed, we were right there. I was really impressed with Carrie Underwood's performance. Not only did she sing great, but I think what got me the most was when the lady came out and spoke of the loss of her husband who was in the armed forces. I'm not ashamed to say that that brought a tear to my eye. Then Carrie started into her song, so "wow" is all I can say to that!

After the show, I went to Legends to attend a Carl Black Chevrolet after party. I played a song on my guitar, broke a string and then covered my back by singing a song acapella, lol. Following that, we headed back to the Sommet Center, where we attended my label, Big Machine's after party. There were a lot of people there. For about an hour or so, I mingled with everyone. The bus picked us up from the party at 12:30 a.m. so we could head to Grand Rapids, Michigan for my show the next day. Man was it good to get on the bus and get some sleep, hah. The band and I had our show tonight at The Intersection here in Grand Rapids. It was a great time and great turnout! I got to see Doug and Dave from B-93 again. They have been incredibly supportive towards my music. Now were all on the bus getting ready to go to Chicago for another show tomorrow night. I will talk to y'all soon. Hope you've been doing well. God Bless!

"Big Red" From K Country

Hey everyone!

The band and I are now in Ocala, Florida. We arrived here this morning and had a really great day. I didn't have anything to do until our show later this evening, so the band and I had some good ole' down time. The show took place downtown on the square where we performed in front of some very dedicated K-Country fans! After the show, I signed autographs for an hour or so and then headed across the street where we met up with "Big Red" from K-Country and had a late dinner. It was great getting to hang with Big Red, he is a great guy! We went back to the bus after that and stayed the night in Ocala. God Bless!

Accidentally Left One Of The Band Members In Ocala........

This morning we headed out of Ocala bright and early to head towards Deray Beach, Florida. We were about an hour and a half down the road when we realized that we were short one guy, lol. Yup, there was definitely no Puff. After worrying for quite some time, Shelley eventually called the hotel and located Puff daddy, well needless to say Mark was in quite a panic. Luckily Barry's sister and husband live in Ocala, so they drove Mark up for us just in time for sound check. We had to bug Mark a little and found time to make a pit stop at Walmart to get him just a few little "welcome home" gifts. We picked him up a Cars alarm clock, a postcard that we all signed and a book called, The Pokey Little Puppy, lol! He got a good laugh out of that, and so did we.

Prior to today's show, we made a visit to WIRK. I played 3 songs live on air. My interviewer Dina Bee was an awesome interviewer and Mitch, well he was quite a comedian. He is a great dude and has been very supportive. The show was awesome tonight. We had a great crowd and we can't wait to come back. God Bless!

Writing With Kyle Jacobs and Billy Montana

This morning I woke up and had a writing session at Curb with my buddy Kyle Jacobs and Billy Montana. Before that though, Kyle and I went for lunch at a Sushi restaurant. After that, the three of us started into a really cool song. Unfortunately, I had to check out early on the writing session because I had another commitment doing an interview with Country Music Across America. The interview lasted probably 15 minutes and went pretty smooth. After that, I headed back to my loft and had nothing to do until midnight. At midnight, we all met downstairs and loaded up the bus. We are now heading to Mobile, Alabama. I'm about ready to call it a night though so I will sign off... but, I hope y'all had a great evening and I will talk to you soon. God Bless!

Traveling!

Shelley and I left Tucson around 9:45 this morning. The rest of the band left on a later flight. We are all ending up in Nashville today and we will be home for a few days! As much as I love the traveling and meeting new people, I must say there is nothing like going home. We should arrive at 5:55 p.m. and the band will be getting in around 6:30 p.m. I hope that y'all are doing well and thank you for all the continued support. Have a great evening and God Bless!

And For Halloween I Was...A Country Singer

Hope you all had a great Halloween!! This evening the band and I played a show at the Maverick Club in Tucson, Arizona. It was a dance hall type setting and we played about a 75-minute set. It was kinda cool because everyone was dressed up in their Halloween costumes. They were also up dancing to most of our songs. The band and I threw around the idea of dressing up, but at the last minute we decided not to. At one point in the set, I mentioned to the crowd that we didn't dress up because we were scary enough.. So this year for Halloween, I went as a country singer, LOL. Anyhow, the show went off well. Afterwards, I signed some autographs and headed back to the hotel to try and get a few hours of sleep.

CFCW Edmonton!

This morning I woke up around 6:00 a.m and had an interview with my hometown country station CFCW in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I had a good time chatting with Sharon. Afterwards, she was complimentary towards me and said that the interview sounded awesome. That made me feel really good. Following the interview, I had another one scheduled for 10 a.m.. I was able to get a little more sleep in before I did that. The interview was with another station from back home and they were excited to have the opportunity to chat with me as I was with them. After that, I had time to relax before meeting the bus downstairs at 5 p.m. to go to the Grand Ole Opry house. Yes, we had the opportunity again last night for the 3rd time to play the Opry stage. What a thrill again that was! It never fails, I always get the excited nervous feeling before walking out on that stage. It's not a scared feeling by any means, it is a rush of adrenalin that I feed off of while on stage. The performance was a magical moment once again for Chad, Mark and myself and yet another experience we will never forget! The bus took us all home after that and I packed up my suitcase for my trip out west. I had a chance to call home and talk to my parents, and then went to bed shortly after that.

Pancake Pantry and North Carolina

I woke up around 9:15 this morning. We went to breakfast at the Pancake Pantry. For those of you who are not familiar with Pancake Pantry, it is a pretty famous eating place in Nashville. I love their pancakes and especially their hashbrowns. I had some time to kill after that, so I went back to the loft and laid down for a little while. I packed some clothes for our one day trip to Greensboro. At 4 p.m., Shelley was waiting out front to pick us up and we all went to the airport to catch a flight to Greensboro, North Carolina. I hope you've all had a great night and I'll talk to y'all soon, goodnight.

God Bless

Video Shoot

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let you know the video shoot for "What It Takes" was a huge success! I can not wait for you all to see it! We used two different locations for the shoot; the first being a house and the second being an old dusty warehouse. For the house shots, we got everything from me coming home from the grocery store, to cooking breakfast for a girl, to having a pillow fight and feathers flying everywhere. Roman White was the director of the video and I must say I was very impressed with not only his directing skills, but his whole attitude and how he made the whole experience enjoyable for everyone.

For the second shot, we were in an old kind of warehouse place that was rustic and dirty, but it had the look that we were going for for the video. That's where we captured all the performance shots. There was super cool lighting and other special effects. The shoot wrapped up at around 7:30 p.m.. I got some Hooters' hot wings and then went back to the loft and chilled and shortly after that went to bed.

Shopping, Video Treatments and Food!

Yesterday I woke up thinking I had a writing session, but actually it's scheduled for tomorrow. Instead of writing, my manager Lawrence and I did a little shopping. I guess you could say that, haha. When him and I go shopping, we pretty much buy the store... especially when I have a video shoot coming up. We needed a lot of selections to choose from. Lawrence's dad came into town yesterday too. He met up with us at the store and he waited patiently while I tried on clothes, so thank you Wayne. I went back to the loft after that and grabbed a little Mexican food from across the street. I gulped it back fairly fast. Shelley came over to the loft shortly after to help me get all my video wardrobe stuff together and then at 3 p.m. we all headed over to Big Machine Records where Sandi Borchetta talked about video treatments with us and looked over all my wardrobe stuff. Everyone was super excited and eager to do the video. The rest of the night I had off to relax. God Bless!

Writing Again In Nashville.....

Today I woke up and headed over to Curb Records to write with Nicole Witt and Skip Black. We wrote an awesome song called, "The First Time." After writing, I came back to the loft and chilled. Later I went and got take out from PF Changs. I love that place and the food is awesome! I'm heading to bed now because I have a super early morning tomorrow and a BIG day ahead of me. We are shooting the video for "What It Takes." Wish me luck everyone! I'm super excited about shooting the video and watching the whole project come together. God Bless!

Back In Nashville....

Yesterday we started off the morning in Gainesville, Virginia and drove to Scranton, Pennsylvania. Once we arrived, Mark and I quickly got ready for our show with WGGY. It was a show to benefit Breast Cancer and it was held at a bowling alley. It was set up as a guitar pull and Jeremy McComb, James Otto and myself were the entertainment. Each of us did 4 songs to a very supportive crowd. I even wore a pink shirt that they handed out to everyone that said on the front " I fight like a girl" lol, but on the back it had Froggy 101 strikes out breast cancer.

After we were done there, we left to try and find a place to eat. We drove quite a ways and came across Perkins. The food definitely hit the spot. We were all starving by that time. Then we drove on to Allentown, Pa. We stayed the night and got a few hours sleep. We woke up this morning at 6:45 a.m. and headed to the Lehigh Valley airport. We are now waiting to catch our flight home to Nashville. I hope y'all have a great day and I will be in touch with you soon. God Bless!

Wrote A Great Song In Nashville

While in Nashville, I co-wrote a smash with Seth Jones and Sam Tinnesz. We started writing at 10 a.m. and it took us like an hour or so to complete the song, but I tell you what... we were stoked about it! It's called, "The Last Thing On Your Mind."

After we got through writing, I took the Corvette back to Carl Black and picked up my manager's truck for him. I loved cruising around in that Vette. The fact that it was a stick shift brought the enjoyment level up even more. I went back to the loft after that and went across the street to a mexican restaurant where I ordered take out to take back to the loft. I went back and stuffed my face. It must sound like I eat a lot because I talk about it a lot. It's just when your schedule is so up and down like mine, you try to eat whenever you get a free second which isn't very often. Last night at around 6:30, my manager and I went to a SOCAN publishing event down on West End and mingled for about an hour and a half. I saw some familiar faces that I haven't seen in quite some time and I met a lot of new people too. It was a good evening out. Little Joe, our limo driver, took us back to the loft after that and I quickly packed up and went right to bed.

This morning I woke up at 5 a.m. Shelley picked me up out front at 5:45 am and we headed to the airport to catch our flight to New Orleans. We just arrived in New Orleans and I'm sitting on the curb waiting for Shelley to come by and get me in the rental vehicle. Thankfully I have a Wifi card and get Internet. I'm getting up on the times, lol. We are driving to Lafayette from here and I have a radio visit when we get there and then a show later on tonight. Please wish us all luck out here. Your prayers mean a lot. Have a great day and God Bless!

Cricket Communications Promotion Going Well

Yesterday I woke up bright and early and headed to another radio visit. My first stop was at 7 a.m. and the second was at 9 a.m. Both visits were in Portland, Oregon.

I sure wish that we had more time to sight see because I've heard that Multnomah Falls is quite beautiful. Following the two visits, I had a little time off so I went back to the hotel and laid down for a few hours to catch up on some much needed sleep.

After resting for a few hours, I met up with Shelley, Barry and Larry down in the lobby to head over to my Cricket appearance. It was another great turnout. We had quite a few people show up to hear me sing and get autographs. After my appearance, we were all starving, so we grabbed a bite to eat when we left Cricket and headed back to the bus.

I had a show last night at around 8 pm at The Ponderosa Club. The band and I did an hour set to a very responsive crowd. Once the show was done and I had signed autographs, I went to the bus and packed up some clothes to fly to Nashville. I called it a night shortly after that.

Shelley and I met in the lobby first thing this morning and headed to the Portland airport to catch our flight back to Nashville. The flights were on time, but our bags did not arrive with us. Hopefully they will get here soon. Well, I hope that you all had a great evening.. I hung out with friends tonight and now I'm back home getting ready for bed, so I will sign off for the night. God bless you all!

Seattle Reminds Me Of Vancouver......

This morning we left our hotel in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and headed to Seattle. We arrived here and did my first radio visit at 2 p.m. with Dial-Global. Following that, we made another stop at KKWF "The Wolf." Seattle sure is a pretty city. From what I have seen so far, it kind of reminds me of Vancouver, Canada. The buildings are close together and there's water around us, which makes the scenery refreshing and beautiful. After today's two visits, we are driving to Portland, Oregon. Have a great day everyone and I'll talk to y'all soon. God Bless!

On The West Coast.....

Hey everyone,
I'm in Spokane right now and I am having a great day. First thing this morning we went and visited radio station 96.1. I had an interview with Lynn Daniels, followed by an on-air performance. She was a great interviewer and quite an incredible lady. We all enjoyed chatting with her and all the other wonderful people at the station. Following that we brought Mark back to the bus, which was at the venue, and then we went on to our second Cricket Mobile in-store appearance. We're really not sure what to expect when making these visits because the idea is so new, but both times have been great turnouts. What I'm doing is going on-site to the Cricket locations to do a meet and greet, sign pictures and do a couple of acoustic songs for the people there. We then get people to sign up for a drawing where the winner will get 2 round-trip airline tickets, 2 nights accommodations, and the opportunity to hang out with me and the guys for a day at the show of their choice in 2009. So, if you see where I'm going to be at a Cricket Mobile store near you, come out, say hi, and sign up to win the trip! You will also get to hang with me for a day. It's a pretty good deal and I'm looking forward to eventually being able to hang with the winner at a future show. Now I'm back at the bus. We are doing a show here tonight at Big Al's Country Club in Spokane. It is a free show with donations going towards the Children's Miracle Network. After the show, we will hop on the bus and spend the night here in Spokane. We will then head out first thing in the morning for Seattle. Thank you guys and have a great evening. God Bless!

October 7th, 2008

We are raveling to Boise today. We left the loft in Nashville around 4:00 a.m. this morning. The band and I had our big show last night and it was a total success. Prior to my show, I also was able to attend a little bit of the Crossroads taping of Def Leppard and Taylor Swift. They sounded great! There was actually a point in the show where Taylor looked over at me and and was trying to wave or get my attention and it didn't register to me that she was waving at me, lol. About a half hour before the Taylor taping, we headed towards Studio A to start setting up for my show. I can't begin to tell y'all how amazing the stage looked where I played. The whole setup (room, sound, food, drinks) everything was done very professionally. There was a backdrop made up with my initials (ag) that hung on the stage behind us. Behind that was a huge blue curtain type backdrop with lights hanging all over it. Overall, it was just an amazing event and evening. We all got about an hour to 2 hours worth of sleep last night and now we are on the go again, but it's all good and we are having fun! Once we get to Boise, Mark and I have some things to do for Cricket Mobile and some other promo type stops before the show this evening. It's gonna be a jammed packed day, but it will definitely test what we got and how good we can go on little sleep. Thank you all for the continued support and God Bless!

Shelley, Lawrence, Barry, Mark and I flew to Fresno, California today. We just arrived about an hour ago and got all settled into our hotel.

Buffalo and Tulsa

September 25th and 26th, 2008
Yesterday the band and I flew from Buffalo, NY to Tulsa, OK on the earliest flight imaginable. We went straight to the venue, where we were getting ready to do two shows for KVOO. It was a pre and post concert show in the parking lot for the Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift concert. After my pre show was done, Shelly and I walked over to the BOK center and were given backstage passes to watch the show. It was cool because we were able to chat with Taylor and her mom backstage. They were very nice, down to earth people. Taylor put on a very high energy show. We ended up staying a little while into the Rascal Flatts show and then headed back to the parking lot to get ready for the post show. There was not alot of people around before we went on, but once we started playing and got heard, more and more people started to crowd around. After the show, I signed some autographs and headed back to the bus. The bus took us to the hotel and I went up to my room and was lucky to get a few hours of sleep.

Today, I woke up really early and headed to the the Kansas City airport. I am here now and getting ready to board our flight back to Nashville. As soon as we get home, I'm gonna take a shower and get ready for a taping with CMT Canada. We're gonna sing 5 songs for the taping and probably do some brief interview-type stuff. After that, we will have the rest of the day off to get some much needed rest. I hope that ya'll are doing well and I will talk to you again soon. God Bless!

Buffalo to Erie

September 23rd, 2008
Hey everyone, how you doing? I'm doing well. Early this afternoon, we drove from Buffalo, NY to Erie, PA. We visited radio station WTWF "The WOLF." Mark and I went on air and played three songs live and I did an interview with them as well. Everyone at the station was awesome and very welcoming to us. We left Erie after the station visit and drove about an hour back to Buffalo. Now I have the rest of the day off to chill and get some emails and other things done. Tomorrow, I have a show here at "Club Paradise." We are all looking forward to having a great time with the fans in Buffalo. Thank you all for the continued support, it truly means so much. Have a good day and God Bless!

Busy past few days......

Hey everyone, it sure has been a busy past few days.


In my last journal, I had mentioned that the band and I were heading on the bus to Jacksonville, FL. We had a show at the Landing, which is located along the northbank of the St. Johns River. It was beautiful! We entertained a crowd of about 7 thousand people. We did a 45-minute set to a very energized crowd. It was really great! I would say the only downfall of the evening was the fact that we got so much rain. Things started to flood over, including our band gear. After the show, we all spent time drying off our guitars and foot pedals. It wasn't exactly a pretty scene.



From there, we all headed back to the hotel and parked the bus in the hotel parking lot. Big Dave, our bus driver, stayed in a room at the hotel while the rest of us stayed on the bus. It made more sense for us to do this because we had a 5:30 a.m. departure the next morning to go from the hotel to the airport. The next morning, we hopped on a Southwest plane to Las Vegas. Yes, the city of lights… We all love going there! I do not gamble… I just really enjoy walking the Las Vegas strip and seeing all the lights and amazing hotels.



Yesterday, the band and I did a show at the Las Vegas Speedway. It was my first time being at a track like that. We played in the center garage part of the track, where they had a stage set up and everything. After the show, we waited for the Limo to come and get us to take us back to the hotel. This wasn't any ordinary kind of limo though, no, it was a 30-sum foot truck limo. The driver said it was like 1 of 20 in the entire world. We all had the rest of the evening off and some of us I'm sure went to gamble and have fun, but I on the other hand was wiped out and decided to go back to the room and chill.



That brings us to today. I just woke up like an hour ago and we have the day off. I think we're gonna go race dune buggies in the desert sand and you never know, maybe even go catch a Vegas show this evening. Other than that, that's what we've been up to the last few days. Take care guys and I'll be in touch. God Bless!

Going to Jacksonville

September 18th, 2008

Today is a travel day for the band and I. We left the loft around noon and it is now 1:13 p.m., so we haven't been on the road for too long. We're heading to Jacksonville, Florida. We have a full band show there tomorrow night as part of the WGNE Gator Country Concert Series. Before that though, we are stopping to pick up my road manager Barry in Atlanta. While in Atlanta, we're gonna stop in at our favorite restaurant (BUCKNERS) for some good ole' home cooked food! It's awesome there! If you haven't been there, I would highly recommend it! Anyhow, have a great day everyone and I will talk to you y'all soon. God Bless!

Laid Some Tracks & Went To The Dr.

Today the band I left the loft at 9 a.m. to head over to my producer Keith Follese's house. We laid the bed tracks to two songs and I also cut guide vocals. We spent most of the morning and afternoon out there. At 2:45 p.m., I had a doctor's appointment to get my sinus infection checked out. The visit went well. Basically, we just mentioned to the doctor that I've got a show Friday in Jacksonville, Florida, that I need to be healthy for it. He prescribed me some antibiotics and I can already feel them starting to kick in. Other than that, my evenings been off to just relaxing and getting laundry and packing done before we leave tomorrow. I pray that every ones day went well. God Bless!

Yesterday.......

Hi everyone,
I hope you all are having a great day. I have been around the house all day calling radio stations to thank them for adding and playing my song. I called about 37 or so. In between making radio phone calls, I managed to rearrange the furniture in my bedroom. I like it better now and it seems more cozy. Other than that, I'm still on the tail end of this sinus infection, but it is getting way better now. I have the evening off now, so I think I'm just gonna relax, maybe go grab a bite to eat somewhere and then go and rent a movie. I'll post another journal tomorrow, talk to you y'all then. God Bless!

Fighting A Cold...

Hey everyone..

I hope you've all been doing well. Unfortunately, I've been fighting a sinus infection the last few days, so it hasn't been much fun.

To fill you all in, the Saturday after the Grand Ole Opry appearance the band and I had the day off to get stuff done and clean the loft. On Sunday, a few of us went down the street to Buffalo Billiards and was a part of the Vanden Bosch Charity event for Cystic Fibrosis. I truly believe in charitable events and love to help out in anyway that I can.

Today being Monday, I've been at home battling my sinus infection and making calls to radio stations to thank them for adding and playing my song. Well, I hope all of you have a great day and I'll be in touch with you all soon. Thank you and God Bless!

Played The Opry Again On Saturday!!

Wow, what an exciting day it has been! I started off the morning by going to Big D and Bubba. Mark, Robin and myself played three songs live and then followed that up with an interview. We played "Crazy Days," "Fast Enough" and a countrified version of Justin Timberlake's song, "What Goes Around." They really seemed to like our version of that..

After the radio visit, I came home and chilled for awhile and got a little more sleep. Around 5 o'clock, the band and I met at my manager's loft where we went together to meet up with Big Dave and the bus. We all hopped on and headed towards the Grand Ole Opry! This being my 2nd time playing the Opry now, I knew a little more of what to expect, but again I was so excited!! I don't think it really matters how much an artist plays the Opry, it's still gonna be an amazing feeling every time! Mark, Chad, the Opry house band and I went on stage at around 8:30 p.m. We played two songs. The first song we played was "Crazy Days" and then we followed that up with "What It Takes." It was a packed house from what I could see from the stage view and the audience seemed to really be into the music!

After the show, Lawrence and I chatted with Jeanne Sealy. She mentioned to us that she has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry going on 41 years.. We both were amazed by that and so was Jeanne. She told us that the years have flown by so fast and standing there talking to her, I couldn't help but think of all the people and all the things she had witnessed all those years at the Opry. Both Lawrence and I walked Jeanne to her vehicle after the show backstage and we asked her if she'd be into writing sometime. She said she would love to! So hopefully in the near future we can make that happen.

From the Opry, we made our way over to the Nashville Palace just across the way from the Opryland Hotel. As a last minute thing, The band and I got up on stage and played for 20 to 25 minutes. Besides the fast switch over of bands and a few mic technical difficulties, we all had an awesome time playing up there and would most certainly love to play there again sometime! I'm back at my loft now about ready to crash for the night, so I will sign off for now. I'll talk to you soon. God Bless!

September 11th

This morning I had the opportunity to sleep in till 10 a.m., lol. I had most of the day off in Phoenix, before my flight back to Nashville.

I'm back in Nashville now for another busy, but exciting day ahead of me tomorrow. In the morning, I am going to visit Big D and Bubba for a second interview at around 9 a.m. I have also been asked by the Grand Ole Opry to come and perform on the show tomorrow night! I am completely honored and thrilled to be given the opportunity for the 2nd time! Please wish me luck everyone and pray that I do well, thank you.

Before I sign off, I would like to take a moment and say a prayer for all those who lost a loved one 7 years ago this day, and know that I am thinking about you all...

Goodnight and God Bless!

While In Canada....

While In Canada..

On Sunday. we made our way over to the MTS building, where the CCMA awards were being held. All the award presenters, including Jimmy Wayne and I, had a dress rehearsal for the show. Everything flowed smoothly. We went back to the Fairmont (our hotel) after that and had some time to kill. The CCMA presidential gala dinner started at around 6 p.m., so we headed over there for a cocktail party first and then onto the dinner itself. There were a bunch of familiar faces along with some new ones. It was good to get in there and mingle a bit.

On Monday, myself and Barry were met in the Lobby of the Fairmont hotel by Sam from Open Road Universal. He took us to visit two radio stations. After the visits, we had time off before being picked up to go to the show. Our ride came at 4:30 p.m. and we headed over to the MTS building. The driver took us to the loading area backstage and I went and got powdered up for the show and had a bite to eat in the catering area backstage. Jimmy Wayne and I were first on to present Female Artist of the Year. I went up there and had mentioned to the audience that Jimmy was celebrating a 1 song, with Do You Believe Me Now. It was cool to see Dierks Bentley and friend Kellie Pickler there tonight as well. Once the awards were done, everybody moved over to the convention center for the after party. There were fans in there who I was able to chat with and give autographs too. Barry and I stayed for an hour and a half or so and then headed for the hotel. We have an early morning wake up call ahead of us and I am sure it will come all to soon in the morning. I just finished packing my things back up and I'm laying down to hopefully get at least 3 hours of sleep tonight. Talk to you soon and God Bless!

ADAM GREGORY - JOURNAL: SEPTEMBER 5th, 2008

Today I went over and visited KATC in Colorado Springs. Mark, Robin and myself performed live on air. We did a couple of songs including “What It Takes” and “Then She Cried” and the staff really enjoyed them.

We went to Hooters after that for lunch with Wing Nut, Jim and Cooper from the station and we indulged in the hot wings!! The wings are so awesome there!!! Let me rewind just a little and mention that we went to Hooters in style, on the bus!! lol…

After eating at Hooters, we all went back on the bus and Mark, Robin and I broke out the guitars and played our versions of a Coldplay song and a Justin Timberlake song. That was definitely a change of pace for them, but they really seemed to enjoy them. We took them back to the station and I basically had the rest of the day to get my clothes organized and packed for Canada...

Barry, my road manager, and I leave for Winnipeg Canada tomorrow, where I will be attending the Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA's)! I will be presenting an award on Monday’s show, so I'm excited about that! Anyways, I will fill you in with the events that happen tomorrow. Goodnight everyone and God Bless!

ADAM GREGORY - JOURNAL: SEPTEMBER 6th, 2008

This morning Barry and I left Colorado Springs and are now in Winnipeg, Canada for the CCMA Awards that will be broadcast on Monday.

I had kind of a funny moment this morning on our first flight. Anyone that has flown with me would tell you that I am out sleeping for the entire flight, sometimes even before the plane takes off. lol. So, here I was asleep as we were taking off thinking I was going to get a nice little rest in…but no, I was awakened 18 minutes later as we hit ground. I asked Barry what happened, did we have to turn the plane around or something? He said no, we touched down in Denver. I didn't realize that it was only like an 18-minute flight from Colorado Springs to Denver. I knew it was close, but didn’t realize how close…I guess you learn something new everyday, lol.

Now Barry and I are in Winnipeg, Canada and Mary who works with Ron Kitchener picked us up from the airport when we arrived at 1:30 p.m. She helped us get settled into our hotel downtown. We had a little time to kill, so I had a shower and ironed my clothes. We got picked up at 5:30 p.m. to go to a Universal showcase at Cowboys! There were a bunch of artists performing there and I was given the opportunity to sing a song too. All in all, it was a great evening of mingling and meeting new people! I'm back at the hotel now getting ready for bed, because I have dress rehearsal tomorrow for the award show happening Monday. Goodnight and God Bless!

Labor Day Weekend

Tuesday, September 02, 2008

On Friday, I met up with Shelley and Lawrence to go to Z' Tejas to meet up with Christie, the KMLE contest winner and her friend Alex.. We sat and visited while eating some good ole food and sharing stories with each other. After that, we headed back to the hotel to meet up with Larry, the Big Machine Rep. He took Mark and I to KNIX where Ray Massie did an interview with me. He made us feel very welcomed and asked Mark and I to play a few songs. From the radio station, we made a stop at the Guitar Center to pick up guitar strings so we'd have some extras on hand. I returned back to the hotel and rested for a few minutes. We then made our way over to sound check at Graham Central Station for the KMLE class of 08' show. After sound check, we went to dinner with all the artists who were performing at the show along with Gwen Foster, who is the radio DJ for KMLE. We had a ton of food with the appetizers alone. Once the main course came along, I wasn't hungry anymore.. lol.. Some of the artists had to get back to the venue to do meet and greets, so we finished up dinner and left. I went back to the hotel to get ready for the show and then headed back to Graham Central at 10:40 for an 11:00 o'clock meet and greet. Mark and I went on stage at 11:30 and played for a half hour. After that, I called everyone back on stage to do a finale jam session. It was Mark, myself, Lance Miller and One Flew South. We all ended up staying and singing till 2 a.m. and had a great time with the fans!! On Saturday, we had to make our way to the Phoenix airport where we were flying to Kansas City. When we landed in Kansas City, we had to go straight to the venue. Unfortunately, Mark and I missed the sound check. ;) I guess you could say we were cutting it close. I went to catering and had a quick home cooked dinner from Little Richards restaurant, and it was awesome!! I had about an hour and a half after that to rest and get ready for the show. When it was about time to go on, TJ from Q104 met up with us, walked us to the stage and made the introduction of the band and I.. We did a 75 minute set at the Santacaligon Days Festival to a very welcoming crowd. After doing the show and signing autographs, we hopped back on the bus and are now heading to Albuquerque, NM where we will have a couple of shows for radio stations! That's all for now folks, but I'll keep you updated.. God Bless! ag)

I played the Opry!

Tuesday started like any other busy day for me. I had a 5 a.m. wake-up call and was out the door by 6:40 a.m. for satellite radio interviews that went from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., and then again from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. All in all, it was a long day of talking, but I enjoyed sharing conversations with all the different radio DJ's.

After all the interviews, I headed home and got freshened up for our night ahead at the Grand Ole Opry. We headed over to the Opry around 5:30 p.m. on the tour bus. The thought of us going to the Opry was so surreal. Once there, we were assigned dressing room #8 backstage. After having a few minutes to take it all in, Mark, Chad and myself went to rehearse with the house band. They sounded amazing and had our songs down pat.

Around 7 p.m. we made our way to side-stage where I was set to perform at 7:15 p.m. I had this feeling of excitement mixed in with some nerves. When my time came to stand on the famous circle on stage, it was like a rush of adrenaline came over me. I performed three songs in a row -- first one being ‘Crazy Days,’ followed by ‘What It Takes’ and then ending with ‘Down The Road.’

The crowd attendance was more than they had expected for a Tuesday night. Everyone seemed really enthused with the music I shared with them. When I was done, I made my way off stage and was greeted by Little Jimmy Dickens. He looked at me and said "Good job!". I would have to say that this was one of the many highlights of my night. They really weren't kidding when they said he was just 4’11".

After my performance, I stayed for a little while and visited with all my friends. We then headed out on the bus to pick up the rest of the band members from the loft. We now are on our way to Atlanta, Georgia where we'll be doing a show tomorrow for Carl Black Chevrolet.

Oh, by the way, I just got some more exciting news to share with all of you -- 'Crazy Days' landed in at #30 on the US Mediabase chart -- so I'm totally thrilled with that .... Thanks to everyone's hard work, it's continually moving up the charts. Well that's another day in my life -- I hope you all had a great day and evening and I'll talk to you soon. God Bless.

Thank you to all my friends and fans!

Just a Thank You!!

Hey everyone!
Wow, I have been completely overwhelmed going through some of these Happy Birthday messages. I KNOW how grateful I am to have some wonderful friends, fans and family and really can't thank you guys enough.

Also, you all have been amazing supporting not just me personally, but in my career as well. I log on, and ask you guys to do sometimes ridiculous amount of work for me, and some of you who have never even met me, go to GAC and CMT and vote, call your radio stations and request me, go to forums and talk about me (and sometimes defend me!). You have no idea what that means. Now, thanks to you, my single is 1 on the Sounds Canadian Chart, 38 on Bob Kingsley's American Top 40 chart, and my video is 7 on CMT's Chevy Top 20 Chart. I feel beyond blessed, and wouldn't be anywhere near where I am without you guys.

To fans on both sides of the border, THANK YOU!!!! I love you guys and look forward to a long career and relationship with you all!

God bless!

Hey everyone!

Hi there bloggers! My name is Adam Gregory. I'm a singer/songwriter, originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and now I'm living in Nashville.

I've been pretty lucky to spend my entire life (all 22 years of it!) doing what I love the most- music. In Canada, I was signed to Sony Canada when I was about 14. I had a blast opening for guys like Lonestar, playing with Billy Ray Cyrus. It wasn't until a couple years ago though that I really set my sights on the States and ever since I've been back and forth to Nashville, writing with some INCREDIBLE people, performing every chance I can get, and recording my first States CD.

Which pretty much brings me up to now: My single "Crazy Days" is at radio, and doing pretty well, which I am excited about. My video is done, and playing on GAC and CMT, and I am hoping and praying every day that this is just the beginning of a crazy ride!

Anyway, I'd love you guys to get to know me a bit better, take a listen to my music and say hi anytime you want.

Thanks, and I hope to see you around!!

God Bless!
