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!

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.
