Hey everyone, I hope that you’re all keeping well. I’m just sitting here thinking of everything I’ve done in the last little while and everything yet to come, and it’s exciting times! As you all know CMA week has passed now, what a great week it was! I became busier as the week progressed, having first hosted the “Aristo Summer Show” on the 7th, and then doing the “ Countriest of Country” show on the 8th of June.. I helped out with “Make A Wish” one day, standing in for my friend Matt Farris. I took this little 11 year old girl around to the different booths in the convention center along with her mom and dad, because it was one of her dreams being made true to meet all the artists.. I’m glad I had the opportunity to help out with that. On the 11th of June, myself and Amber Hayes entertained the Girl Scouts Of America at AristoMedia. Needless to say, it was an early morning, the girl scouts looked a little tired and I’m sure I did as well lol, but over all, it was a great experience and everyone left with a smile. :) Through CMA week, my wife, myself and our friend from Arizona attended the late night LP Field shows. These shows to me are a huge highlight, because not only do they feature some incredible entertainers, but to be in the audience witnessing the volume of people and the volume of screaming, just caps it off for me and reassures me that this is what I want to work towards. I would love for my band and I to play that big stage someday!! Once CMA week wrapped up, I had a few days off and then I wrote with Keith Follese and his wife Adrienne Follese on the 16th. We wrote a cool uptempo song called “ Cabin Fever”, but still have to get it demoed up good though.. As you all know from my passed tweets, I was in Dallas the weekend of the 18th for my wife’s 10 year anniversary with Southwest. Pretty cool time that was! There were like 4,000-5,000 people in attendance, along with a catered dinner, which was awesome! Like with any big event though, they sectioned out a period of the evening to give awards away, well they gave a lot away that evening.. My wife was there for her 10 year anniversary, but there were some of the original Flight Attendants in the audience who have been with Southwest for 40 years, now that’s a long time! Another feature I thought was kinda cool, and took you through time from the beginning to present, was when we were walking into the huge ballroom area. Lined up along both sides of the walkway, were flight attendants wearing the different flight attendant uniforms over the years.. It just kind of put you in the moment which was neat.. Now I’m looking ahead, and I’m so excited for the fact that I will be recording the beginning of July!! I’ll keep you all posted as things progress.. Thank you all for staying so supportive and dedicated and I really can’t wait to get some new music out and see you all out on the road again! Stay in touch!
God Bless!

Update!
Hi everyone. . . I know a little time has past now, but I wanted to thank you all for your messages of sympathy towards the recent passing of my cousin Bradley. Although we will miss Brad so much and nothing can ever replace him, we've been comforted somewhat in knowing that he is with his Dad now. On a happier note, the band and I just did two outdoor shows at the Sunshine Village Ski resort in Banff Alberta, Canada. It was an awesome experience being able to take the 20 minute gondola ride up the mountain to get to the stage where we played both shows. First show was awesome, weather was great, sun was shining, people skiing in the distance, and then stopping for a break to come watch our show! The second show was awesome as well, quite a bit of snow fall, but man was that beautiful to see the snow fall while being however many thousands of feet up on the mountain. I'm looking forward to the acoustic show I'm doing in Jacksonville Florida coming up August 6th, I know that it still may be too far for some of you to attend, but hey, it would give you a good excuse to go to Florida... right? ;). Before that show though, and if any of you are in the Nashville area, I'll be part of a show put on by my friend Billy Yates called the " Countriest of the Country Show"! That show will be on June 8th. I'm getting closer to the stage of recording again!! Ive done a couple demo's recently, but nothing quite compares to the excitement of recording my own projects, so I'm looking forward to starting into that again! Anyhow, thank you all for your continued messages on Facebook and twitter, and please forgive me if it takes me awhile to get back to you at times, these fingers of mine can only type so fast! Lol . I hope you all have a great rest of the week, and I'll be updating you all as more stuff comes up.
Best Wishes

New Web Site!
Hey everyone, I would just like to personally welcome you all to my new site.. It was down for a little while to get out a few kinks, and to reface it a little bit, but now it's back thanks to the hard work of my friends and team at Aristo Media. I appreciate all of you, and the support that I get from you all, it never ceases to amaze me.. Just to fill you all in on my life as of late, as far as the music goes, I am still working hard at it and will continue to.. I'm writing whenever I can, in fact I'm writing with Victoria Shaw on the 27th! Some great songs have been coming out of these writing sessions, which I'm very excited about.. I know at times it seems like forever and a day since I've had new material out, but rest assured there is a game plan, some truly great songs and a whole lot of dedication and passion dedicated to this dream of mine that WILL never stop. It's hard to believe sometimes looking back at how long I've been at this now, I had my first hit song "Horseshoes" in 2000.. Ever since then it has been an amazing journey... A journey that I can't wait to continue. I know you've all heard the recent news of my marriage... We are both very happy and content and really do appreciate all of your congratulatory messages.. they mean a lot:) I can not wait to see you all out on the road again, and will be working on recording new songs in the very near future. It takes time to write the best songs and find the best songs, it's something that shouldn't be rushed, because it needs to fit and feel right. I want to provide you all with another project that I am whole heartedly proud of, that's my goal and always has been as well as everyone who has dedicated their time, and efforts to this project! Anyways, I love getting your messages and tweets. Please do continue sending them, and stop by and see the new site www.adamgregory.com if you haven't already. Tour dates will be posted as they come in. There are some to be added, which will be added shortly for you all to view. Thanks again everyone for the years of support and here's looking into the future, a future full of endless possibilities for all of us. God Bless you all

2/16/2011: Writing & Benefits!
Hey Everyone,
I've really enjoyed being able to read and respond to your messages on my Facebook and twitter. Thanks for the continued support! So in saying that, I've realized that I haven't written a journal in quite awhile. Life's been pretty good, I can't complain. Been able to write a lot lately and record some demos which has been awesome. Just recently, I recorded a really good demo with Victoria Shaw of a song she and I wrote together. When I heard the finished demo for the first time, I was like, “Wow, did I do that?!?” Lol, as Steve Urkel would have said haha. It turned out real well, I'm very happy with it! You've probably noticed that I have some shows coming up between now and the end of March that I'm pumped to do! Unfortunately a few of the shows though, I wish could be under somewhat different circumstances. I say that because they are shows dedicated to people battling cancer right now. I think it's absolutely awesome that people can come together and do a benefit, open up their hearts and raise money for these angels and bring awareness. The sad part I'm getting at is, that those people are suffering and fighting for their lives day in and day out. It's hard to see them go through what they're going through. I wish their pain could go away and they could get back to living the lives they once had. For me, it really puts into perspective how lucky I am. I was just talking to my mom and dad the other day about this very topic, and how we often take things in life for granted and spend a lot of time stressing over the small stuff of everyday, when in the end it means nothing. If I were one to go through life always hung up and stressing over something, well then I'd be missing the importance of life, and the blessing that it is. Clinton, Savannah, Denise, Grandma and whomever else is out there fighting these terrible illnesses, my heart, my prayers and my thoughts go out to all of you, hang in there. Please if you haven't done so already refer to my website, Facebook or wherever else regarding my upcoming appearances, and would love to see you at the shows. Thanks so much everyone, and hope I haven't talked your ears off too much, just was pouring my heart out a little bit. Have a good, safe night and stay warm.
God Bless!
