Well here we are with nothing to do this Wednesday.  I must say that these June shows at 12th and Porter were about as much fun as I think I’ve ever had onstage.  Special thanks to the folks there for helping us put it all together.  Each show was really quite different.  I think we only repeated 4 songs through the entire run.  Not bad if I do say so myself.  I saw so many familiar faces.  Folks that we’ve met at shows over the years.  Guys that I grew up playing ball and going to school with that I’d not seen in 15 years.  Parents of friends, old band mates, it was just a really amazing time.  All the guests were really special.  Getting to play with my brother and my dad were obvious thrills for me.  I want to say an extra big thank you to all of those who came to these shows.  Some came for all four, some for just one.  Some traveled great distances others just down the street.  None of this was lost on us.  I truly feel like the luckiest guy in the world.  There was a moment during ‘The Highway’s Home’ on the final night that was really one of my favorite moments ever on stage.  Folks quiet, listening, then singing along as loud as you could.  It meant the world to me and the band.  This time away has taught us all alot.  Musically, personally, etc.  I thank you all for your continued support.  I promise you all we will try now more than ever to deliver YOU GUYS a show that you can all be proud of.  One that we hope inspires you to go back to your work or school and spread the word.  A show that will inspire us to be better each night.  We’re all really excited.
Make sure you’re checking out www.heartbreakavenue.com.  It’s a message board that will allow all you guys to stay in direct contact with one another, talk about shows, trade recordings, etc.  Thanks to them for coming to all these shows and keeping that forum open.  Hell, we may even stop in and visit from time to time.
The new album art work is pretty much finished.  The vinyl will be available first followed shortly after by the CD.  Sorry, no cassettes.  Damn the luck.  Anyhow, there will be more about all this coming soon.
I do want to let you know that ‘Even If It Breaks Your Heart’ will be the first single.  For those of you in Birmingham, be listening to Live 100.5 as Dave Rossi and his crew will be giving you a first and very early chance to hear it.  Starting…..oh…about 1 hour ago.  haha.  I hope y’all will enjoy it.
I guess that’s it for now.  Gonna sort of lay low for the 4th.  I’ll let y’all know more details about all the album stuff in the next bit.  Spread the word and we’ll hope to see you soon.

Now For Something...
 
...completely different. Check out the live performance (and unique version) of 'Not That Cool' on YouTube by Twisted Measure, the a cappella singing group from Elon University in North Carolina.
Vinyl LP Available
 
Draw The Curtains is now available on 180 gram high performance vinyl. Order LPs directly from the Store (signed by Will on request). Also available at live shows and record stores. Vinyl makes a difference – it just sounds better.
