Happy Easter and Happy Hockey Playoffs! 
We are somewhere between Lancaster, PA and West Haven, CT listening to the Flyers vs Sabres Hockey game.
This time of year is always great because we’re getting to catch what we can of Hockey playoffs, and we get to attend the Launch Music Conference in Lancaster every year. It is one of my favorite music conferences to go to, and Lancaster County is one of the coolest places in the country. I have to say we are heading to Connecticut feeling refreshed after a ripping show last night at Lizard Lounge, and a great breakfast made by our friend Kyle this morning.
We had a scare being surrounded by a few tornados down in North Carolina last week while driving from Fayetteville to Raleigh. They touched down all around us and we saw the unfortunate aftermath, but I’m thankful the band and the van, our Tennessee Tanya, are all safe and sound.
Big news this month of course was the announcement of the Val Halla show on May 21st which will be at Centennial Terrace in Sylvania, OH (just outside of Toledo). The icing on the cake for this show is that we are opening the show for recent Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee ALICE COOPER.
THIS IS A HUGE SHOW to us. Getting to work with the greats who have come before you is a chance to honor your rock n roll heroes. I never thought when I was 11 years old watching Wayne’s World and seeing Alice Cooper stand in front of Wayne and Garth as they bowed “We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!” that one day, I too, may have to declare my unworthiness before Alice! J
We’re also still trying to organize for our fundraising push for The Bad Girl Touch music video. We will not be able to do it the weekend of May 20th in L.A. now because that is when we will be in Ohio opening for Alice Cooper. So the video has been delayed only for a short time. We will be selling off a couple of my guitars… and Acoustic Epiphone and a Fender Telecaster, both of which were featured in promo photos for the Bad Girl Touch tour. I will let you know when we have more on this, as I’m not sure right now where the website will be to donate, donate for rewards (tshirts cds etc), or donate for a guitar.
Stay tuned!!!
We have plenty of shows left on the tour, so please check the schedule to see when we are coming near you!
Happy Easter and stay safe and well! Go Canucks Go! Go Predators Go!
