Book Recommendation

Winter time is always a time for reading for me and I’d like to recommend a book I recently read. It’s a very interesting and wide-ranging account of the country music industry, not in a dry, boring way but in a very engaging, clear way. The author pulls in a little bit of politics, a Read More

Carrie review

What a fun review from the St Petersburg Times. I have this theory about Carrie Underwood, the Oklahoma-born Barbie who won American Idol a few years back. Beneath the perfect blond locks and sleeping-beauty smile there lurks a rogue rock chick dying to claw out. Don’t believe me? Her show setlists and iPod playlist are Read More

Sugarland – Love on the Inside

Sugarland – Love on the Inside (Mercury Nashville, 2008) Never judge a book by its cover, or an album by its first single. Everyone seems to have a strong opinion on the current single “All I Want To Do”, either very much for or very much against, but I think most would agree the album Read More

In my own words to Seven after the show: “ May I just say – WOW!”. Having spent most of the day in various Starbucks stores had me plenty caffeinated for the second of last week’s gigs. As I still had some work to sort out, I went a little earlier and in my hyperactive Read More

As I had arranged a radio interview for Dierks I had to be there early and I saw most of the soundcheck, which really is kind of a boring process. I remember doing them myself and it is almost something you have to endure before the fun starts. :) They played one song in full, Read More

The last show of the tour…….. While three shows in three days is exhausting especially when you include all the travelling, it’s amazing how that fatigue doesn’t even register once the music starts. Even after the out-of-this-world performance on Friday in Atlanta, this show was always going to be special. The atmosphere in the arena Read More

With some delay….After the night before, everyone was hoping for a better show. What we got was the BEST show!! The technical problems from last night had been taken care of and already during ‘Once In A Lifetime’ was it clear this was going to be a very different performance. Keith was flying over the Read More

Well, I don’t know where to start really. A lot of things went wrong last night, the boss was clearly not happy but we all had a fantastic time anyway. Only at a KU show… Earlier in the day Brian came to say hello to us at the hotel, it was great catching up with Read More
