I recently had the honor of recording back-up vocals with singer/songwriter/musician Eddie Appnel,  formerly of Mere Mortals, on “Fallen”, a heartfelt song written by Tony Olean, bass player/vocalist from  K2O.  As Tony explained it to me, “Years ago I wrote a song about my uncle and his experiences in Vietnam. It always intrigued me because he never spoke of them. We heard from a family freind who was also there and found out how much my uncle had actually been through. The day he was wounded, he was the only surviving member of his platoon. That means every friend he had, he saw die. How do you compehend that? ”  Tony further told me, “I didn’t like the song I wrote, then in December 2009, Jim Kindler (guitarist/vocalist of K2O) and I were playing with a chord progression and the same feeling struck me. One Saturday afternoon I wrote the lyrics, but this time it was the overall sacrifice of all who have served. I can speak for the band when I say this is something we feel very strongly about.”  

I’m really psyched about opening for Sawyer Brown next Sunday, September 6th! Sawyer Brown are amazing in concert and I’m thrilled to share the stage with them! I would like to thank Corey Susz, Promoter and the Kiwanis Wyoming County Fair for having me back again. This will be my 3rd time opening for a national act at the Wyoming County Fair (Jason Alden in 2006, Lorrie Morgan in 2007 and now Sawyer Brown in 2009). This year will be very special for me because I”ll be singing all the songs from my debut CD, Here I Am, which I recorded in Nashville with Lorrie Morgan’s producer, Mark Oliverius. I’m especially excited to share the song I wrote for my sister, Cathy, “8 Years of Life” with the crowd. Special thanks to my family, friends and all the fans who have and continue to support me and my music!! God Bless you all!!
