08/01/11


This week’s blog is coming to you from Orlando. I’m on vacation, but I can’t ‘not work.’ So, if you’re a regular Monday reader, this one’s for you! :-)

Thanks to all that made it out to the show at the Knickerbocker on Friday night! Tim Brouk at the Journal & Courier did a nice write-up: http://www.jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011107290306

The print version of the article had the headline of ‘June in July.’ Too funny!

It was great to show off some new material and whip out a couple of covers. 

Here’s the set:
Out of our Hands
Dear Reason
Before it gets to me
Pocket & Soul
Settling
Faithfully  ( Journey Cover)
Bed Intruder  (Autotune the News cover)

I still have to sift through some footage of the set. If there are some gems, I’ll have them on my YouTube channel in a week or so.

I’m glad I had the opportunity to share the night with Colorphase and Sleeping in Stereo. Both are great bands populated with great people. Don’t be strangers!

Good news: Bassist Drew Luigs is joining Chris Parker and me for the live line-up of Chris June IND. Drew previously played with local rockers Painkiller Down and is known to pace around IND HQ playing Victor Wooten licks.  The 3 of us are going to do some cool things to my tunes & make them loud. I’m pretty lucky to be teaming up with these dudes!

Update: The Chris June IND logo shirts have been ordered! As mentioned last week, the shirts will have my logo on the front and my sponsors’ on the back. I anticipate having the shirts back before the next show (August 13th in Watseka, IL with Rockerbox). More details on this event are located on the Shows Page and/or the Facebook Event.

Also, the Sponsors Page is now live on the site!

This concludes the IND weekly update. Thanks for stopping by!

Over and out.
