It has been another productive week! Ready for the lowdown? Here we go!!

Thanks to Bitsy Matatall and Shea Hack at the WBAA Local Music Show for having me in the studio last week. We chatted about the past, present, & future of Chris June IND and had a lot of laughs. Also, I performed acoustic versions of "Out of Our Hands" and "Before it Gets to Me." These will be played on their Podcast along with "Settling," "Dear Reason," and the interview. If you 'like' the Chris June IND Fan Page on Facebook, you'll get the update when it goes live on their page.

Speaking of the Fan Page,  I've been getting some 'likes' from fans of Arch Drive Goodbye recently. I appreciate the referrals, dudes! I have been digging on their song "Autumn Reigns" quite a bit. Luckily, they had a few drinks one night & agreed to let me cover it. I'm sneaky like that. :-)

Moving on...

Rockerbox gave me the opportunity to open for them at their show at Traditions in Watseka, IL over the weekend. I played a mixed set of my new original tunes and some of my favorite songs by others. Here's the set:

"Pocket and Soul"

"Epiphany" (Staind)

"Before it Gets to Me"

"Long Day" (Matchbox 20)

"Settling"

"Out of Our Hands"

"Gone Away" (Cold)

"Faithfully" (Journey)

"Zzyzx Rd" (Stone Sour)

"Dear Reason"

I had a blast jamming, meeting the locals, and hanging out with Guy, Jon, & Devin from Rockerbox and Mary, the owner of Traditions. I'm anxious to do more shows with those dudes and I'm super super excited about taking my band to Watseka in the future!  

I should also mention how psyched I was to get to rock one of my cool new DropYa Fightwear shirts at the show. Thanks Shawn!

In other 'shows' news, I'm on board to play the Family Day to Support the Home with Hope at the Tippecanoe Co. Amphitheater on September 25th. Home with Hope is an organization that provides a pathway to recovery for alcoholics and drug addicts. It's going to be awesome joining forces with The Clutter, Snorb!, DJ Powder, and others to support a great cause! I'll update the Shows Page as more info comes in...

This concludes the weekly update. Next Monday I'll have more scoop on the new IND CD and what the band is up to.

I'm off to Sacred Apple to get some more ink done by *my main man* Eddie.
