Cheers to those of you enjoying your 'Labor Day' day off! Double cheers to you if you're still busting it today or know that you'll be doing at least 25% more for the rest of the week to make up for the vacation day!! Further, kudos to my great, hard-working Sponsors at Artisan Electric, DropYa Fightwear, ISPhotographic, Lafayette Speaker Repair, People's Brewing Co, Rhodes Amplification, Sacred Apple, Sound Logic, and Willow Stained Glass! Enjoy 9/5!
I managed to squeeze in a few breaks last week to get out; shaking hands & kissing babies. :-)
My good friend Alex from the Green Room Rockers has been putting on shows at Sgt. Preston's in Downtown Lafayette on Monday nights. Kyle Bledsoe (KB3) jammed last week with the Green Room Rockers doing an unplugged opening set. The show was great and I had a blast hanging out with Bitsy, Brady, 50, and the ADG crew. Here's the event page for tonight's show. It's hard to beat a free show with cheap drinks on a Monday night! Maybe I'll see you down there...
Speaking of my friend Brady... he's been running the Lafayette Live Open Mic shows at the Lafayette Theater on Wednesday nights and I made it down last week to remind some folks to get their press kits in for next year's Taste of Tippecanoe. Plus, I caught sets from Arch Drive Goodbye & Hillary Tribbett and was entertained by a few newbies too. Honestly, there is something in the water in Lafayette that makes for sweet musical talent.
While I'm on the topic of awesome local talent, The Mound Builders are doing their CD release show this month. If you dig mean, downtuned rock & roll, I hope to see you down at Jerilee's for this. To clarify, I'm not just plugging this because they were cool enough to include me in the 'Thanks Credits' on their CD! :-) They're good friends and a great band!
Now, it may seem that I spent my whole week being out & about, but the "Shaking Hands & Kissing Babies" routine probably took up 1% of my week. The Chris June IND lull is almost over and the hours that I've spent writing, recording, & editing are about to be shaped into a listenable product.
As mentioned last week, Grant Mohrman at Method House Studios will be mixing the new EP & tomorrow is D-Day for shipping the song sessions to Detroit to get the process started. I'm excited to hear what G-Wiz is going do to the tracks and can't wait to share it with everyone!
New tunes, videos, & shows are on the way! No promises, but I might have a teaser for everyone next week. Since it's not likely to happen by blog day, make sure you 'like' my Facebook Fan Page to get the low down.
If nothing else, I'll have the tracklist & artwork on display next time.
Thanks for stopping by again this week!
Before I forget, thanks to my Whiskey Run family for another great event!!
Over and out.
This is the source for the inside scoop on Chris June IND; including writing, recording, performing, etc. You'll get more dirt here than tweets & status updates. Typically, new blog entries get posted every Monday and whenever something too interesting to not write about happens. I’ll try to keep my entries short-winded and light-hearted. Maybe I can make them funny. We’ll see.
