Music is the best way I know how to communicate. It's my purest form of expression. I've sung on all kinds of stages, in every possible capacity, but to me there is nothing more thrilling than fronting a killer hot band as it plays to a packed room. I'm getting the opportunity to do just that at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on Monday, December 20th, at 9:30pm. It will be a perfect storm where the Dixie Chicks, Tower of Power, and Guns N' Roses meet...me. The arrangements will be all new, as will a couple of the songs themselves, and my band is truly the kickingest thing around, complete with 3 back-up singers.
However, the arrangements and the kicking don't happen on their own, and here is where all of you come in. Every cent you donate goes toward paying the musicians and the arrangers, as well as covering the cost of publicity. Any additional funds that we raise will go toward the recording of a CD and all of the bells and whistles that entails.
Two Important Pieces of Info You Should Know about RocketHub:
1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's all or nothing: if I don't reach my financial goal, you get your money back.
Thank you for any help you are willing to offer. Now, get ready to rock and/or roll.
