That's right friends and fans, going to SXSW this year to record and rock a ton of shows with Ruby James and also feature a rare U.S. performance of songs by The Last Dancers. I have posted all of the dates with all of the important details on my Upcoming Shows page so please click the link to view them. Be sure to scroll forward to March as the festival is the weekend of March 17th. Really looking forward to playing all of these songs I have written for Ruby in Austin with the incredible players out there as well as performing The Last Dancers material. Every time you play with new people you get a new interpretation of the music. Always enriching whether you pull it off or not! :) The Last Dancers set will be at Maria's Taco Express on the 17th of March (time slot TBD) but it is looking like 1:30pm right now -that's afternoon folks! So get some mexican food and an ice cold beer and kick the weekend off right. Ready to seriously throw down so I hope you can be there on time. To get updated as to the exact time follow me on Twitter as I will be posting any important updates there as the weekend wiggles and shakes. See you in Texas! -AM

Welcome to LA
At the end of the Summer, I will be coming up on two years in Los Angeles. I have done quite a bit of work in the last 18 months especially when it comes to live performance. LA is a tough nut to crack and I wouldn't have been able to do it at all without the kind introductions of Lynda Kay Parker. Her album Dream My Darling is an absolute masterpiece with classic after classic song, a real album. I won't go on too long here but not only is Lynda one of the greatest American song writers I've had the good fortune to know, she is a first class person. Smart, funny as all hell and a true performer. Through her generosity I have met some of the greatest musicians I have ever known who continue to be so supportive and encouraging. John Mcduffie, Christopher Allis, Jason Chesney with his killer band Old Californio, Jeff Legore from The Psychedelic Cowboys and so many more great folks out at the live shows at The Echo opening for The Blasters and Southern Culture On The Skids. It was a great year and boy I'm gonna miss playing that Gretsch! Thank you Lynda Kay!
