Adam’s Thanksgiving Week Blog
Sun. Nov. 23
Had a great time in Columbia, SC today. I had the honor of being part of a fundraiser put on by WWNU, which was held at the Ozzies Country Island pub. There were a bunch of us that performed there today, Sara Buxton, Darryl Worley, and the Can You Duet husband and wife trio Joey and Rory and it was just an all round great turnout. After all of us got done singing a table was set up in front of the stage where we all signed autographs for about 200-300 people. We’re staying tonight here in Columbia and then leaving out early in the morning for College Station, TX.

Woke up early this morning in Columbia SC and before driving to Charlotte SC, we made a stop in at the radio station WWNU, where I had an interview with Tyler Ryan. We played a song on air and had a great visit. From there we drove to Charlotte, NC where we hopped on a plane to College Station, Tx. We arrived safe and sound here in College Station earlier today and we had the day off. It was a nice little luxury this morning to be able to sleep in till 10am , we don’t get those chances very often . We left the hotel here in College Station at 11 this morning and headed over to the Cricket store for another instore visit. I think I made a couple more fans there which as an artist is what I’m always shooting for. After our Cricket visit we had a bit of lunch at Jason’s Deli and then from there we made our way to the radio station. I was interviewed by yet another Adam on air and following that he video taped a live acoustic performance of my song “Then She Cried” which they will use on their website and You tube. After the station visit we headed back to the hotel and I don’t have to leave for the venue now until 9:45pm. Tonight our show will be held at Schotzi’s which is said to be one of the many College club hangouts and we go on at 11pm or shortly after. It’s gonna be an intimate setting where Mark and I will play 45 minutes of songs acoustically so it should be a lot of fun! I hope you all have a great evening and God Bless!

The show in College station the other night went well, not a huge crowd but the people that were there seemed to enjoy the show. There was a group of College people gathered in one area near the stage and I went and said my hellos to all of them and signed pictures. Last night the band and I were in Austin ,TX playing at Stubbs again. The last time we were there we were opening up for Gary Allan. The only difference was, this time we played inside the club instead of out and we were less a few thousand people, lol . The band and I have a really good attitude towards everything when we do shows , we play with the same dedication if there are 2,000 people or only 10 people, we are still gonna give it our all and put the same heart behind our shows. We just love to play and we’ve definitely been doing a lot of shows late ly and it’s been an awesome run so far. After the show we hung out and mingled in the club for a little bit and then Barry and I went back to the hotel while the bus went on to Denver. We stayed last night in Austin, Tx and this afternoon we flew out of there at 2 pm to Denver. The bus will meet us in Denver, but we just got word that they are still an hour out because they got caught up in some snow. Happy Thanksgiving to y’all, I hope you had good quality family time and were able to feast out as well. Barry and I made the best out of what we had to work with here in Denver, being that all the restaurants were closed we ended up finding a Burger King that was open. We starting to think that we were g onna go hungry on Thanksgiving and then there it was shining like a diamond in the rough… Burger King! Barry was funny, he said at one point, all that we need now is to resquest a burger with a feather hanging out of it and pretend that we’re having a big turkey dinner haha.. Those f ries tasted extra and I mean extra greasy tonight . The band should hopefully be here soon, they’ve been on the bus all day traveling to get here so I’m sure their gonna be tired. I hope y’all had a great evening and I’m gonna sign off now so goodnight to y’all. God Bless!

Yesterday I woke up at 9 am in Denver and met up with Barry and we headed to Ft. Collins, Co. to make an instore Cricket appearance. It was a nice turnout at the store and some dedicated fans drove a little ways to come and see me which was nice. Letty and her daughter Lindsey and their friend Melanie went above and beyond buying me a get well basket. Yes, I’ve managed to get sick again and not just me but a lot of the band are experiencing sicknesses right now as well. Shelley actually had to fly home because she got really sick and didn’t want to get us all sick as well but we still managed to anyway. We’ve gone through a lot of cold weather changes and I really think it was just a matter of time before we got sick. Need not worry though I’m taking lots of vitamins and drinking plenty of tea water. Last night in Denver we played at the Grizzly Rose, a world renowned club that a lot of artist have played at through the years. We did the show with the Eli Young Band which is out of Texas, and they put on a good show! We left the club just after 2 am on the bus and drove through the night and we are heading to Riverside, California now. It will be good for all of us to get some rest the next few days. We’ve got it down as just travel days so that’s good. Other then that I will update y’all as I go, take care and have a great day. God Bless!ag)

We’re on day two now of our long travel to Riverside, California and we’ve covered a lot of land so far today in beautiful Arizona. It’s one thing traveling in a vehicle but ,when you can travel in a bus and look out and see the scenery all around through the windows of the bus it’s pretty cool! Our bus driver said that we should be arriving in to our destination of Riverside California at around 8 tonight. We’ve just been watching movies on the bus and just got through watching (Step Brothers) with will Ferrell, it was really funny. I hope you’ve all had a great week and weekend and have a great week ahead. God Bless!
