Lynam, Labor Day, and the Tiny Human

I saw Lynam this past Friday and I couldn’t have been happier. It had been about six months since my last show. They were awesome, as always, and after the show David let me listen to three songs–the final mixes–from the upcoming album, Bombshell. I am now even more excited for October than I already was.

Moving on…

My Labor Day was great, to be honest. I got to spend it with almost all of my favorite people: my brother Rick, my BFF Tiffany, her husband Jerimy, and my adorable niece Ivy. We had a cookout and Rick made grilled chicken that had been marinated in 151, lime, and sriracha sauce, as well as hamburgers, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, etc. The best part of the night had to be dancing around the living room with the tiny human…or watching her amusement when all of the adults started playing on an exercise ball. Lol.

Ivy gave us those ducks so that we could dance with them ❤

Hope everyone else had a great holiday weekend!

More New Music!!!!!!!

I was hit with all kinds of good news last week. Almost Kings will be releasing their new album, The Re-Introduction, in mid-September. Then, one of my friends sent me this:

Bombshell

I’ve been eagerly awaiting more stuff from Lynam since listening to a few songs that David had on his phone back in, like, December or something. Needless to say, I am very very excited about the next two months!

Oh, and here’s the latest video from Almost Kings. The track is titled “Still Fucked Up.”

New Music from Almost Kings!

A few months ago, Almost Kings bassist Danny Helms let me listen to “Never Gonna Happen” on his phone. My interest was piqued immediately because it’s them but…different. It made me very excited for the upcoming album (and I will undoubtedly be posting a review the instant it hits my hands).

They have now released a video for the song. Please check it out and give them some feedback!

This Made My Heart Happy

So yeah, this is a bit random, but I totally just had a moment when I checked my email. I posted the pictures of me with Mark Tremonti and Eric Friedman to Twitter…and both men replied to my tweets!!!!!

I know Mark is actually responsible for his own account, and I figure Eric is too, which makes this even better, of course.

Just wanted to share my happiness with y’all. 🙂 I hope if you’re reading this that you are having an equally wonderful day!

Song of the Week: “Another Heart”

How could I not make this the song of the week when I’m going to see Tremonti in three days???? Guys, I am dying over here while counting down the moments to this show. I have seen Alter Bridge twice, which is great, but I totally adore Tremonti’s solo work. Plus, he’s opening for Black Stone Cherry. Definitely a win-win.

Tremonti — “Another Heart,” from the album Cauterize (2015).
