Well, I’ve really been slacking in the old blog department. I must say, in my defense that I have been extremely busy with the Drew & Willy D Acoustic Rock & Soul Duo shows and promotions. We just shot footage for our promotional video and are excited to finally booking in the great state of Ohio…
Northern Kentucky has been great to us thus far and we will continue to play throughout the ENTIRE tri-state area when it can be worked into our schedules.
We were blessed with the opportunity to perform on a HOT new variety show that airs Sunday nights at 11:30pm on FOX19. The program features local interest stories and local and national entertainment. My good friend Tony Clark, a 16 year original member of the multi-platinum award winning pop/rock band Blessid Union of Souls is the music director and contributor in many other areas of production for the show. It was awesome to catch up with you Tony!
Willy D and Friends recently performed at the benefit for legendary guitarist Larry Goshorn (Pure Prairie League) and there was a fantastic crowd at the show in Mt. Lookout at the Redmoor. Thanks for asking me to join you guys on the stage for a number! What an honor! Thank you Willy D!
Having been a member of I LIKE IT for over 6 months now, (I LIKE IT is a Facebook group of music lovers and musicians alike) I have made friends all over the world. I have been performing a song written and performed by my good friend Aaron Burton from Australia and he recorded one of mine on a video and posted it on YouTube. What an honor! Anyway, a few of these friends are pretty creative people and have put together radio broadcasts for hard working musicians like myself who would most likely otherwise NOT get played on a station in a Metropolitan area. Because of this, I have been able to reach NEW fans in Australia, the UK, Germany, Brazil, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Spain and New Zealand! It’s amazing what the internet can be used for in a positive way… To date I’ve been featured a dozen times in as many countries… What an honor…
Looking forward I am counting on more shows with Willy D at better venues than we could EVER imagine playing at…
… oh yeah, hopefully they pay well too…
