We have been invited to play at the Back To Blues Fest for the
third year in a row. This is always a fun time and a great
venue. We are looking forward to playing and seeing our old
friends.
We always look forward to hearing Danny Brooks who will
be playing again this year.
The dates of the fest are July 25th, 26th and 27th.

Today I received my Trimmed and Burnin'
Johnny Mannion Signature Model Belly Boy Tele.
This guitar is incredible. Shannon Coberly of Trimmed and
Burnin' and I have been collaborating on this guitar for over
a year.
Shannon made sure the guitar was exactly what I wanted.
From the wood used, the pickups, the finish, color and neck...
Everything is exactly what I wanted.
I am excited about this guitar and can't wait to get it out in a
live situation.
I am honored and excited to be a part of the
Trimmed and Burnin' family.
Thank you Shannon for building this beautiful guitar and for
all the support and love you have shown for not only your art
but also for my music and our friendship!

I have received a great honor today. I was contacted by the Blues
Hall Of Fame and informed that I have been named an
Ambassador at Large.
I was inducted into the BHOF as an unsigned local blues musician
back in 2003 as a  member of Sweet Blue Onion.
On October 6, 2006 I was inducted as a solo artist.
This is a great honor for me. I would like to humbly thank the
Chairman Of The Board of the Blues Hall Of Fame, Mr. Dan Marolt
for bestowing this honor upon me.
