I was recently contacted by a very new organization called Cowgirls Git r dun. They are big supporters and advocates for helping homeless veterans and breast cancer survivors. After a few conversations, it became clear they were taking on a massive challenge.

Using the strength of our American motorcycle enthusiasts, they are hoping to raise $3 million in September and October by taking a caravan of folks across the country. Beginning in Florida and traveling up to Seattle and back down to Florida. They believe they can attract well over 600,000 riders, making not only history but setting a World…

4th of July was filled with magic again. I had the pleasure of celebrating it with my close friends, which, in my mind, is always the best way to celebrate a holiday. This past week has been an interesting one.

As many of you know, we are trying to raise a bit of cash for our friends at the USO and at the Fisher House. Our friends at Dympol, put together a very cool application which sends money directly to the cause of your choice.

I am proud to be a part of it and in talking…

It was a really race to the finish this past week. Not only did I have my volleyball playoffs (which I, unfortunately did not make past the 2nd round), but I had a late night talk on Friday night with the famous Jim Bohannon. I found out from my father, that I had finally ‘made it’ since it was actually a show he listens to since Jim's show is on 500 stations across the country.

We will post the interview on our podcast page this week.

Then, we ran up to Philly for CBS’s Talk Philly Show. A few highlights…

Our poor venue had to shut their doors for a week…so with our lips pouched out; the band took a Saturday night off. Wow, this is a first in a long time. Met some great new friends in the city and walked until the feet just hurt.

The music business is definitely a tough one. Like this past weekend, if a venue or a festival is shut down by weather, permit issues or other issues beyond their control, the bands are pretty much out of luck. Sure, we play out because we love what we do, but we also are…

The hard thing about touring, well, travel in general, is the eating part. Sure you find all these great places to eat…but none of them are on your diet. To top it off, the whole exercise routine becomes a bit more challenging. This past weekend, we had a great time in sunny California, but I am afraid I will need to do a bit of diet work and full on workouts to be ready for New York this weekend.

I know many of you are thinking – it’s just one weekend, but boy, did I eat. First there was the…

I have thinking a lot about the social networking scene lately. There are so many websites wanting members, and content. I seem to get approached on a daily basis by a new music site, but perhaps the funniest is to listen or read people talk about their primary social networking site.

The complaints I have heard are baffling. Like ‘how someone posted on their wall’ ‘how could someone do that’? Or the best one I saw was ‘if you post on my wall for your own marketing purposes, I will delete you as a friend.’ The irony about a comment…

From all of us in the Side FX band, Happy Memorial Day! God bless our Veterans for all that you do. We had such an amazing week – and it because of our Armed Forces that we are able to enjoy what opportunities are presented to us.

This past week, we went back to New York and recorded at Cove City Sound Studios our latest track for the new album ‘The Blond Side.’ Given the dramatic storms that have taken so many lives, it is amazing how relevant this song is.

We initially wrote the song right after March 11,…

This past weekend in New York was filled with the most beautiful women. At the National Underground on Saturday night, 85% of those in the audience, were women. I am not sure if NYC has now become this May's destination for a girls weekend, but it certainly felt like it. And the sun was shining brightly on all.

Saturday skies were bright blue with 70-degree winds. Just perfect. As I meandered around Central Park and watched local musicians performing on the side, dogs walking their owners, and sports enthusiasts running the trails, it became clear to me how much people…

Boy, did I need sleep. I am so not used to waking up at 4 AM. After two mornings of 4 AM and going all day, I crashed hard. Now, with 8 hours of sleep, I am ready for the week. KQID Q93 in Louisiana was the best. (would say the bestest if that were a word!)

Matt and Fuzzy treated us very well – nice rock star treatment from the moment we stepped off the flight. The crowd was so nice and it, surprisingly, turned super cold. It was not a typical 90 degree day for Alexandria. People who…

There is something about putting rice, veggies and seafood together with just the right amount of heat that is so satisfying. As we begin rehearsing this week for our concert in Louisiana, it seemed appropriate to get our culinary senses in line with the trip.

After doing a bit of research, it appears that Gumbo may actually have originated in Louisiana. There seems to be some controversy over whether or not it was a Cajun or Creole dish in its origin, but C.C. Robin (a French explorer) mentions the dish in 1803. Now, the French would like to claim the…
