Back On The Road

Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 3:38 PM By: Martina

Hey everybody!

Just checking in from the road. We kicked off the second leg of our Shine All Night tour in Little Rock last night. So much fun! All of us were so ready and excited to do a show after our break. Great crowd. We are Independence, MO now...I'm in the dressing room getting ready to do soundcheck.

Wanted to introduce you to our new band member. Jen went to play with Reba as Reba's touring schedule allowed her to have more time back in Nashville with her family and so it just worked out best for her. Not to mention she has a history with Reba and, well, it IS Reba! I'd sing back up for Reba too if I could! :) We will miss her but wish her the best and I am all for doing what's best for your family!

Our new fiddle/mando/acoustic/percussion/background singer is Jenee Fleenor and we are thrilled to have her. She spent some time playing with Terri Clark and is really talented and really sweet. We will try and do a little profile on her on the website soon so you can all get to know her a bit. Welcome Jenee!

Well, I better get out to soundcheck. I hear the band playing. Thanks to everyone who comes out and sees the show. I know times are hard and it means a lot that you spend your time and money to come spend some time with us.

Take care,
Martina

    I have to say wrong baby wrong is one of the best sounding pieces of music i have ever heard. I have forwarded it to over 100 of friends and they all love it. I have to say that a tear comes to my eye when I watch the video to see the friendship of people helping each other and enjoying life. thanks for the great song and your voice and smile is the best.

    I really enjoyed the concert Jan. 31 in Fairfax VA. I know you welcomed Jenee, as a new member to your band. She is awesome, great fiddle, adds so much, plus I noticed she played some background acoustic guitar as well. Your band is great. Marty Shiff is a great guitarist and your lead guitarist is incredible. I admired some of his axes. Great night, will be a lifetime of memories. You are the BEST!

    My wife is turning 50 on March 12 and is a huge fan. As a surprise, I am taking her to the concert. Since we live in P-Burg,WV, she won't know what's going on until we arrive in Richmond. While I am sure you get these request a lot, would it be possible for you to wish her a Happy Birthday? Would be a huge surprise and would make her next 50 years, with me, even more special.

    Martina,
    I saw your show in Bossier City - it was the best ever! I brought a friend with me and she now is a Martina fan. Thanks for singing your heart out. Please tell Trace how much he has been in our thoughts and prayers - I can't believe they performed after the day they had. Now, what do we do to get you nominated for Entertainer of the Year?
