Hey everybody, On the bus on the way home. Just finished our show in Red Wing, MN. I know I said last week that West Palm Beach was our last show and it was, officially, the last show of our TOUR. But we did a show tonight at Treasure Island Casino in Red Wing and it our last show of the year. What an amazing crowd! You never know what to expect at a casino. Sometimes there are a lot of...

Hey everybody, Back home in Nashville after finishing up our Waking Up Laughing tour in West Palm Beach last night. What a fun weekend! Tampa was a blast on Friday night! Such a GREAT crowd. After the show we all went to Splitsville for our End Of Tour party. It's a really cool place that has bowling, billiards, and great music. We had a few toasts. The Warren Brothers, Jack Ingram, and...

Hey everybody, I'm on the bus on my way home from Virginia. We had two shows this weekend... Pittsburgh and Virginia. Both were really fun! It's so cool to look out and see so many smiling faces and happy people. I love it. Tonight there was a Marine and his wife there. He was in full uniform and he asked me to sign his hat so I did. They stood for the entire concert and then had to...

Hey everybody, We are on the bus on the way home from Philadelphia. Did a show tonight.... fun show. We played Hartford, CT last night and had a good time there too. The weather was perfect in both places. Just a bit of a nip in the air... made me realize how much I love Fall. Great weather, football, cozy clothes, hot chocolate, soup! It's my favorite time of year. Today I was...

Hey everybody, What an exciting day! I sang the National Anthem at the Titans/Jacksonville game. It was the first game of the season and I'm happy to say our Titans won! (Sorry Jaguar fans). We went this morning and did the run-through at 9:30 and then went back around 11. John and the kids were with me and it was very exciting to stand on the sidelines and get to see the Titans warm up...

Hey everybody! I had such a thrill tonight that I just had to write about it. I got to sing with Connie Smith! I asked a few days ago if she would be willing to come on and sing "Once A Day" with me when I did the Opry and she said yes. So we had a rehearsal today and it was amazing. Just standing there beside her hearing that VOICE! And then tonight came and I was so nervous. I just...

Hey everyone, I am home, sitting at my kitchen table, having some coffee. I just got back from taking the girls to school. I let John and Ava sleep in today so the house is quiet. Nice. We have been trying to get back to some kind of normal hours after being on tour. We have all been getting up, taking the girls to school, having some breakfast and then going to work at the studio. It's a...

Hey everyone, We are in the air somewhere over Oklahoma. We are on a VERY NICE private plane and we are all enjoying it very much! I could get used to this.... if I wasn't such a nervous flier! We finished up the West Coast part of our run last night in Orange County. We had a blast at the show. Had some friends and family out to spend the day with us. My friends Angela and Stacy came...

Hey everybody, We are in Kelseyville, CA. I'm sitting on the bus, just having my morning coffee and watching Ava eat oatmeal. Just wanted to say our last 2 shows have been amazing! The audiences have been so excited and LOUD! Thanks to any of you who came out to the shows in Concord and Sacramento. I wish you could know what it feels like to stand on that stage and feel what you all give...

Hey everybody! We are in Concord, CA today...we have a show here tonight. We had 4 days off and spent them in San Francisco. It is chilly there! I didn't realize that, so one of the first things we did was get sweatshirts or jackets! We had a great time. Had a delicious meal at Brandy Ho's, one of our favorite places to eat in San Fran. I got the General's Chicken, extra hot! It was spicy,...
