My newest post since August. Yep. I know, it's November. I've been busy.

My band, The TRUCKSTOP JUNKIES, with my bandmates, Noah, Kemp, Trigger, and Clay, are the newest SHINER BOCK Rising Stars for 2007. Yep. The official band of Shiner Beer. Indeed.
We have worked our arses off for this. Lots of shows, practices, roster changes, aches and pains, etc., but here we are.
I have to credit a couple of other guys who were once fixtures in this band. Liberty Allen, guitar teacher/instructor, and our "Gordon Sumner", in a bass player named John Dawson, who, like Sting from the Police, is a high school English Teacher. But instead of leaving teaching for the band, John left the band for teaching. He's still one of the most competent bass players I have played with.
Liberty has played with bands on the west coast all well as with us before we became The TRUCKSTOP JUNKIES. Again, a really competent and great guy.
The guys in the band now are all great players. We were good enough to beat out 116 original applicants to the contest and 32 semi-finalists and 4 finalists.
Stay tuned for a studio production from us. We will be leaving to go into the studio in Nashville in the coming weeks. It will be marketed on the Shiner Records/Palo Duro label.
Go check us pout on Myspace and listen to our songs. I think you'll dig them.

Peace...
