COWBOYZ

We're currently all hanging out in the band house after the show - it's 4:15 am... The night has been filled with a great show and LOTS AND LOTS of hilarity. We're currently waiting on the sheets to dry so we can put them on our beds and go to sleep!!! It has been one loooong night, day, and night all over again.

We had to drive through almost all of last night and most of the day today.

Last night (this morning...) I actually had to pay full price at a hotel for us to sleep a total of 3 hours. Wooo hoooo!!!

Cowboyz is great. It is this awesome club right across from the beach in Ocean City, Maryland. They are open for dinner and then party the night away. :)

I have to say thank you to CAT Country 97.5 and 105.9 for having me on the show today. They gave away Kenny Chesney tickets during my interview to help promote MY show. (Thanks, Kenny... I appreciate it) ; )

Johnny, the owner and DJ of Cowboyz modeled my shirt all night long. I love it!



James' mother and step-dad came down from New York today to see the show!!! The band, Tamara, and I went to eat at Denny's after the show.... and this Denny's DEFINITELY used to be an indoor pool. The meal consisted of lots of laughing, I was crying at one point I was laughing so hard. I love those nights.


Stanley and Donna!!! They read about the show in the paper (I talked to a lot of people who came out from reading about the show... YAY!), and stayed the whole night. Stanley is a huge fan of the fiddle, and knew quite a bit about Columbia, Tennessee. He knew Sterling Marlin grew up there and was impressed that my Mamma cleaned his teeth before :) I dedicated a fiddle song in the first set and we opened the second set with Tn Waltz just for him :) I've never done that before at a show, but it was really awesome!



Other awesome folks from the night!






We do it all over again tomorrow!

Peace. Love. Fiddle.

Brew River!!!

Every time I say "Brew River" I hear the melody of "Moon River" in my head.... :)

This place was so fun! It is located in Salisbury MD right on the water and the crabcakes did NOT disappoint!!! They lived up to the Maryland expectation!!! BREW RIVER

First of all, I have to say a HUGE THANK YOU to CAT COUNTRY 97.5 and 105.9 for being so supportive!!! Thank you to EJ Foxx for having me on mid-days with EJ all week! CAT COUNTRY was sponsoring the first "Country Night" at Brew River. They gave away my cds and all kinds of cool stuff to everyone at the club! It really made it a festive night!!!

This is me showing my love for CAT COUNTRY!! CAT COUNTRY's website


And I was PUMPED because Middleweight Boxing Champion Fernando Guerrero was at the show!!! The whole place was a-buzz when he walked in :) He was so sweet and QUITE the dancer :) He's 10-0 this season so far.... so yeah, he's doin all right :) I'm sure you'll be hearing more about him soon if you haven't already!



The whole night was so fun. The entire wait staff was decked out in cowboy hats, boots, and all that is country. Here's some shots from the crowd:

This lady went on and on about how she was aaaaalllllll comfy in her pj's, and her husband called her from the bar and said "You HAVE to come out. Get ready and I'll come get you" She didn't realize it was country night. But she came out and then they stayed until the very end!



These two walked in and were cracking me up! They had just come from a costume contest at another bar. Even though no one else here was dressed up, they didn't care! Ms. policewoman handcuffed me to Mr. White Trash..... Thankfully she took the cuffs off before I had to play again for the next set....



This is Sarah who works at Brew River and asked for the night off so she could just enjoy country night. I thought it was Carrie Underwood when we were setting up. Even if you don't think so from straight on - If you saw her profile... you would definitely think you were looking at Carrie Underwood :)




Larry also work there and was singing an dancing the WHOLE night. I know it's hard to tell.... but he was having a GOOD time *wink wink*



So yeah, we had a blast at Brew River. Shows just keep getting better and better.

Peace, Love, Fiddle YALL!
