Trouble on BIG Radio Tour
Glenn Cummings (Gulf Coast Records) has been traveling across the United States promoting his debut album, Big, to radio. Recently he was driving through Arizona where he nearly got into some big trouble.
He was busy admiring the beautiful mountains of Sedona, Arizona between radio visits at KNOT/Prescott and KAFF/Flagstaff when suddenly he noticed the blue lights flashing in the rear-view mirror. He pulled over and a police officer demanded Glenn to walk to the back of the vehicle where the officer informed Glenn that jail time was the penalty for going the speed he was traveling.
Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis Announce Holiday Show Dates
Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison are preparing for their 6th annual series of informal holiday concerts, mixing choice Yuletide classics with favorite obscurities and a few songs from their own repertoire (see itinerary below). Special guests The Greencards will open all the shows and also perform as Bruce and Kelly's backing band.
“The holiday shows started as a good excuse for Kelly and I to do something fun together,” Robison said. “We’d both become so busy in our careers that we had to book a gig so we could play music together, and it ended up being something we really looked forward to every year. It feels like our own little family tradition now.” [link url=http://forums.about.com/ab-countrymusic/messages?msg=13230.1]More...
