Hello Friends. Above are a couple of new pics. In addition, here is a student video done by Brad Freitas and Mara Rose from Towson Univeristy. I was hesistant to put it up at first because it is unfinished, but my friend Steven convinced me it wouldn't be a bad idea. Here's their video of "HOW I LOVE MY MARYLAND":

As many of you know I've been promoting this single for a few months now. It finally seems like there's a bit of a breakthrough! Recently the Orioles' Director Production agreed to give the song some pre-game spin throughout the season. So this means if you get to one of the games early enough you may be able to catch the song being played. They won't do this every night but it means the song will get some much needed exposure throughout the rest of the season.

Please tell your friends about all of this. It's still my hope that the song will get some local radio play as well as some use with Office Of Tourism. But, this is a big deal and a great start! My thanks to all of you who've helped support it and bring it this far.

NOTES FROM THE ROAD:

BACK

The tour is done and I’m back home. I want to send a thanks to all of those who kept up with me on the road and everyone who called into Game Show Radio when I was a guest last week. It was so much fun gabbin’ with Curtis Earth, Steadman and the Andrew Trotter Orchestra.

Saturday’s show in Sarasota was the wrap up of the tour. Although I was functioning on fumes, it was fun. I really got to stretch out and do an extended set. Honestly I can’t remember everything I did but I’m so thankful that my friend Jean’s cousins came out with their hubbys, and to my old friend Alicia. Them, the folks from Michigan and everyone else hanging out was so much fun.

On Sunday I got to hang out with Curtis and his kids, Kyle and Cara. At 15 and 13 respectively, they have so much musical talent. I helped record a bass part for a new song they had just written the night before with Kyle on guitar and Cara on drums. Then I watched Cara lay down the vocals for a jingle that she and Kyle had written for Curtis’ radio show. Later that night Curtis and I had some Italian food and red wine while we caught up on our lives. Being the "lone-wolf" of sorts I’m reminded of how great the power of a good friendship is and I’m thankful.

Yesterday’s drive back was just one big blur with the occasional stops to re-fuel my car and my body. My hope is to now catch up on bookings for the summer and continue writing for my Nashville submissions as well as new songs for my set. I’ve got lots of ideas, I’ve just got to finish them. I’ll be posting pics from the tour real soon.

Thank you all for reading.

SUNSHINE STATE

Hello From Florida....I just finished up 3 fun filled days as a guest on the Game Show Radio program with Curtis Earth and Steadman. Much fun and "games"! I’ve been a little absent about posting but I’ve had some good times here in Florida so far. Tuesday I was at the Drunken Monkey Coffee Bar in Orlando. I was a little road weary, but my energy seemed to excel as the set went on. Thanks to my sister, Silver, and her friend Kristen for coming out and to owner, Larry and staff for a nice night. I’d post the set list but honestly I don’t really remember it. My sets this tour have sort of been all over the board...not really sticking to a pattern. Wednesday I had a good time at Rollins College. Katie and everyone there were so nice and sound-guy, JG, did me right on the sound system. This set was comprised of some of the originals like Freestyle, Wrap You Up and some cover requests like Sister Hazel, Train, etc.

Last night at Tatame was a bit lack-luster in terms of crowd quantity but I’m grateful to the folks that hung out and contributed like veterinary grad Jamie ,and her Mom and Dad from Wisconsin. Also Rick and Chris and of course owner, Maggie Lee. Last nights set was something like:

TALLER THAN ME
OPTION OUT
WRAP YOU UP
3 AGAIN
DO THE MATH
TREASURE

2ND SET:
CHOOSING MATTER
ZEBRA SLIPPERS
SOME MORE
FREESTYLE
FOLSOM PRISON BLUES
BE YOUR MAN

3RD SET
BEAUTIFUL BETHANY BARISTA GIRL
WAITING FOR ROSE
FREESTYLE (again by request)

Tonight I’m over at Push Play Cafe in Oviedo, Florida doing a set from 9:30pm-10:30pm. There are alot of great songwriters on the bill for that night too.

I’ll be posting pictures when I get home next week (forgot by camera chord). Thanks for reading.

MOUNTAINS OF FUN

Last night at Quotations Coffee in Brevard, NC was a ton of fun. There was no big crowd, no raving groupies, not even one raving groupie, and not even many people hanging out. But, with the good people there and the great sound in the room it was all well worth the trip. Sometimes these tours and shows seem to be just as much or more about the people I meet. Thanks alot to Lynne for having me back and her husband John, and their friends Henni and Virginia. I had a great time hanging out with them and conversing after the show. Also thanks to Christina for the great turkey sandwich and to Carolyn for her graciousness.

I’ve been struggling with some voice issues this trip and last night I felt things coming together more. This was more or less the set list:

-OVER THE HUMP
-FREESTYLE
-BEAUTIFUL BETHANY BARISTA GIRL
-3 AGAIN
-BE YOUR MAN
-WRAP YOU UP
-WAITING FOR ROSE
-97
-CHOOSING MATTER
-MOUNTAIN
-TREASURE

I’ve been visiting some of the old songs for this tour. Especially "Mountain". I’m really having fun with that one again and also with "Beautiful Bethany Barista Girl"....a personal fave. Last night was cool because I got to use my Santa Cruz Guitar in the set. For a second I felt cool ’cause I actually got to use two guitars on this tour.

Brevard is really a nice place...set near the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Mountains...southwest of Asheville. People are nice and I hope to get a chance to play there again.

Thanks for reading.

NC TO TN TO NC

Saturday brought me into Charlotte’s SK NET Café…a funky little place on the edge of downtown. It was me billed with 2 power pop bands-James Deem and Saving Graces. I was the middle guy. So there was me, the members of the other bands, 2 or 3 of their respective female significants, and 2 of my friends (Steve and Sarah) and maybe 2-3 regulars. Nonetheless, I had fun and enjoyed the show. I always think it’s interesting when you’re in a small room doing a performance and some of the other band members talk, loudly, through half your set. I’m so glad Steve and Sarah came out…they really helped make the night for me.

Sunday I hiked back up to Johnson City, TN. It got considerably cooler in the mountains. When I tour I usually find a nice nook to pull over in and do some practicing. Yesterday was so cold though that my practice time was limited. I opened for Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion at The Acoustic Coffeehouse. This is a great local hangout with two music spots…one in the café proper, and then a separate room for the larger touring acts. I had the pleasure of playing on the main stage this time around. Johnny and Sarah Lee had a long sound check due to some sound issues so by the time I got up there half the crowd was already in the room. I did a short set. The crowd was a bit restless and I didn’t feel like they were really totally tuning in until I did “Waiting For Rose.” For some reason after that they were a bit more attentive. This is the second time I’ve opened for Sarah Lee and Johnny. They are an extremely excellent duo, but I don’t feel like I’m a good musical match-up with them. I’ve never known what my musical demographic is, but it’s definitely not with their crowd. Respectively, they are more in the Americana, semi-traditional folk vein and I’m whatever I am….I was worried about playing songs that flow more in that direction but then I finally told myself “screw it, I’m just going to be me and do what I do”. Even though I might not have found many fans at that show, I found more peace with myself. I do want to think “Tall” Bob for buying a cd though…really nice guy!

SK NET Café Set:
-BE YOUR MAN
-GET UP GET OVER
-3 AGAIN
-SOME MORE
-WRAP YOU UP
-FREESTYLE
-MOUNTAIN
-TREASURE

Acoustic Coffeehouse Set:
-WONDERFUL
-GET UP GET OVER
-BEAUTIFUL BETHANY BARISTA GIRL
-WAITING FOR ROSE
-WRAP YOU UP
-MOUNTAIN

1ST DAY

I sailed down to Dobson, NC yesterday from Baltimore on only about 2 and a half hours of sleep. I learned the true meaning of "Power Naps" along the way and they definitely saved the day. I must confess to not feeling totally prepared for this trip. The transition from bar singer to coffeehouse-songwriter is sometimes not as seamless as I’d like to admit to myself. I found that to be the case especially last night as I searched hard to find my groove at The Wolf’s Lair, on a full moon. This show allows me the opportunity to play whatever I want to play. Finally half way through the second set things started to churn a little better. I want to send a shout-out to Paul, my first purchaser of a CD on this tour (I’ll be posting a pic in the next few days).

The drive down was gratifying. There’s a mountain pass on Rt 77 where you enter North Carolina from Virginia. There’s a spot along the sojourn where you can look East and see the exquisite array of valley and mountains stenciled for miles across the Earth. The drive down Rt 81 through the Shenadoah is also wild. Having done this trip several times you would think that this would be old hat to me by now. Yet, it’s sort of like that girl you’ve seen around town for years and said to yourself, "yeah, she’s attractive but..." then one day it dawns on you that she is beyond beautiful and you think, "How come I never realized her profundity before?" Sometimes fatigue knocks down an extra wall or two allowing the soul to see a little further and feel a little more.

I want to mention the Wolf’s Lair for a second. It’s a really nice restaurant set on the grounds of Black Wolf vineyards. The owner, D.Theis, has always been extremely gracious with us musicians. He and long-term girlfriend, Jane, are engaged and I just want to send them much congratulations. I also want to mention Twyla, owner of the Maxwell House B&B in Mt. Airy. I had the pleasure of staying here for the 3rd time last night. She is a doll and the Maxwell House is a great place to stay if you’re ever in the Mt. Airy area.

Tonight I’m at SK NET CAFE in Charlotte. I’m not sure what to expect but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to do a new show in Charlotte.

Thanks for reading,
Damion

P.S. When I tour I usually bring 2-3 cds for inspiration. For Tour De South 2008 I brought "Once" the soundtrack, "The Stranger," Billy Joel, and "Stephen Stills Live".
