What an amazing experience

The Josie Awards Weekend in Nashville was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and experience.  Being nominated alone was a huge honor.  Walking on that stage, twice, and standing in the hallowed circle was surreal. 

My band was asked to perform at the 10th annual Josie Music Awards Pre-Show at the CMA Hall Of Fame Museum and Theater to a sold-out show of 800 seats.  Sixty (60) of my dear family and friends traveled from all over to witness the performance at the Grand Ole Opry Awards Show.  Honestly, the weekend was more for those who have loved and supported me for over 35 years as I developed as an artist. A sweet confirmation, if you will. 

October 26 and 27, 2024

We were the only band asked to play the pre-show event.  All other acts were acoustic solos and duos.  The response was incredible!  The band never performed my original songs to such a large crowd or a group of people so engaged to what we were playing, I’ll never forget this weekend. 

A huge "Thank You" to my wife, family, and dear friends, for all the love and support in getting here. Thanks to my publicist, Barry Rogers for his guidance and belief in my abilities. To Tina Marie and Josie Passantino, creators of the Josie Music Awards, for this unforgettable experience.
