2026 National Veterans Creative Arts Festival
So proud to have won a Gold Medal in the Vocal - Blues category of the NVCAF competition. I'm so proud to be a part of the 46th National Veterans Creative Arts Competition and to have earned an invitation as a participant/performer at the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival in Columbia, SC in June. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the festival this year though!
Truthfully things are so stressful everywhere and people are really struggling and there's just so many differences anymore. It ain't easy! So I wanted to share my favorite song. I did it with the incomparable Rick McRae, Ernie Durawa and Brad Taylor several years back. I loved singing it and I still love listening to it .. it makes sense in a crazy world!
"I wanted to spotlight the last two tracks I recorded with Redd Volkaert, Floyd Domino, and Joey Colarusso before Redd moved to Virginia with his beautiful wife. I can't believe how lucky I have been! Redd still comes back to Austin to play occasionally and I'll sure ask him to save some time for the studio.
In the meantime .. Floyd and I and, I hope, Joey Colarusso will be back in there doing something
(if they both are ever off the road at the same time)! NOTE: I'LL BE UPLOADING THE NEWEST TRACK FROM MYSELF, REDD VOLKAERT, FLOYD DOMINO AND JOEY COLARUSSO IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. KEEP AN EYE OUT AND AN EAR .. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'LL LOVE IT!
