The weekend off!

I say we have the weekend off, but that doesn't mean that I get to lay around the house all weekend. Friday night we are headed down to San Antonio to see the CD Release of our friend Wes Harllee. He played acoustic on our last record and made it sound amazing. His lead guitar player Flöhmeyer also graced our record and took it to the top! Can't wait to hear their songs live at Sams Burger Joint. I know they have been working long and hard to make the record perfect and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. I also get to see some friends that I haven't seen in a long time!

Saturday, we are headed out to Georgetown to my parents house. We will be drinking heavily and hanging out around the pool! POOL PARTY!!!! Not home much on the weekends anymore, so get really excited when we get the chance to go out there and party. Doing burgers and hot dogs, beer, cannonballs, jammin tunes, shots, shots, shots, and passing out in the yard. Emma (my dog) is also very excited about the pool party and will be spending most of her time in the pool....or sleeping.

Hope everybody has a great and safe weekend! All my peeps out at Larry Joe Taylor music fest...I am very jealous...drink one for me!

See ya down the road

Music Recommendation: Mindy Smith- One Moment More

Such a great record and great to listen to when I am very hungover. She has a very soothing voice and great melodies. Very chill record.

Live Music Recommendation: Besides Wes Harllee at Sams Burger Joint...Go check out fellow AUE artists Zack Walther Band @ Gruene Hall with our buddies Rosehill opening the show.

The start of my blog....

Well, here we go! I have never done a blog, but I guess there is a first time for everything. The band and myself have been super busy lately trying to get all our ducks in a row, and those damn things are hard to catch. We have new booking/management/pr/marketing keeping us very busy these days. I always say, "if I'm not busy, then I'm not having fun". It's great not always getting as much sleep as you want and driving 5 hrs to play for 1 hr to a group of people that are trying to have a conversation! That may sound awful to you, but to me it's my job.

We will be having some new contests and giveaways coming up in the next few weeks, so stay tuned to our new site for that: www.chadjohnsonband.com We are also starting a new video series that should be really fun and enjoyable for everyone. Our new radio single "Why" is out so please call your local radio and request it! Lets see... I think that about does it for me. Thanks for reading and keep checking back for more updates. Also, follow us on Facebook and Twitter and keep spreading the word!

See ya down the road!
