Hey yall,
Nothing really new to report, but it’s been a while, so I thought I’d write something, even if it’s not very interesting.
Of course, our band has worked up an entirely new show for this year and it seems to be going over very well with our audiences. Our biggest success with our current album has been with the Beach Music/Shag Dance arena primarily in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. However, it amazes me how the audiences in Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida have latched onto our Beach styled songs. I’ll admit, they can’t shag, but they still dance and have fun with the music. I guess it goes back to the idea, if the music is good, the audiences will respond favorably!
The current single “Mo’ Better” is positioned at #7 this week in Cashbox Magazine www.cashboxmagazine.com on the Beach Music singles chart. ‘Fessa John Hook has been giving us some good spins on the Endless Summer Network which has been instrumental for the song’s momentum. And, surprisingly, “If You Can’t Shag” is still doing well at 94.9 the Surf in Myrtle Beach www.949thesurf.com .
Dariel Benden had some nice things to say in Alternatives News Magazine http://www.myrtlebeachalternatives.com/beach-newz and we’re glad she likes the record!
Unfortunately, our schedule does not permit us to attend Spring Safari SOS week at N. Myrtle Beach, we’ll be in Ohio and Indiana. But, we’ve blocked off time for Fall Migration in September and hopefully we’ll find a few places to play. I don’t care who you are, if you get a chance to spend time at Spring or Fall SOS, you owe it to yourself to go, it’s a blast!!!!!
We recently had an interview air on WSGE radio in the Charlotte NC area, which was set up by my good buddy Lamar Walker. We received an overwhelming number of emails and contacts from folks in the Charlotte area and thank you all! You can count on Charlotte being the first stop when the Rev. Bubba tour heads to the Carolinas. And let’s don’t leave out Greenville and Greenwood SC, where two of the best DJ’s in the country are spinning Bubba tunes, Pat Patterson and Spanky Jim Miller. We’re working on some live performance dates in the Greenville area right now and will keep you up to speed once the dates are firmed up.
That sure is a lot of writing for someone who didn’t have much to say. Like the farmer said to the tater “I’ll check you now, and dig you later”! Bubba D.
