To Our Many Fans and Friends of Country Music:
Hi all,
2011 is looking to be a great year in Maine Country Music. As I write this, I just finished a long weekend performing in Augusta and Mechanic Falls as part of the Maine Country Music Pioneer Show and saw so many old and new friends and fans. It is always good to see you again and thank you for coming by to say hello, it means a whole lot.
This year’s Pioneer Show was one that will be long remembered with some new talent, along with the perennial head liner, the gifted singer and entertainer, Ira Allen. Appearing this year, for the first time was Rod Carr and Kathy Severance, singing great traditional music and the dynamic duo of Ken and Jane Brooks, a talented husband wife team that really took the audience by surprise with their incredible gift of talent. If you get a chance to see them, you won’t be disappointed! Hope to be doing more with them in the future.
A couple of weeks ago, a group of us got together to do a benefit for Pam Cleaves, who is battling cancer. Pam, as many of you may remember, fronted our show for a couple of years and also appeared on my CD, “One More Time” doing backup vocals on many of the songs.
So many performers joined us that day and what a wonderful turnout and we were able to raise one of the biggest benefits that I have been affiliated with. Thank you all for your support, I know how much it meant to Pam. By the way, Pam was able to perform that day and I have never heard her sound better, way to go PAM!
This year Jordan’s Snack Bar will celebrate its 30th anniversary. I am honored to be performing this year for this remarkable event! Hope to see you all there on June 29th!
Finally, I have been doing a good deal of writing and just finished a new song called, “There’s Not Much Country Music on the Radio Today”. I performed this song for the Pioneer Show and the people loved it. I will add it to our show list and will be sure and do it at Jordan’s.
Hope to get to the studio and get some much needed and requested new material for you all!
Until next time, KEEP IT COUNTRY!
Danny
