We’ve got a very special show coming up in late September with the Brad Thompson Trio. Justin Pate and Joseph Carpenter will be joining me in the outdoor courtyard of The Sanford House Inn & Spa in Arlington, TX.

This is part of their “Sanford Spotlight” music series. The Sanford House is a luxury, boutique hotel that’s been in Arlington for nearly 30 years! They’re known for their excellent food and hospitality. And I know this will be an exceptional night. 

Ticket sales are live now. Check it out!

Here’s a great video shot by our friends at Camp Lurecrest. You get a real good feel of camp life for that one magical week we spend together in the gorgeous foothills of The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with all these amazing kids.

The aerial shots are really amazing. And there’s a couple shots of me singing around the campfire, accompanying kids during our campwide talent show, and singing together in the Dining Hall.

Here’s a great local news story about Camp CARE – the children’s oncology camp in Charlotte, North Carolina that I’ve been playing for 19 years. It’s based in Lake Lure, NC. Check it out. It’s such a beautiful place!

Click the video below. There’s a short ad then the news story will start.

It’s time to get fancy y’all! Join me and the band at the highest-rated Italian restaurant in Dallas, TX. You can make reservations now for the Sophia Music Lounge, a separate area from the main dining room dedicated to live music seven nights a week (they serve dinner in there too).

We’ve added sax for this gig and we’re gonna try all the Crooner / Rat Pack / Motown / Lounge material we can possibly do. Plus our usual rock stuff for a little later in the evening if the crowd is into it. There’s also an opening band from 5-8p.

21 and up, dress code enforced, and reservations strongly recommended. I foresee a lot of selfies at this gig. Let’s get bougie! Call or go online to make reservations – (469) 653-3990.
