In Cali with Dolly

I just got back in Nashville from being out on the West Coast with the Dolly tour.  I had a great time and the weather was beautiful.  I just have to say I don't think there is a better run tour out there today in the music business.  The Band is INSANELY tight, the crew is like a well oiled machine, and Dolly... well...is Dolly, enough said.  It was a real treat to be around so many professionals in all aspects of touring.  However, I'm very happy to be back here in town gearing up for the shows my own band and crew have coming up this Fall.  We have a Label showcase coming up and I will get everyone the details asap cause I would love to see you all there.  Take care and hope to see you soon!  ELB

Music Row Chart and...

I just thought I would try to update everyone each week with how "Nowhere USA" is doing on the Music Row Chart.   This was the first week we were asking radio stations to add the song to their programs rotation.  It entered the chart this week at 94.  I was very excited seeing this is my highest debut for a single yet.  Just to put it into perspective, my last single "Small Town America" which climbed all the way up to 22 on the Music Row Chart entered at 230.  All the stations that I talked to this week across the country said they were getting great response from their listeners and getting a good number of request.  If any of you reading this have made request to your local radio station to play "Nowhere USA" all I can say is THANK YOU and keep it up!  I hope to see you on the road very soon.     ELB To see the Music Row Top 75 Chart go to    musicrow.com Week 2 on the Chart "Nowhere USA" moved up twevle spots to 82!
