After an amazing Christmas in Australia I had the biggest day ever flying back to the US. I left Sydney at 3pm on the 19th for a 14 hour flight and arrived in LA at 11am on the same day!! (That’s right, I went back in time.) On arrival I  grabbed a hire car and head straight to NAMM!!  It may have been my fatigue but I was totally overwhelmed by NAMM in LA it blew me away, what an amazing event! I was so stunned that I only took these few photos ha ha…

I then went and finished a song with producer/writer JJ Farris, and sang on a track for another movie submission that we’ll hear about later this month. Finished at 11pm not bad for a days work!

Talking about movies, I had the pleasure of working with super talents Bryce Jacobs and Fiona Kernaghan writing for the up coming action-thriller “Bad Karma” for Zero Gravity Prods.  Starring Ray Liotta and Dominic Purcell, Liotta plays a con man who turns his life around after a near-death experience only to be forced to come to terms with his shady past. Set for release in Australia and abroad 2012.

If you’ve been following my facebook or twitter feeds you would know that Danielle Blakey released FEARLESS to radio in Australia I wrote the song with Danielle, Lindsay Rimes and Phil Barton on one of her Nashville Trips. Danielle was on the Morning show in Australia this morning.  Click here to see the video.

If you know me you already know that I love Cole Clark Guitars because they sound incredible and that Cole Clark have been a huge supporter of my work. I thank them for their belief in me as a writer and artist, I will be playing their amazing Triumph model Fat Lady and their concert series UK.E.LADY this week when I perform with Tommy Emmanuel in KY on Thursday for the Acoustic Guitar Masters Tommy Fest Concert Series.

I’m also happy to announce that I have teamed up with my favorite string manufacturer D’Addario and Planet Waves for future shows and I’m in discussions with a great Australian clothing label DEACON, they have some amazing designs. Right now I have a superstar jacket that I LOVE…

So the year is off to a great start! I wonder what it has in store for us all?
