The first chart action for "If I Ever Get Home"

Hello everybody! I have some exciting news to share with you all. Our album has debuted at #14 on the Cashbox Magazine monthly Bluegrass chart! We are very excited and want to thank all of you who have purchased the album and requested "If I Ever Get Home" on the radio. Exciting things are starting to happen!

We would also like to announce that we have started working with Melissa Lawrence. She will be booking the band as well as handling the promotion of the album. If you have any questions about booking TBSP for your next event, please feel free to call or write Melissa. Her contact info is here on the website.

Yesterday, we played in Rogersville, AL at the 9th annual bluegrass festival there. We had a great time there and enjoyed meeting everyone. That was really a good festival in a good park. There was lots of good food, too. We would like to give the guys at JBM sound a big pat on the back. They done just a phenomenal job with the sound. When the sound is good, it makes our job a whole lot easier. Thanks guys!

While we're thanking people and announcing and all that good stuff, I might as well tell you about the people that help us sound good. We would like to thank Ernie Ball Strings. If you are having trouble with strings breaking, Ernie Ball is your answer. They make a good, long-lasting string that also sounds good. We highly recommend trying their banjo, guitar and mandolin strings. Also check out ErnieBall.com for accessories and apparel as well. We also want to thank Nechville Banjos. Weston plays and endorses Nechville. Its a great sounding, great looking banjo. They have several models to choose from, all built with the same Nechville quality. Finally, I want to tell you about Blue Chip Picks. These are they closest picks to actual tortoise picks that we've found. They are really durable and slide right off the string. These picks are a dream to play with.

Wow, there has been a lot of information thrown at you here. I promise, there is still more to come. There is lot's of stuff happening behind the scenes that we can't announce just yet, but keep checking back and just as soon as we have some things firmed up, we will let you know.

Back in a bit,
Wayne

Happy Fourth!!

Hello and Happy July 4th to everyone! I hope everyone has a good Independence Day. I also hope you take the time to reflect on what this country was founded on. These days it seems like our country's leaders have forgotten about what our founders had in mind when they established our independence. It seems as if more and more of our freedoms are taken away from us as time passes. We need to remember this when it comes time to vote. Those responible need to be held accountable for their actions. The way that you, as an American citizen, can do that is to go and vote. Also, don't forget to thank a veteran, this weekend. They helped keep us as free as we are today. These are people who don't know who you are, but they were willing to step up and say "I will defend this country's freedom, even if it costs me my life". So as you gather with your family this weekend, take a few minutes to reflect on the history of this great nation. Remember that as bad as things may seem to be today, this is still the greatest nation in the world and God has his hand on us!

Enjoy your holiday!
Wayne & all The Bluegrass Soul Pickers
