The Arkansas shows have been a fabulous success….everything I love about Fort Smith and playing music here….Thank you very much to Mike and his staff down at Heros, everyone who made it out and got loaded and crazy right along with us….and of course all the amazing local musicians who sat in with me over the weekend! Friday night’s bombastic rawk show featured the guitar genius of Christopher Jones and some mighty drumming from good ol’ Nik Taylor. Here’s the Friday night set list:

We all went back to Jim Dick’s place and sat in a circle passing the acoustic guitars around the room until the sun came up (JD’s cover of Bad Romance is killer…)….another unforgettable night.
