I became a recording artist at Constantine Records, was nominated for seven International Red Carpet Music Awards winning one) and became a member of the Constantine Records Showcase tour all in about year.
But there’s a story behind all this. I took off nearly 40 years of performing to help raise seven kids prior to all this.
In early 2022, I put some songs up on YouTube for the kids for the time when I would eventually pass. Wouldn’t you know? A record company put some of those stripped-down old songs out on the market. I was as surprised as anyone when folks started buying them.
This led to performing at higher end venues and doing more stage shows as well as the Oklahoma State Fair.
I have been busy lately with the concerts. I have recorded a fully produced album in Nashville, TN at Hilltop Studio. I just wrapped up my portion of the 66 KIX Tours and I am on the road with Jeff Tatum and Palomino Moon and Becky Sparkman.
We'll see what the future hold, but for now, I am just having a ball and you are invited to share ride!
