Tony teams up with Pearl Drums!

Hello ladies and gents!
   I have a bit of exciting news to report. As of this last week things were finalized so I have an announcement to make.
  As many of you know I have been playing Pearl drums for many years. Well, as of last week it is official! I am now officially an endorser of Pearl Drums and Hardware and I couldn't be more excited! Pearl is a company that has stood the test of time and they have a superior product. My only regret is not switching to them years ago.
  It is a great honor and makes me proud to be affiliated and represent such a great company with great products that I feel I can stand behind. You can't go wrong with Pearl!
  I would like to send a shout out to Kevin and the rest of the staff for welcoming me into the Pearl family and making such awesome products! Thank You!

God Bless

Canadian Tour! Beautiful!

Hello again ladies and gents,
  Well, we are full on a week into the Canadian tour with Eric Lee Beddingfield. Eric did an amazing job performing our National Anthem before the race at Pocono on the 4th and we have been hitting it hard in Canada. Right now we are in Toronto with a few days off and I must say this is an AMAZING city. If you haven't been following along on my facebook page be sure to go there and check out some of the pictures. I have 2 new albums there titled Gobowling.com 400 at Pocono and another titled simply Canada 2013
  Our hotel in Toronto opens up into the Rogers Center (formally the Skydome) so I have been lucky enough to catch my first pro baseball game. As luck would have it, I was able to see 2 different Nashville natives pitch for two of the teams. Torontos pitcher and last years Cy Young award winner R.A. Dickey and the Oaklands A's rookie Sonny Gray. That has been a very cool highlight of the trip.
   Anyway, time to get going, we fire the machine back up tomorrow for a 3 day run of shows. Be sure to follow the posts, like the pages and hit me up on twitter or facebook and we'll see ya soon!
Take Care,
  Tony

Happy 2013!

   Hello everyone and Happy New Year! It's been a while since my last post so I just wanted to drop a quick line to say whats up. 2012 was a great year so I can only imagine what 2013 has in store.
   I would like to start the new year off by thanking everyone of you that has supported and continue to support me along this awesome journey that is the music business. Sometimes its a rough road that will eat you alive but you have to get up, dust off and keep going. It is you guys, the fans and friends that drives and pushes me to do just that!
   I would like to also thank the sponsors and product companies of the gear I use to make it all happen, Silverfox Drumsticks, Remo Drumheads, Sabian Cymbals, Pearl Drums, DW Hardware and last but def. not least Woodshed Custom Bass Heads. I've been lucky enough to have a working relationship with these companies, they have been great to me and have been a huge help in my career by keeping things going smoothly. I can only hope it will be a partnership that lasts for a long time to come.
  A lot of things are going to be happening this year so keep an eye on this website as well as my Facebook and Twitter for upcoming news... Thanks for everything and Happy New Year!

Peace,
  Tony

It's been a while since I've posted and now that the site is back up I figured its as good as time as any. First off thanks to Belmont Lane Productions for making over the site with some killer upgrades. Be sure to check out the photo and video sections.

Tonight we are playing Portfest in Newport, Ar and are oping for the legendary Charlie Daniels Band. Tomorrow we are rolling out to Farmington, Mo to play Country Days Music Fest. Next week is going to be awesome as we were invited to be  a part of the CMA Fest kickoff party and will be playing the Riverfront Stage on Wed. at 2pm along side Little Big Town and LoCash Cowboys. Looking forward to a great summer! Until next time, take care and I hope to see ya at the shows!
