Where did the summer go? Let's hope the weather doesn't cool off too much this month. We'll try to keep the music HOT regardless. Thanks to all the road warriors once again. Also special shout out to the private party crashers. Thanks for the support and the discretion. I got  a new keyboard, the Yamaha MO6, so look out for new trax for your listening pleasure coming very soon. Back to band news, for a couple of dates this month and in October, we'll have our fill in drummer, Jeff Bell, as Matt goes off to do some other activities. Please show Jeff some special love! Don't worry 'cuz the party continues as usual. By the way, ya'll freaks are slacking on the thongs, if you're scared say you're scared! It's all good 'cuz ya'll are STILL setting off the FREAK BELL. Remember to UNLEASH THE BEAST and get a MONSTER energy drink, our proud sponsor. Lastly as Bev says, We're SOuLeD OUT every night, but you can still get in!

August 2008
Vacation was off the hook! How can you NOT have fun in Vegas! I'm back and inspired from that West Coast energy. Now it's time to keep the party going on the East Coast and this month has it all. The usual hot spots- Sweet Caroline's, The Pub, Downtown Strasburg - I don't even have to ask for party people to show up in Strasburg. (HINT) If you don't know, ya better ask somebody. August 5th - 7-10 PM. No day is safe from the SOULED OUT PARTY, even on a Tuesday night. So for anybody thinking about booking the band during the week remember it don't matter, just pick a day and it's on. Weddings have been consistently high energy filled lately too. So thanks again to all those who continually come out and inspire us to do what we love to do- make you dance, party and have fun! Summer is just getting started- LET'S GET IT POPPIN'!!!

July 2008
Happy 4th Of July Souled Out Family! I'm celebrating every weekend of JULY cuz it's my birthday at the end of the month and I'm going to Vegas baby! First off I have to thank all those that came out to the Berryville Event in the middle of the week.. Many firsts took place as we introduced our partnership and sponsorship with MONSTER ENERGY DRINK. So everybody RELEASE THE BEAST and pick up a can and toast with us as I lift up the PIMP CUP. My personal favorite is the orange Khaos flavor, check it out.  A lot of Souled Out virgins were converted and many CD's were sold. We thank you and welcome you into the family. Also to all my Souled Out Road Dogs, thanks for traveling up 81 north to party with us. No matter where we are, Harrisonburg is in the house! Last but not least, I have to thank my church family for coming out and giving their support. (Singing) Welcome, Welcome to Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. So everybody enjoy the month, stay safe, and I'll see ya soon.

June 2008
Finally! Good weather along with good music for your listening pleasure. June is here and so is my new CD DIVINE OVERFLOW! Pick it up, pick it up. Of course the party don't stop as THE SOULED OUT BAND rolls into a town near you. For all our fans that don't like the clubs, I wanna see ALL of you non club attendees on Wed. 25th! I love playing outside so I wanna see a lotta people at the park in BERRYVILLE. Don't forget and miss us this year. BERRYVILLE- I challenge ya'll to top the Strasburg Party downtown. It was off the hook! We're mixing in a couple new ole school songs in the live show to keep you die hard fans on your toes. As always, if you're breathing, you're blessed so try to be a blessing to others!

May 2008
Another successful Apple Blossom Kick-Off! Thanks to everyone who came out to Sweet Caroline's. Especially the ones who came out ALL 3 NIGHTS! Thanks for buying the new CD. Hope you got a new t-shirt. Hope you get a Souled Out THONG! If every weekend rolls like this first weekend, it's gonna be a wild and crazy month. Looking forward to two weekends in Strasburg. It's done! DIVINE OVERFLOW available for your spiritual pleasure at the end of the month. E-mail me or see me at the gig to get your copy! Again I pray that you receive blessings and the enjoyment of LIFE!

April 2008
After a quick weekend in South Beach! and 80 degrees, that Miami energy sparked me to let you know, it's time to bring the heat once again! April brings in the return of that Souled Out heat back to Staunton and Charles Town. We added some new songs to the set list. PLUS OUR NEW LIVE CD! recorded at the PUB in Harrisonburg is available for your party and listening pleasure. I can't forget my gospel fans. Divine Overflow is just a couple songs away from completion. Praise time is on the way. Thanks for supporting the band and our individual projects. Because of YOU, we are SOULED OUT!  

March 2008
Finally! Springtime has about sprung so let's warm it up like only the SOULED OUT CREW can do. Last month was especially fun as we initiated some new Souled Out virgins into the family. On behalf of Souled Out, I welcome you with the christening from the FREAK BELL. Special shout out to the private party crews! Ya'll have been surprisingly off the hook. To my spiritual family out there, my new CD " DIVINE OVERFLOW" is just about finished. Who says church folk and believers can't get funky and step it out. All in celebration of praising JESUS! Anyway as the blessings keep coming, I'll continue to bless all of you with my gifts and talents. May your life also continue to be blessed. See you at the gig or at the church.  IT'S ALL GOOD!

February 2008
Hey Hey Family! January was funky and freaky. I can't wait to see how ya'll set off February. I have yet another spiritual project on the way. I'm calling it Divine Overflow because the songs just kept coming from the last project. On the band side, originals are poppin' up everywhere. The show has a new medley dedicated to all our Rock N Rollers and Rednecks. Look out for the FREAK OFF when I ring the freak bell. We got some surprises coming up for our Old School Funksters. Speaking of that, some of you might remember the old Cabaret days. If you do, you sure remember Charles Gibson. He has a new CD out. Go to yourvoicethroughmine.com and get your copy! Warning- this is grown folks music! Free your mind and just relax. Well crew, till I see YOU! May God bless you and I'm out.

January 2008
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYBODY! It was a blast as usual at the Clarion in Shepardstown. Good to see a lot of you that make it EVERY year. For the band and our fans, 2008 is gonna be awesome and promising for all of us. I'm speaking it into existence. The show is always evolving and changing so it should be fun to see where we have gone and where we end up musically by the end of this year. Thanks to Adrien, our keyboardist and sax man, we have a new home STUDIO to work on material so look out for that first CD of all original songs! Of course you know I'm always composing so more projects from THE DELL are on the way. So here we go, let's keep it movin' and groovin' right out the gate in 08!
