July 2010
Hotter Than July was a Stevie Wonder album title and it’s a
fitting theme for the summer so far. Thanks to all our fans for
braving the heat and coming out to party with us. Also welcome
to all our new fans! Souled Out is conquering the world one fan
at a time. So here we go! We’re starting the month in our new
hot spot, the town of Staunton once again. We’ll be at
Mulligan's on July 2nd. It’s our first time at this club so
Stauntonites, let’s turn it out. Hey Front Royal!! It’s only
been a month since we made it past the threatening rain and had
the event of the summer-DANCIN DOWNTOWN! I miss your energy
already so I’m looking forward to see how many of you can fit
inside the Stonewall Restaurant on July 3rd. Let’s do it like
only Front Royaaaaal can! Happy 4th Of July Everybody! We’re
playing a private party so use your resources to get an invite
to celebrate with the Souled Out Band! It’s a celebration! I
can’t wait to return to Martinsburg, WVA. at the Hideaway on
July 10th. April seems too long ago to be away from you good
party people so spread the word that we’re coming back. Fans be
sure to check the band website for surprise gigs poppin’ up out
of nowhere. I love this time of year! Starting July 19th we’re
on vacation for a couple weeks but we’ll return with a vengeance
in August. Best wishes to our sound man MATT LISCIO who will be
leaving us this month. So Souled Out family when you see him,
show him all your LOVE and let him know he’ll be missed. MATT, I
miss you already! We welcome our new sound man Ricky Furr to the
Souled Out Family. So crew when you see him, welcome him with
all the Souled Out love that you’ve got. Hey praise party crew,
I got a new praise song coming for your downloading pleasure
later this month. Psalm 121:2!! The summer’s just getting
started so everybody be safe and we’ll see you soon.
June 2010
Summer's here! June is special event month. Lots
of annual or yearly celebrations and two outside gigs which you
all know I love. First up is a new club for us called The Red
Cafe in Martinsburg, WV on June 4th. I don't know what to expect
so I'll just say Martinsburg crew, come out and help us set it
off! Next on the agenda is outside gig No.1 of the summer-
Dancing Downtown! in Front Royal on June 5th. It is just that,
the street is full of people dancing, singing, screaming,
rocking out and just having a funky good time. If you've never
been to a street party, this is the one to go to! The next big
event is back to Sweet Caroline's on June 18th. March was the
last time we were there so I know the Winchester crew has gotta
get their Souled Out fix on. It will be a wild and freaky Friday
night without question. I got my whip! See you in the place! To
close out the month, outside gig No. 2 of the summer- FREE
CONCERT!!!!! at the Berryville Park on June 30th. This yearly
event sneaks up on everybody every year so don't let it slip by
YOU! We've got a couple special events sprinkled here and there
through the month so just check the website for details. All my
worshippers! I've got new music for download so I'm keeping HIS
name lifted up! On that note I'll end this with the title of the
latest track. This goes out to The Most High and to all of you,
I WANNA THANK YOU!
May 2010
I can’t believe it’s May already! 5 months already gone and The
Souled Out Family is growing steadily in 2010 . I also can’t
believe all those people who have never heard us yet. For those
that just came aboard, Welcome to the family!! Let me first say
thank you to the folks who came to The Stonewall Jackson in
Front Royal during the craziness of Apple Blossom. I even saw
some of you over at the Blossom too. Also thanks to the staff at
Stonewall for having my Smirnoff Grape. Ya’ll are now my
favorite spot. To those that don’t know about Smirnoff Grape,
You better ask somebody! By the way, I need a Stonewall Jackson
t-shirt (HINT HINT). On to the next event, I’m anticipating
another wild party at The Strasburg Theater on May 8th.
Quite a few people are trying to make it out for this show that
haven’t seen us there before. Please come up to the stage and
let me know you’re in the house! I have to get all of your
pictures on the website. The next event on the schedule that I’m
also anticipating is the return to the Clocktower in Staunton,
VA. The April show was a great turnout and everybody had a great
time. There were girls climbing on the stage dropping it like
it’s hot, I had to break out the whip, and the intermission
party was hot! Staunton ya’ll really showed off last time. I
wanna see you top yourselves on May 22nd. If May is
anything like April was, it’s gonna be an amazing month! As some
of you know, April was extraordinary for me so thanks for all of
the congrats. Life is incredible!!! May the month bring YOU
awesome blessings. This is my prayer and wish for all of you!
See you soon.
April 2010
Spring is slow warming
up but Souled Out is keeping it HOT this month! We’re starting
April off in Front Royyyyyyaaaalllll at The Stonewall Restaurant
on April 2nd, it’s a continuation of the party
started back in February. Speaking of February, Staunton Va. has
been patiently waiting since our show was cancelled back during
the big snowstorm. We finally get to burn the roof off of the
Clocktower on April 3rd. It’s gonna be packed, even
some of the Harrisonburg crew is coming down. Rev. Dell says
it’s a blessing to be able to party and celebrate so get your
butts up the next day on Sunday and go to church. By the way,
HAPPY EASTER!! Next it’s a week or so off to continue
celebrating and chillin’. South Beach has been calling my name
so I might have to answer that call. Can anybody say, Welcome to
Miami! After a little break, it’s on to our new favorite club,
The Hideaway Lounge in Martinsburg, WVA. The staff is too nice!!
We’ll happily be back there on April 24th.
I’m looking for it to be even more packed than it was the first time. Last but not least, what could be better than to end the month how we started it, in Front Royyyyyyyyaaaaallllllll!!! We’re back at the Stonewall Restaurant for two nights in a row on April 30th and April 31st. By the way, Happy Apple Blossom!!! You’ll definitely see me with about 10 Italian sausages. It’s gonna be wild and crazy in Winchester but if you wanna get away from the madness and party discreetly, come on over to the Royal. You won’t regret it. Thanks for all the love and support ya’ll. On behalf of the Souled Out Band, I say, WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Question of the month! Can we escape another snowstorm before
March is over? Well you can’t escape Souled Out cuz we’re going to
be everywhere this month, jammin’ up and down Interstate 81. All my
Harrisonburg Pub regulars, I want to see you all at Massanutten Ski
Resort on March 5th and 6th. Some of you
already confirmed that you’re gonna be there and ready for a crazy
weekend. IT’S ON!! Winchester folks, come out and support a great
cause to raise money for our hometown legend Patsy Cline!! The
Fundraiser will be at the Best Western-Lee Jackson Hotel on March 12th.
I’ll be wearing my cowboy hat and boots for this event. I might even
break out some Charley Pride, DON’T MISS THIS SHOW!! Back down 81
south and we’re back at The Pub in Harrisonburg on March 19th.
This show is for the people in the very back by the pool tables. We
see ya’ll back there partying too! I’ll be giving ya’ll shout outs
all night. We’re back at the Strasburg Theater on March 20th.
As some of you already know, this is definitely a unique crowd and
experience for all attendees. I have to say it again, what happens
in Strasburg, stays in Strasburg. At the end of the month it’s back
home to Sweet Caroline's on March 27th. It’s been way too
long since we had a Saturday night at Sweets. I can already feel
that it’s gonna be a good night. Somebody say MARCH MADNESS!! Here
we go again!!!
February 2010
What’s happening family! Don’t let the cold and the snow stop
your roll. I’m loving it this year. BRING IT ON!!! Souled Out
continues to bring on the party and keep things heated up. Thanks to
The Friendship Fire Company Crew for the food, fun, and hospitality.
Hopefully we’ll see you next year. Also thanks to the Pub in
Harrisonburg, you never let us down. Can’t wait to return in March.
Speaking of returns, we’re back in Staunton ,VA. at The Clocktower
on Feb. 6th. Ya’ll better spread the word that SOULED
OUT’S BACK!!! Sweet Caroline's on the Feb. 12th is sure
to be an event not to miss. If you ask people from Maine to Florida
where they’ve heard us, the answer is almost always—Sweet
Caroline's!!! I can’t explain it, It’s just something special about
that place and The Souled Out Family. Another favorite spot for the
fans is none other than Front Royal, VA!!! We’ll be at The Stonewall
Jackson Restaurant on Feb. 13th. All Front Royal events
are what I call Outrageously Off The Hook! Surrounding cities and
towns, venture in if you dare!!! For my peeps, a new spiritual remix
is posted for your downloading pleasure. Keep praising HIM in 2010!!
So I’ll see you good, blessed, and highly favored folks at the next
event.
To all my Martinsburg, WV. Peeps- How ya’ll been!! We’re back in
your town on Feb. 20th at the new spot The Hideaway
Lounge. Spread the word. I’m taking pix so I make sure I get
everyone of you on the website! See you there.
January 2010
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I have to thank all those folks that celebrated
with us at The Clarion Inn in Shepherdstown. For the last 8 years
we’ve been jamming there for New Years Eve. I’m hoping to make it to
10 years straight!!! For those who have been there, you know it’s
the perfect place. 2011 will be here before you know it, see you
next year!!! Next I have to say thanks to all the people who braved
the cold and partied with us at the Strasburg Theater on Jan. 2nd.
As I always ask, are ya’ll tired yet?? I guess you weren’t!! Now
everybody’s New Year’s resolution should be to make it down to the
PUB in Harrisonburg just once this year. Jan. 22nd and 23rd
are gonna be the bomb. Come out both nights and compare which night
was the wildest. Until you’ve seen us down there, you really haven’t
seen us. On Jan. 29th is the return to the Friendship
Fire Company Event. For those of you who are invited, we expect a
bigger turnout and bigger party than last time. SPECIAL NOTE!! All
my fans that like to see your pictures, I’ll be posting them on the
Souled Out website this year through Flickr. Remember, you have to
stop dancing and POSE!!! It’s 2010 AND HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!

2009
Well Souled Out crew, it’s only two weekends of fun this month! On
Friday November 6th we’re at a brand new venue that we hope
will become a new home for our fans- Dave-Bob’s BBQ & Such. It
used to be the old Hoss’s Steak House. By the way, the beef brisket is
off the hook!! Come and check it out! Lastly, 2 fun filled
nights at The Pub in Harrisonburg on November 20th & 21st.
If you can handle both nights at the Pub then you’re definitely a Souled
Out professional. For my fans, I’m gonna sneak in a couple new tracks
before the end of the month for your downloading pleasure. Then
I’m off to Louisville, KY. for Thanksgiving with family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!! It’s the holiday season but don’t forget
it’s all about JESUS! It’s because of HIM we can truly be
thankful.
October
2009
Summer’s gone and fall celebrations begin! Come celebrate life with the
Souled Out band. We begin with the return to the Warren County
Fairgrounds. We opened up for some great artists such as The Drifters,
Clarence Carter and AWB so it’s a blast to be back on that stage once
again. Plus it’s all about YOU Front Royal!! Dancin’ Downtown was like
the good old days so let’s keep it going on October 2. 6-10. The next
event I’m really looking forward to is The Balloon Fest at Long Branch
on October 17th. It’s a great opportunity to play for some
folks who may never have experienced a Souled Out Party before. I’m sure
some of our fans will show up to help us get the party crankin’. Back in
Harrisonburg on October 23rd, The Strasburg Theater on
October 24th, and Sweet Caroline's for HALLOWEEN!! October 31st.
A lotta jammin’ to start everybody right into the HOLIDAY SEASON. I got
new praise songs on the way for the month too. Celebrate Souled Out
today and tomorrow. Celebrate JESUS FOREVER!

Summer’s almost gone already! Don’t worry because Souled Out is gonna
take it out with a bang! Luray Va.!! Here We Come! September 4th,
7-9 Downtown. We haven’t been in Luray in a long time, so I can’t wait.
The excitement and anticipation from the Luray crew and area is off the
chain for this event. The return to Charles Town is gonna be equally
crazy on September 5th at Longshots. My old crew, let’s take
it back to the old Tailgaters parties!! The next party is a Clarke
County event on September 11th, I don’t know what to expect for this
one. All you Berryville folks, I wanna see you all there.
Ladies and Gentlemen, young and old, we’re coming back to do Dancin’
Downtown in Front Royal!!! Everybody knows how ya’ll get down so I know
it’s gonna be a wild street party you’ve got to see to believe! Of
course, the return to the Pub in Harrisonburg on September 19th
(our favorite spot) never disappoints anyone who attends. You know you
BETTER be at that show if at all possible. For all that like to praise
HIM, I’ve got a new track for you to groove to so enjoy. I’ll see you
soon!

the most. The first outdoor show is our annual FREE!! Berryville Va.
Park show on June 24th. That’s right I said free!!! For those

For our party participants, there’s plenty of dance room in the grass.
Let’s make it a field party!!! It was a nice turnout last year but I
wanna see the WHOLE TOWN turn out this year. Special shout out to the
HERNDON crew that came out last month, I didn’t know ya’ll got freaky

DIVINES. Of course our monthly Sweet Caroline's gig is on June 20th.
By the way, The Annual Blues Festival is taking place during the DAY so
come out and support a good cause and come back that NIGHT for THE
SOULED OUT BAND PARTY. Spread the word!!! Closing out the month is
Strasburg Theater and we still need to fill those seats!! It’s the
perfect place for Souled Out virgins to have their first experience.
Come grab a seat and take it all in. Dancers bring all your non dancing
friends. It’s gonna be a month of fun in June, See ya soon!!

grills, break out the coolers and put on that Souled Out CD and let’s
get ready for the start of the summer season next month. See ya at the
stage!
April 2009
The countdown
to the THREE NIGHT APPLE BLOSSOM EXTRAVAGANZA has begun! In just 4 weeks,
the madness of the season jumps off. How many party people can go all 3
nights? Only the strong will survive! SWEET CAROLINE'S- April 30th, May 1st,
& May 2nd. Luckily for us to build our stamina, there’s hot gigs to prepare
us for the big event. Strasburg Theater on April 25th is a nice
setup for the big weekend to come. We need more people in the theater seats.
So If you want to see what the Souled Out experience is all about and just
observe, Strasburg is the perfect venue. Before all that action takes place,
we have a situation that needs to be fixed. Herndon, VA. has YET to be
initiated by the Souled Out Band BUT come April 18th, Herndon will never be
the same. Spread the word! Befre we go any further, there’s a city that’s
been calling my name so MIAMI since you called, I’m on my way back to you! Bouncin’ in the club where the heat is on, all night on the beach till the
break of dawn! When I get back from SOUTH BEACH, I’ll be energized for the
rest of the month. Last but not least, the month kicks off right with two
nights at THE PUB in Harrisonburg, VA. Thanks to all our Harrisonburg Road
Warriors, you pop up everywhere! WE LOVE U!! So make plans to put a SOULED
OUT PARTY on your schedule of things to do for the month of April. So until
I see you, remember LIFE is a blessing. You owe it to yourself to ENJOY it
every chance you get.
March 2009
Well fam', only
a couple gigs for the month of March. It’s been a while
since we played a night party in Berryville. This
Saturday night, Berryville show us what you got. To all
my FRONT ROYAL CREW, I was looking forward to turning it
out once again but situations out of our control came
up. Hope to see you all at a show near you . I miss
ya’ll already. Of course, I can’t wait till Sweet
Caroline's (Part 3) at the end of the month. Before
that, we’ve got Two Weeks Off!! So everybody rest up
because we’re coming back at cha in April. To recap last
month: It was (Part 2) of the NEW Non-Smoking Sweet
Caroline's and it was JUMPING! Mom even had to come out.
The Sweets Crew are the originators of FREAKY FRIDAY and
nobody does it on a Friday night like YOU! Good to see
the return of some familiar faces. The Harrisonburg Pub
was the craziest as always but it didn’t get BUCK WILD
'til around 12:45AM. Why did ya’ll wait till so late to
go ballistic? I wanna see the party get started EARLY on
April 3rd and 4th. The Strasburg Theater
Valentine's Party was a ton of fun with a ton of people.
Hey Strasburg crew, come April 25th, I bet
you can’t party harder than you did that night. Don’t
sleep on Lord Fairfax Community College. They apparently
have some party people over there too! I didn’t know. We
must do another event SOON! The Bunker in Leesburg gets
hotter and better every time. Thanks to all our
Sterling, Reston, etc crews that support us when we make
it to your area. So until next time, I’ll see ya when I
see ya!
February 2009
Hey Souled Out

Welcome to the family Souled Out virgins. Hope we broke you
in gently. A special shout out to the B-mo crew. We need to
do it again. February looks to keep the party rolling.
The return to
Leesburg at The Bunker should bring out some new faces and
new fans. We want to see our peeps at Lord
Fairfax Community College on Friday the 13th. For
the freaks, come and set up a HOT Valentines Night as we
party at the Strasburg Theatre. The return to Front Royal
(Part 3) at the end of the month should be on your list of
events not to miss. It’s always crazy at The Pub in
Harrisonburg (get a room!). For all our fans that can’t
stand the smoke,
NO MORE EXCUSES,
Sweet Caroline's is now a smoke free establishment! Tell
everybody Freaky Friday is back like it used to be but now

T-SHIRT OR HOODIE. Make it complete with a CD and a MONSTER
DRINK. We’ll hold up our end of giving you the gift of music so
come out and help us party like it’s 2009. Thanks to all our
fans who showed incredible support at all the shows this year.
You make what we do so much fun and like I always say, YOU are

year of entertaining US just as much as we entertain you.
Clarion New Years Crew, it’s that time again. Let’s bring in
2009 like only we know how to do it. Speaking of 2009, Souled

Whewww! October was sizzlin’! November is here, so I can’t wait to
see the action packed events this month. Middleburg Va. is new
territory, so come out and bring that Souled Out energy that only
our fans know how to bring. We’re back by popular demand in
Leesburg, Strasburg, and Front Royal to drop off some more funk. If
you’ve never seen us or heard us at the Pub in Harrisonburg, you
haven’t really been to a Souled Out Show yet. Don’t miss these shows
if you’re SERIOUS about having a good time. For all my church folks,
I’ve got more spiritual trax for your downloading pleasure on the
way. Right click, save target as- Let’s Praise Him! So until next
month, I’ll see you soon and remember SOULED OUT IS LOVE!!!
October
2008
October is Rocktober because the Souled Out band is rocking all
over! From the return to Front Royal and Shepherdstown to the non
stop parties at The Pub and Sweet Caroline's for Halloween. Because
of extra-ordinary freakiness, we’ve added the FREAK LIGHT along with
the FREAK BELL and THE WHIP. I’ve been crankin’ my IDJ2 mixer during
the breaks to ensure as I always say, the party don’t stop just 'cuz
it’s intermission. Sad news, the Souled Out thongs are all gone!! If
you didn’t get one ladies, we might get more next year. All my fans,
new music is continually coming for download on my website so enjoy.
Remember if it’s cool outside, come inside for some hot music, hot
people and some hot funk and soul with the SOULED OUT BAND AND
SHOW!!! PEOPLE LET”S GO!!!!

too much this month. We'll try to keep the music HOT regardless. Thanks to

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

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.

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!

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!

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.
