Yo folks ,
Its Amp We have been havin a ball out here . So far the best gig has been Chicago ... Sorry Detroit but all my peeps would not come out to Pontiac so it was good but not like usual , besides  We were booked at a small venue . Hmmmmmmm. Gotta take what u can get these days . On the other hand Chicago was off the hook and mostly people who didn’t know us . Live live live . Part of it also has to do with the sound which was not to good in Detroit . LA was also good . Baby Stone opened and had a great show especially since her Dad showed up . Whew (Sly Stone) was amazing . But the highlight was meeting up with my all time friend Leon Ware .

As the long Easter weekend kicks off, Amp continues his tour across the States. Tonight he’s playing at the Highline Ballroom in New York, with support from Tortured Soul. Tickets are available for the show by clicking here.

Tomorrow, the show heads to Washington DC at the 9:30 Club, then onto Philadelphia at the World Cafe Live on Sunday.

Once again, massive thanks to all those who have been to one of the shows so far, and all those who have been helping spread the word about the shows on music blogs etc. Keep up the great work! There has been an overwhelming amount of positive responses coming through, and another tour can’t be far off.
Also, any photos you have keep posting them. Here’s some we had through from Sarah at Radio Milwaukee of Amp’s show at the Double Door in Chicago.

Just a reminder that if you want copies of any of Amp’s albums or other merchandise, you can get them through his online store. Now also available are limited edition copies of Amp’s first ever album, ’Mr Fiddler - With Respect’. click here for store.

Have a great Easter weekend x

Absolutley loving being back on the road again here in the States. Last night we played in Pontiac which is always a special one for me being from Detroit. Thanks and love to all those who came out for the show, and indeed for all the other ones we have played so far.
Me and the rest of the crew are on the tour bus now heading to Toronto for the show tonight at the Mod Club Theatre. Really looking forward to it.

A couple of other things...
We’ve got a limited number of copies of my first ever solo work available. Check out my online store and get yourself a copy of the album Mr Fiddler - With Respect!
