To the Whiskey Falls Nation,
Happy new year! We're kicking things off with a bang with some big news: The WF boys are traveling for 6 weeks with The World's Toughest Rodeo to present "Toughest Cowboy", a national rodeo event that is being filmed for producer Mark Burnett's newest reality television show to debut on Spike TV on January 29. This is HUGE!!!
You'll see the tour dates posted here and at
whiskeyfallsmusic.com. But for maximum information and fantastic video and photos, go to
toughestcowboy.com. Whiskey Falls will be performing before, during, and after each rodeo event and will be an integral part of the TV series that will air each week.
We performed our first event last night in Raleigh, NC, and it was OFF THE HOOK!! There was a 25 minute acoustic performance just before the lights went down and the show began, where we debuted our brand new song, "One Tough Cowboy", which the producers have chosen as the actual theme of the television series. And we performed this song with full lights and amps and drums and production...imagine Garth Brooks meets Van Halen surrounded by cow dung!!
And then, after two hours of the most competitive bronc and bull riding you'll find anywhere in the world, Whiskey Falls closes the show with a full 75 minute concert, complete with all your favorite WF songs and some surprises. And to top it off, we gave away one of Seven's personal Crafter acoustic guitars to the rowdiest audience member (the actual guitar he played last night during the show) and we'll do that each and every stop on the rodeo tour.
Come to one of these shows!!! It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us as a band and we'd love to share it with you.
Much, much more happening in 2009!!!
Love and music,
Damon, Walt, Buck, and Seven
