Hey Everybody!

The man who makes things happen, Francisco at Munster Records, has let me know there are still a few copies of our Christmas 45 available. This was news to me because we have completely sold out of our copies here at home. If you're in Europe and interested in picking up a copy from Francisco, here is the information below. Thanks!!

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone that came out to the shows during my solo tour. The tour was an absolute blast and it was great to see everybody!

Special thanks to Freddy, the folks at Blitz Agency, my pal Diana, Gianni at Festival Beat, Dave at Saxon Recording and Francisco at Rock & Roll Inc. for making the tour happen. Y'all did great work!

Look forward to doing more solo shows in the future and finishing up my solo cd. In the meantime i'll be working with Jason and Todd on the new record by The Hi-Risers. We hope to have it out in the fall. We have lots of fun shows this summer coming up, so stop out and say hello!

Thanks and hope to see everybody again real soon!

Greg

I'm honored that The Skeletons are covering one of our songs, You Lie In His Arms (I Lie Beneath The Bed).

Watch Donnie Thompson, Lou Whitney, Joe Terry and Bobby Lloyd Hicks in action here:



You Lie In His Arms (I Lie Beneath The Bed) is a song i co-wrote with the amazing Nick Crews and it's on our cd The Fine Art Of Making Mistakes.

I love The Skeletons version! Listen for the three drum hits on the last verse. Alright, Bobby Lloyd Hicks!

These guys are truly the greatest.

-Greg

Todd, Jason & I want to thank all our friends in Spain for coming to see us on our recent tour. All the shows were a blast and it was great to see you all. There is talk of a tour in November, so hopefully we will see you again soon.

Thanks again! You've got That Rock & Roll Beat and we love you!

- Greg

We look forward to seeing all our friends!!
