Hi All,

Hope summer has treated you well.  I'm just gettin' my last BBQ in before the snow.  All though I do BBQ in the winter......this will be one of my last ones without having to wear mittens.

My summer was great.  Got to travel alot and meet some new folks.  Hook up with some old friends as well.

Mid October I'm going to be heading into the studio.  I'm heading over to jolly old England to do this one.  I've got some smokin' players lined up to play with me.  These guys used to back up Clapton, McCartney, Springsteen.  They are the best of the best in the UK.  I'm really looking foward to it.

I'm going to be hitting the road in November in the East Coast to promote the new record.  I'll have my good friends the Hupman Brothers and Mike Carroll backing me up.  I've been playing with these guys a lot lately and we are getting really tight.  It's going to be a load of fun to take them out on the road.  Those dates will be up on my website soon.

Also.  Just before Christmas last year myself and Ross Neilsen played a show at the Imperial theatre.  Calling ourselves "Thick and Thin".  Look for the DVD of this show to be out before Christmas.  We're just getting it all together now.

Anyway.  That's an update of what has been happening and of what's to come.

Thanks to all of you for the support. 

Oh yeah, almost forgot.

This week I'll be getting in a new/old album.  I rerecorded all of my original material from "One Size Never Fits" and "Solo at Sessions" in the studio with a band.  It's pretty much how I heard these tunes when I first wrote them.  Gives the songs a new life.  It's called "Second Time Around".  I'll get some samples posted up here soon.

Thanks again everybody.

See you on the road.

Matt
