BLUZ NEWS YOU CAN USE
FROM LIGHTNIN ROD & THE THUNDERBOLTS
Greetings.
Hope you are doing well. It looks like spring is almost here & we are so looking forward to playing some outside concerts and festivals.
The new album is in production at this time. We do not have a formal release date yet, but the good news is all of you that are signed up on our mailing list will get the first chance to get a signed copy. Stay tuned for details and ask your friends & family to sign up also.
We can reveal that the new release is titled, “Another Moment in Time”. The ten songs are filled with roots, rockin' blues and even a ballad. Songs of love, lost love & what might have been love. We can't wait to have you hear it.
Please check our calendar. It is always changing with more dates being added. Maybe we are playing near you, if so, we welcome you to stop in and say Hi!
Until next time, the Blues is Alright!

Hope you are all doing well, as you can see, I have been nominated for several Josie Music Awards. Tomorrow(September 1st), I will be at WKYR radio in Burkesville, Kentucky from 2-3 p.m. CMT for interview, spinning some tunes and doing a few unplugged songs. The next day on Saturday, the 2nd, we will be headlining the Monroe County Watermelon festival in Tompkinsville, KY. Hope to see you out if you are in the area!

Hey everybody, hope you are doing well. Usually it is said that the best is saved for last, well not this time. I was nominated recently for the Akademia Music Awards Hall of Fame. the nomination came on July 29 at the awards Gala in Los Angeles. (Check out the attached video link to watch, https://www.theakademia.com/gala-videos/0000198876.mp4).
The work continues on the new album (working in the Nashville area). We should be starting mixdown by fall. I'm very excited about this group of songs to say the least. a lot of love & sweat is going into this project.
You can find us performing at the Strawberry Festival in Tompkinsville, KY on September 2nd. The following Saturday on September 9th, we are proud to be part of the great line-up at “The Burg Blues Festival” in Brownsburg, Indiana. Stay tuned to my webpage for further updates.

Greetings,
Where did this year go? It seems like it moved very fast, and Christmas and a New Year are upon us.
The new Christmas song I wrote came out on November 14th, and several radio stations around the world are playing it. We finished the month of November #3 on the APD Radio Album Chart. We are currently holding at the #9 position.
Just a couple more dates to play in this year. If you would like us to come to your area, please contact me for details.
I have spent the past couple of weeks recording vocals and guitar on some new tracks. Don't forget to check out the store on my webpage. There are several different styles and colors of T-shirts, as well as ball caps. All the music is available for download as well as, physical copies of all the CD's.
We look forward to an exciting new year. Until then, we wish you a very Merry Christmas! Thank for your support and friendship.
