So here we are, our last year on this big rock. I finished out 2011 with a show in B/CS and it was a lot of fun. It was good to see some old friends and make some new ones. I was supposed to play MoMos again that wednesday but due to the club closing, i didnt get to play that show. 

Next weekend im opening for Brandon Rhyder at the Rio Brazos here in Granbury. That ought to be a good time. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance because theres a good chance this one might sell out. (by no means because of me. Brandon has a decent sized following.)

Im looking into maybe booking some more road gigs in the spring and hopefully maybe hitting the road for a couple weeks in early summer. More on that later. 

Yall keep checking in to see more exciting news from Camp Hooper (camp Hooper is just me. I call myself that sometimes)

Well, its been an awesome couple of months since the c.d. came out. I had a great time playing some release shows, and im overwhelmed by how well the record has sold. Thank you to everyone who has purchased a copy or told someone else to or even if you are thinking you might buy it at a later date, thanks for that too. 

If you live in the D/FW area ( or even if you dont) itd be pretty awesome if you would contact 99.5 the Ranch either via their website or the smartphone app. (its pretty easy to use) and request "between here and the stars." They are playing it on their late night show "The Vault with Shane Hollinger" and i was even fortunate enough to get to go in studio with Shane a few weeks ago. It was a good time. But it'd be even better if the other shows would play me as well. 

This past week I hopped in the car with Jason Eady and Courtney Patton and we hot footed it down to Austin for the Gibson Guitars Austin Backroom Bootlegs Sessions and recorded some videos, which are now up on the Videos link that i just now figured out how to make. Im pretty smart when something is idiot proof. 

Anyway, thanks again for all your support. Look for me in Austin, College Station, and hopefully a couple more places before the end of the year. 

Yall be good.

Alright alright alright ive got the cd and im ready for you to buy it. If you preordered on my kickstarter campaign (thank you!) I have already started mailing those out. The official cd release is Oct. 18th. You'll be able to get it on Itunes and Cdbaby.com and hopefully eventually almost anywhere music is bought online. 

There will be a cd release show at Momos in Austin on Oct 21st from 8-9. I would really REALLY like to see some folks come out and make it to where im not singing to myself. Ive done that plenty. 

Thank you everyone for your support. 

The new cd is recorded and ready to be mastered! Hopefully I'll have it out by mid September. Check back for updates.
