Hello Everyone!
Just wanted to give you an update of everything that's been going on lately. I've successfully moved into my new place. There will be a house warming party at some point in the near future, so keep an ear out for that next month. I've had several gigs with Minutes to Live over the past few weeks including two parties, a wedding, and a few farmer markets! Our next show is Saturday August 29 from 7-9pm at the Amici Italian Cafe in Covington, GA. I will be updating all the websites tonight sometime hopefully to show this show, along with address. :)
On to band news.... I've been playing with Dan lately on originals, so hopefully we'll have something together within the next month or two... A full band play all originals! We have a perspective drummer and are currently looking for a bassist. We've already been working some of my older songs that I used to play with 18 Miles to Freedom... It feels great!
Minutes to Live will also be recording again very soon to mix up the sampling on our website (www.myspace.com/minutestoliveatl). We also now have a facebook page! So if you happen to be on either networking site, please add us!
That's about it in Kerry World right now. I look forward to seeing you all of you out soon!
Peace, Love, and Music!

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it...
Exciting times! I'll be playing for the next 3 weekends with Minutes to Live at various venues including the Riverside Farmers Market this Saturday at 10am and Caribou Coffee in North Druid Hills the following Saturday night! The following weekend, we have a few private events we've been asked to play, which means that we and maybe a few of you out there are doing a good job at getting the word out about Minutes to Live! On a side note, I'll be moving during this time to a great little pad near Rev. My new landlord is a great guitarist and we've been putting our minds together and contemplating world domination in the music industry... Mwahaha... So stay tuned my minions... errr I mean my willing followers... ;) Hope to see ya'll out in the next few weeks!!!

So last night was the kick off of a brand new project Nick came up for John and me to put together...a jam night at Rev. It was a great success! In all we had around 10 people show up with varying instruments including guitars, violins, banjos, bass, and several percussion instruments. We did round robin in a circle for a little over 2 hours filled with every type of music you could imagine.
The skill level of the musicians varied from just a few months of playing at home to ones who'd been playing the circuit for years. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement and intrigue as people milled in and out for coffee, stopping for a few minutes to checkout the eclectic mix of people sitting at the back of the shop.
I have a feeling jam night at Rev will become as much of an institution as Rev's Wednesday Open Mic.
I urge everyone to come out to Rev on Thursdays with whatever you can play (guitar, bongos, shakers, or even just your voice) and join our circle. :)

Happily Ever After
You know in my dreams
Everything always goes differently
Books and movies have poisoned our minds
Into believing in Happily Ever After
The question remains at hand
What exactly happens when you get what you want
Are you finally satisfied
Or do you go on seeking more?
Do you ever just want to throw it all away?
See if the next hand dealt might be
Anything or everything better than here
Can I close my eyes and wish for another day?
Stop all the talking
Some things you can't take back
Holding the tongue is a martial art
Only few have mastered it
I can't take the lapping of the niceties
I crave the storm on the horizon
Reach out my sands to invite it to my shores
Raise up and meet it with equal resilience
Can you take me with you as you dissipate?
On to the next universe
Fading in and out of existence at our pleasure
Molding ourselves to the fates

Rev Coffee Represented at Eddie's Attic!
Hello All!
So this has turned out to be a pretty interesting week. First I'll rewind back a few weeks and let you guys know how well the festival went. It was super hot, but we had some great performers and a really good turn out. I defiantly met some really cool people that I hope to stay in touch with in the future! Tomorrow, of course, I'll be at Rev. We have had some great new talent come in lately and I'm excited to see some of the bands coming up there. On the 19th, Cavan Cross will be performing and on the 26th, Rachel Leigh will be gracing us with her musical abilities! Talking about Rachel Leigh, both of us will be at Eddie’s Attic Open Mic on Thursday. I'll be there around 7:30, so come on out and support Rev's locals at Eddies!
Some updates on Minutes to Live... we have about 3 hours or more worth of material. It's everything from the 60's and up. If you have a party or event you'd like to have live music for, please keep us in mind! We have a drummer for larger performances and I'm currently playing bass on quite a few of the songs. It's actually pretty fun and I have definitely gained a lot of respect for bass players in general!
Otherwise, still working on the new album and trying to finalize the songs that will be on it. I do have 2 more songs I recently wrote. I've played one of them out and it went over pretty well with the crowd. :) I'm still trying to iron out the 2nd one, but I should be playing that one out pretty soon. Again, thanks for the support and I look forward to see everyone out soon!!
Love, peace and music...

Rockin' in the Real World
Wow! What a great night last night at Eddie's Attic! I sang back up for Nimara on her song Funny Face and we got lots of amazing feedback. :) While Nimara didn't make it to the final round (this time), she was still a shinning star among some fantastic artist! The professionalism displayed by the artists was notable... I definitely took a lot away from the experience... including my own date to play. So make your calendars for August 31st at 7:30.
Talking about marking dates, the 2nd annual AIF music festival is quickly coming. It will be at Coan Park (1530 Woodbine Ave SE, Atlanta, 30317) again this year on May 30th, starting at 4pm. We have some great groups coming to play including Takiya Lovechild, The Divide, WAR, The Dawah Ensemble, and our ever favorite The Wayne Fishell Experiment. You can buy tickets and find out more on the festival website http://events.signup4.com/aifmusicfestival.
Also, I've finally gotten onto the twitter bandwagon... I really blame the ungodly amount of time that I spend listening to NPR. I figure if Jim Lehrer twitters... haha. To follow my musical adventures in real time, go to http://www.twitter.com/kerrywentworth.
Love and music!
