Happy Holidays Everyone!
I hope everyone’s holiday season has been safe and happy!
Rev Coffee on Wednesday nights has been excellent!! I know that I’ve been noticeably absent for the most part from Open Mic for the past month… I have been stopping by!! I just haven’t been able to stay. We’ve had a steady amount of players every time I’ve been in. This past week (which I did stay the whole time to run the system :D ) we had 12 different players/groups. We had a good jam session with Dale’s time slot about half way through and then we had an awesome drum jam at the end headed up by new comer Ismail. The energy was amazing and I encourage all of you to try to make it out some Wednesday to enjoy our local flavor!
Gigs coming up for Minutes to Live!! We’re playing at Rosebuds on the 21st and should have a gig at Caribou in Marietta sometime in the week of January 11th. I have a gig at Rev on the 15th, which Mike might come and play with me, but I haven’t gotten a definite on that yet. We’re adding some percussion in the new year, so watch for new recordings! Also, Mike’s bound and determined to get some video feed up on youtube in the coming month. J
We’re still looking for a bass player for SNM. Until we can find a good and reliable one, I think we’re going to put the project on hold. Playing with a full band in the last couple of months has reminded me of how wonderful a full sound can be and how important having people you share not only a common goal musically with, but a common life ideal as well. Hopefully, we’ll find a bass player who will be a perfect fit soon!!! If you know of anyone or might be interested in the position yourself, drop me a line!
Alright everyone! Have a safe and fun New Year!
Peace, Love, and Music!

RevFest 2009 Rocked!!
I laid wide awake last night thinking of the events of the day... Wow... Revfest 2009 had to have been the best festival I've ever had the pleasure of helping run. Murphy's Law states "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." While this particular phenomenon reared its ugly head from time to time yesterday, the crew took it with the ease and professionalism that could only be described as Rev Fashion.
Musically, I believe everything went very smoothly. We only had 3 acts cancel, but two were within enough time to replace easily.

I started out the show around 12 with the welcome and a raffle (me and my amazing speaker skills... right....) and then Jaime Quiñones and I transitioned into my own set of originals. I'm pretty confidant with the way things sounded. :)
Next, the amazing Taylor Tutt, a last minute replacement for Low June, entertained the crowd with his acoustic guitar slapping.
Mika and Robert jammed out with the keys and guitar doing their famous cover duets and were followed by Arise the Light another acoustic duo comprised of James Fulford and Scott Hall.
Teel Montague Cook filled in for a last minute cancellation due to a stomach virus carrying Hill Roberts (hope you're feeling better!).. so thank you Teel!!
Next we had John Michael Rose who's new CD The Portrait is currently in production. Please check him out at www.JohnMichaelRoseMusic.com; you will be a fan!
Then Rachel Leigh wowed the crowd, like usual, with the keys. She will be in the Eddie's Attic shoot out on November 2nd. (Tickets are available now at www.eddiesattic.com) Good Luck Rachel!
Jeremy Taylor jump-started the full band category for the day with an impressive show and was followed by Teel's encore performance. Teel always amazes me with her love of kids and music. She definitely made two girls’ day by taking time out of her own set to play a song for them to sing together for their grandmother.
Michael C Smith a long time mutual friend of Gary Hamrick and myself who I've been trying to get to Rev for over a year, finally made his first Rev debut!
This was followed by another Rev debut by Julie Gribble.

Both Julie and Michael were definitely worth the wait and I hope will both become regular performers at Rev. :)
A newly formed band under direction of local artist and songwriter Aaron Whitehouse was next. I was super impressed, especially with the cello. I look forward to hearing the three of you out again soon!
I'm Chinese totally rocked out after that to a pretty good sized crowd. I really can't express how great these guys were... Nick showed tribute by setting off fireworks. ;D
The impressive styling of Nancy K rounded out the acoustic sets and then joined The Law as they popped their band cherry in their first public performance!! I was super impressed and am looking forward to their debut album coming out within the next few months. They have definitely gained many fans last night, including me!
I want to thank Rev Coffee for hosting this even and all of the participants for coming out and making RevFest a great success. I'd also like to say a special thanks to Onewithit.com.
Peace, Love and Music,
Kerry

New Directions!
Hello all!
So I’ve been super busy with the new band over the last few. We’re starting to come into our own sound, which is exciting. So far, we’ve completely gotten down Stupid Girl, Sober, and BYOB (I know, you’re all waiting in anticipation on how exactly I pulled off two of those… lol). We also have one original in the works with a second right around the corner. It’s very exciting to be in a full band again! I know that this is a huge growing opportunity musically!
Minutes to Live hasn’t gone away! We actually have a gig at Caribou Coffee (1275 Johnson Ferry Rd, Marietta GA) on Saturday from 1-4. We also keep expanding our playlist by leaps and bounds! For the next month, Mike will probably be pretty busy with his wedding (congrats Mike and Dianna!), but when he gets back from everything, we will be playing out a little more frequently. J
Alright people! I expect to see some of you out on Saturday!
Peace, Love, & Music!

Lots of Things!
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!
