You've Got A Fast Car

..So let's tour the nation and sing them songs.. :)


This experience with Due West has been nothing short of amazing. If you aren't aware, I'm on the road with them now on their radio tour. Let me be clear in saying that this is no, "Let's just see what happens if we were to try our hand at a radio tour", this is a full-on team effort of so many hard working individuals, all working toward one goal.. telling the nation it's time to "Set their musical compasses Due West". (Thanks, Mike Thomas!)

With every station, and I mean EVERY station, these guys are completely endearing themselves and winning over the hearts of the Jocks behind the mics and the staff that works hard to keep the Jocks behind the mics. "Jocks" (Disc Jockeys) and their programmers tend to be jaded and spin what ever they want to spin. Every single one has said, "this is the best thing I have heard come in to my studio," or "this is the best thing I've heard in ___ years.." And the compliments go on and on.

What a beautiful experience, to watch those you love most making their dreams a reality.

News is the guys just beat out Buckey Covington for "Download or Delete" on WKDF 103 in Nashville. WKDF is one of the largest stations in NASHVILLE, TN. We haven't even toured Nashville, because it's pretty much the biggest and the hardest to get into. We have barely toured Major Market radio. The buzz has gotten around and Due West is catching like hot wildfire.. the Majors are not only hearing about them, they're spinning them. NASHVILLE JADED RADIO is spinning them!! It's incredible. Completely incredible.

I just had to share, because I literally get to be the fly on the wall (I am repping the boys on the secondary market tour for the South and Midwest) on this amazing ride for a few days at a time. And this is the sort of thing that people tell stories about for a hundred years on the back porch and on telephones, in rocking chairs and beauty parlors and in journal entries that become biographies written about something extraordinary. This isn't your average successful radio tour. This is something bigger than we even know. I promise you that.


I'll keep you updated. xo
