The 3rd radio single from Old Scars & Sandbars, Pedal Down Life, was released 2/15/23, and was distributed by Smith Music and promoted by Powerhouse Promotions. It's about that one girl. You know the one. We all do.
The 2nd radio single Old Scars & Sandbars, Happy Thoughts, was released on 9/30/22, and distributed by Smith Music and Powerhouse Promotions. Some songs are challenging to write, but this was a response to an actual challenge to write a happy song. It peaked at #18 on the Texas Internet Radio Chart, and was in the top 20 downloads by Texas radio stations, for three consecutive weeks.
The first radio single, from the "Old Scars & Sand Bars" album, a 12 song collection of tunes I wanted to put on previous albums (the old scars), and ones I've written since living between the Laguna Madre Bay and the Gulf of Mexico (the sand bars). Also the first song I wrote, after becoming an "island man," in Jan 2016. Topped out at #48 on the Texas Internet Radio Chart, as a "howdy, how ya been," after not releasing anything since early 2014.
My highest charting single to date, written by frequent collaborator Heath Childs, and feat. Bart Crow and myself on vocals. Still one of my most requested and recognized songs at live shows.
Written by acclaimed Texas songwriter Mike Ethan Messick, recorded live under the production of Grammy Award winner Adam Odor (for his live engineering work with the Dixie Chicks), from the live half of Mark Allan Atwood & Brimstone's award winning 2013 album "Alive & Well," (TMA Live Band of the Year 2014) this tune was the fourth of four consecutive singles from Alive & Well to reach #40 or higher on all charts tracking Texas radio,at that time.
Ghost, named one of Galleywinter's Top 200 Texas Country Songs , and one of the most requested originals live, this video version is from 5/26/11 at the Marble Theater in Marble Falls, TX alongside Heath Childs, Mike Ethan Messick, Kevin Higgins, and John Arthur Martinez.
