“Damned If I Do” on TRUE BLOOD next week!!

The July 18 new episode of HBO’s TRUE BLOOD series will feature my song Damned If I Do, from RED REVELATIONS!

As you all know, the show leads off with “Bad Things.” For
the July 18 episode — the plot details of which must of course remain mysterious — we’ll hear a few minutes (that’s a lot!) of “Damned If I Do” during the action. Perhaps looking at the lyrics will suggest what might happen (you can listen at Amazon or iTunes or other digital stores):

Damned If I Do
(Everett/Delray)

Late at night,
All I can do
Is walk these streets,
And think of you.
Time goes by,
But not for me;
So easy to preach,
But hard to believe.
And I’m damned if I do,
Damned if I don’t
Want you.

To taste your lips,
To touch your skin,
To hold you close,
And drink you in;
I should let you go,
But I don’t know how;
I’m no good for you,
And I’m nothing without.
And I’m damned if I do,
But damned if I don’t
Want you.

A Boat Load of News!!

Man oh man…. a lot of stuff to talk about! Actually, enough that I’ll be splitting some of this off into a different blog… Anyway…

First of all, Dan Cohen and I are headed to Norway tomorrow. We’ll be on the small screen, the radio, and the good old print media trail. (Music just sounds better in a newspaper). I’ll put the performances up on the requisite websites.

Secondly, “Damned if I Do”, written by myself and Stephany Delray, will be appearing in the July 18th episode of “True Blood”!! I know some scene details, but have made the typical “HBO Death Oath” and can’t reveal them. It’s gonna be kinky… but hell, it’s “True Blood”, waddya expect!

Third on the list of bofo announcements; a new music video for “One of Them” will be released in the next few weeks. It’s every bit as twisted and bizarre as the tune! Matt Blair, a good friend and fantastic film maker, will be delivering the finished product to me this very week! Stay tuned.

Last, but not least; recording for the new album will begin in August. Even better? You can come watch! Check out this link: MPI

That’s all for now, but check back for some more info on upcoming “True Blood” tunes and the beginning of the new record!

Whew…that was looong….

Finally finished up the “Spring” tour. Ostensibly, because it became summer before we got home. From Stockholm to Iowa City it was a hell of a run! Thanks to all the Swedes, Norwegians, Vikings, Irish, Scots, Brits, Welsh, and Yanks that came out to watch me sweat my ass off!

Now for a luxurious week off; laundry, yard work (damn gutters), laundry, family time, laundry, and of course…laundry.

I’ll be posting some more dates on Monday… ’cause the whole dang thing reboots for a “Summer Camp” run on July 3rd! Shows will include Norway, Oregon, and sunny California. Also, 2 NEW songs in “True Blood” this season. Stay tuned….

I’ve Been a Bad, Bad Boy….

I’ve gotten VERY lazy about posting on here. I just made a resolution to post here at least once a week hence forth. (Actually, the president of my label just told me that’s my resolution!)

Anyway, it has been a wild 3 months of touring. We have the night off in Iowa City, Iowa tonight. Tomorrows show is gonna be killer. I’m opening for Charlaine Harris!! Charlaine is the creator of the Sookie Stackhouse character and the Southern Vampire series of books which is the basis for True Blood. To say she’s been a blessing in my life would be a gross understatement. I can’t wait to see her again. If you’re around, then come see us!

VOLCANOES!!!

Not sure what in the wide, wide, world of sports is gonna happen this week as far as travel. This Icelandic volcano ( I think it’s spelled KKLTYRQYRT ) is really a pain in the ass. We’ll let you know what’s up as soon as WE know!

Hang in there!
