Matthew Davidson Band News

July  12, 2011

 Greetings! 

 

The only Summertime Blues we have are the blues songs we're playing.The summer's been fun for The Matthew Davidson Band, but it's going by way too fast. Our favorite places to play these days are ones with air-conditioning! 

 

Thanks to Tom Geddie from County Line Magazine in East Texas for the July feature on Matthew and the band. Click HERE or the photo below and scroll down to page 21 to read the interview. (Be patient...it takes a minute to download the magazine).

We're looking forward to returning to Texas on Sat., July 30th for a show at the Crossroads Music Company in Winnsboro. Details are included in an article below and tickets are on sale now!

 

What's next in Shreveport for the band? We perform on Friday, July 22nd from 6-8 PM at Madison Park El Chico. It's always a fun gig there. Mark it down and come out early to get a good table!

 

We're always looking for fresh ideas for places and towns to play..festivals, fairs, restaurants, family-friendly venues... If you're got a suggestion, please reply to this email and let us know about it. We appreciate the suggestions we received last week. Thanks!
