Hello!

I have been busy in the studio working on a follow up to "Music For Lovers & Fighters" which I am really excited for you to hear. I'm hoping to have the new album in your hands by the fall! I'm also out on the road this summer doing festival dates with Kevin Costner & Modern West! Details here....

I spent February and March in Europe on a 30 date tour with Kevin Costner & Modern West where I was the acoustic opener in addition to singing a featured duet with Kevin and the band each night! That duet, "Let Me Be the One," is a beautiful love song written by John Coinman, and it is the first single off of Modern West's new album, Turn It On (now available in Europe.) We played shows in Spain, France, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, and maybe a few more I'm forgetting! One of the coolest moments on the tour was playing "Let Me Be the One" on the German TV show, "Wettan Dass?" You can check out our performance here. KISS and The Pet Shop Boys also appeared that evening, so I got to learn Gene Simmons' onstage dance from Gene himself. It was hilarious! On the video page, you can check out some fan-posted footage of my solo set.

A music video for "Let Me Be the One" has been released in Europe and is also up on www.kevincostnermodernwest.com. Most of the footage is from the October tour I did with the band, so you can get a feel for the amazing crowds we played for! The crowds on this last tour stepped it up even more!

Thanks for listening!
