Tonight: Preachermann & The Revival @ Kenny's Castaways - 7/29/12, 8:00 pm

Dear Friends:

Happy Summer! I hope all is well and you're enjoying cooler summer days.


If you missed Preachermann and the Revival at the Shring this month, you can catch us tonight (July 29th) at Kenny's Castaways in the west village at 8:00 pm. You have to experience it to believe it. Join us for one of the hottest shows in the city! (no cover)

Yesterday, I performed at a private event for Toastmasters (Hail & Farewell event) at the Hard Rock Cafe.  It was a lot of fun but however, something unexpected happened during the performance.  Here's the link to the video click: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uGKyBkFC00 
It's very funny!:)  I hope you enjoy it.


Take care and I look forward to seeing you at the show!

Much Love,
