Tuesday Update 9.26.06

Okay Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here is the deal, I am in a bit of a bind this week and am going to make this snappy...

There is only one thing that you need to know. We finished the mix of "Don't Get Too Close To Me" last week and will be mailing a link to download the song for free to all of my Street Team members this Sunday, October 1st. You can hear a clip at http://www.beaubristow.com/DGTC%20Clip.mp3!

Also, if you decide you want to be on the Street Team (which helps me with show promotion and a few other things) then go to http://www.beaubristow.com/streetteam to sign up!

Okay, I'll have a lot to update you on next week...until then "my heart is wrapped in plaster"...

Tuesday Update 09.12.06 (6 shows in 3 days, gas prices, silly Don Gato)

Yes! That’s right. I still have over 5 hours to get this done as a legitimate Tuesday update.

Where to begin?....

Okay, last weekend had me in Peoria, IL then St. Louis then Memphis. I must say that the Bradley University show rocked! Thanks to everyone who dropped in to listen. And to Ashley, Mike, Brian, and the rest of the guys that hung out afterwards: you are a blast. I’m already looking forward to next time!


In Memphis I walked in right before the show (after a brief pre-show nap in my car) and to my surprise there was on of my former guitar students! Daniel had a soccer tournament all weekend and so he was already in Memphis and decided to drop into the show...thank Daniel!

(Random fact: I am currently listening to Bruce Springsteen.)

Sunday I was in the studio all day finishing up “Don’t Get Too Close To Me.” It will be released to my street team in the next 2 weeks and I’ll be sure to post a short clip of it in my blog next week.

As for this week, I will be leaving Thursday for 5 shows in 3 days! Intense! I am rehearsing with the trio tomorrow because they will be with me in Georgetown, KY this Saturday.


Things to be looking for:

If you are in the Dayton area then listen for me live on air at WUDR 99.5FM (University Of Dayton) at 3:00 this Thursday! (That technically makes 6 shows his weekend, but who’s counting?)
If you are a student at the University of Miami in Oxford, OH then there may be an interview in the school paper this week. (It’s still in the works)
If you are in Lexington, KY at UK then you will definitely want to check out an interview in the Kentucky Kernel this Friday! Special thanks to Whitney for this!
And once again, you can catch the Beau Bristow Trio at the Festival of the Horse in downtown Georgetown, KY at 11:00 AM Saturday.


Now for the best part of last weekend: I got gas for $1.99/ gallon in the middle of nowhere Missouri! I had to drive a mile from the interstate and they only accepted cash, but it was awesome!

So, in case you are wondering about Don Gato....well I have an update. In the words of his owner (my manager Matt):

“Apparently Don Gato likes water. He chose to jump into an empty bathtub, after which we turned on the water and began to fill up the tub, and he just stood there until he was walking around in neck deep water (and enjoying it). So there you go… crazy cat.”



So there you go! Until next week....

Tuesday Update 09.12.06 (on The Run)

Tuesday Update 09.12.06

Okay, like I said last week: “who am I kidding...this is a Wednesday update...it always has been...”

I am going to be brief this time because I am in a time crunch. I have been working hard all day recording parts for a couple of songs I am trying to finish up and give to my street team as a way to say thanks for all the help. I still have a full day of recording tomorrow and I only slept 3 hours last night...tonight I may get 5 hours if I can get this done in the next 30 minutes.

That being said, here is a short clip from one of the songs...you may recognize it because it is off of Coffee Not Included, but this version has all of 7 guitar tracks plus bass and drums...no vocals yet and it is a rough mix but it should give you an idea of what is coming. (Click here to listen!)

And if you aren’t on the street team, you can join by going to my website (www.beaubristow.com) and then clicking on the interact tab. There is more information there and you can direct any questions to beau@beaubristow.com or streetteam@beaubristow.com.

I played in Tuscaloosa, Alabama this past weekend and I have a couple of photos that I will leave you with as I say goodnight:












Until next week.....

Tuesday Update 09.05.06...yeah right...

Tuesday Update 09.05.06

Okay, who am I kidding...this is a Wednesday update...it always has been...

Anyway, last week was a blur. I was in West Lafayette on Thursday night and Bloomington on Friday. Saturday found me in Terre Haute and tonight I played in Nashville.

The show tonight was called “chick singer’s night.” Of course you are wondering what in the world I was doing playing for that. FYI, I was the “are you man enough” segment.

Currently I am sitting here eating a salad and listening to Death Cab for Cutie. I have so much work piled up that I just need to get some sleep so I can tackle it all tomorrow.

That being said, I am gonna let you go (as if this is a phone conversation....and really, who does that fool?....”let you go?”...more like: “I’ve found something more entertaining than you so I am gonna go do that and assume that you are too dull to notice that I don’t want to talk to you anymore”....it’s kinda like the whole “it’s not you, it’s me” thing...really...it’s you?...well if it’s you then why are you breaking up with me!...shouldn’t you be breaking up with yourself or something....and what about the whole “let’s just be friends” business...what that really means is: “once I downgrade you to friend status I can date someone else without it being cheating”....what the crap?!!!.....by the way, if you have recently gotten any of these responses from anyone click here)


Until next Tuesday...or Wednesday...


Beau

P.S. Adding off-brand Cheetos may defeat the point of a salad, but they sure are a great salad topping...just so you know...
