Offiical Showcase at Folk Alliance

Shannon Wurst and the Revolving Doors will be showcasing at the International Folk Alliance in Memphis this month! 

A Song a Day

Hey all you songwriters out there...I just finished a personal challenge, and I highly recommend it! For seven days straight, I woke up and wrote a song. Now, I didn't say they were great songs, but it certainly got my creative juices flowing! I think a few of them might be keepers, or atleast good first drafts.  Let me know if you decide to try this!

Snowman Kits and Pre-Order

 



LIMITED EDITION: SNOWMAN KIT AND PRE-ORDER




Just in time for the holidays!

I have BIG NEWS!  I have decided to record a new album in April in Montana.  I have been working really hard to finish up all my new songs to get them to you as soon as possible.  In order to make this project happen, and to reserve the studio, I would like to offer a pre-order to you.  Your pre-order will litereally help pay for the cost of recording, mixing, and mastering.  I will need to raise about $6,000 for the first phase. So....

I have created these Snowman Kits (with kid's CD) and for limited time you can get one when you pre-orderd the new album!  You get the snowman kit now (order before Dec. 12th) and the album before it is available to the masses.  They are $35, including the pre-order.   

I will keep you up to date on the progress of the album planning as it happens. I can tell you that I am working with a very talented group of folks and I think this album will be the best I've ever done.  This new batch of songs have taken a life all of their own, and I would be so grateful to have to be part of this process.

Where is your favorite place in America?

 With the end of the year approaching, I am contemplating the areas I would like to return to for touring, new areas to tour, and places I would like to vacation just for fun.  I plan to be in Arizona, Idaho, Montana area in April.  I visit the northeast at least once a year. I have an opportunity to play my first Atlanta show this summer. Where else should I go?  Know anyone in that cool place who would like to host a house concert?  I have lofty dreams of visiting Ireland, New Zealand, Barns across American, and all of the "World's Largest" across our Country.  Where is your favorite place in America?

Arkansas Earthquake

 WOW.  I can't believe that I have felt two earthquakes in the last few days here in Arkansas. No damage, but it felt like a bulldozer was trying to tear down the house, or the washing machine was off balance again!  There was a low rumbling hum that lets you know you are so powerless and small when it comes to this big old world of ours. Well, I am grateful everyone is safe. I am wondering if the cause was all the fracking in Oklahoma and in Arkansas? Any thoughts?
