REMEMBER AUGUST 15 - NIGHTCRAWLER. New CD!!!
May. 19 The "You & Me" acoustic tour dates have been announced! These sets will be at small intimate venues with some special guests. Songs will be old favorites as well as previews of new tunes from Nightcrawler. Tickets for some of the shows will be on sale this weekend, plus there will be some more dates added. 
So keep your eyes and ears peeled! View "tour" for the schedule.
Also don't forget to pick up the latest Dixie Chicks cd, Taking The Long Way, out May 23rd (this Tuesday) featuring Pete on the sweet little song "Baby Hold On." Lyrics are now up here. Some quotes from the Chicks about the track:
Emily: That's a song touching on where we are in our lives and our relationships, trying to get your partner to be Number One in your life and putting the focus back on your marriage, as opposed to just being mom and dad. Kind of a "where are we now" look at married life.
Martie: I thought we'd write more about our families than we did. We're really good friends, but we don't always talk a lot about our personal lives - maybe out of not wanting to burden the others, or even just to keep a bit of privacy.
