BILL BLOG Tuesday, October 6, 2026    Hello Tuesday morning. 82 will be the high temperature in Music City today.   YESTERDAY I wrote a new country song with the Connor Brothers , Spencer and Hatcher along with my buddy Steve Dean.     The brothers have been out on the road touring but have a little break in their schedule that will give them some time to write new songs, like the one we wrote yesterday at their publishing company south of Nashville.   The brothers are from Virginia, and they have a bluegrass background.

Go Brew Crew.   Hard to not root for a baseball team that has mascot that used to slide into a mug of beer after each home run.     THE WEEK AHEAD I’ll be playing a private event on Wednesday evening for the Mercy Chef’s organization that provides great food for disaster workers and volunteers around the world.     This is the third year I’ve been blessed to be part of this as I was invited by Linda Davis and her husband Lang Scott . So, the three of us will sing some songs for the sponsors and donors w...

Here’s what I have as of now.   Thursday, October 15 is a private event to kick off the festival complete with music, and my favorite thing, a big ole shrimp boil near the water.     Friday, October 16 I’ll play at Taproot at 3 pm with songwriters Jerry Salley , Will and Barry Hutchens .     Saturday, October 17 I’ll be at Scallop Republic at 5 pm with songwriters Jerry Salley , Jeff Silvey , Dana Hunt Black .      Sunday, October 18 I’m at t...
