Kari Smith - Singer / Songwriter - Monday, July 21, 2008

I know I just recently sent a message saying that I was getting ready to head back to Richmond in August... Well, scratch that... I am on the road with Dan Evans, whom you may have heard of from NBC's show "Biggest Loser - Couples" - he was on the show with his mom Jackie. After the show, he moved to LA, began pursuing a career in music, and is currently on the road touring and with distribution through Universal Records.

I am so fortunate to have this opportunity to be on the road, playing rhythm guitar and keys, and singing harmony vocals for Dan. Right now, our schedule includes North and South Dakota, including Sturgis (the motorcycle rally!), Montana, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Missouri, New York, and a bunch of other places I don't even know about yet - promoting Dan's new CD, which will be released September 30.

My record will be on a little bit of a hold until I can get back to Nashville for a few days, but it shouldn't be too terribly long… I'm just glad to be on the road playing music and making money again! We have the 4 songs that I'm recording ready to go, though, and once I can get back into town, I will track all the instruments in one day, then get the vocal sessions soon afterward.

So long story short, life is CRAZY right now! As soon as I get details about anything I will pass them on! We are tentatively scheduled to play the Virginia State Fair in September, so I will likely be home at least then! This all came about very last-minute, so I'm still ironing details out myself, and trying to adjust to life on the road. Living on a bus is not for the faint of heart...

Please keep in touch! I will be starting a daily blog so that I can keep in touch with family and friends – if you'd like to be included in those updates, please let me know!
