And then on May 18…my first born baby Emma June Kimbrough graduates from Hillsboro High School. My little 3 lb 6 oz tiny first baby is an award winning artist, a talented writer and actress and going off to college soon. I am so proud of her, words cannot capture the feeling.

My second born baby Sadie Ann Kimbrough kicked major butt today playing Bach’s Prelude in C Major at her piano recital! More indescribable proudness!

I will be at Callaghan’s Irish Social Club in Mobile, AL this Sunday May 5th

Sam Baylor is also playing Callaghan’s.  He has a new CD that is great, so this will be a good one.

See you in Baton Rouge—y’all know how much I love playing the Red Dragon…and see you in Mobile at my hometown home, Callaghan’s.

I had fun playing with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band last weekend.  It was a total blast to play with those guys and play in front of that crowd.

Getting closer to having the artwork done for my new CD, “Sideshow Love”…I’ll keep you informed as it develops.

Recording with Willie Sugarcapps this coming Monday!

It’s free.  It’s a killer band.  If you aren’t there, I will just assume one of two things:

1.  You just don’t like music

2.  You live too far away

See you downtown Nashville this evening!

I WILL be sitting in with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band tomorrow night, Sat April 27 at Bridgestone Arena.  Wave and I’ll wave back.

Next show for me after that is the incredible Red Dragon Listening Room in beautiful Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Fri May 3rd.  These are always magical nights.  I know I’ll be there.  Hope you can make it.

And then Sunday May 5th brings another Callaghan’s Irish Social Club show with Sam Baylor (Sam’s Instant Band)—these are inspired and great shows, too.  See you there in the Port City.

From there it’s back to Nashville for May 9th Station Inn show with Brigitte Demeyer, Chris Donohue and Brady Blade—I’m the opener—last time I had very special guests and it was an absolute blast.  Then Sat, May 11th, I’ll be at the Red Door in Columbus, Ohio—great listening room gig—I am very much looking forward to that.

May 13-17 I’ll be on the road with Freedom Sings—the musical appendage of the First Amendment Center–a truly awesome organization dedicated to educating people about their freedom of speech.  Founder Al Neuharth passed away last week, and these shows (in Florida, Washington, DC, and North Dakota—-more details as I get them) are a tribute to Al’s lifetime of work to make citizens aware of not only their freedoms, but the history behind the laws that guarantee us these precious rights.

And then it’s graduation time for a certain award-winning Hillsboro High School International Baccalaureate Student I happen to know very well!

Come to a show and get a brand new “Will Kimbrough Is An Alien” shirt OR a brand new Willie Sugarcapps shirt and hat!

New CD artwork in the works.  Coming soon to a merch table near you.

I’ll be back at the Frog Pond at Blue Moon Farm TODAY, Sunday, April 21st.  Gates open at 3; the show starts at 4.  Very special show:  I’ll be sharing the stage with my cohorts Grayson Capps and Corky Hughes, with Spencer Bohren (with whom I’ve had mystically inspired Pirate’s Cove and Frog Pond shows—-if you haven’t seen Spencer live, you’re missing an American/New Orleans master of music and art), and with Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion.  We played some shows last Summer with Sarah Lee and Johnny, while I was touring with Emmylou Harris—they were out with Arlo Guthrie and the Guthrie Family.  It’s a very, very special lineup today, so I hope you will come out to the show.

I’m playing Margaritaville in Nashville this Fri, April 26—it’s an all too rare band show, so don’t miss it.  Live music should start about 9 PM.

The next night, Sat, April 27th, I’m sitting in with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.  Should be a blast.  It’s the first night of the tour.  Maybe we’ll try out a song from the upcoming album we just recorded in Key West in February…hmmm…

Just finished recording 8 songs for the next Brigitte Demeyer album at her place in Nashville.  Along for the (very fun and soulful) ride were bassist Chris Donohue, drummer Brady Blade, keyboardist Jimmy Wallace and guitar slinger Guthrie Trapp, along with knob twiddlers David Z and Sean Sullivan—a true collaboration—I wrote 7 of the 8 songs with Brigitte, and they’re such great songs.  I can’t wait for you to hear them.

So—great stuff bubbling up…new album is finished.  Working on the cover art now.  Then I’ll pick a release date.  It’s called “Sideshow Love” and I love it so much.

See you at Frog Pond and beyond…

kisses,

Will

Looks great, right?

and here’s the show poster one more time, in case you missed it before:

See you there!

Also, Sunday, April 21, will be a very special show at the Frog Pond at Blue Moon Farm—I’ll be sharing that sweet stage with some of my favorites—Grayson Capps and Corky Hughes—Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion—and Spencer Bohren—-so we’ll be combining Gulf Coast grit with true Folk Royalty and New Orleans tradition—with songs and sounds all our own.  Silverhill, Alabama

Every little bit helps.

Mixing continues on my new “Sideshow Love” album.  It sounds incredible, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

See you at The Frog Pond at Blue Moon Farm April 5th with the amazing Mary Gauthier and the incredible Grayson Capps!!

Willie Sugarcapps rides again April 19 at Bud and Alley’s, Seaside, Florida (I guess it won’t suck to be at Seaside in mid-April…!)

By the way, I recorded my Sebastapol, California show the other night, using the mindblowingly great Universal Audio Apollo interface—stick with me here, hear me out—i used it not only for a wonderful sounding interface for recording, but also as a preamp for my voice, guitar, guitar amp, and ukulele.  So basically, I pre-mixed and sent all the signals to the front of house sound man (the very talented and helpful Peter), and BAM!  we had great sound for the audience AND the hard drive.

OK, see you on the Gulf Coast—-I have new tour dates brewing—so keep your eyes on my tour dates page.

peace
