THE HSH TOUR BEGINS! FROM SHANE: This week marks the beginning of the Home Sweet Home Tour, where I will be touring with three other acoustic acts, performing in their home states from New York to Nashville and back! We are all booked and set to perform a 17 show tour in 18 days. We're performing at some great venues, including the Hard Rock Cafe' in Nashville! The tour will come to a close in my home state at Richmond's Capital Ale House Music Hall on July 24 and The Taphouse in Norfolk on July 25. Everyone involved in the tour has been working really hard to get people to come out and show support, and I particularly want to get a great crowd out when we come to Virginia (Maryland too!). Come on out and let us know we picked the right state to celebrate the end of our tour! I want to say a special thanks to all those who contributed to Kickstarter. We met are goal and we couldn't have done it without your help! We are looking forward to seeing you at a show. The Home Sweet Home Tour is the brainchild of The Melillo Brothers. They deserve extra credit for dreaming this up and making it a reality. They also deserve a big congrats for recently winning the Emergenza Fest in NYC. They will now move onto Germany for the International Finals. Great job guys! - Shane NEWSPAPER ARTICLE 'Musically Dreams Next' by Rob Hedelt - 5/20/2010 "I've been exploring more of a rootsy, folk feel in my music recently, and the songs on this recording just followed that," said Cooley, noting that his new musical collaborators sang and played the dobro, mandolin and more on the new disc recorded at a studio near Ocracoke. read more...Other News.... |
