It’s going to be a busy Summer!
Well as Summer swings into high gear this weekend, we just got word of a few new shows in June. The highlights are our headlining show in Cincinnati June 12th at Riverstar and June 20 at Belterra Casino in Indiana with the Big Show MMA.
Speaking of the Big Show MMA, Lorenzo is now the Official Big Show Band! This means that aside from hearing our song as the opening Theme song, you will be hearing us throughout the show and seeing us live at every Big Show MMA event!
It’s going to be a great summer!
We’re still here…but we’ve been busy
Just got back home after a couple days in the studio. We are re-recording a few tracks from the last CD and adding 5 new songs including “Wonder” and “The Truth.” Feel free to post your favorite Lorenzo songs and if there are a few good ones that we are forgetting, we’ll add them too.
We will finish new stuff as soon as possible. Hopefully we will be done tracking by the end of February so look for a sneak peak around then or listen to “The Truth” and “Wonder” now at our myspace page – let us know what you think!

Ok, so I’ve been busy…
I’ve taken my break. Played with the dogs, now it’s back to work.
It all started when I got a call from Stuckey our road manager. He said that Steve and Jason from Lowa were interested in playing with me if I wanted because Lowa was taking a little break. Honestly, I never thought it would happen and dismissed it as “that would be cool but…” But as one door closes, another one opens.
Friday, October 3rd is a day that I have been looking forward to since I opened the rehearsal doors and met some new friends. Let me tell you a little about them…
Jason and I had talked between shows when Lorenzo toured with Lowa. It really seemed like we were living parallel lives. He had played in Grip, Inc and the Allknowing and made his great reputation by being a solid player and great showman.
Steve Jacobs has toured with Testament, played in Man Made God and other bands before Lowa. He is a true professional and an incredible drummer.
When I first got to the shop to meet and rehearse, it was just me on guitar and the new rhythm section – holy shit they blew me away. We could have played a show that night!
Meanwhile…Martin, our Guitar tech called and said he may have found a guitarist. He was playing at the Shadowbox Cafe and asked if he should see if he was interested in joining the band. Long story short…he did and he was and now he is our lead guitarist, D. V. White.
Finally, Jeff played bass in a prior incarnation of the band and is one of the best musicians and vocalists I have ever met. He is the icing on the industrial-strength metal cake.
So 3 practices later…October 3rd at the Madison theater, Covington, KY.
I think this is the start of something big!
We’ve been better…but don’t worry…
Ok, so I had to tell this little story because we were all laughing about it at practice last night.
Curt wasn’t feeling well (among other things) but like a trooper he still played on…We had to play without Jeff because he has some wrist problem that is keeping him from bending his wrists and therefore playing guitar/bass anything. So we looked over at Rob…
He said, “I’m fine.”
After a moment, he jumped back in…
“Wait, I have Lyme disease.”
Regardless of the fact that most people would remember say, if they had a life-threatening illness, but it seems to be no big deal to Rob. Turns out that he is on antibiotics or whatever and he should be fine – as fine as possible I guess…
I am doing fine (Jinx), so I will keep you all posted on everyone’s medical charts.

A busy weekend – shows, videos, limos…
So we played a couple shows last Friday and Saturday and woke up bright and early for the live shots for our video shoot on Sunday morning. We were really lucky…the day was a perfect 70 degrees in December (I love December in the Carolinas!). We shot some performance stuff in the middle of an empty field way out in the country. It is amazing how much you have to shoot for a 3:14 minute video. Then, it was off to the soundstage. I attached some picts so you can see what it looked like…I wish every show could look like that! Next up is the storyline footage. Director John Upchurch and his assistant Darren, will shoot that stuff soon. I’ll see if I can get some picts from that too.So enjoy the pics and we’ll let you know when the rest of the video is done. 
Hangin with Bucky
Part of our road crew is out with Bucky Covington, Jason Michael Carroll and Cole Deggs on the “Raising the Bar Tour” while we are doing the local in-store thing and last night they made it to Raleigh. So I decided to go say hi.
And I will tell you what…it was a great show! Who would have thought those 3 bands could sound as big and energetic as the rock bands we play with? I didn’t! The pace was packed (I wore cowboy boots) the bands played cover songs by Pink Floyd, Poison and REO Speedwagon. Crazy!
All-in-all it was a great night. I did my share of drinking with my new friend Paul from VIP Coach. So if those bands come through your town – it is def. a must see – Plus all the guys are incredibly cool, funny and possibly professional drinkers…
Till next time…
