Dallas, Jan. 3: Only a day after New Years, having spent the holidays at my family's home in Portland, Ore., with the taste of champers still lingering.

Dallas, Jan. 3: I joined up with my band as we set sail for the first stop on the Nick Jonas & the Administration US tour. Naturally, we were to meet up with the Jonas' crew in Dallas, Texas -- Nick's hometown. Over this past year, I've had the privilege of spending quite a bit of time in Texas, and I must say it has a very special place in my heart.

Dallas, Jan. 3: Places like this local lunch spot, called Original Market Diner, are what always seem to surprise me. The ladies running the show were like the characters in 'Absolutely Fabulous'!

Dallas, Jan. 3: My four band members -- Alex Foote on guitar, Jay Foote on bass, Eric Bloom on trumpet and Jay Frederick on drums -- never fail to put on a good show, and they seemed to be quite a hit with the ladies too!

Dallas, Jan. 3: Our month-long run of dates got off with a bang at the Dallas House of Blues [with] the incredible Texan (or Dallasite, to be exact) crowd giving me a really warm welcome and a great home-away-from-home feeling.

Nashville, Jan. 4: After two nights in Dallas, the next stop was at the former home of the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. You can't even begin to name some of the folks who have played there! It was truly an honor.
