As I've stated before my principal gig is as Rhythm/12 String Guitarist & Vocalist with RELIX, and things have been busy busy of late!
5/28 we played the Wolf's Den Saloon in Marksville, LA for our 1st time and had a ball! The crowd was small that night cuz lot's of other events were competing there that night, but they did like what they heard and have invited us back.
5/31 was our annual show for the patients at Central Louisiana State Hospital. These patients are likely to never see anything beyond the confines of the facility and many have been there for 10-30 years, so we bring a little live show to them at least once a year to let them know they're not forgotten, and they are perhaps the MOST APPRECIATIVE CROWD we play for!
6/11 we return to Brewzerz after a 6-7 week absence (from when our lead guitarist injured his hand back on April 18th.) Brewzerz is pretty much our HOME and these are our people, so we're excited to be back!
6/19 we play an Antique/Custom Car & Tractor Show for the town of Ball, LA being held at Select Motors. Expecting a good turnout and gonna get to check out some awesome machines!
6/25 we return to Brewzerz!
7/2 we return to the Wolf's Den Saloon!
No telling what we'll be offered along the way as we get calls (sometimes even while we're already at another venue wanting us that same night!) But mid-July we'll be on a short break as I travel to Ohio with family and to go check out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
More news as I get it!

Even though I had joined up here right after the CD was released after Thanksgiving 2009, I'd kinda forgotten about this place and blew off messages to "upload songs", etc. About 5-6 weeks ago I gave it a try, and things have been picking up ever since! I've been ranked #1 on local charts (all genres and rock) and hopefully even if I drop it won't be far from the top! Sales here haven't been great yet, but overall through other sources (iTunes, AmazonMP3, Shockhound, Napster, Lala, Rhapsody, Limewire, IMVU, eMusic andin stores in Alexandria and Lafayette, Lousiana) including my myspace profile (www.myspace.com/offlymitz1). Since I actively gig with the band RELIX Ive also sold many copies at shows... So life is good! But, since I'm just getting things rolling here and seem to have been welcomed with open arms, I wanted to shout a huge THANK YOU to all of my new fans and listeners! I hope y'all have enjoyed listeneing and spread the word to your friends and fans as well (I know I'm recommending LOT'S of the amazing artists I've befriended here!)
Thanks again and PEACE! - JB
