Europe was a Success! back home...

Hello again good people of cyberspace.

I am writing again to let you know that my tour in Europe was a huge success.
3 weeks. 6 shows with a full band. 10 more solo - just me, a guitar and a mandolin.

Sweden was wonderful - I played with a great band from Gothenburg called Little Green www.myspace.com/littlegreenswe. We played Gothenburg, Stockholm, a great Country festival in Sunne and some other great club dates. There is a great article about our show in Uppsala on www.countrywood.se


Finland was unbelievable. I played a great concert in Helsinki and then one of the classic rock clubs there too - the Liberte. I also met up with some of the great musicians and DJs that will help make my next rip there great.

Then onto the Netherlands where I did some great shows with a wonderful Dutch singer/songwriter Eric De Vries. I played live on the great radio show with DJ Gerrit Vermeij at www.muziekvenster.nl. And I recorded a live studio performance with on Ditch national Radio with DJ Paul Harvey which will air on Roots Radio 6 on 3/21. I even met up with some cousins I have never met before. My Dad's family moved from Holland to the USA after World War II. So it was an inspiring homecoming of sorts.

And my shows in Belgium were wonderful. I played a really cool little honky tonk in Lauwe and an incredible show just outside of Brussels at the historic Toogenblik. Youtube videos are up from that show already - and there was a great review of the show that is online as well at www.rootstime.be.

Here are some of the youtube clips of my performance taken by Roen Het Zwoen:

Thanks you to all the promoters, DJs and friends that made the trip possible. And thank you to all the friends and fans in the US that wrote some great and supportive emails to me while I was away.
You all are the reason I am traveling and making music. So Thanks!!

I also have a new last minute L.A. show to mention -
3/5 Friday 9pm - midnight at The Prince Of Whales in Playa Del Rey
335 Culver Blvd, Playa del Rey, CA 90293 - 310.823.9826 www.princeowhales.com

and the new Shooter Jennings record comes out on 3/2/10 ! The record is a real departure from our earlier stuff and we are all very excited about the new sound and the new songs. Our calendar is starting to fill up and it looks like this will be another great year of touring. So please stay tuned on www.shooterjennings.com fro our tour dates.

And my new record is still in the works. I am hoping to have it out by the Summer or early Fall.

Thanks again, one and all,
singing off
Ted
