Hi friends, just wanted to wish a Happy Mothers Day

Hi friends, just wanted to wish a Happy Mothers Day to all of the women who give so much of yourselves in doing the most important job in the world...being Mom. My wife Lisa is an awesome mother and our children are a reflection of her loving effort...I couldn't do what I do without her. And my Mom has been a solid and constant source of support for me and remains my biggest fan. I hope all you Moms had a great day! rock on, kc

Hi friends, what an amazing first weekend!

Hi friends, what an amazing first weekend! Making our way across the southwest on our way to Los Angeles brought back special songwriting memories for me. It was spring of 1976 and I was pulling a U-haul trailer filled with all of my worldly possessions, (including a large potted plant named Robert). I wrote lyrics for "Roll With The Changes" on a brown paper bag as I took the scenic route from Albequerqe to Tuscon on the way to my future home in Southern California. Tucson is where "I heard the thunder clappin', felt the desert burnin', until you poured on me like a sweet sun shower." We had three awesome shows in Albequeque, Tucson and Vegas, and we cap off this weekend at the beautiful Greek Theater in LA tonight. It is always exciting to play here, but the best part is I get to see my wife and kids, and actually sleep in my own bed tonight, as long as I avoid being skewered by one of Terrible Ted's flaming arrows! rock on, kc

Hi friends, To all the great fans who post here asking us to bring the tour to your home town I must say that we want to play EVERYWHERE! If we had our way we would play in every city in America, in the World for that matter! We love you all. The decisions about where the tour stops happen among the local concert promoters, booking agents and band managers. They all know how we feel...book us everywhere! We are trying, but if we can't get to your town, I say get together a group of friends and make it an REO road trip weekend! Come out and see us, YOU DESERVE IT !! rock on, kc

Hi friends, Nuge took the stage at 7:00 last night signaling the beginning of The Midwest Rock'n Rol

Hi friends, Nuge took the stage at 7:00 last night signaling the beginning of The Midwest Rock'n Roll Express Tour 2012. We are now officially on our way to rock America. This tour reminds me how fortunate we all are to live in a country where everyone can express themselves freely. I truly believe that one of our main strengths as a country come from our ability to listen and discuss divergent points of view without fear of reprisal. I feel we can learn a lot from those with whom we disagree, and that we need to come together as Americans and do all we can to discover the common ground upon which our future can be built. (Dang, I sound an awful lot like a politician, but I can't help it, that's just how I feel.) Anyway, the trucks and busses are humming, the sound system is roaring, the guitar amps are screaming, the band members are chomping at the bit and ready to rock...now all we need is YOU! So come on out and rock with the big kids. See y'all soon, kc
