Hello...Storytellers, Southeast, Summer (6-24-2014 newsletter)



Friends, Nobles, Countrymen:

I bid you all hello. I hope your summer is off to a good start. I am here to bring you good news, good tidings, and good wishes.

'Twas fun to get the Duke Street Kings back together for Naper Nights. Such a treat. Here's a video from the show:

Passed the 5 month mark of being clean and sober, and I'm getting my footing more and more each day. On and off stage.

The Los Angeles show was a hoot, so great to see so many of you there. Felt like I knew everybody in the joint. Derek Haas (author, screenwriter, creator of Chicago Fire and Chicago PD) was in the house. Musician and producer Joe Cassidy and ex Nine Inch Nails member Brian Leisgang were there. Actors Johnny Whitworth and Dominique Swain were there. Director John Kahn was there. Musician Denny Fongheiser (Surf, Mr. Jones. Fast Car) was there. Writer Kevin Biggins (Family Guy) was there. Chef Herb was there! And of course MAX was there!!!  Thanks to everybody else...though it seems like I just named half the crowd.

Been writing and recording like a fiend.

One of the main purposes for this email blast is to announce - THE HUMP DAY SHOW!!! Wednesday July 30th.....Michael McDermott 2nd ANNUAL STORYTELLERS SHOW.....the last one sold out....and I was sick as a dog....but it was a lovely show nonetheless.

We're starting now a two day "fans only" ticket buy. Because it's a Wednesday, I've agreed to take less dough and offer the tickets $5 less than normal. I wanna do anything I can to make sure you guys come out in force! This will be the LAST CITY WINERY SHOW until our Mischief and Mistletoe show XMAS Week.
I am also embarking on a Southeastern run that starts in Lexington, KY at Natasha's Bistro on July 15th (TIX). Then Eddies Attic in Atlanta on July 17th(TIX) and The Evening Muse in Charlotte, NC on July 19th (TIX).
 
We are planning on doing smaller runs like this through the end of the year....if any of you have suggestions on a 3 day/city run that makes sense....please let us know at mail@michael-mcdermott.com or by replying to this email.

THE WESTIES...will finally release their record.  We are close to signing a deal that would put the record out in January and have a record release show in December. (Xmas week)....Hallelujah....I'm thrilled that this will finally see the light of day.....

Figuring out what will be on the US release as we speak.....

Said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again.....

Thank you all..... I couldn't do it without you.....
