Happy New Year everybody.......and welcome to what could turn out to be a most exciting new year. It certainly is starting off that way. I'll start with a bit of sad news but mananger Matt Suhar and i have parted ways after a good 4 year run. It was just time for both of us to try something different. As sad as that is i'm very excited about how this year has started. As most of you probably know by now we have launched a coffee line " Michael McDermott Legendary Coffee"  We have our first signature blend and are preparing to have 3 more by next month. I'm heading to Indiana to pick out the blends and work with the roaster to bring you all the finest organic, fair trade coffee possible. For EACH BAG of coffee we sell, 7 MEALS ARE PROVIDED FOR HUNGRY CHILDREN IN AMERICA.  The hunger rate has increased by 37% since 2007 !!!

Heading out to New Jersey for LIGHT OF DAY on sunday.....for a quick trip......Heading down to Nashville on the 23rd for more recording with Lex Price.......I'm doing a show with Ex Mobster Frank Calabrese Jr. who wore a wire to help take down the Chicago Mob......Frank has a book coming out and we are going to do a show together.....music and the mob type thing.....more details are soon to follow......

Heading out to Los Angeles at the end of the month and some shows and some meetings.......and there's a ton of other things in the works that i'm just not at liberty to talk about......odd that a man of faith is so superstitious ......but i am.......

We're all in this together folks........i wish you the BEST 2011 and hope to see you real soon!!!
