I just wanted to remind you to check the calendar at http://www.wilsonband.com/calendar.php

For example, you will find that I am at Mulligan's out in Lakeway Monday and Thursday of this week. And, the band is at Sullivan's Ringside this Saturday. I know that there are a ton of people I haven't seen in a while... This is a good week to reconnect.

Bring it!

Also, we have decided to change the name of the band. Mainly because we don't feel "Wilson" has the complete punch. In fact, I bet most of you don't even know the name of the band is currently "Wilson". ("Currently Wilson" could be a good choice for a band name..) Anyway, it's not uncommon for this to happen. The Almann Brothers changed their name a few times. They were the "Almann Joys". Then they became "Hour Glass". Followed by the 'Almann Brothers Band". The most recent change to "The Almann Brother" (thanks ray)

The deal is that we need a name. We have decided that we want to be "Matt Wilson and the...." See, we need to fill in the blank. That's where you come in. I would suggest a "contest'" to name the band. However, I'm not sure anyone reads these emails. So, lets just say that there is an "unofficial" contest to name the band. I can't wait for the suggestions to begin pouring in. By the way, Be Nice!

Everyone still awake?

See you soon,
matt

Thanks! We look forward to a great Spring 2008.

Cheers,
matt

my life recently became highly unproductive. that's right, football season is here. i feel directly responsible for the success of the Dallas Cowboys. so i spend a great amount of time monitoring their situation. (don't tell my management)

when i am not dorking out on football, i am playing a ton of music in austin and around the country. the past six months has been very busy for me, the band, and my show.

my band "Wilson" has played a steady flow of local Austin gigs as well as many private parties. a sincere "thank you" goes out to all of those people who have attended our shows and have allowed us to entertain you.

"Wilson" will be traveling to palm springs, ca at the end of this month. we will be headlining a major corporate function. in addition, we will be sharing the stage with some really talented musicians. i'll blog again as we get closer. stay tuned.

i have just completed the second stage of production of "My Baby Grand". this is a show that i began writing and producing about two years ago. we will be showcasing the show beginning in oct. if you are in the austin area, check in with me. maybe we will be performing the show. we are currently looking at some dates. we are all extremely excited about how cool this thing is. (if i may say so myself)

today i was cleaning my back porch. i decided to get rid of some old hornet's nest hanging from my roof. one of the nest had two little guys buzzing around it. i thought, "how much harm can two little hornet dudes cause? and besides, they are at least 5 feet away. AND, i am right by the back door."

well, let me tell you. within a second (yes, 1 second) of bulldozing their 1 bed, 1bath... STING!
right in the EYE! $%&&*^ and &^%$@!.

after 6 hours, a trip to the clinic, pain killers, steroids, ice, whataburger combo 1, and a canceled gig, i think i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. (literally)

so far, i am blogging once a year. i'll try to change that.

love,
matt

i'll be playing all around austin, so check out the calendar. come on out, and let's have a great time.

cheers,
matt

it has been a great ride. i have made many great friends along the way. to all of you, i send my love and gratitude for your support.

i will be returning to austin in august. after a short break, i will begin production on a new show and putting the band back together. i am looking forward to touring under my own name and getting my music out.

i hope to see all of you again along the way....

we are in cincinnati for two weeks.

just wanted to say thanks to all of you in cleveland who came out to the show. i was able to meet many of you. great people!

also, thanks for buying the cd. let me know what you think.

matt

just left east lansing and arrived this morning. we are here for 2 weeks. the 1st time this year to be in one city longer than a week.

for those that don't know, my new cd is out. "revolving doors" is what those in the know call it. check it out.

we will have a schedule for more shows soon.

keep in touch,
matt

cool stuff.

i have 4 songs off of the new album ready for download. go to the music page on wilsonband.com and follow the instructions.

we will make the page more exciting next week. but for now, i thought i'd let those close to me (you) get the 1st shot at the tunes.

the name of the record is ""revolving doors""

also...
for those that want to send me an email for ""my eyes only"", send to wilsontunes@aol.com.

i'll check back next week,
matt

i think that's how the song goes. i'm back in florida for the 1st time since moving away. after living in orlando for 3 years, i moved to austin in 1999.
it's good to be back.

i have had a chance to see friends and familiy. i will be visiting jellyrolls on mon night the 17th.

the shows here in tampa have been great. we will be in ft myers next week. so send me some love florida while i am here.

by the way. next week, big surprise. stay tuned.

i'm at the pool,
matt
