Been way too long.

Life as we all know can get busy and complicated.
I've been away from this blog for a bit too long.

So what have I been up too.
Well I've played a few open mic nights, played a few shows, played a few battle of the bands, and set up a very quick fund raiser show on the May long weekend.

The battle of the bands I took part in was fun. I met a bunch of people and made a few very good contacts. One of those contacts was with a private studio owner. It was cool we've been chatting a bunch here and there. I got in for a quick session and recorded 2 of my songs. So i now have 4 songs done solo, one voice and one acoustic guitar. I am hoping I can get back there soon and pin down 2 more songs. The 4 i have done are up on my reverbnation web site / page. you can check them out here www.reverbnation.com/kevinfrey  You can also find one of them up on iTunes. Plus I have a second one on iTunes and half of each sale of that one is going to a Youth shelter group in my area.

The fund raiser show was kind of neat. I opened the show and had a good friend Jenessa Dawn play second, Followed by local country duo The Command Sisters, and local rockers REND Finished it off.
With only having about 4 days to get every thing in place I had a little help from The Town of Stony Plain, they let us use a great out door stage. The stage Hosts for the last number of year the Blueberry Bluegrass festival.
The sound gear was lent to us by Music Center Canada in Spruce Grove. Many thanks to Allen for helping us out and lending his banner for us to show he helped.

So not to sure what else to say right now. I don't want to bore the snot out of any one. I will try like mad to keep a bit more up to date on things.

Almost forgot, Been tinkering with live web casts. have done 3 shows so far and the only disappointment I have so far is trying to get people to stop in and watch for the 15 minute mini shows I've been doing. I'll be back at it for one more on Tuesday the 23 of July 2013. In the evening about 8 pm local time. Here is the direct link to the show information http://www.stageit.com/kevin_frey/tuesday_night_busking_from_home_3/25862
You can sign up and log in for free. I will be doing my show for the first while as basically free. Pay what you can and there will also be a tip jar if you think I'm doing good. (don't let them know I said this ... but they give you a hand full of tokens to start with) The tokens on the site is what you can buy tickets with or leave tips with for each act you watch. I'll try and do up a review on stageit.com as soon as I can and after I've gotten a better feel for the site.

Keep on Rockin!
Have a great Weekend!
