hey Folks!

I just wanted to let you all know about a show I am
participating in this Saturday, July 24, with a couple of my
songwriting friends, and I'd love to see you all out there!
Extra incentive... all my proceeds from the door charge and
my CD sales is being donated to the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society for MS research!! Here are the details,

Bill Nash & Friends featuring:

Me, Tracie Merchant and Kerri Arista

Bill Nash & Friends - the second annual premier Songwriter's
Carousel event at the Hideaway. The music is spontaneous and
magic. This July Bill brings two friends (and maybe even a
surprise walk-on or two) the Hideaway Stage. Let's give you
a little about each of them.

Bill Nash

"I've been listening to the eloquent songs of Bill Nash for
a long time now. He's one of those generous spirits that you
can't forget...!" -- quoted from Ken Gaines, host of the
Songwriter's Night Showcase, Anderson Fair, Houston, TX

Bill Nash has been a musician all his life. He was a 5-year
-old boy soprano, a 4th grade french hornist (played horn
all through college), a 15-year-old beginning guitarist and
then an 18-year-old guitar teacher, and a graduate of
Bradley University's School of Music, majoring in
composition. Bill began writing music and lyrics in his
early teens and his roots are firmly embedded in what is
now known as the singer/songwriter acoustic music genre.
He has performed styles as diverse as rock 'n roll, fusion,
country, polka, folk, and even old-time western music, ala
the Sons of the Pioneers, with a forte in story songs (ala
Harry Chapin).

Tracie Merchant

There is no doubt that Tracie Merchant's eclectic, acoustic
style is her own blend of life experience and emotion. This
songwriter's soulful and passionate voice will capture your
senses immediately. You can read Tracie's life in between
the lines, her lyrics intimate and empowering. As a part of
Poor David's Pub 25th anniversary special, she appeared
on "the Glen Mitchel Show", KERA 90.1, along with established
songwriters Max Stalling and Josh Alan. Tracie has opened
shows for Guy Forsyth, Trish Murphy, Shake Russell, Dana
Cooper, Vince Bell, Terri Hendrix w/ Lloyd Maines...has
shared the stage with Adam Carroll, Ruthie Foster, Cindy
Kalmenson, Butch Morgan, to name a few.

Kerri Arista

I think music is pretty important to everyone- Who doesn't
like at least some genre of music? I think you could search
the whole planet for a lifetime in search of the person that
isn't touched by music...you'd never find them because they
don't exist! For me, there is probably nothing more powerful
than music. (Except love of course, and I'll get to that
soon!) A great song can change my mood, give me energy,
soothe me, help me cook, and make driving in Dallas traffic
more tolerable.

Alexander's hideaway is a cool, retreat from the summer heat.
See you there!

Tickets for this event will be 12$ at the door and $10
reserved in advanced. Simply go to the website and send
