Steve Simmons & Owen Temple

Steve Simmons — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:13:13 GMT

For all of you that want a great time this Friday night come out the the Simmons Farm for my song swap with Owen Temple. Owen and I have done a number of gigs together and he's great and, a lot of fun. These acoustic gigs have turned out to be some of the best entertainment in East Texas. 100 to 200 people with lawn chairs and great singer/songwriters. So, come on out to our place on 12003 FM 346 West, Bullard, Tx for a fun easy going evening of acoustic music. Call 903-894-3535 for more information.

First, thanks to all who came out Friday night for my song swap with Houston Marchman. The crowd was great and I think they enjoyed the music and had a good time. Houston and I had a great time.

Sorry to say that was turning out to be really good Texas Music venue has closed. We had a full band gig scheduled there this weekend and now it won't happen. Hopefully we can find another venue around here to do a full band show at several times a year.

House Concerts

Steve — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:59:51 GMT

It's been quite a while since I posted but here's what's going on. We played a private party for 650 people last weekend and it was really a kick. Thanks to the Flowers-Davis Law Firm for showing us a great time and having us play their annual crawfish boil. Great food, cold beer, of course great music and even a fireworks show. Along with Tony Marsh, our uncomparable guitar player, we had Richard Raines of Shinebox and Perfect Stranger play guitar and mandolin. We also used fiddle for the first time in a live show. Kevin Carter came up from Lufkin and man is he good. He's a sometimes player with Gene Watson. Cameron Holley came up from Austin to play bass and fell in like he played with us every night. Thanks to all those guys.

Acoustic song swaps begin this month. April 25th Susan Gibson is coming up to play with me. She is always fun and a wonderfuly songwriter. Most people know her from her Dixie Chicks hit, Wide Open Spaces, but she has written a lot of other great songs. She has a new CD coming out so we'll hear some new stuff. I have few new ones to try out as well.

Next month Adam Carroll is coming back and I'm really looking forward to playing with him. Then, in June Houston Marchman is coming. This is a real treat since Houston was really instrumental in getting me started. And, in July my friend Owen Temple is coming. All of these great songwriters have new CDs so keep an eye on the calendar and don't miss any of these acoustic shows.

Keep in touch and send me a message on the blog or at the myspace when you can.

Shelley King

Steve — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 13:17:53 GMT

This Friday Shelley King and I are doing a song swap at the Farm in Flint. If you haven't ever seen Shelley, you'll be impressed. She's a great singer/songwriter and I'm sure this show will be lot's of fun. So, if you're available on Friday come on out. This will probably be the last song swap of the year so don't miss it.

Bonnie Bishop song swap

steve — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 14:46:49 GMT

Thanks so much to all that came out last Friday night for my song swap with Bonnie Bishop. I don't think anyone went home disappointed. Man, can she sing. We had a great time. Bonnie was great and I got to pull out a couple of tunes that I don't usually do. We are thrilled with the response to our Texas singer/songwriter series and I tell you how much both Bonnie and I and all the rest of the songwriters we've had this year appreciate your support. You are the reason independent music survives.

Next month Shelley King is coming. Look her up on her web site, www.shelleyking.com. She's really strong.

Thanks again, Steve
