In September of 2007, I was asked to join Bryan Frazier's band as lead guitarist. Bryan is an extremely talented songwriter, singer, and guitarist, originally from Hot Springs. Since then we have written, learned, and/or arranged almost 2 CDs worth of original material and have played a number of gigs including opening for 'The Loft' out of Nashville. Extraordinary drummer Steve Lane rounds out the new band. Stay tuned as this project develops!

In January 2008, several musicians met and began recording what is to be Amy Jamison's first solo CD at Omega Sound in Fort Smith. The recording went very well and the song "Yes, I'm Ready" turned out beautifully. More to come in the future as this project develops.

2008 brought another rendition of the wonderful and fun BWDM. The band was leaner and meaner with a group of great (and familiar) musicians. It was short lived due to everyone's schedules but great fun while it lasted!

The Tapas was the brainchild of bassist John Davies. We played original improvisational instumental music that bordered on fusion, jazz, and world music influences.

On July 3rd, 2008, THE FREDS reunited for one show at the storied Whitewater Tavern in Little Rock. To mark drummer Chuck Horst's 50th birthday, the band enjoyed a capacity crowd of "Fred Heads" and blew the roof off the place. It was the first time THE FREDS had performrd together on stage in over 16 years.
