Happy First Day of Summer!!

In honor of the Summer Solstice I bring you this video to get you in the mood for the heat – and this song is SMOKIN’ HOT! (oh and so is Jessie James…Ahwoooooo!)

Dear Friends,

The Rowell Ranch Rodeo is celebrating it’s 90th Annual Rodeo this year. I’m really looking forward to it this year, the weather is gonna be perfect. So many cool events, like the Rowell Ranch Rodeo Parade, Annual Celebrity Team Penning & BBQ, Local Team Roping & Wild Cow Milking, and my favorite … THE CHILI COOK-OFF!!! This year, I’ve been chosen to be a judge. My Uncle Larry (back in Missouri) makes the best super hot chili west of the Mississippi River, and I pride myself on knowing good food when I taste it … which is very often, by the size of my pants. I’ll be out at the ranch tomorrow (Friday) at 5pm and I sure hope to meet all you good people out there. Bring on the chili, people … Eddie’s hungry

Dear Friends,

WOW! Another amazing Kenny Chesney concert is behind us.  What a fun show, with Lady A & Miranda too!  Beach Ball Free For All was “SICK” & I am still trying to recover 3 days later … it was well worth it & XTRA SPECIAL THANKS to all you Wolf Listeners out there who are not only part of The Wolf Pack, but part of the family.  I feel like we are all just a bunch of great friends who get together and celebrate country music   Check out some of the photo’s on my Facebook page:  http://www.facebook.com/kingeddie?ref=pr…

Also wanted to let all you Jewel fans know that she will appearing at The Warfield, here in San Francisco, on my birthday, Tuesday, July 28th.  Spoke with her briefly today, and she told me it’s an acoustic show, with just her and her guitar … SWEET!!! The show starts at 8pm, I will be there, and tickets are on sale now.  Here is a link to her website where you can get tickets and join me at the show:  www.jeweljk.com

I hope you all will listen in next Tuesday, July 28th to my birthday show.  I have no doubt Ken & Corey are planning something fun … and I have a little surprise of my own.

Be well, my friends … and I’ll see you on the radio – Eddie

Many years ago I met a really nice guy named Rich Eckhardt. We hit it off and every since we’ve been the best of friends. He plays in a band (you may know)…called The Easy Money Band..yep…that’s Toby’s band. Well, Rich Eckhardt is Toby’s lead guitarist for the band and he has his second Cd out. I was really super surprised when Rich asked me to be on his CD, so without question I said “Sure!” and thanked him so much for asking me to be a part of his CD. I had the opportunity to listen to the final project and trust me, it’s incredible. His first CD is called “Soundcheck” which is amazing (my favorite tracks are numbers 3, 6 , 8 and 9) and his recent one that is JUST NOW ready is called “Cottage City Firehouse”. I’m on this CD..woo whooo..I’m actually on the CD..can you believe it? OMG…I’m on track number 9 (tequila).

On his website you can hear clips of his new CD as well as hear clips from his previous CD “Soundcheck”. If you go to his website at www.richeckhardt.com you’ll see it in there. I do not receive profits from this CD just so you know. I am just so happy he asked me to be part of it and I wanted to share it with you.

I found his comments on Facebook. This is what he wrote:

“Hey everyone. You may already know that I’ve been working on my new CD Cottage City Firehouse for the last 2 years. Well, it’s finally done and ready to go. You can go to my website at www.richeckhardt.com and order an advanced copy now.Also feel free to shop around in the store. I have Logo T- Shirts, Personalized Photos and a special 2/for offer if you buy my first disc Soundcheck and the new one Cottage City Firehouse together. I’m very excited about this CD and the music on it. Orders will go out ASAP. The official release date is May 12th. You’re sure to get it way before that! Thanks Rich”

If you DO go to his website, please tell him Nikki sent you.

Enjoy!

Until Next Time,

Last week, while I was on the air. I had a great idea…(well, I think it’s a great idea.    ). I’m looking for local bands who want to showcase their music here on my blog. If you are a band from California and would like to be seen by a ton of people send me your information and if you have a video that would be great. You can send your submissions to me directly at  nikkilandry at 957thewolf.com. Please provide your name of the band, pictures if you have any, the name of your band members and also attach the song, in an mp3 format.

Who knows what will happen. Maybe a record rep could see your music on my blog…ya never know but it’s worth a shot, isn’t it?

Each week, we will have battle of the bands where listeners can vote daily and the band who gets the most votes on the website wins. I’m trying to find out if the winner can have their song played on the Wolf!! (I’m sure I can make this happen, I just need to talk to the boss!). So, go ahead submit your music, your video, your band information and let’s start debuting California’s most proud local bands!

It’s time for you to Rise and Shine and get Seen!

Until Next Time,

Much Love,

Nikki

PS. The Wolf is heard world wide at www.957thewolf.com
