hey everybody,

i just wanted to thank everyone who flew with us to cancun, mexico for the 1st annual brandon rhyder and friends trip. it was such a blast and was really good to have my family there. dusty loved every bit of it. he started laughing when the plane took off and he sure did love the ocean too. i know we were all beat down the last night, but everyone hung in there and the shows were great. a very special thanks goes out to stacie rivers for orchestrating the whole event. also, thanks to josh grider, the south first band and paul eason for singin your butts off. so who's in for next year. plans are already in the works to do it again. i just gotta peel a layer of skin first and i'll be ready. once again, thank you all and hope to see you again real soon.

it's that time of year. you know... outdoor shows and festivals galore. between here and the front door is still in the top ten on the charts and it won't be long till we've got a new single coming out and then by august the new live record will appear in stores. keep spreadin the word and keep bringin people with ya.

i love you and may God bless you all,

brandon rhyder
