Here’s a video from us playing Aerosmith’s “Cryin’” at 500 Songs for Kids, a charity event held annually at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta. To view the full 1080p HD version, check it out on YouTube. We’re in Charlotte right now but will post some photos soon as well.

It’s December 1st and here’s my holiday gift to you, a free MP3 download of my new original Christmas song “Here Comes Christmas”! Just go to the News page to download. If you like it and want to support us, it will be available for purchase on iTunes within the next few weeks. Enjoy!!

It’s been a while since I have given a blog update so here ya go…. I wanted to let everyone know what I am up to if you haven’t been following me on Twitter (if you’re not you should, make my life easier and do it). I have been busy working on my full length album with producer Mike Clink and we have about 3 more songs to record before we are all done, at this point not sure on a release date. In the meantime, I have been working on a new Christmas song I wrote called “Here Comes Christmas” which should be done in the next few days and released for purchase around the 1st of November. Besides that I have been in the studio working with a girl from Springfield Ill. named Elizabeth Eckert, she is known from being on American Idol and she is a radio personality on a top 40 radio station called Kiss Fm in Springfield. I am almost done with her new EP and the single called “You Lose” that I wrote with her and another girl I am working with named Hope Sonam should be out within the next few weeks on several top 40 stations, I will update you all with a list of stations so you can call a request it. Like I said a little while ago, I am working on another album with Hope Sonam. I met her at a Grammy event and was blown away with her talent for writing and worked with her on a couple tracks for other people and pulled her in to do back up vocals on some albums I produced also. The album is coming along great and I will keep you posted on the progress.

Back to my albums and the progress now… We are going to be launching a new website with all kinds of new features we are excited about including weekly podcasts where you can email me questions and every week I will answer your questions and it can be about anything from relationship advice, music, parents, addictions, etc.. Anything you want my thoughts on I will give it to you whether you like the answer or not… Keep your eye out for new updates and pics of me and the band and please follow on twitter if you want to know everything as it happens. I also recommend you follow my band members also so you can see what they are up to also and sometimes they vent about me so you can get all the juicy details and dirt!! Haha, until then…..

Hey, this is Pat again. It’s been a long time since the last blog update…we’ve been busy finishing up songs for the album! The three songs we worked on most recently in LA with Mike are almost completed, and we’re getting ready to work on a few more. I can’t wait for you to hear these (do I even need to say that? I love hearing your reactions to new tunes). In our spare moments away from working on the album and doing shows, Brad’s been producing & writing songs for other artists (among other things) while I’ve been working with a rock n’ roll summer camp for kids called Camp Jam here in Atlanta. I’m happy to report that the next generation of rockers has a deep appreciation for the classics. Anyways, on to the main update…

Brad is featured in the July 2009 issue of The Sounding Board, Martin Guitar’s official magazine. Check it out…

Hello everyone,
Back in Atlanta and missing the California weather! Thanks to those of you who made it to the live chat from the studio, it was a lot of fun- we will definitely set up another one soon! Also, thanks for all of the positive feedback about the studio updates, I am glad you’ve enjoyed them so far. We will post more updates as we finish working on these songs, so stay tuned!
We figured it was time to swap out some of the older photos for newer ones, so check them out on the Media page. See you back here soon!

Tonight, at 10pm EDT/7pm PDT, Brad and I will sign on AOL Instant Messenger to chat as we work on guitars in the studio. Just send an IM to us at screenname BradCoxBand! Talk to you then.

Quick break from recording acoustic guitars. It’s been a week of non-stop work in LA. Here’s a video from yesterday with a tour of the studio…and the names of the 3 new songs coming your way soon! Those of you who’ve seen us live recently will recognize a couple of them.

From LA Sound Gallery on Sunday where we tracked bass and drums

No time to chat, gotta get back to working on guitars! We’ll check back in again soon.

Hey guys, I hope Pat has been taking good care of you here on my blog!! It’s been a lot of fun having him, Chris, and Ben out here with me, and as always, it’s a pleasure working with Mike Clink. We’re all very excited about these songs and had a blast working with Kenny Aronoff and Chris Chaney in the studio yesterday. Enough babbling on here, watch the video!

Pat and I will keep you posted throughout the rest of the week with more videos and photos. Be sure to take a look at the great photos from our performance at 500 Songs For Kids 2009 in Atlanta on Friday! Like he said, watch our Twitters (…is that correct??) for the latest updates. Back to work!

This is Pat, one more time (for now!)- here are a handful of photos from the 500 Songs For Kids event on Friday. Before you ask, yes, we’re in LA, and yes, we owe you an update! We didn’t get the chance to hop online yesterday at the studio, but we’re at Mike’s new studio today getting ready to start guitar tracks. See the next post from Brad for the aforementioned update…here are the photos:
