Happy Days Here We Come!

Well, for the time being, I am taking a break from this website. (At least a few hours… Geez, I have been at it 2 nights in a row! – MUST SLEEP!)

As I lay my head down on the pillow, I will be dreaming of all of the excited visitors to my site who exclaim, “Wow! Look! Nakia updated his website!”

(I think I am dreaming already.)

But seriously, happy days are really on the way… Or should I say “Happy Hours!” I am overjoyed to make the official announcement that me and the Southern Cousins are going to be taking over happy hours for The Mother Truckers while they are out on the road.

They will be gone most of May and July, so if you hop over to the new “Shows” section, you will find all the info you need for all of the dates and times for each show we are doing. This is something I have been hoping would happen for a while and Roggie has been working hard to orchestrate it with Steve over at the club. Thanks Roggie and thank you Steve for the opportunity! Now it’s just up to YOU – the trusty fans to show up and rock out!

In other show news, the band will be performing a private event for KLRU in June and the best part about it is that we get to play the gig on the Austin City Limits soundstage!! How awesome is that, huh? It’s a dream come true for me, I know. Sure, the cameras won’t be rolling, but just being up there – knowing who else came before me… That’s going to be awesome.

Mac and I demoed some new material tonight so we could get the rest of the band learning some new originals before the happy hours kick in. We cut demos for “Nuthin’ But The Rent,” “All Over You,”, “Daddy’s Dope,” and “Gotta Get That Dolla” – All new songs of course and we worked on several others as well.

Well, my brain just officially shut down. I will be putting out a new “Nakia’s Notes” this coming week, so look for more then!
