Hey Guys!

Just returned home from Fabulous Las Vegas~ Tons of people have been asking me what it was like to be in Vegas come ACM time... totally crazy!

If you have not had a chance to make it out to Vegas for the ACM's, you must put it on your to-do list for next year. Nashville, along with 50,000 country music fans storm the city and every casino you go into is rockin' country music! It is a blast.

DAY 1: We finally arrive after a 4 1/2 hour plane ride and make it to our hotel (Paris). It is about 98 degrees outside so we hit the pool. That night ZURI is where it all goes down. Everywhere you turn is another artist, record exec, songwriter, or band member. Its a big reunion for everyone. We went to see JERSEY BOYS.... awesome. We hit up Toby Keiths, I love this Bar and grill that night to see my good friends TRAILER CHOIR perform. If you haven't seen them be sure to check them out. They are newly signed to ShowDog (Toby's Label). I Ran into MM buddy James Otto, and my FL babe Shanna Crooks who sends her love to all her fans down here in west palm.

DAY 2: Try to get out of bed at a decent hour. Meetings, Meetings, Pool, Get Pretty. "Tonight we went to Party for a Cause (Also known as the New Artisrt Showcase). Lady A, Sarah Buxton, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Kelli Pickler, Jack Ingram where all there just to name a few. It was a great time and raised a ton of money for music education and healing through music. Back to Zuri for some more meeting of the minds. :) Ran into my good friend Andy Gibson who finally got signed to Universal South. Please, Please check him out. He is a tall, gorgeous man who has the voice of a angel and also sings in spanish. He will be huge! (FYI Andy did all the photos for Reckless).

Day 3: ACM Day: Rush Rush Rush. Getting ready and out of the hotel by 2. (There is a 3 hour time difference) I wore a white BCBG Max gown that Matt picked out... he's also a great drummer along with his wonderful fashion advice. The awards were wonderful. Getting to see Garth was something that I have never been able to do..loved it. Miranda Lambert totally surprised me with Album of the Year. But, it was a good surprise, I am a huge fan of hers. (She is a woman who seems to feel comfortable in her own skin, and knows its ok to be herself. I love that. Plus, she can rock it harder than any other female, in my opinion,- if it matters.)

OK so after VIP at the Awards, its out change, and get comfy and ready to party. We ended up in a suite (i'm sure you can guess who's... ah hem..rich..) and the veiw gets better every year. Little big town, Rascal Flatts, Brooks (without Dunn) were all there. My best bud Matt joined me and was totally star struck and had such a great time. Kelli Pickler (who is one of the most beautiful blondes I have ever seen) had a very aggressive conversation with me about how much she wanted red hair...ha. It was a great time. i think the highlight of my night was being able to see two foot fred again (and when I got to take off my shoes). i get to see him (fred) every year at that party and he gets more adorable every time. (Speaking of cute, ladies, go check out new artist Chuck Wicks...YUP) Well, thats just about it. As you know there are way more details to go into, way more gossip, cute outfits, bad outfits, good performances, and the bad, but as you all know... WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS..... (SINGLE OF THE YEAR) STAY (s) in Vegas!!!!!

Alien interference

Hey everyone!!! Lots of things to catch up on. First off I just want to say that the Melbourne art fest was a blast! It was alb's first time there and we can't wait to go back!

I just returned from Texas playing for Cowboy Troy. If you haven't heard of CT, he is a card carryin' member of the Muzik Mafia- go and check him out. His music is a mix of rap, county, and metal. He passionately refers to it as "Hickhop". It was a wonderful and exciting show at the Glass Cactus at the Gaylord Texan. Playing for Troy was truly a great and refreshing experience. The trip to Texas at 4 am was rough but, hangin with the boys was way too much fun - and not just because they are ALL gentlemen (and carried my gear through the airport while singing backstreet boys at the top of their lungs. :) yes, that is VERY true.)

I will be leaving for viva vegas on Friday for the acm's. I will be sure to blog up that trip! And in 2 weeks, it's back up to Nashville for good old fan fair!

As of right now I am getting my hair a more shocking shade of red and am looking like I can pick up alien interference with all the foil in my head... So, must go, time to wash!

Love, amber
