I apologize for my lack of posting. It's hard to get signal in some of the remote places we've been, but I have some exciting news! I'm finally releasing my first solo record, Fall Away, on September 22nd at the Continental Club in Austin, Texas! It will be available for download on September 23rd as well! For those of you who are coming out to a Wheel gig coming up, I'm currently selling them at shows only, so if you see Pj at the merch table, be sure to grab a copy!

I've been a member of Asleep at the Wheel now for 2.5 years, and somewhere between the east coast and west coast, time can get a little warped day after day on the bus. Since my last post and the release of Still the King, we have played a variety of gigs from the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame show, to a private gig at the Broken Spoke in Austin with Willie Nelson, New Years Eve in Greensboro with the Avett Brothers, to theaters and dance halls from coast to coast! While we are gearing up for the summer months, I'm excited to say I have a record coming out! It's been years in the making, and though it's been a long time coming, I'm proud of the work that's been put into this, and I'm ready for you to hear it! Stay tuned with me here, as I will be updating very soon with more details! In the meantime, thanks for visiting here and hope to see you in your neck of the woods!<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/144624/ed06bdaa164f39ab24a678a41172a767898ecec3/original/katie-cover-shot-brian-removed-for-art-small.jpg?1465307552" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><div style="text-align: center;">Photo: Mike Shore</div>Katie Shoretag:katieshoremusic.com,2005:Post/37113482015-05-20T21:46:01-05:002017-01-18T09:46:30-06:00April in NYC<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="s1">April was a great month! My favorite trip was up to New York to play with Asleep at the Wheel and Kat Edmondson on the Letterman show! It was neat to see how a show was run, and during the rehearsal I sat in Lettermans chair and interviewed Mr. Eddie Rivers-steel player of the decade! The next day I sat in with Brian Newman at Gramercy Park Hotel and had an amazing time playing old jazz standards. The musicianship of those guys was some of the best I've ever experienced, and it's still inspiring me. A truly unforgettable trip...I can't wait to get back to New York! A Video of the Letterman performance can be seen <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD2V9Y17v7g" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></p>

I wish they lasted forever...</span></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It was a full month of March, with only a few days off, and more cities visited than I can recall at once. March 3rd was the release of Asleep at the Wheel’s record “Still the King”. It was really special to have the Quebe Sisters on tour with us, and special guests Avett Brothers, Amos Lee, Brad Paisley, Old Crow Medicine Show, Del McCourry, Leon Rausch, and Elizabeth Cook, sat in to sing the tunes they recorded with us. We played venues small and large, with some special appearances on Austin City Limits, The Grand Ole Opry, World Cafe, Sirius Radio, the Woodsongs, and a three day stent in Savannah, Georgia with one of my favorite bands and dear friends, The Hot Club of Cowtown! </p>
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">Austin’s SXSW happened right in the middle of the month, between tours, and while the town transforms for better and worse, I always love the energy of the city, and the constant sound of music in the air, and its usually one of the first warm weeks! My bud, Graham Wilkinson, invited me to play some own tunes in a showcase he hosted, and it felt so good to play some tunes dear to my heart, some of them my own. </p>
<p class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">I’m back out again soon, and hope to see you out there somewhere soon!</p>

Asleep at the Wheel has been gearing up for its upcoming release of Bob Wills is Still the King, available </span><span class="s2">March 3rd.</span><span class="s1"> I’m delighted to have been such a part of this record, and we have some gigs coming up that you won’t want to miss!

We had a great time playing around Colorado, Northern California, and Arizona, seeing old friends and making new ones along the way. Now, well into our East Coast tour, we will be heading all the way up to Maryland, Maine and will stop over in Ottawa on our way back to Austin! Two more weeks to go and I imagine the pumpkins and spiced candles and coffees will be abundant when we return. In addition to the Wheel gigs, I'm looking forward to some solo shows coming up this fall, so please check back here as I will be making some announcements soon! Thanks for taking the time to stop by my site and I'll see you down the road..</div>

It's been an exciting year and Id like to update you on the latest! In January I joined the 9-time Grammy Award Winning band Asleep at the Wheel as their fiddle player and female vocalist, and so far the journey has taken me around the country to some amazing venues, great audiences, recording sessions and performances with some of my heroes-Willie Nelson, George Strait, Lyle Lovett, and many new friends have been made! Back in June I joined Chessboxer (my brother Ross Holmes and Matt Menefee) on tour opening for Bruce Hornsby, performing some original tunes from my solo record that I am finishing and so excited to share with you! Please check back in soon as Asleep at the Wheel is gearing up for our summer tours, and come out and see us if we are in your neck of the woods! Thanks so much and I'll see you down the road...<br> </div>
