What a weekend!

I told you we were going to have fun this weekend. I don't lie to you. Chicago was killer! Joe's Bar is one of the best bars in the country. Period. They treat us great. They catered dinner in for us from this BBQ joint called "Smoke". It is as good as anything I've had and I have had BBQ from almost every joint in this country. It was great. And that says nothing about how much fun the show was... Chicago has always been known as a music town and it is not by mistake. They are fantastic fans. They filled the bar and we had a helluva show. Can't wait to get back there. We'll be back in Chicago with Martina McBride at the end of August.

The Mayfly Festival in Dundee, MI was a good one too. It's always fun to play a very small town at one of those little fairs/carnivals... I'm not sure what you call one of those when they don't have any rides? They had Elephant Ears though so I guess that makes it a fair! It was real cool. The whole town came out and sang along and had a great time. So did I.

We played Detroit on Sunday evening at a festival called "River Days". It was quite an experience. Our show was sandwiched between an incredible gospel show, I mean it was the real deal and I was blown away, and Brian McNight. Do you remember him? I remembered the name and know he had some major R&B success a few years ago. It doesn't matter... I caught most of his show and it was really solid. I'm not sure that the majority of the audience that came to see the Gospel show and Brian McNight were completely prepared for "My name is Jack Ingram... I play Country Music"! But I really did have a good time attempting to expand some horizons in Detroit Motor City!!! It was good. We met some really great artists at the festival and accidentally made some new friends. It was all good.

It's definitely summer time! The shows are rocking and people are ready to have a good time. I'm glad it's early in the season! Here comes July 3 and July 4 in Texas. We are going to blow it out. If you can make it to any of these shows... I'll see you there. It's going to be big!

See you out there.

Keep On Keepin' On...
