New Music from Lady A?
In the studio working on our new album. It’s one of my favorite things in the world. Also, it’s when I get to pull out my vintage acoustics to record with. These babies have been on nearly all our albums and sound so killer! -dave pic.twitter.com/ihCh9SnB6S

Tim & Faith Hit NYC
Tim McGraw hit the Big Apple as part of his Songs of America Book Tour with Jon Meacham. The two co-authored “Songs of America,” a brand-new book which takes a look at the patriotic and the protest music that defined our nation. As part of the conversation, McGraw performs a small set acoustically. What a treat, especially knowing that this beautiful gal was in the audience at the Beacon Theater.
