I just had a “sneak preview” of the new Leeland album Opposite Way and let’s just say February 26, 2008 can’t come soon enough.

Tonight my dad and I got to go play some bluegrass with some of our friends. We had a blast. Here’s our all-star lineup:

Dave Peterson – This guy can sing! (And play every single instrument.)

John Swaim – Guitar – Awesome songwriter and really cool guy!

Ward Stout – Fiddle – Studio fiddler (Tours with Aaron Tippin)

Lee Olsen – Mandolin – Booking agent who used to be in a band with my dad.

My Dad – Banjo

Me – Upright Bass

This is the student band at our Wednesday night event called Revolution. They were great tonight. They are great every night. But tonight, wow. A version of Your Love Is Extravagant that I only wish we had recorded.

These guys are awesome. Each year, they give all the proceeds from their Nashville concert to the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. This year they raised $830,000! That is pretty cool if you ask me. Way to go guys! Oh yeah, and the concert rocked. Check out the stage!
