April 30, 2009: Just added lots of new photos to the Gallery and Media Kit! Also tons of new shows, check the Calendar or my myspace page www.myspace.com/easterling for most current listing.

April 28, 2009: We've done some redecorating! Much thanks to madmantics for the awesome redesign of my site. I am still busy doing updates and in the next few days will be adding a new bio and new pix to both the media kit sections as well as bio and gallery pages. All in preparation for the release of my new CD BlackTop Road!

March 18, 2009: I am busy getting ready for the summer release of my new CD, BlackTop Road, produced by Will Kimbrough and featuring some fantastic musicians. In January, I went back to Nashville to do some touch-up recording, mix and master. I also did a photo shoot with amazing NC photographer Coke Whitwoth. He is such a talent and was my first choice, so glad I got to work with him. We shot at my family's farm on Hammett Bridge Rd. The results were stunning and Eva Crawford, who did such a wonderful job designing my last CD, is hard at work on the package and poster. If you'd like to see some photos and hear some select tracks, click on the "Music" page to be directed to where they are. Check back soon for more info about the release and tour!

Believe it or not, I am also prepping for another new CD, which I hope to record this fall. It is a very exciting project with my dear friend, Marianne Bessy. Ms. Bessy is a native of France, has a Phd and is a professor of French at Furman University. We have been working on a group of songs (entirely in French) together and are almost finished writing at this point. I'm really thrilled about this and can't wait to start recording.  

December 1, 2008: Be sure to check out my photos on myspace, facebook and website as I'm beginning to post some of the pix from my recent recording session for my new CD with producer Will Kimbrough and musicians Fats Kaplin, Al Perkins, Anne McCue, Ken Coomer, David Henry, Dave Jacques, Tim Marks and me! I'm also working on a diary of the sessions which I'll be posting soon. I'm very excited about how the new tunes are sounding and can't wait for you all to hear them! The new CD will be released TBA in 2009.

October 13, 2008: You may have noticed I don't have my usual number of shows booked for the rest of the year. I'm kind of winding things down for the touring and getting ready to record my new CD! I will be recording this fall in Nashville with Will Kimbrough producing. I am so excited and fortunate to be able to work with him. You can check him out at http://www.willkimbrough.com/

February 10, 2008: My cousin Mike hipped me to this website www.freerice.com. You answer vocabulary word questions and for every one you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated to the hungry. The rice is paid for by the advertising on the page. So if you've got a few extra minutes online, check it out. It's fun and kind of addicitve. You'll make yourself smarter and help others at the same time!
