Guess Who’s goin on tour with Shooter Jennings? Give up! It’s Cody Canada and The Departed. Cody had this to say: “We’re a perfect pairing – we believe in the same purpose.

The new edition of Lone Star Music magazine featuring the Jerry Jeff Walker cover is out and the “Rita Ballou” column was lucky enough to be included. I was feeling very helpful so I thought it would be fun to sit down and write my Scenelebrity Do’s and Don’t tips for Twitter. I am sure I am going to catch hell for this one but I hope no one gets butt hurt because again, I was just trying to be helpful. Go read my thoughts on: Twitter Wars, Humble Braggers, Twitter Divas and remember begging for Retweets isn't cool.
