Due West in Gilbert AZ
The benefit concert yesterday was a success! We did two shows at the Gilbert High School auditorium with Light to help raise money for the recovery of our new friend Marius. For those of you who only went to the 2pm performance, I must say that you missed out. The 7pm show had a spontaneous surprise finale as Light and Due West were joined on stage by Marius and his brother. Everyone joined in and serenaded with the popular Diamond Rio hit, 'One More Day'. It was a moving moment. Stay tuned for lots of fan pictures from the event to be posted. We love our Arizona fans!
Marius, good luck on your recovery, bud! We'll be back to check on ya'! DW
We just received this new link with some cool news coverage from the shows that day. AZ NEWS

Happy Thanksgiving from Due West!
We hope you all get stuffed to the gills, and watch a full weeks worth of football! ...and here's a thought.... Why wait in line at 5am for that 'perfect' gift, when you can click your mouse a couple times, and get Due West CDs for EVERYBODY for Christmas! Forget Black Friday....GO DUE WEST! DW

Due West plays with iWeb
Today Matt decided to experiment with iWeb a little bit. After several hours of learning how it all works, and figuring out how to upload pages to the internet, Due West finally has a fairly functional website to get us by until the massive unveiling of the 'official' Due West website (scheduled for sometime around the first of the year); which I'm sure will look much more..... professional. Until then, please stop by and visit the new Due West website, and make sure you click on ALL the buttons. Test them out, make sure they all work. You'd be surprised at how much of a pain it is to get all that stuff to function right... ...oh yeah, and there's a couple sneak previews of our recent photo shoot. Shhhh, don't tell anyone! :) DW

Busy, Quick Trip to SLC
It started with an early-morning visit to 101.5 The Eagle, with a live performance on the Keith Stubbs show. Keith has been a friend of Due West's for several years now, and has us on the show every time we're in town. He and Lindsay ROCK! ...big thanks to Joe and the gang at Bella's for bringing breakfast in to the station; as always...WOW.
After leaving Trolly Square, we went by and did a quick surprise performance at our friend Samantha's elementary school cafeteria. I hope we didn't embarrass her too bad! Check out the pictures on our Facebook page.
Then finally, last night we played a show for the farmers of Utah at their annual Farm Bureau Convention in Layton, Utah. Before the evening's performance, we were fed the most delicious filet mignon any of us had ever eaten; Tim didn't even have to use his knife, it was so tender! When we finished our show, we received a standing ovation, and played an encore. Those are truly some great people, and we're proud to consider them our new friends. A special thanks goes out to the Osguthorpe family, who continue to believe in and support this Due West 'train'! DW

Marius Dasianu, Light, and Due West
We are always so extremely honored to be able to take part in so many amazing benefit concerts and fund-raising opportunities. On Saturday, November 29th, we will be performing two(2) shows to help raise money for a young Romanian boy who was severely burned in a fire, and lost both his parents. The event has been entirely planned and organized by a Mesa-area song and dance group called Light. These selfless, talented teens are amazing! See more about this show and this story here. Once again, we are humbled and honored to be a part of such an amazing moment! DW

Meetings, movies, and mics...
Hey y'all! We've got a few days off back here in Nashville, but we're staying busy 'til we leave again this weekend. First priority....James Bond! ...Montpelier didn't quite have the means necessary for us to see Quantum on opening night, so we HAD to go check that out. (loved it!) :) Also, we're SO pumped to continue moving forward in the studio; Tim's been in the vocal booth getting his pipes all dialed in. This new record is gonna ROCK! We've got some more meetings this week too; putting the team together and a plan in place to knock it down in 2009. ...good things. DW
