We hope everybody is having a WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON!
Merry Christmas from Due West!!!

Safford Arizona KICKED BURRITOS!!

Last night we did a show in Safford, Arizona, and it ROCKED! We had such a great time partying with the people of the Gila Valley, and layin' it down with our boy Tad J, and Miss Cardin McKinney.

The day started with a quick stop by Los Jilvertos for an AMAZING breakfast burrito, and then an on-air visit with Reed Richins at KXKQ Kat Country 94. Reed, you're the man, bro!

For lunch it was another breath-taking, jaw-dropping Mexican meal, provided by Casa Manana. The tortillas there......REALLY!? WOW.

The show kicked off sharply at 7pm...with or without Doug. :) ...we jammed for a couple hours, signed some CDs, snapped some pictures, hung a little with local world-champion team roper, Matt Sherwood, and then called it a night.

The coolest part of the whole trip was finding out that over $3,000 had been raised for the American Cancer Society. We were honored to be a part of such a great cause. We can't wait to come back and do it again sometime. WE LOVE YOU SAFFORD! DW

Due West to play Safford, Arizona for American Cancer Society

Hey y'all, we're excited to announce our upcoming performance at the Safford Center for the Arts, on Wednesday night, December 17th, at 7pm in Safford, Arizona.

Safford lies in the heart of the Gila Valley, which is where our boy Brad learned how to be the chick-magnet that he is today. That's right ladies, Brad hales from the neighboring town of Thatcher, and if you do your research, you just might be lucky enough to take a gander at the house Brad grew up in! Oh the stories the walls of that little home could tell...

The evening will feature a guest-drummer (Gila Valley's own Tad Jacobson), and a special appearance by the talented and lovely, Miss Cardin McKinney.

All proceeds from the show are being donated to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. So if you're in the area, make sure you come on out. For tickets and an article, click this link. DW

The Dixie Rotary Bowl...

...after a full night of blackjack on Fremont Street, we loaded the Due West-mobile, and headed north to St. George; home of the Dixie Rotary Bowl. The Western Washington Vikings took on the Colorado School of Mines Orediggers, and Due West was there to provide the half-time entertainment. We rocked out with 'Bible & The Belt', 'Tell Her', and '22 Hours', and the people seemed to love it! Big shout-out to Rustin and the gang at Poll Sound for the great stage set-up. It was a good time. After the game, we were invited over to the local Ruby River steak house, where we were treated by Steve and his staff to the biggest and best meal of the month! They stuffed us! Those guys are AWESOME! They've even got Due West music in rotation playing throughout the restaurant, how cool is that? We were so grateful for their hospitality and generosity, that we decided to give them our steel player Tommy's resonator guitar. ( how nice of us....nah, it was nuthin' :) ) We all signed it, and they hung it on their wall. So if you're in the St. George area, make sure you head over to Ruby River to check it out! :) After our stuffing, we poured ourselves back in the Due West-mobile, and rolled back down to Vegas, where we slept the ENTIRE night away...that felt great. Thank you Rotary Bowl for having us back for the second year in a row; we'd love to come do it again next year! DW

Thank you Las Vegas!

...so we rolled into Las Vegas Friday night, and headed straight down to Fremont Street. The city was even more electric than it usually is...and there sure were alot of cowboy hats! :) As we got checked into our hotel and found our way down to the club, we were all a little giddy to see so many posters hanging around Fremont with our picture and name on them. We felt like rock stars! :)

It was cool to see all of our friends from Idaho who drove down to hang with us. We love you guys! Thanks also to our family and friends who showed up too. The show was a blast, and the folks at The Canyon Club took great care of us. We hope to visit them again sometime. Afterwards we ended up playing a little blackjack with our Idaho peeps....well, a lot of blackjack. We ended up playing all night! ...nobody won big, but nobody lost big. Even though we didn't get to catch a rodeo performance, it was still a blast being in Vegas around it all. We hope to be back next year! DW

Due West heads to Las Vegas for the NFR!

We are so pumped to be heading to Las Vegas, Nevada this year to be a part of the festivities during NFR week! We've all grown up knowing that the National Finals Rodeo is the grand daddy of them all, where the best cowboys in the world and the best stock on earth put on an amazing week-long show! (Dec. 4th-13th) This year is the 50th Anniversary of NFR, so come on out and be a part of this historic year! Due West will be performing on Friday night, December 5th during the Country Future Stars Concert Series presented by Miller Lite at the Canyon Club inside the Four Queens Casino on the famous Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. Big shout-out to Jeff Gregg at CAA for hookin' it up; Jeff, YOU ROCK! We hope all of our fans in the area can make it out. We'd love to see ya! (tickets) DW
