I know, I know! Sending emails out late on a Friday afternoon is the worst time to send an email blast but I was still lining up my ducks - and while they may never actually be in a row, they have at least agreed to stay in the reflection pond.*

This Sunday is Fullerton Day of Music Festival** and I will be in, count 'em, THREE locations!

Pour Company
12:30 - 1 pm

Fullerton Train Station
3:00 - 4:00 pm

Navarro's Taqueria
6:30-7:30

All shows are in Fullerton, CA and you can technically walk between them all. I'm looking forward to hearing a bunch of friends perform and a bunch of folks that I've never heard of too!***

I also had a nice interview come out today in Vocal Media. It's quite common for most interviews to ask the same sorts of origin questions but this one was not like that. Very much an informed interviewer and I was really grateful for the questions and treatment here. (https://vocal.media/beat/artist-spotlight-with-bobbo-byrnes)

Last weekend I was the guest author during a book club meeting where they had all read my book. Talk about an ego boost! I was so honored to be part of it and the conversation. And my book continues to sell! The e-book is going across oceans and I've sent books out to 35 states. I just crossed over 400 books sold in just under three months.**** Did I mention that the e-book is available on my website here: ( BobboByrnes.com ) and on Amazon here?

This coming autumn I'm planning on making a trip to Derry, Northern Ireland and hit up Drive105Radio as DJ Dessie keeps spinning my music there!

Locally I will be at T.H.E Show Now in Costa Mesa on Saturday, June 27th and I just shot an interview thing for that. I had never heard of T.H.E. Show but apparently it's a place for Hi-Fi, high end audio stuffs. Makes me wonder if any of them would appreciate the speaker re-cone job I did on my home stereo JBL's.

Then on Tuesday, June 30th I will be back at the Songwriter Round at Campus Jax, which is also in Costa Mesa. That's a lot of C.M. happening.

I've also been working on a panel to be presented at some upcoming music conferences under the heading “Music as Cultural Diplomacy: Touring Abroad as an American Artist.”

OH, last thing. I've been working towards using my Bobbo music page on Facebook a little bit more and so that is here and my Patreon page is here.

That's enough for today. As always, thanks for hanging out with me and hope to see you soon.

*Wait a minute, how many cliche's are we up to here? Well, first there's Ducks in a Row which is also on of my favorite songs by my Australian friends Wayward Johnson. And yeah, I did mention a reflecting pond because it's been in the news - ooh and there's an extra layer here with the U.S. soccer team just defeating Australia 2-0! Layers upon layers.
**Also sometimes called “Make Music Fullerton." I feel like they may be halfway through a re-brand because both names come up in regards to the same event.
***My friends The Odd Birds also have three shows and we'll be weaving back and forth and overlapping sets - you should stop in and see them too!
****Even had a trump supporting family friend that wrote me after reading it send me a text: “Honest book - covered the highs and lows of traveling on the road, the importance of music, friendships, sharing of views and the pursuit of dreams.” When he purchased it I remember thinking to myself “He's just as liable to throw this across the room as read it.” But he read it and that's a win.
*****If you have read my book and you felt like leaving a review on the Amazon page - that would be fantastic! I'm currently in the top 41,000 music books on their site and I'd really love to crack that and be in the top 40,000 titles. And I'm still sorry to my outside of the U.S. fans - I thought Amazon would be supplying you with books but apparently they are not printing any until they get a lot of orders for it and it just says “out of stock.” This is frustrating to me too and I currently don't have a work around besides bringing a whole suitcase full of books with me in September.

Thank you Vocal for this interview!
