Jesus is the Reason for the Season

Hello Everyone! Well we are in the Holiday Season and things are so busy for everyone, I'm sure. We have been really busy as well. Lets not forget that we are celebrating Jesus' birth and that while He hang on the cross, he had us on His mind. We played at the Country Church at Runaway Bay and had a really great time! It is a new church and if you need a home church and live close by, it may be the place for you. There are some great people there. We have a really great show coming up in Azle again on New Years Day. There will be four bands there, so there will be some really great music and a wide variety of styles there for sure. We will be there with The Herrins, Bluefield Express, and Honi Deaton and Dream! It will be a blast! When you eat all the black-eye peas you can, then grab your friends and come down to praise God for a brand new year! It starts at 5PM. We will also be in Amarillo for the jam. It starts January 19-22 this year. If you have never been there for the winter jam, you need to make the trip for some of the best picking in the south! It is nothing but jam sessions for at least 20 hours per day!! We want to wish everyone a very Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year! May God Bless you this year, and we hope to see you down the road this year!
God Bless,
Hanks & Company

Portales,NM

Sorry this is so late. I'm sure you all know how busy life can get sometimes. Here's a slide show of our show in Portales, NM (June 5, 2010)...

Lillian, Texas

We played in Lillian, TX for the first time on May 21st. We were one of three bands. The other two bands being No Turning Back and Buddy & Tina Wright. After the shows, we enjoyed a fantastic jam with some great friends and musicians including: All Koscheski, Will THomasson, Kenny Williams, Cody (not sure his last name), and some members of No Turning Back. Above is a short slide of the evening. The audio is a song from the jam that night.

Flomot, Texas

Flomot festival started with excellent weather (Thursday) but we had to move stage to inside for Friday and Saturday because of rain and weather. As you can imagine, we had a large muddy mess at the campsite, lots of people got stuck! Overall, we had an awesome time and got in on some great jammin'. That's always a highlight for us! Here's a picture slide from the weekend...

What Fun!!

Tucumcari Festevial was GREAT. We were so glad we had a tent to get out of the weather though! Here's a picture slide show of that weekend...

We Arrived in NM

We arrived here in Tucumcari, New Mexico Thursday night (actually, some of us rolled in at 2Am, Texas time, Friday). The festival has been going GREAT! Just trying to get use to the cold wind!! Looking forward to another packed full day of great bluegrass music today!

Cowboy Church of Young County

May 2nd we played in Graham, Texas at the Young County Cowboy Church...

The Barn Thang

We played in Collinsville, Texas (April 24th) at the "Barn Thang". We so enjoyed ourselves, wouldn't mind having a "Barn Thang" in our back yard!

Awesome Three Days

We had a fantastic and busy three day weekend. We played at Mesquite, TX, Rodeo City Music Hall on Friday, Gospel Grass production in Weatherford on Saturday, Cowboy Church of Mineral Wells Sunday morning, and then Sunday evening at First Baptist Church of Millsap. We made a new young fan at Millsap, you will see his picture in the slide....

Gospel Grass

Gospel Grass was wonderful this year. A lot of great bands performed. We enjoyed ourselves the whole day. Here's a song from our first set on Saturday...

Gilmer, TX March 20th, 2010

It was good to return to Gilmer, Texas and see some familiar faces, as well as, meet some new ones. We played two 45 minutes sets with a little break in between. Thanks to everyone at Pine Acres Baptist Church for having us again. We really enjoyed it. It was also good to see Doyal and Mytis Stephens (founders of the bluegrass band, "Coldwater Creek" which Jasey was blessed to play with before moving to Olney) in the audience. Here is a video clip of the evening...

Howdy to all! We haven't made it home yet. Had a GREAT time at Pine Acres Baptist Church last night but just couldn't make it all the way home. Looks like we're about to be driving in snow though! More on our Gilmer, TX concert later...

City Folks Call Us Poor

I don't know where you may be, but around here the weather has been perfect for taking a walk with your camera and observing first hand some of God's amazing handiwork. This makes me think of some lyrics in the song City Folks, "He knows we can't afford no fancy paintings so we look at the real things instead". Yes, city folks may think we're poor, but I believe they're the ones who are missing out!

New Project!

I'm so excited! We started recording songs for my new fiddle CD! I think this is going to be a fun project. A big thank you to the Hanks for patiently showing me some of the ropes of recording, allowing me to sit behind the controls part time (I'm learning so much), and also for accompanying me on this new project.

Post, TX 2-18-10

We played in Mrs. Debbie's home town of Post last Sunday morning (February 28th) to top off our weekend trip. It is always great to go but it's also good to come back home. Praise God for safe travels. Here's a video clip of the morning...

Graham Community Center, Post,TX 2-27-10

A big thanks to my parents, Chad & Jan Davis, for always helping us out with the CD table as well as working the cameras! Alright Mrs. Debbie!! She played her THIRD BASS SOLO for the FIRST time here!!!!! Here's a video clip of the evening (including bass solo) at the Graham Community Center in Post, Texas on February the 27th...

Hillcrest Country Club 2-26-2010

Wow! We had an awesome weekend starting here, at the Hillcrest Country Club in Lubbock, Texas on 2-26-10. We had a great evening, being joined by our friends Triple L Band from Portales, NM (we're looking forward to playing with them in Portales this summer). Hillcrest was the first place we played since our CD's came in and believe me were we happy to have our finished project in our hands!!!

More Video of Seymour Concert

Here's some more video of that evening...

Seymour Concert 2-21-2010

We always have a lot of fun and plenty of laughter when we're together. As Mr. Danny said, "Couldn't ask for a funner group to play with". Have you been waiting to hear Danny with his tight socks on? Well, here it is (after we do the song "normal")...

Seymour Library 2-18-2010

Here we are amongst the books playing Blue Days at the Seymour, TX library on 2-18-2010...

video coming soon

Presbyterian Manor 2-16-2010

We had a reminder of God's amazing timing here...
As we walked into the Presbyterian Manor building, Mrs. Debbie was suddenly reminded of her granny (who had lived her last years in a facility such as this nurshing home), and that this day was Feb. the 16th. The exact day, one year earlier, that her granny had passed on. Some tears later, we were amazed that no one had before realized this up-coming date before. Yet, as Mrs. Debbie said, how fitting to be playing for these people in this place on this day in remberance of her granny! Here's a video of us playing the lighthouse at the Presbyterian Manor in Wichita Falls, Texas...

Video of Cowboy Church 1-3-2010

We had a great time here and what wonderful facilities. Here's a video clip from our show at the Cowboy Church of Ellis County on January 3, 2010...

The Cowboy Church Of Ellis County

They have an awesome facility there in Waxahachie, with the best sound system around!! A really beautiful place and great people! We can't wait to go back there! We were really blessed! Here is their link:

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND!!

We had a really busy weekend with four shows from Thursday New Year's Eve to Sunday night at the largest Cowboy Church in the world! We opened twice for Barry Scott and Second Wind, and what a pleasure that was. Their latest CD "IN GOD'S TIME" Was nominated for a GRAMMY!!! WOW! They were some really great guys...super nice! We also got to play with The Herrin Family also. We love to play with them as well.
