The feedback that I've gotten regarding my article on the Natalie Wells Band has been tremendous! My site was visited about twice to three times as much as usual, during the period immediately following the article. Some of the emails I got, and there was a flood of email, were more than just a little interesting.

I found myself wondering how all those people from Cincinnati found my site, and the article on the band. Heck, I've had invitations from some important people to come up and visit sometime. One email in particular was from a promoter who told me how he had booked the NWB on a recommendation, and ended up impressing the headline act (Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials) so much that Ed had Natalie sit in for most of the last set of the night. The owner of the venue later told the promoter that he only wanted the NWB booked as opening act, when Lil Ed was playing. This band is not only hot, but apparently sells itself in just one appearance.

In keeping with my promise to myself to help the Natalie Wells Band get down to Nashville, so that we can all see her "live", let me ask a small favor of you who read this post. Since NWB has been nominated for for artist of the month, by Cincy Groove Magazine, let's all get our vote in for the band by clicking here (no registration needed; just vote and leave) and give a boost to an act that probably doesn't really need a boost at all. I'm thinking it might hurry up the 'Southern Tour', though.

My original article on the NWB didn't have a video, which I normally like to add to my posts, so I added one below, that I found on the web today. Thanks in advance for helping me support this great blues trio!
