MOniacs….

Can I say this tour has been one of the best I’ve experienced in a while….don’t get me wrong, every tour I’ve ever done has been a blast, but this one has allowed me to be more personable to the people and really get to know who they are….I truly thank God for those that I have met, and everyone is very dear to me….Our first show after leaving Canada was in Syracuse, NY…and it was a very hot show!…Not only did they declare that day to be Boz Scaggs day, but I was able to meet the legendary Gil Scott Herron who was just a fun and very genuine man….the crowd was all party that night, and in the end…it was another magical moment…after leaving there, we went to Hampton Beach, New Hampshire….now, we’ve played here several times, and EVERY time is a good time and a very HOT time…I was told it was about 90 degrees inside add on about 10 more for me under lights…I was melting away, but it didn’t stop the fire that we gave to the crowd! It’s always a pleasure Hampton Beach…right now, I’m finally relaxing in Burlington, Vermont…a very quaint town I must say….okay enough, I’m supposed to be relaxing right??

the last poet!

Had too much fun in Syracuse….check out what they had to say!

MOniacs!!!

Wow what I time we’ve had here in Canada so far…the people, the shows the food…all have been wonderful…big thanks to the people of Richmond, Calgary, Edmonton, and next, Montreal…We arrived yesterday to beautiful weather, and talks of a 5.5 earthquake! Big thanks to the MOniacs that sent well wishes of safety during our travels…We appreciate you and again, thank you!  I tried to get out today and do some site-seeing…and of course SHOPPING!!!! Just to find out that today is a national holiday, and all retail was closed! Bummer, all on my off day….well, all I can do now is just chillax and enjoy the serenity of my hotel room! lol!  But tomorrow is a new day..there will be sooo much music here…Herbie Hancock, Manhattan Transfer, Gil Scott Herron, and the list goes on and on!!!!! Yes, it’s officially festival time….

Hey MOniacs….

The last couple of days have been very trying due to cold weather, but we’re still killing with the shows…it makes me want to take time out and say THANK YOU for coming out to support us on this tour.  I’ve received so many well-wishes, and good vibes and it’s sooo wonderful to know that friends like you make it all worthwhile…Tonight we do our last show on the west coast, then we’re up to Canada. As we journey up…please keep us in your prayers…you know I will keep you updated, and post pics….I love you all….

Hey MOniacs!!!!!

Can you believe it’s been a week of the tour and sooo much has happened!  Since I last wrote…we went and rocked the socks off of LA! And some kinda shows those were….with the fab, Michael Bearden  who played with our Boz band in 2008 and left us to MD for Michael Jackson, playing on keys that night, to the amazing David Paich of Toto sitting in on the hits he penned with Boz, it couldn’t have gotten any better.  It was hot and humid in there, but the crowd didn’t mind….they gave up the love and we gave the love back…..then came the birthday show in Anaheim….from the time he hit the stage…they started in on him with the birthday song….and we as a band had it in for him as well…we did our impromptu version of the bday song, along with party favors…he was floored!!!!!! After, this we came on home to the Bay Area….and rocked Saratoga for two shows….though it was quite cool up on the hill at Montalvo, the fans didn’t disappoint, and we came to give a show….it was good to see many familiar faces, as well as new ones….tonight, we’re still up in the Bay, with a sold out show in Brooks at Cache Creek….we’ll see what happens…it’s gonna be fun!!!!!!

Hey MOniacs!!!!!

The summer is here, and last night’s show, gave me a glimpse as to what to expect this tour! Las Vegas came ready to have a good time.  I must admit, I was a bit confused as to how we were going to pull it off, due to how and where the stage was positioned, but it was great!  Though we were surrounded by water, the fans came out to see the Boz man do his thing! And it was HOT! Even at 9 and 10pm..the temps were still peaking in the 90′s….but that didn’t stop anyone from having fun….they were partying in the water…and I had on no shoes my self….it was the ultimate beach party!!!!! Lot’s of MOniacs came out last night, and made me feel really special….I think I made have gained some new ones…..well, tonight is Agoura Hills/LA show and from what I hear, it’s gonna be something else….I’ll tune u in….ciao!

MOniacs!!!!!

So, I’ve officially started the summer tour with Boz Scaggs, and so far our first 2 shows have been wonderful…Starting with the people of Indio….what a way to kick things off!!!! They came ready to party, and party they did….never mind the temperature, because it kept rising….we showcased our new show full of songs we haven’t done it quite some time…AND songs we haven’t done at all…..the crowd reception was very inviting, which set us up to night two…SAN DIEGO….now, if you’ve never been to Humphrey’s, it’s one of those venues with the perfect back drop for a perfect evening….and it was…the crowd was hyped and couldn’t contain themselves, before we even hit the stage….Boz, did his thing…and so did I….performing my new song…was an amazing feeling….I must say, as this song grows on me…it will only get better…..as of now, I’ve just got to my room here in Sparks, Nevada, and I’m looking forward to a fab Friday night….

My uncle....The Amazing...Mr. Ali "Ollie" Woodson

Hey MOniacs…

I’m sure we’re all Temptations fans….and if so, you’ve definitely heard my uncle, Mr. Ali “Ollie” Woodson sing.  Uncle Ali, became the next voice for the Tempts, following behind David Ruffin, and Dennis Edwards…….This man’s voice was the blueprint of pure soul….his presence was so profound…and his singing….beyond us!!!!! I thank God for giving us the opportunity to know one of his “best” singers….Uncle Ali, I will miss you tremendously, and will forever, have you in my heart….you gave me…”Ladysoul”…and I say thank you….love always,

Neecie!
