Update: 
Happy really hot summer!!  We hope that you have been doing great, we have been very, very busy and we wanted you to know a few of the things we have been keeping ourselves busy with....

Daryl Shackleford (The Duke & Delvis) went on a mission trip with his church to Peru.  He was gone a large part of the month of July.  We are happy to have him back home and ready to get back to work spreading the oldies.

Barry Wiginton (Mr. Bassman) paid a visit to LA and to West Palm Beach, FL in the month of July, so he was gone for a couple of weeks.  He said that he loved LA and wants to go back again.  He already has plans to go back to West Palm Beach.  Barry has also purchased his first home and is working hard to get ready to have the group over for a BBQ.  We are glad he was able to soak up some west coast sun but he is back and ready to hit the road with the oldies group once again.

Tiffany Mitchell (Lil Bit) has made numerous trips to Destin, FL where she has had the opportunity to enjoy some fun in the sun.  Congrats to Tiffany for being accepted into Nursing School.  She will begin classes on the 19th of this month.  Wish her luck (she is going to need it)!

Brenda Mitchell (thats me) has been holding down the fort and working hard to book bigger and better shows.  I have taken my laptop to the country club and have spent long days in the sun finding more venues to perform our show.  It has been a lot of fun and I enjoy working hard and seeing my work pay off.  Barney, my husband, is doing great and has been busy doing his own "1 Bullet Deputy" shows across the state.  I am ready to hit the road running dragging a poodle skirt behind me....

Here are a list of the new shows I have booked in the past month:

Our biggest and best show to date will be on Thursday night, Aug. 19th at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, MS.  Our show will be in one of the many conference rooms at this luxurious hotel on the coast.  We are privileged to be able to perform our show for one of the finest hotels on the coast and hope that our fans in that area will come out to see us.  As I mentioned above, Tiffany, starts nursing school on this same date, for this reason, we have chartered a plane to take her from the B'ham airport directly to Gulfport, MS and then back to B'ham again after the show.  I asked Tiffany if she felt like a star since she will be flown in for the show, perform, sign a few autographs and be flown back home...her answer, "Show me the money"!  Gotta love 'Lil Bit'.

Barney will be at The Butterbean Festival in Pinson, AL on Sat. Sept. 4th so come out to see him if you are in the area.

We have a recording party planned for Sat. Oct. 2nd...this will be the day we put the finishing touches on our new Holiday CD.  You are going to laugh your head off when you see the CD cover!!

On Oct. 5th, Tue night we'll be performing in Tallassee, AL.  We will be at the high school and our show begins at 7pm.  We would love to see our Montgomery, AL fans at this show.

On Oct. 16th Barney will be at the Attalla City Fest....dont miss him and his 1959 Custom Ford car.

Oct. 30th we will perform for the good people in Opp, AL for the OppFest.  This will be a daytime event and everyone is welcome.

I wont bore you will the details of all the Holiday shows we have booked just yet...I'll at least wait until the weather cools off before hitting you with that info. 

Last, but not least, we have been contacted by channel 33/40 here in the B'ham area about performing live on their morning show, "Talk Of Alabama".  The date for this live performance is Monday, Aug. 9th, which is THIS Monday morning at 9AM.  Please dont miss it..we'll be promoting our upcoming Beau Rivage show and some other events. If you happen to miss it we'll be putting it on YouTube and on our web site, so try to catch it there.

That is about it, for now...but there will be lots more news in the near future...I just dont want to jinks the shows by announcing them before the contracts are signed. 

Thank you for being a fan of our Acappella Oldies Group, "Blast From The Past".  Dont let the name fool you, we were "Back In Time" for the first part of our performing years but felt the need for a name change and 2 fresh voices.   For the past 10 years Daryl and I have been bringing you the best in Acappella Oldies Shows and will continue to do that in the future especially since we now have Tiffany Mitchell and Barry Wiginton on board to complete the look and sound of the wonderful 50's & 60's.

We look forward to performing in a city near you soon,
