The Armadillos and Elvis Tour
Following hours of web surfing and phone calling, a favor to pick up a pick up truck in New Mexico turned into a full fledged mini tour for Keith Lyndaker of Jeremiahs Run. The A & E Tour, which followed Rt. 40 from Albuquerque to Memphis to Johnson City, was a great success! Listeners gave rave reviews to performances and the new JRun demo. Keith was interviewed on WEVL in Memphis TN and WETS in Johnson City TN. JR is now receiving airplay on these fine radio stations as well as the Pig in Memphis. Keith recorded his thoughts on tape and is finding great song material as he listens to them. One song "Oklahoma" has already come out of the Tour and the rest of the band is quickly putting their stamp on it. Stay tuned for more GREAT music! Excerpts from the diaries will be heard on the website in the near future.
