08.20.10 - Fusion Tacos, Sprinkles Cupcakes and a backyard bash with Creede? The bidding starts at....
The John P. McGovern Museum of Health & Medical Science, also known as The Health Museum, is Houston's most interactive science learning center. The 4th Annual Casino Night is set for Sat., Aug. 21 at Hobby Center in Houston, Texas. This is a very special night of Vegas-style fun with proceeds benefiting the The Health Museum's programs and exhibits. If you're within 500 miles of Houston you should be there to support this great cause. Below we've listed some of the very cool auction items...you should pay particular attention to the second item called "The Three Card Monte"- please note: if it brings less than 3 million dollars we will be very disappointed.
08.13.10 - So you think your name is Scorcese?
Yeppers, for awhile we've been getting videos from aspiring auteurs that feature Creede's songs. This month's selection came from the very talented director, Joe Scott. When Joe told us that he envisioned involving Creede in the context of a Dove commercial we were very excited. And by "we", I mean Creede was very excited about the possibility of finally filming a nude shower scene. Needless to say, the world isn't big enough for two Hasselhoffs so Joe went in a different direction which resulted in what we think would make a very good "Dove Campaign For Real Beauty" spot.
07.13.10 - What do Coachella, Bonnaroo, Grand Ole Opry and your living room have in common?
Any guesses? Good try, but they aren't places where I shot-gunned a beer with Lindsey Lohan. Shockingly, the commonaility is none of the above venues have invited me to play...yet. That's about to change.
In light of the moribund economic landscape, BronBron's "decision" and Jake & Vienna's break-up(!), I've decided to implement a "crash at your house" stimulus package that is sure to result in nothing less than complete global recovery, the capture of the famed chupacabra and the invention of an edible corn dog stick.
In all seriousness (queue the somber music), over the past couple of years I've realized that playing music is most fun at intimate shows where I can discourse with people, try new schtick (watch me juggle terriers!) and simply hang-out. Who wouldn't want to work in a place like that, right? Since I can decide whether I open another Insane Clown Posse show or play to friends, I'm playing fewer shows this year and primarily in settings that are around folks that I'd want to know irrespective of music.
So, how does it work from here? Drop us a line(especially the folks who live in Mystique, Aspen, French Riviera) and let us know you're interested. We'll get back in touch with you and see if we can make it work. No pressure, No pyrotechnics just an excuse to host a show at your house, deck, boat, trailer, loft, tee-pee or retirement home.

P.S. Alternatively, you can wait until 2011 where I'll be strictly limited to playing shows in the vein of the picture below.

04.19.10 - Live in Sonoma County: May 15th
We are thrilled to announce Creede's show on Satuday, May 15th at Donatiello Winery in Sonoma County. Creede, Jackopierce, Ike Marr and Tiger Darrow are playing this special engagement among the vines and cools breeze of Northern California. This is your unique opportunity to get "Sideways" with some of Texas' finest artists. Check the live events page link for more details!
03.24.10 - March Gladness
After trying unsuccesfully to casually weave my current tournament pool dominance into a music related posting I give up. My formula is deadly accurate- I pick teams based on a specific algorithm that calculates the fashion forwardedness of a university president's hairstyle divided by whether the team masket carries a weapon multiplied by the existence of a Chick Fil A within a 20 mile radius. It's fool proof and I prove it.
Keep your eyes out- I'm playing Sonoma in May and a Texas Crawfish Boil in April. Who can say what will happen once "seersucker season" ensues.

12.02.09 - Daily Candy Sweetest Things!
We are ecstatic to learn that Creede just qualified for the final voting on Daily Candy's Sweetest Thing of 2009! Unlike most people at the Oscars or Grammys....we are not honored to be nominated, we want blood. What are you waiting for? Go vote for Creede right now. Just click on the pic above and cast your vote!
12.02.09 - Swine, Wine 
December is here which means the consumption of 600 additional guilt-free calories a day, the season of giving...and Christmas parties. In the spirit of December's defining qualities we've decided to hatch a make-shift, fireside, Christmas show benefitting the Dallas Life Foundation. That's right, just like Christmas shopping, we've decided to wait until the last minute to put together this special night of Christmas songs, great food and copious amounts of wine.
Here's the deal. The food geniuses over at SMOKE Restaurant , along with several wine distributors agreed to host our little wine/dine/swine/caroling bonanza on Sunday, December 20th, 2009 at 8:00.
Do you remember how Christmas break used to be? You know the last week on campus or the first week back home? Well, that's what this night is all about. Listening to great music, eating great food, hanging out with friends you don't see nearly enough and giving back.
So, the "giving" part is broken down into two tiers of magnificence:
Option (1) is a $10 donation that gets you in the door, near the fireside stage with a great view of Dallas' finest food and musicianship. Okay, at least a view of Dallas' finest food.
Option (2) is a $30 donation that gets you a special Top Chef-esque menu with all you can drink vino. Yep, that's right. Moderation, smoderation....it's for a great cause.
The entertainment for the night includes Creede Williams, Matthew Glenn Thompson and a bevy of surprise guests joining in on many of your favorite Christmas tunes. This is a rare and special opportunity to eat at one of Dallas' most highly rated joints while hearing some of the best songwriters around in a very intimate and yuletide inspired setting. Throw in bottomless wine and you've got the gift that keeps on giving!
Because of the very limited space and nature of this event, make sure to give SMOKE a call at 214-393-4141 to ensure your admission. You'll be glad you did.
I look forward to tipping back a glass for a good cause on Sunday, December 20th!

11.19.09 - Returning to the scene of the crime
Though it seems like decades ago, Friday, November 20th marks the five year anniversary of Creede's first show at the Granada Theater. Being the sentimental fools that we are, we've booked Creede and a coupla' his pals to return to the stage with Jackopierce for this kiss off to 2009. If you've been "meaning to get out to a show", this is your last chance as the fellas are taking the next two months off to work-out, lay-out, make-out and go-out. Okay, that's not technically true...December and January will probably be dedicated to catching up on Friday Night Lights and trying out some new grilled cheese recipes.
10.30.09 - Come to California, she said....
Creede makes his way back to the Left Coast for several shows in the state that inspired his debut record, Something Borrowed. These will be very intimate shows that include Jackopierce in addition to several "fancy friends" in Hollywood. Mark your calendars for November 13 at The Mint in Los Angeles & November 14th at The Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco.
10.18.09 - Live in Chicago- October 23rd
Creede and his mandolinist/fiddler/bodyguard Ike Marr play Chicago this Friday night at SPACE over near the campus of Northwestern. This is a perfect show to celebrate Homecoming! By the way, Creede is only playing the city Chicago...not the songbook from CHICAGO, although he does a mean "Cell block tango".
