What’s New???
Hey folks! I hope this newsletter
finds you doing well. I'm typing this in the truck
on the way back home from Augusta, GA. We just spent
the weekend at Coyote's and had a great time. My friend
Tyler played bass for us this weekend and got introduced
to the honorary "Tsunami Shot" before we
left last night! Dom got a video clip of it on his
phone, so I'm gonna post that in a blog on my myspace
page later tonight. Be sure to check it out when you
get a sec...you'll get a good laugh! Thanks to the
owner Vicki for setting that up, and for having us
back again. We love some Coyote's!
So Thursday night we played
a show at the fair down in Lawrenceburg, TN, and got
to open for Emerson Drive again. That was our first
time in that area, so we really appreciate everyone
making us feel so welcome! Me and the guys had a blast.
And honestly, because we only played an hour we wished
we could've played longer. I guess we're so used to
playing such long nights that a one hour show just
flies by for us. Also, there were about 12 people
from different departments of Warner Bros. that came
down on a tour bus to see the show, so that was pretty
exciting. Besides the A & R staff and a few others,
no one else had gotten to see me and the band doing
our thing before that night. We got great reports
from all of them and they're all very excited for
when we get a single out there they can work with.
So am I!!!
Speaking of which, those first
5 songs we recorded are almost completely mixed ,
and we turned them in to the label last week. Everybody's
loving them so far, and we will hopefully be going
back into the studio during the fall to record some
more. I'll keep you up to date on all of that as we
go along. I can't wait for the day when I can finally
tell all of you that I have a single coming out on
the radio! It's coming very soon though, I just have
to try to contain myself until then, lol.
Other than being in and out
of the studio, writing, and the usual traveling, there
hasn't been much else going on really. But everything's
going great, and I can't tell you how blessed I feel
to have the opportunities I've had so far in my career,
and the ones that are in the works. So far this year
I've opened shows for Sara Evans, Jo Dee Messina,
Emerson Drive, Blake Shelton and Craig Morgan. I've
played a lot of the stages that they played on their
way up the charts throughout the years. And every
now and then when I'm beat down and tired from being
gone so much, or feeling impatient about things, this
feeling sneaks up on me and this little voice in my
head says, "Wow, this is really starting to happen!"
Sometimes I can't believe it, but it really is happening!
Words can't express how excited I am about it all,
nor can they tell you how thankful I am for all of
you supporting me and the guys dreams coming true.
We appreciate you all so much, and I can't wait to
sing for you again soon. 'Til then, take care and
keep in touch...
Much love,
Jason
