What’s New???
Hello! Hope this newsletter finds everyone doing well. I find it hard to believe it’s already October. I’ve got a birthday this month along with about 20 other people I know. And if you want to ask how old I am, feel free. But the answer is going to be 35, and no that’s not really how old I am! I just always say that. Lol.
Last month was a good month. I mentioned all the weddings I was playing at in my last letter. The GAC wedding broadcast did give us a snippet of airtime, which is better than none. Did anyone get to see it? I didn’t. I think I was on the road when it aired. I heard from the bride that she saw us on there, and that they’re doing great. The second wedding in K.C. was a breeze; just one song in the wedding and the same song at the reception. That one was for some friends. The last one was cool too, but a little different. I shared the three-hour performance with fellow singer/songwriter, Amy Chappell. There was no first dance, no father/daughter dance, nothing. We were meant to be background music only, and that’s what we were. We weren’t even under the tent! Probably about 20 yards or so away by ourselves. It seemed kind of funny to me, but we still had a good time and the bride and groom seemed to enjoy their reception.
I also recorded five new songs at the beginning of the month. It was my first session that I got to produce on my own, so I was real excited. I borrowed the talents of some of my favorite musicians in town who I’ve worked with in the past. They all did an awesome job, along with the engineer who tracked and mixed. The songs all turned out great and I’m adding a few of them to the set list. Fun, fun, fun!
The only other thing I can think of to tell you is that I’m doing a show tomorrow night and next Friday night at Bullseye’s Bar & Grill. There are going to be some folks from record labels and management out to have a look, so keep your fingers crossed for me and say a couple of prayers too! I’ll keep you updated as to what happens with it all. Either way I’m just pumped to have the opportunity.
Alright, I’m gonna sign off for now. Thanks so much for all your support this last year or two, and for just being my fans! I hope to see you soon.
Jason
