This is a very exciting time for me as I celebrate not only being signed with Wild Oats Records in Nashville and recording four original songs on my debut Cd Breakin' Loose due for release in a matter of weeks now and the anticipated return to Nashville to record my full length CD in early 2005 but it's putting together a band to begin regional touring by May 2005 with National touring opening for other Artists by late 2006 that just keeps this journey going and it's my hopes that you too feel excitement today in sharing your passion to entertain....a dream is just that a dream unless you follow it and make it happen and it's never too late to follow ones dream because time is going to come and go whether you do something with it or not and for me this is my time...so with that being said I look forward to sharing this time and the mutual passion of music and performing with some of you after today's auditions and even though I will be sharing your videotaped performance with my record producer Steve Haggard and getting his professional feedback the decision will ultimately be mine based not only upon your talent but your personality as well and I will notify you by Dec. 23, 2004 of my decision, if chosen I will let you know when I call of a meeting date in Jan. to discuss rehearsing schedule, pay scales etc. and I must make mention that in Jan. 2005(date not made available to me yet)as my new band you will be introduced during an exclusive interview with me by a local TV Station, earlier in the year I gave an exclusive interview with KSTP 5Eyewitness News out of Minneapolis/St. Paul after I had signed with Wild Oats Records and this segment was aired on April 13 and April 15 2004 and the fan response was tremendous all I can say is be prepared that life will never be as you once knew it because we will be getting a lot of media attention both by TV stations and reporters that will only increase as time goes by as it just goes with the territory of being a recording artist and his/her band members that fans follow as well.
I wish you safe travels back home and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
All the best,
