Hey Glockstars!
IMPORTANT SCHEDULE CHANGE INFORMATION:
The Feb 12th show at Ballydoyle Bloomingdale has been moved to:
THURSDAY, FEB 18th.
The new Bally was not going to be quite ready for the 12th, so they asked us if we could move our show to the following Thursday night.
We are honored to be the first band to play at the new Ballydoyle. Come celebrate the Grand Opening with us! SLAINTE!

TO EVERYONE THAT ATTENDED GGB @ JOE'S ON WEED STREET.......
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Saturday nights show was one of/if not out best yet! The turnout was amazing and the crowd was awesome and rowdy!! (just how i like 'em) I owe a HUGE thanks to my best friend Niner and my hubby Joe for arranging my 'special guests' into the set list! Jordin Sparks, Melinda Doolittle and Chris Richardson all came and surprised me at my house the morning of the show and I literally fell to the floor in excitement and disbelief!! They got me sooo amped for the show (more amped than i already was, of course) It was pretty surreal when I was performing, looked down in a crowd and seeing them watching ME!!
The whole night was perfect!! From the new songs in the set list, to the company all the way down to the drinks:) SPEAKING OF NEW SONGS.....we played an original of mine, live for the first time. The song is called, "Taking the Keys". It's the perfect song for a girl who's tired of her drunk boyfriend. (i know that story all too well) Something else that was new was the merchandise!! I HAVE TEE SHIRTS!!! I'm working on getting them for purchase on the website, so stay tuned to see how you can get one if you're not in the Chi-town area!
Our next show at Joe's is on February 26th. But our next show in general is January 30th at The Lodge in Lisle! I hope to see you all there!!!!
Love,
Gina
The light at the end of the tunnel is finally in sight!
I feel like a broken record because I've been saying 'It's almost done' for about 4 months now, but it actually IS almost done now.
The mixing is pretty much complete and the album is scheduled to be mastered on Jan 13th. The mastering process basically puts on the finishing touches and makes everything sound perfect and ready for the radio. It should only take about 1 or 2 days to complete. After the masters are finished they need to be sent out to the CD-making company to be produced so that I can finally get it into YOUR hands. Hopefully the production turn-around won't be any more than a week or so.
If everything goes smoothly, the album should be ready for YOU by the end of January. Keep your fingers crossed! As soon as it is ready I'll let you know how you can get your own copy.
It has been a long road (almost 2 years now), but I am SO proud of it and I really think you're gonna love it.
Hang in there!

Last night was my hometown show for the Holiday tour and you guys did not disappoint! The entire crew agreed that you were the best audience so far! The 12 days of Christmas competition was my favorite part. You guys are loud!
Thank you so much for your support. There are a lot of people who are going to be sporting the brand new GLOCKWEAR! It is such a trip to see people wearing shirts with my logo on them. It was great to see so many of you after the show. I wish I could have stayed and talked longer but we had a long bus trip to Newark, OH (which is basically right smack in the middle of the state). We actually picked up two crazy fans that came on the bus with us. Ok, maybe it was just Michael's wife Tiffany and my Joey, but they are both crazy (in a good way).
We're here now and its starting to set in that this is the last show of the tour. As happy and excited as I am to go home for the holidays, I am also sad to be leaving my new friends. But the great thing about new friends is that you get to see each other again! Now I have excuses to take trips to Memphis to play with Alexis and to Jasper, TX so I can hang with Michael. David is coming to Chicago to come to my JOE'S show on Jan 16th! He is such an amazing guy.
If you are anywhere close to Newark, OH, then I hope you can come out to see our final performance. Talk to you soon.

Hey everyone,
It's been a while since my last blog (sorry!). Only 3 more shows to go on the Holiday tour and then its back to toasty-warm Chicago. (If you've been to Chicago this time of year then you know that is a joke. It's FREEZING!)
Although I've been sick most of the time, this tour has been a lot of fun. The best part is that I have grown so close with my fellow idols (Michael, Alexis, and David). My hometown show is this Saturday at the Paramount Theater in Aurora, IL, which is only about 10 minutes from my house, so I am really excited about that. I hope to see you there.
ALBUM:
I know I sound like a broken record, but it is getting SO close!!! Final mixing is taking a bit longer that we expected, but it is going to be worth the wait. 3 of the 8 songs are finished and they sound AMAZING!!! Mixing should be done in a week and then the album gets mastered (which doesn't take long). Still looking at a January release so hang in there! What a great way to start off 2010 :)
MY BAND:
Although I'll be sad to leave my tour-mates, the best part about the tour finishing up is that I'll be rocking out with MY BAND again. I can't even tell you how much I miss playing with them. We have a whole bunch of shows booked for Jan, Feb, & March so check out the EVENTS section.
T-SHIRTS:
I have T-SHIRTS!!! I am so excited about this! They totally ROCK and you'll be able to pick one up at any of our shows. This first round of shirts are the basic black concert T (they kick ass!) Let me know if there is a different style of shirt you would want. What other kind of merch would you like to see? Hats? Underpants? Night-vision goggles? Just let me know and we will try to oblige!
Thats all for now. Talk to you soon.
XO- Gina
