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.

Hi!

I'm in sunny Florida right now, but we just heard that there was a tornado warning, so as you can guess, its not very sunny!  The weather fits my mood.  It is just my luck that the day before our first show, I come down with a HORRIBLE COLD!  Needless to say it is not doing good things for my voice.  I actually had to cut one of my songs because it just won't come out.  I feel horrible, but I'll just try to get as much rest as I can over the next 2 days and hopefully things will be better for our show on the 4th in Oxford, Alabama.

Enough of my sob story!  On the positive note, it is SOOO GREAT to be performing with David, Alexis, and Michael.  They are all such awesome people and AMAZING singers.  Please come out and see the show if we come close to you.  It is such a fun show.

Ok, now I have to go drink more throat coat and try to get some rest.  Talk to you soon!

XO-

HELLO ALL!!!

Well, I flew into LA for a week of rehearsals and who am I sitting next to on the flight?  Michael Sarver from Season 8.  What an awesome guy!  We shared our singles with each other and I have to tell you, he's one talented guy!

We got to the rehearsal studio around 2pm and walked into a room where I was immediately jumped on my none other than Mikalah Gordon.  (I love that girl)  It was a huge reunion with Chikezie Ezie, David Hernandez, Trenyce Gibbons, RJ Helton, Michael Sarver and myself.  I was waiting to see Alexia Grace because I was a big fan of hers, but I won't meet her until todays rehearsal.  

 I'm sure a lot of you are wondering why some of these idols aren't mentioned on my website and poster, but some of the shows were double booked and they are doing a separate x-mas tour.  SOOO just to be clear, my tour is Alexis Grace, Michael Sarver, David Hernandez and myself.  

 Day one is usually hard for us all to focus because although we all stem from the same root, we really don't know anything about each other!  I've never met Trenyce before, but we felt like we had so much in common just because of idol.  So, anyways, we all received our music and just did a little run through.  That was it for the first rehearsal.   

I'll definitely let you know how todays rehearsal goes, because I'll be meeting Alexis...YAY!!

Stay tuned for tonights blog!!!!!

Love,
