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!

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,

Thank you to everyone that made it out to 115 Bourbon Street this past Thursday night.  It was a great night and we had such a blast hanging out with Hairbangers Ball!  Check out the video section to see us performing one of my favorite songs (the Story by Brandi Carlile).  

It was nice to only play for an hour, but I am really getting excited for our first FULL NIGHT this Saturday.  And in case you forgot, ITS HALLOWEEN!  This show is going to be so fun.  Do you have your costumes ready?  The band decided to do a theme costume and it is going to be awesome.  Let's just say I get to live out one of my dreams with my costume.  I want to tell you what it is, but you'll have to come to the show to find out.  

Remember, there is a contest with great prizes so don't even think about showing up without a costume!  

See you on Halloween!

THANK YOU to everyone that came out to JOE'S last night to see my new band play our FIRST SHOW!  We had such a great time and I hope you guys enjoyed it.  If you didn't make it, don't worry we have plenty more shows coming up.  

You might not believe it, but I was SO nervous.  30+ songs is a lot of lyrics to remember!  Please go to the guestbook and let me know what you thought of the show.  Songs you loved, songs you didn't like so much, etc.  I appreciate the feedback.  

I think my biggest regret is that we didn't get to play any of my new ORIGINAL music, but I kind of want to wait until the album is ready before we unleash it on you.  I promise it will be worth the wait.  Maybe I'll give you a little taste at the Halloween show.  Trick or treat?  

I have to thank everyone at JOE'S BAR for being so great to us.  I LOVE JOE'S!!!  We are going to be back there in January and next time we will have the full night to rock the house.

I should have pictures and video from the show posted on the site in the next day or so so keep checking back.  

Don't forget, 115 BOURBON ST this Thursday!  See you there!!!
