"BIG SKY" OUT NOW!

Hey Everyone,

"Big Sky" is in stores TODAY! I think I've been waiting 4 years to say that. Thank you to all of you for all the love and support you've given me over the years- I truly could not have put this record out without you and I am eternally grateful. NOW- go get your copy!!

I am in Baltimore right now. We are getting ready to head out to an in-store at the Sound Garden here and then tomorrow it is off to the ‘Noise In The Basement’ Convention, where I’ll perform a special acoustic showcase gig – this is biggest indie retail store convention of the year! Then it’s back home to get ready for Release Party Week!

It's going to be busy but great! There are a bunch of people coming in from out of town- thanks guys!! Here is a little run down of how that week will go:

Tuesday 23rd: - Tune in to the Fox 2 News at 8:00 am to catch my performance and interview with the morning team there! Then later that day (at 6 pm) I will be at the FYE in Macomb Mall sponsored by THE RIVER 93.9 for a performance and autograph signing! Please stop by and say hello (and of course pick up your copy of “Big Sky”)! Anyone who buys a copy of the album here is guaranteed a ticket to get into Thursday’s CD release party

Wednesday 24th - Another in-store and signing- this time at the Borders in Ann Arbor located at 612 E Liberty, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. Call 734-668-7652 for more info.


Thursday 25th - The US Release Party at Fifth Ave in Royal Oak!! First, will be the premiere of my documentary GRABTIME. I am really excited for everyone to see this. It is kind of like a behind the scenes look at the journey that brought me to where I am today. Thanks to Robin Davey for making this a reality! After the screening, a full band performance and I think it is safe to say we are ALL really looking forward to it! The River Roadies from 93.9FM will also be there - so come by have a great time AND get free stuff! Just a reminder - admission to this party is via your receipt from purchasing "Big Sky" at one of the 9 Detroit area FYE stores (listed on my site) - including those bought at the in-store on Tuesday!

Friday- rehearsals and preparation for Saturday!


Saturday 27th - The Canadian Release Party at The Sandbar! Admission to this event is FREE- it is a special thank-you celebration to all of you who have supported me all this time. Although the album won't be released in Canada until September 30- cd's will be for sale here! Again, we will start with a GRABTIME screening and end with a full band performance!! Corey from The MIX 96.7 will be the MC that night. Tune into the MIX all next week for your chance to win VIP passes to the party- this will include a special VIP viewing area, dinner, a copy of “Big Sky” and more!! It should be a great time!


I think that's it for now, I will be in touch again soon and hopefully- see you next week! And please don't forget to go get your copy of "Big Sky" in stores now!

Peace and love,
Jody

Countdown to release day!!

Hey Everyone,


With less than a week left until "Big Sky" hits stores things have really started to pick up!

I was in upstate New York last week for the Transworld Convention. I got to play a few tracks off "Big Sky" and meet some really cool people. Thanks to everyone at Transworld for this amazing opportunity!!

Next week is set to be one of my busiest yet. First and foremost "Big Sky" hit stores next Tuesday, September 16!! This will be my first national release and I couldn't be more proud! I have a great team behind me on this one and I feel so honored and appreciative for everything they have done to set this up for me. Thanks guys- from the bottom of my heart.

No rest for the weary! In support of the album release I will be doing an in-store performance and autograph signing at Sound Garden records in Baltimore at 6 pm on release day. All details can be found on my website. If you or anyone you know are in the area please stop by!! I will spend the remainder of release week in Baltimore at the Noise In The Basement Convention where I have another opportunity to show the retailers what I can do!

After that it is back home to rehearse and get ready for the in-stores and release parties!!! Special thanks to everyone at FYE, the Mix 96.7 and The River for supporting these events!! Hope to see you ALL there! Again all details can be found on my site.

If you are a Morning Show person, tune into the Fox 2 Detroit morning show on Tuesday, Sept 25 in the 8 am hour! I will be stopping by to perform and talk about the amazing journey “Big Sky” has been.

I’ll be in touch next week and let you know how everything goes!!

Peace and Love,

Jody
