Gigs? Where are the gigs?

If you are a fan of Jason Michael Carroll (one would hope that has something to do with your arrival on the site) then you are no doubt looking forward to a hopefully full (and coming to a venue by you) concert schedule. While there has been no official word from either or his management that I have been privy to, I can say that some web searches have proven fruitful. Check the tour schedule ->>> over yonder and see if and when Jason and the boys are coming to a venue near you! I will be updating the list weekly as new dates come in - though as I said - these are unconfirmed dates. Check with a quick google search and you may find tickets already on sale, but these shows are not yet listed on JMC's official website.

If you were lucky enough to take in Jason's New Year's Eve show, you likely either were passing out the new "My Honky Tonk Friends" bracelets - wearing one - or perhaps the lucky recipient of one! They were apparently a hit and I cannot wait for my first chance to "share the love". Thanks everyone who ordered, if I don't say it often enough - HTF's ROCK!

And I should be joining Jason and the boys for their upcoming show at Joe's Bar in Chicago towards the end of February. Nothing beats betting on weather in February - in Illinois/Wisconsin. If might be sunny and 60 (highly unlikely) or we might have 10 feet of snow (slightly more likely) but I am keeping my toes and fingers crossed that the show will bring with it good (and safe!) driving weather so that I can make the 3 hour trip. If you are going - keep an eye out for me. I will have those bracelets mentioned above - and will be looking to share them. If you see someone wearing one - don't hesitate to ask where they got it, how to get one, you name it. In another land far far away, all JMC fans would be sporting these hot green and black bracelets - one can dream!

Bracelets and Holiday Cards and JMC - Oh My!

The Jason Michael Carroll "officially unofficial" fan club has ordered their JMC bracelets and are anxiously awaiting their arrival - hopefully just in time for Christmas gift giving. The holiday card exchange is off to a great start as well, filling fans mailboxes daily with concert photos and other mementos. Thanks to everyone who has participated in both of these activities! Love all the JMC fans, they are the best!

Not much news on the JMC front, the boys are hopefully in the studio putting the finishing touches on the upcoming sophomore album. At last word, we were looking in the neighborhood of a March/April release but have no official updates in the past few weeks. The songs that he is testing live are getting rave reviews and we are all looking forward to having the new disc in our collections.

Hope the weather is alright where you are. In Wisconsin, as so often happens in Wisconsin - we are in the single digits. No wonder there aren't many tours stopping by during the winter months. Most of those singers are southern born and bred - who in their right mind would head north this time of year? Wishing I was further south - and just a little towards the west coast based on the looks of the tour schedule for 2009.

Also if the powers that be happen across this blog - the "officially unofficial" fanclub would LOVE to have a membership level based fan club - how about setting that up, we have a bit of money to share in exchange for a benefit or two - maybe meet and greet passes. We don't ask for alot, but we love us some quality JMC time. Later!

Toys for Tots Guitar Jam Review

Thanks to Country On-Demand for sharing a great review of the benefit concert that was held last week. Artists included Lee Ann Womack, Jason Michael Carroll and Darryl Worley. Looks like it was a great show with the proceeds going to a great cause. Check it out at Country On-Demand :: Music

Schedule Changes

Jason Michael Carroll's tour schedule has been shuffled and shifted due to Trace Adkins rescheduling his December dates. Please check the schedule ---> to see if any of the changes affect you. Also February 21st is currently showing two places, one Jason! From what I can see on my end, he is booked for both Las Vegas and Wichita Falls, TX. As that gets hammered out, I will update the schedule with where he will REALLY be on February 21st! Stay tuned for updates, news - and more.

Stuck in Bed with JMC?

Star 96.3's morning DJ team John Flint and Tammy Lee spent the week in Nashville doing the CMA thing and if you were wondering about yesterday's shower picture of Jason Michael Carroll - that is them and that was last year. Not to be outdone by last years pics, this year they upped the ante to a photo taken of them in bed with artists. You can check out the photo gallery at Gallery - In bed with....
