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!

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....

Lions, Tigers & Radio Interviews Oh My!

Truth in advertising - you will find no lions nor tigers in today's post. You will however find some fantastic links to interviews with Jason Michael Carroll from yesterdays Country Music Awards.

Leading off is a great video clip with Blair Garner. Jason discusses this past Halloween, studio time and the upcoming album, and of course the light(s) of his life, his children. Check out After Midnite - Media Manager and look for the CMA link. Jason's clip on page 3 and is well worth checking out.

Aside from that - not much going on. One of the interviews states March or April for the sophomore CD release. It sounds like he has one more song to either cut or recut, but otherwise it is coming together well. I can quite honestly say that I have never looked forward to a CD as much as I am looking forward to this one. With hot songs like Barnburner and the newly released "Where I'm From" and the sentimental "Tears", it is going to be awesome and I look forward to buying a few copies to share as well as my personal "stash".

Thanks Cayce for sharing this great video too - one can only hope ;)
