I’m happy to report that “Into the Quiet” is getting some airplay from stations all over the country – and I’m particularly pleased that a number of songs from the album have been played by WYCE, the community station of my sometime-hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan (and where Mike’s family lives). They’ve been good enough to even have me in the station before to perform, and hopefully I’ll be able to do that again soon!
I also am very happy that Houston’s KPFT is playing songs from the album – they gave some love to my last album, too. I think it’s about time I start planning the Texas tour! Some of the other stations include: KSCR, WSIN, WMFO, KHSU, KSAU, and WMHB….so if any of those are your local stations, call to request your favorite song!
We’ve been sending out more CDs to more stations, and hopefully we’ll be able to post a bigger list soon. While college and community radio are the best formats for my music, everywhere I’ve lived, they tend to be my favorite stations anyway, and I’m happy to support them however I can. I love that, if my music gets played, it’s for no other reason than because someone at the station loves it…which is, it seems to me, the way radio should be!

So tomorrow I’ll be on my fave station, WYCE, here in Grand Rapids, playing a couple songs and chatting up with PWA event tomorrow night with Kristin Salerno, the event hostess with the mostest…putting it mildly. This girl has been working like crazy on the fundraiser and I know it’s going to be a fabulous success. But we’re still going to get on the radio and try to get even more of you to come… :) It’s 88.1 FM if you want to tune in at noon eastern time, or just go to www.wyce.org.

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m back from a fantastic trip to Michigan that included an interview at WYCE – one of my very favorite stations – and a standing-room only show! Thanks to Grand Rapids for showing us such a warm welcome back. We’ve got some exciting things going on – first off, I’ve got 2 video entries in the FameCast contest. Visit my Famecast profile to vote for me if you have a chance! I’ll also be filming a bona fide music video in February, so stay tuned for that!

Mike and I are back in Grand Rapids, MI for a visit, and we decided to play a show at Schuler Books during our trip. Schuler is a fantastic place – a big bookstore and cafe like a chain bookstore, but it’s locally owned. And they actually have an entire ’studio’ at the back with a stage, PA, etc that creates this really great listening-room experience- i.e., you’re not playing in between bookshelves or in the middle of cafe tables or something. :) So we were excited to play there, but having not been back to the Midwest in a couple years, really, we weren’t sure what to expect.
Happily, I was asked last-minute to come in to do an in-studio appearance on WYCE- GR’s community radio station and one of my very favorites- and the GR Press wrote a little blurb about the show in the calendar, so that was all pretty exciting. And then, perhaps because of the coverage, or for whatever reason, the show was absolutely packed! People couldn’t even find seats at one point…and everyone was very attentive.
All in all, it was more than I could have asked for – I really sincerely thank everyone who came out, and I hope that those show did enjoyed it as much as we did! Here’s hoping for many more like that one… :)
