wonder where you'll go, girl!
What are the odds two of my clients would come out of the same backstage tent? I got to see Shantell Ogden and Dakota Bradley both play the Samsung Stage at CMA Fest.
Btw... check Dakota's epk with his incredible story. It involves a house burned down, Ellen Degeneres, Byron Gallimore and Tim Mcgraw.
Michelle Willis also has been getting tons of shows... here she is in front of over 1,000 at a memorial service, passionately singing 'For Good' (from Wicked.
Ali Sperry just got back from a Colorado tour with her fabulous band "The Family Vacation", supporting the release of her "Storybook" alt pop album.. She dates the sweet drummer (don't ask me how that happens:) She is already gearing up for her August tour.
Ali having... and giving... a great time!
CMT Edge did a great interview with Radney Foster on his new album "Everything I Should Have Said". We've been working via Skype a bit because his touring right now has been tough! (A quality problem, though).
Did I miss you? If you have some cool news to share, please email me so I can get it in next issue!

Judy's News:
Studio work:
We finished all vocals and are now in the middle of mixing the Jenny Tolman project I am producing. As the mixes come in for tweaking I can tell that Mainframe owner/engineer Nathan Smith is as excited about it as I am. . Stay tuned...
I produced vocals for Shantell Ogden on some songs that may be in an upcoming movie. James Ausin Wyle engineered.
Me and Shantell celebrating a great day of final vocals...
I don't know why we're pointing out the pop screen:) HAHA
Songwriting:
I had two incredibly sweet and
productive songwriting sessions recently...a three-way writing session with
Paulette Carlson (yes - of Highway 101!!), Michael Stergis (formerly
with Crosby Stills & Nash) and veteran songwriter AJ Masters.
AND... our son Peter came up with
a very cool groove on guitar. John and I sat in on it with beat and
melody - can't wait to see what the muse does with this one!
Presentations:
I was
invited by Eric Normand to do a workshop on the voice for the Berklee
Jam this month. It was videotaped; I will let you know when viewable.
