Happy St. Patty’s Day!

I am bad…it has been a long while since I posted!

Life is good, but things have been moving very slowly. I guess when you’re working for a major record label and all record labels have lost and are continuing to lose money, you have to play the game and be overanalyzed and take each step carefully instead of just going in the studio and making your record for the love of Pete!

Anywho, I will most absolutely and definitely be knocking out the first half of my record in April, and then hopefully (everyone cross your fingers with me here) we will release the first single - which we pretty much all agree on - I will finish up in May/June, and then finally hit the road to do a radio tour.I’m told there’s still I good chance I will have a fall release for my record.

This has all been a very long and frustrating process for me, because it’s completely out of my control. BUT, we’re moving forward, finally.

I have had to change producers for reasons I really don’t need to get in to. Byron and I won’t be doing the record together, but I adore him, he is awesome, and we will hopefully work together in the future.

So Jerry Flowers, a close family friend, a completely talented musician/singer/producer/songwriter, currently touring in Keith Urban’s band, will be taking the honors. Everything in the process has really come full circle, because Jerry has been here since day one - he co-wrote many of the songs that will be on the record. And he and I are certain we’re going to make my dream record.

So there! That’s quite an update for you! Not the “I’m in the studio!” update I would like to be typing, but only a couple more weeks.

And we will definitely be having a Operation Record Making camera with us at all times, so you guys will be getting all sorts of fun little visuals from the studio. And then hopefully a first single and all that goes with very, very shortly after.

Phew! All that said, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!! As an Irishwoman myself, I think I’m going to go drink a Harp beer in honor of that long blog update. You all have a wonderful day, be safe, don’t drink and drive, and hang in there with me!!

Lovingly,

JH
