Sorry for the lenghty delay between blogs -- hopefully you didn't give up on me.
So here we are - 2009! I can hardly believe it has been 9 years since we were all worried about our computers failing due to y2k. Time flies.
2009 promises to be a great year when it comes to new music. Yes, you heard it right - NEW MUSIC. In fact, today was Amy's first day in the studio to begin work on her new record. She is very excited about some of the songs she has been recording and wants to get them recorded and released as soon as possible this year. It is too soon to give you a feel for what the style of the recordings will be, but she has written or co-written all of the songs she is planning on recording. I promise to give you more details in the coming weeks.
January kicked off with a bang in Nashville. Amy and several other artists joined the Jonas Brothers for a concert at the Ryman on January 4th. Here is a clip from youtube in case you haven't seen it:
The Jonas Brothers at the Ryman
We are also putting the finishing touches on the full launch of the website now that the Lead Me On and Christmas tours are behind us. We should have something to unveal in the coming weeks... as well as a BIG announcement for Friends Of Amy members.
So come back often and I will keep you updated with news from the studio, candid photos of the recording process, and maybe even a sneak peak at one of the songs... And also, keep checking Amy's blog because she is going to rev it back up again.
More to come...
Jennifer
WOW Jennifer !
Exciting to hear recording is underway for a new release of Amy's music :-)
We sure do benefit from your taking time out to "blog" with all you have to balance in your life.
You are valued and appreciated ! ! !

Hey Jenn,
I was so excited when I saw your new blog. I can't wait for Amy's new album. I also can't wait for the "BIG announcement" for FOA members.
Here's to health and happiness for you and Braden in the new year.
So was your prediction right: both of you in bed before the New Year?
Bye,
Steve

Happy New Year to you, too, Jen. :)
It'll be exciting to see what Amy's doing, especially after hearing about her getting so revved up from the Lead Me On music and tour. Thanks for sharing what you can.
I hope you have a great 2009 -- I know I'm excited to find out what's in store for all of us.
Blessings,
Merrie

Cool! So glad Amy is back in the studio and getting her creative juices going again. Sounds like the tour this past year did her a world of good! Looking forward to lots of new music from our favorite girl! :-D

I knew you would update us eventually! We can always count on you!! Kudos! I hope the song that Amy and Kim did together gets released, along with the others we heard on the LMO tour.

Thanks for the blog and update Jenn, but if you want to keep this web site interactive and fun, Amy needs to be posting comments too I know she's busy, but this web site is hers, right!! Otherwise. I feel like you're wasting your time here, Anyone else agree with me?? Anyway, I'm really looking forward to new music from her.
Posted by: melanie | January 14, 2009 at 08:03 PM
I don´t think that JEN is wasting her time here! It´s great that she keeps us updated.
I love to read her posts.
But I agree that it would be great if Amy will find time to share here thoughs and some news, too.
JEN please don´t stop writing your blogs.

Folks,
Without a doubt, frequent blogging is a MAJOR commitment! I can speak from personal experience when I say that during some busy times in the year, an entire month can sneak by in between blog posts on my own site. I don't plan that to happen, but there are times that it does. So I can certainly appreciate that we'll see more blog activity here during some parts of the year (like when on tour) than other times.
Thanks for blogging when you can, Jennifer. It is most appreciated.
Best regards,
David
