DAY - 262

Rock Band camp session 2 is in full swing and its hard to find time to get some things done, but fortunately I'm managing to squeeze an email here and a phone call there.  First however, some cool updates...

1)  Here's the new song demo I promised!  The song is called "Carousel" and it was written by the Sweet Angeline team of me, Tye James and Liv Devine and Nashville hit songwriter, J Fred Knobloch.    The song was recorded and produced by Fred and I from both of our studios via dropbox.  Tye James is singing lead on this one and Liv and I are on backgrounds.  Hope you enjoy! http://mynameisaugust.bandcamp.com/track/carousel

2) Playing with the Liv Devine Band and opening up for country superstar, Wynona Judd this Friday @ Mayo Center for Performing Arts in Morristown, New Jersey!!

Alright, so a couple things we're on the agenda for today.  The first was to email both
contactmusic.com and Leanne Summers from LA Women in Music.  The objective is to get to Disney Music's head music supervisor and creative director, Cheryl Foliart.  Long story short, you may have guessed it, but I'm trying to get "Heart On A String" to Cheryl.   Both of these other contacts have been in connection with Cheryl and I figured if I could formulate and introduction through them,  it would be better than just a cold-call to Cheryl directly.  After a bunch of research it looks as though Cheryl Foliart and Ken Bunt are the main people running things at Disney Music.  Getting to them is the hard part... but today was a start.

The second thing on the agenda today was to call J Fred Knobloch regarding "Carousel".  I found out  that Lady Antebellum is looking for songs for a new record.  I called Fred to see if he thought it'd be a good idea to pitch Carousel to Lady A.  Not only did he think it was a great idea, but he said he'd make the pitch right away!!  More to come on that... keeping our fingers crossed...that would be an amazing cut!
