"2008' News" 01/11/08 - WE ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE OUR UPCOMING SPRING TOUR.. |
I AM SO READY TO DIG INTO THE NEW YEAR. 2008 PROMISES TO BE A YEAR OF AMAZING ENERGY, GROWTH AND CHANGE. WE WILL ELECT A NEW PRESIDENT. THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE WORLD IS FINALLY EMBRACING THE REALITIES OF THE NECESSITY FOR A GREENER OUTLOOK ON LIVING ON THIS PLANET. THE MUSIC COMMUNITY IS CONTINUING TO TACKLE THE CHALLENGES OF THE DIGITAL ERA, WHILE THE LIVE CONCERT EXPERIENCE IS STILL THE MOST EXCITING WAY TO HEAR, SEE AND FEEL AN ARTIST.
THE REO SPEEDWAGON FAMILY HAS HAD A WELL EARNED REST, AND THE EXCITEMENT OF GETTING BACK TOGETHER IS SPREADING THROUGH OUR CAMP.
I SPOKE TO ALL OF THE BAND GUYS THIS WEEK AND THE VIBE IS SO POSITIVE. WE ARE THROWING AROUND IDEAS FOR THE SET LIST THIS YEAR, IDEAS FOR ARRANGEMENT CHANGES, WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR WEBSITE FOR THE COMING YEAR…ALL GOOD STUFF.
I SPOKE TO PAUL DEXTER, OUR LIGHTING DESIGNER, AND HE HAS SOME AWESOME IDEAS FOR THE LOOK OF THIS YEAR’S PRODUCTION. OUR CLOTHING DESIGNER, KAREN DUSENBERRY, IS SEWING LIKE THE WIND SO WE ALL WILL BE STYLIN’ ON STAGE. THE OFFICE IS BUZZING, SORTING THROUGH VARIOUS TOURING OPPORTUNITIES, SPEAKING OF WHICH…
WE ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE OUR UPCOMING SPRING TOUR. WE START OUT PLAYING SOME BEAUTIFUL THEATER SHOWS, AND IN LATE MARCH WE TEAM UP WITH OUR OLD FRIENDS, STYX, AND JOIN FORCES WITH THE MIGHTY DEF LEPPARD FOR A MONTH OF ARENA CONCERTS (CHECK OUT THE DATES ON OUR WEBSITE) WE DID A FEW GIGS WITH THOSE GUYS LAST SUMMER AND IT WAS A BLAST.
IN EARLY FEBRUARY WE WILL BE RELEASING THE SECOND SINGLE, THE TITLE SONG FROM OUR “FIND YOUR OWN WAY HOME” CD. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT LIKE THIS SONG IS THE EMOTIONAL CENTERPIECE OF THE ALBUM, AND I CAN’T WAIT TO TURN IT LOOSE ON RADIO STATIONS ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, (BUT I WILL ANYHOW), YOUR SUPPORT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO US. IN THIS ERA OF POLLS, FOCUS GROUPS, AND DEMOGRAPHICS, THERE IS STILL NOTHING LIKE GOOD OLD FASHION CALLING YOUR FAVORITE RADIO STATION TO REQUEST A SONG YOU WANT TO HEAR.
WE HOPE TO BE RETURNING TO EUROPE AND GREAT BRITAIN IN 2008, AND HOPEFULLY TO JAPAN AS WELL. “FIND YOUR OWN WAY HOME” IS NOW IN FULL WORLD WIDE RELEASE, SO WE WANT TO BRING OUR LIVE SHOW AROUND THE WORLD TOO.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR FRIENDS AT “ARF”, WHICH IS OUR FRIEND TONY LARUSSA’S ANIMAL RESCUE FOUNDATION. DAVE AND I HOPPED ABOARD JERRY REINSDORF’S JET LAST SATURDAY, AND WERE WHISKED OFF TO PLAY AN ACOUSTIC SET TO BENEFIT THIS CHARITY. THE EVENT IS ALWAYS SUCH A GOOD VIBE, AND I THINK THIS YEAR WAS THE BEST EVER. TOWARD THE END OF OUR SET, TONY AND HIS WIFE, ELAINE, SYMBOLICALLY BURNED THE FACILITY’S MORTGAGE PAPERS, SIGNIFYING THAT IT HAD BEEN PAID OFF IN FULL…ALL THROUGH DONATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE AMAZING “ARF” VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF MEMBERS.
OKAY, THAT IS THE LATEST FROM “REO WORLD HEADQUARTERS”, HERE IN BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA…
SEE YOU ON THE ROAD.
KC
