Hey guys, how are you doing? I wish I could tell you that I was home in my loft
writing this weekly journal to you, but instead I amhere in the
Baltimore airport
waiting on my delayed flight to
Nashville.. Now don’t get me wrong I love it
here, I think it’s a great place, but I ampraying that the flight makes it out
tonight because I have full press days in
Nashville on both Monday and
Tuesday. Oh well stuff happens and that’s the chance you have to take when
there’s bad weather conditions and you have to fly. On another note, I had the
privilege and honour to sing for a half hour and do the National Anthem at the
Redding Phillies game today, it was awesome!!! That was the second time now that
I’ve performed the anthem live, it felt good and at the same time relieving
to have done it again!! The crowd was very welcoming, as well as all the
staff and organizers of the game:)
Another exciting thing that happened within
the last couple of days was, my parents flew to
Nashville without me knowing and
totally surprised me… I haven’t seen them for 2 months or more, so it
was a real nice surprise.. They will be staying in Nashville for a week, and
although I have stuff going on while they’re here, its still nice to come home at the
end of the day knowing that they’re here:)
The Big Machine record deal is going so great, a lot of exciting things in the works! And I was excited because we were able to hire Shelley who was one of my record reps from Midas Records onto our team again… She is an awesome person to have around and that made me very happy:)!Unfortunately in the business stuff happens, and when I moved to Big Machine Records, the promotions team from Midas were let go.. It was hard
to see that happen, but unfortunately it does happen, and I pray that all those
wonderful people I worked with at Midas are filled with many more opportunities.
I’m very excited to be with Big Machine as I had mentioned in my last journal I
know they are the best, and it is going to be exciting to see what they can do.I’m just thrilled to be a part of the family! Thank you everyone for staying tuned every week to these journals , and I will talk to you next week… God Bless ag)
BIG things are happening for the KMLE’s Year in the Career artist - Adam Gregory! Read Adam’s newest blog here (dated August 5, 2008)
Hey guys… wow, where to start where to start… It’s been quite the week for
me, and for everyone involved in my career for that matter. I’ve now become part of the Big Machine Record label
family, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!!!! The deal got finalized a few days
ago and already good stuff has been happening! I’m so grateful for what Midas records
has done for me to date, and I’m so excited to see where Big Machine can take
it from here.. I met today with all the crew at Big Machine Records along with my
team of people and I tell you, what an amazingly dedicated staff of people they
are, I was impressed!!! They were very welcoming and just as excited as I
am to venture into this partnership:) Big Machines roster includes… Taylor
Swift, Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks, Jack Ingram, Danielle Peck just to name a few.< BR> So as you can see I’m in good hands. Since I wrote to you last week
and before the Big Machine stuff became public, I made an appearance in downtown
Colorado Springs at the So Do club. We had an amazing view of the mountains from where we were, we could see Pikes Peek in the distance.
Anybody that has been to Colorado springs would know just how beautiful that
is! I had the pleasure of doing the show with an up and coming artist named
Katie Armiger, and she did an amazing job I must say. I brought along Mark my lead
guitar player to accompany me, and we were again blown away with the crowd
response… They were into the songs, and there was even a lady in the front
row that seemed to know all the words to my songs, that was
impressive for sure.. Again, that’s a big deal to an artist when his or her
fans can sing all the words to there songs to the point where the artist can
basically stop singing at any point during the song, and know that that person
can continue singing, it’s awsome!! From there Barry my road manager, Mark and
I drove about an hour and half back to Denver where we ended up
staying the night. We caught an early red eye back to Nashville the next
morning.. I wanted add to this blog by saying that my band has been superb by
the way since being down in Nashville, I think you all know by now that they’ve
been living at my loft, it’s been quite comfy cozy haha.. No really, it’s been
great, we all get along and I don’t think theres been one argument that I’ve
witnessed since they’ve been here, which is awesome.. I totally appreciate the
fact that the band has dedicated every Monday morning as band meeting day, where they
talk and bring up interesting points about not only improving the show, but
how to maintain the loft and keep it clean. They’ve actually gone as far as
assigning chores to everyone so that everything runs smoothly at the loft. That kinda
team work really helps me out and it keeps the loft looking half decent: Back
to the music lol,, I’m just really really excited about all that’s happening!!!
I’m so incredibly thankful to God for all this, and for the fact that he has
sent this amazing team of people into my life to help further my career. It
really is a huge team effert to make a career come off the ground, and I will
forever be appreciative for everyones input and support.. You guys are amazing
people as well and know that the support is appreciated tremendously. I couldn’t
do it without all of you either, so thank you.. Anyways, I’m going to sign off
now and try and get some shut eye, so I will talk to you all again the start of
next week.. God Bless!
Hey guys, how y’all doing? The band and I have had somewhat of a busy week, it’s been awesome though!! The band and I are doing a lot of shows for radio station all over the USA. This past week we started off in Detroit. We took the bus there and played at Coyote Joe’s, and I tell you, what a great crowd! The band and I got up on stage and did about a 45 minute set playing all the new songs, put in a Vince Gill song to split it up a little and then ended the show with Crazy Days… it was a better turnout then we could’ve imagined. See the thing is, I’ve had a 10 year career in Canada already, sold a few albums, but unfortunately what I had built up in Canada couldn’t follow me down here to the US, so basically it’s starting right back at point A. Not saying that the success I had in Canada didn’t help things, because the record label obviously saw potential in the band and I, but that’s about as far as we could go on that… It’s all good though, because we are having a blast, the shows have been going real well, and the audiences have been wonderful! Now to leave off where I started, we started off in Detroit, and then made our way to Grand Rapids, and took part in the taste of Grand Rapids, and did a 60 minute show to another amazing audience! From Grand Rapids, we drove all night and landed in York Pennsylvania. We were able to take in the York Revolution game (York’s Baseball Team), and the band and I were the after-game entertainment.. They set us up in an area off to the side, not the field itself, but another area, and we played to an excited crowd of probably 300 I’d say, and just had an amazing time. I saw people actually sing along to Crazy Days, and any artist would tell you that that’s a pretty amazing thing to witness:) From there Scott, the on air radio DJ from 107.7, picked up my bus driver Big Dave, and brought him back and soon after we were leaving, and on route to Nashville. I’m doing the past weeks worth of laundry now, and I picked up some groceries at Walmart early today. I also worked out for about an hour and half; that felt good:) ,I’m sure I’ll have more cool stuff to tell you next week. Thank you guys, I appreciate you all. Goodnight:) God Bless!
Hey guys, I thought I would just email to let you know that the band and I just
did two shows this past week.. We Visited Des Moines Iowa, and also Madison
Wisconsin… the State of Cheese curds! The shows went over real well, the band
and I are really getting more and more into our groove:) It’s really cool to
witness the comfort zone between us all on stage, and it just gets more and more
relaxed. We’ve done a ton of shows in the past decade in Canada, but there was
times when we went months without playing because I was down here in Nashville
and they were in Canada, so it’s great to get out and play more and more! I’m
writing wit h my producer Keith Follese tomorrow at 10:30 am, so if all goes
well, we will get a good song out of it.. It’s an exciting process for sure to
watch a song come to life:) I’m also writing with Keith on Tuesday same time as
well. Other then that, I’m continually making phone calls into all the radio
stations that have added and supported my single Crazy Days, it’s just a way of
showing my appreciation for all there support:) I head out again Wednesday
Evening at around 8ish, and my band and I are heading to Detroit to do an
acoustic show for radio. I’m looking forward to that! Thank you guys for
reading my daily blogs, I appreciate the support you all give me, and I hope
that I keep these journals interesting enough for you all:) I’m heading to bed
now, so I’ll talk to you all next week… God Bless!
Hey guys, I had a whirlwind of a week this week! Once again I truly appreciate
your help in helping me achieve my goals and dreams, you really are the best. I
had a blast taking the bus out to Akron Ohio (WQMX), and Indianapolis (WFMS)
for two fun shows. Once again the people at the shows and the staff at radio
made the trip worth while, and go so quick! In Indianapolis we had the chance
to play for the staff and in Akron we played to a packed house of listeners and
staff. After a good night’s rest we headed back to Nashville and fun was waiting
for us! As some of you may know I celebrated my 23rd birthday this pa st week(
July 12) and due to commitments out of town on my actual birthday I celebrated
with my band and some of my closest friends on Thursday night. We all went
bowling and played a lot of awesome video games at “Dave & Busters”, no not a
friends place but an actual business that specializes in making everybody feel
like a kid. It really was a great party, it means so much to me to have great
friends around when family is so far away. It made my birthday even more special
reading all of your wonderful birthday wishes on my website and my myspace page.
I am always amazed how you guys think of me even with your lives being so full
of day to day events and busy schedules. I then headed out for a little R&R time
to catch my breath. I returned back to Nashville on Sunday night and I was off
after a few short hours of sleep to a writers retreat that I will fill you in on
next week.
Thanks for spending a little time with me aga in this week, sometimes I don’t
know which way I am headed but as long as I have fans like I do, I know I will
always be welcome!
God Bless!
Hey it’s AG… how are you guys? Today has been another very productive day for me. It started off with going to media training for a couple of hours. I find that this training is very helpful to me in dealing with the press on a day to day basis. I normally wouldn’t be the type that would want to do media training, but it’s been great because Donna, the lady that’s helping me is taking what I already know and just critiquing and fine tuning it. This is a time in my career where I am learning how to deal with new situations and preparing myself to deal with them in a positive way. This training will help make my responses to questions asked even better. Just as honest as ever but in more detail. Therefore I can still be who I am, but progress and get better at dealing with media as well as my fans. Once I was done with the media training today, I was met by my publicity team from Aristo Media. We went over to the Music Row magazine building where I met and sang to the great folks that work there. I was so honored to sing “Down The Road”, “What it takes”, “Tell me I can’t, and my current single “Crazy Days, they were super kind and welcoming. After that I had some time to kill, so I took my truck to the car wash and gave it a good over due cleaning. Now I’m just sitting here at home, got a little laundry done, and I’m gonna go hit the gym tonight. Staying in shape and being healthy is very important to me. Talk to you all next week, thank you and God Bless
Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend! I had things I had to do as far as
promo stuff in Nashville this past few days, but it’s been great! The band and
I just got back from doing shows and appearances in Roanoke Virginia, Virginia
Beach, and Norfolk Virginia ending off in Charlotte North Carolina. The shows
went well and people were very friendly:) This morning, being the 30th of June,
the band and I made a morning appearance on Tennessee Morning, hosted by Charlie
Chase and Kelly Sutton.I had a great interview, it was a pleasure being
interviewed by such professionals. Other than that I’m just going with the
flow. The band and I are getting very excited to do our first 4th of July show!
You know me, I will continue to keep you all updated as more stuff unfolds.
Thank you again for all the support, it means the world to me. God Bless!
“Crazy Days” For Adam Gregory All Summer Long Single Continues Charge up Charts
(Nashville, TN — June 26, 2008) NSA/Midas recording artist Adam Gregory has led a hectic schedule this year with no rest in sight, balancing radio tours, personal appearances, media opportunities and songwriting sessions.
In between recent visits to Kansas City and Virginia Beach, Adam found some time to team up with fellow songwriter and Curb recording artist Lee Brice (pictured below). Lee was one of the collaborators on Adam’s hit single “Crazy Days,” along with Kyle Jacobs and Joe Leathers.
“We’ve got a great connection going on right now when we sit down to write,” says Adam. “Even though we’ve completed all the tracks for the new album, you never know when an idea will spark a special song. We don’t want to miss an opportunity like that.”
“Crazy Days” continues its steady push up the charts, currently at #40 on Country Aircheck and #43 on the R&R charts. It moved six more spots last week up to #28 on the Music Row charts. The video is currently receiving impressive play on a broad cross-section of national and regional outlets across the country.
Adam was a hot item at this year’s CMA Music Festival as well, trying his hand as a fashion model, celebrity baseball player, jam host/headliner and of course, country music performer. He signed autographs for hours and thrilled thousands of insatiable concertgoers with his performances on the Greased Lightning Daytime Stages at the first two days of the festival.
His current coast-to-coast radio tour has seen Adam visit over 100 stations in 37 states since March. Adam will continue burning up the road this summer, visiting radio stations and making appearances across the country into August. His debut U.S. album is set for a fall release.
Pictured L to R: Lee Brice and Adam Gregory found some time recently for another songwriting session. The duo collaborated on Gregory’s current hit single, “Crazy Days.”
