| Cayamo Cruise | |
|
I'm hanging out on a quick vacation in Tucson (one of my favorite cities) and I'm getting ready to set sail again on the Cayamo Cruise! last year was an amazing experience for me. i left there so inspired....i never really stopped going to shows until about 1 or 2 in the morning every night and even then i would just go sit down at the piano in the bar and play Beatles covers... i ate hundreds of ice cream cones, swam in the ocean with my mom, and played blackjack with Shawn Colvin (wow that got out of control!). but the best part was always the music -- running from one end of the ship to the other trying not to miss a song from Emmylou, Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, the Shawns (Colvin and Mullins), Patty Griffin(!!!) and it goes on and on and on... the collaborating was really amazing too as everyone was sitting in during each others sets...i even got to sing "Mary" with Patty Griffin and Emmylou.....sigh this year i expect to have even more fun. the schedule is really cool and the other performers are all really special artists...the amazing Patty Griffin, Shawn Mullins, Lyle Lovett, Marc Broussard, my blackjack partner Shawn Colvin, and of course especially my beloved Indigo Girls. ;-) you can bet that everyone is gonna be playing together and shaking things up again! thanks to everyone for following me and the twins out to sea and an extra special thanks to those who donated money to the Looking Out Foundation in hopes of winning a cabin...the money we raised was way more than expected and I'm truly touched by the overwhelming support LOF has received from our fans in the last year. can't wait until we're all sunburned! xobrandi |

| Why "The Story" Is In A GM Commercial | |
|
Hey all. I’m writing you from a plane bound for Portugal. While we are gone you may have already heard our song "The Story" in an Olympic advertisement for GM. Depending on how you feel about music and advertising in general, you may be wondering why a band like us would do something like this. Well I have a few good reasons, so allow me to shine a little light on the subject. When GM first approached our band to use "The Story" in their 2008 Olympic ad visions of SUVs and full-size pick-up trucks driving through a rugged mountain range were dancing through my head. I promptly and politely declined. (Although I don’t want to be a hypocrite, our band did tour in a GM gas-guzzling van for many years) But, when they came back to us and offered to involve us in an ad campaign promoting hybrids, bio fuel, bio hybrids, hydrogen fuel cell cars and yes, even the infamous electric car the Chevy Volt, I felt the need to think twice about having the opportunity to be a part of a huge American car company creating an ad campaign for environmentally responsible cars. We feel they allowed more than a fair amount of input from us and made an honest effort to create an environmentally conscious ad. We are proud of it. I also believe in American jobs. Keeping people employed in the US and building fuel-efficient/alternative cars could help reduce and one day help eliminate our dependency on foreign oil. To really make a positive impact regarding the climate crisis we all need to work together to make the change, even GM. Regardless of what my feelings are about the agenda behind the sudden wave of corporate environmental awareness, its still awareness just the same. Thanks for hearing us out. The twins and I are proud to say that every last penny from the GM ad is being donated and split between several environmental organizations exploring alternative energy and effecting change on a grass roots level…sweet! Names and links to these organizations are soon to follow just as soon as the paperwork is done! And yes dad, we are still loud mouth tree huggers…sorry. xobc |
