My duet with Paul Oxley, Lucy, You Don't Sing Anymore, has been nominated for Radio Song of The Year in Svenskfinland. Please head over to www.musiktalang.fi and vote! The winner will be announced at the Musik & Talang event in Vaasa on September 21-22 where we are set to perform at The Doo-Bop Club alongside our friends Icons of Elegance and The Northern Governors on Friday, September 21st.

Holiday Single Sessions

This week me and Oskar Nyman (of The Grace) went into the SAE Studio in Stockholm with our drummer friend Jonas Backman to record two Holiday songs that will hopefully be released in time for X-mas. We recorded the tracks, Merry Christmas My Love and Every Day Is Like A Holiday. Can't wait to share these tracks with all you music lovers out there!

Here's some pictures from our show at Bara Vi in Stockholm last week and from the Holiday Single Sessions..

Take care and hope to see you at M&T next week,

Last Days of Summer

Aloha,
 
It's been a while since the last update from The Grace Camp so here's what's been going on..

We had a great time at Jakobs Dagar in Jakobstad in July. Thank you all for coming out! Tony Laurila was kind enough to send us some photographs that he took of our show at Gågatan.

Good times in Jeppis, photos by Tony Laurila

We're still busy writing new stuff and we hope that we can hit the studio soon for some serious recording sessions. We're also excited about upcoming shows in Finland, Sweden and the UK in the fall. Some dates have already been posted here, check out the upcoming shows section. We hope to announce more shows asap :-)

Stay tuned folks, oh and here's a little pic that our dear Ashley Fayth snapped of Jerry, Oskar and our Danish "brother from another mother" Andreas Larsen at the grand Canadian Music Week adventure in Toronto in March.

True Professional

Hello my friends!

Here's a few updates from The Grace Headquarters...

The leading Finnish Weekly in North America, Vapaa Sana, wrote about my grand visit to the Canadian Music Week in Toronto in their 13/2012 issue alongside the other Finnish acts Neufvoin and Felix Zenger. I evidently stated that I'm too old for Pop so that's why I'm a Country musician, man I must've been tired after my flight :-)

The song True Professional that I co-wrote with the talented Kevin Charge and Duncan Townsend in Austria last year is coming out on Duncan's upcoming album Up Sides Down (out on Familyhouse Records on April 20). I'm very excited about that and I highly recommend you all check out Duncan Townsend at www.duncantownsend.com and you can pre-order the album here: www.amazon.de

We had a wonderful band rehearsal with The Grace last Sunday. The band sounds great so you all should definitely come out to the shows in Helsinki (Henry's Pub, Thursday May 10) and Porvoo (Bar Soho, Friday May 11) next month! I'm looking forward to playing with these crazy cats once again.

Ok for now,

//Jerry
