Hope you made it through the flooding over the weekend with minimal damage. What a crazy couple of days. We live in Cantonment and got out of it with only a muddy back yard. No complaints.
Blake Shelton has been a busy man lately. Not only touring, but working on a Christmas CD's and getting set for another season of "The Voice". Blake recently announced that he's in studio working on his first Christmas CD which should be out later this year. So far, he hasn't spilled any details on what songs he'll include on the project or a release date. I'll keep you posted on that. Also heard that Blake will be back in LA to start work on a new season of NBC's The Voice in the next couple weeks. Didn't that show just end? Kim & I watched it this past spring and really enjoyed it, along with American Idol. Now there's this new show "Duets" with Jennifer Nettles on ABC. I'm not knocking Duets, but I can't say I'm gonna watch it. I'm a little "reality-singing-show'd-out" for a while. I know they do a lot of pre-taping with The Voice, so I'm guessing that's what they're going to start on. When I hear an air date for the new season, I'll let you know.
Eric Church is coming back to the Gulf Coast and we have free tickets for you to win! If you missed him in March at the Wharf, be sure to catch him in Biloxi on October 19th. Interesting side note about Eric....he has officially waged war against ticket scalpers. He noticed that when tickets for his shows go on sale, professional ticket scalpers will buy hundreds of tickets at a time for regular price, and then turn around and re-sell them for huge profits. Not cool. Eric is peeved because his true fans have to pay much higher prices to get tickets to his show. He says she keeps his ticket prices reasonable (tix for his Biloxi show start at $37.50) so people can afford to go to the shows, but these scalpers will get online and buy up 75% of the floor seats before anyone else has a chance to get them. To fight this, Eric is going paperless. Here's how it works. When you buy your tickets online, you have to use a credit card, and when you get to the show, instead of handing them a ticket to get in, you give them the credit card you used to purchase the tickets online and an ID. They swipe the credit card, and you're in the door. I'll post a link with more info. This will put the scalpers who buy 295 tickets out of business unless that scalper wants to give his credit card to everyone who buys tickets from him. Sounds like it may be a bit of a hassle for some people, but at the end of the day, Eric's fans will have better access to his shows at reasonable prices. If the paperless thing works, I'm willing to bet we'll see quite a few other artists do the same. Tickets for Eric's Biloxi show with Justin Moore and Kip Moore will be on sale this Firday, June 15th. Here's the link for more "paperless" info: http://www.ticketmaster.com/paperless
