Firsts and the 22nd!!!!!!!!!
Current mood: adventurous
Hi There….
I can’t wait to share some pretty cool stuff with you….
First of all… My website has been hit by over 51 countries… Can you believe that? There are 191 countries on this planet… so this is a nice start!!!!!
I decided to make this a year of firsts…….
Which leads too……One week from today…..next Thursday, January 22nd, I will be singing in Atlanta, GA at Smith’s Olde Bar in the Atlanta room at 8:00pm, with a musician I have never performed with before!!!! One of my goals this year is to work with different musicians. I think as an artist I need to experiment to grow…… So I have been in the lab mixing up some interesting compounds…… and I believe you will enjoy the concoction that this chemical reaction will make……. Personally I think it is smoking…… in a beautiful way…… (smile) If you didn’t understand that….. I am going to perform several new songs that evening with my new friend and accompanist Matthew Smith!!!!!!!! I am so excited and just can’t wait to share some new songs with you! The hardest part for me about being a songwriter is that I just want to record and sing all my new songs….. but I still got to nurture the old songs!!!!!!!!!!! It’s like giving birth!!!! A lot of work taking care of the babies!!!!!!!
Which leads to another first…..I have been taking A LOT of guitar lessons and am really trying to make that guitar sound beautiful….. I have always written everything on my piano and guitar, but have not been able to make my hands work as well as my voice……. So I have always had other people play my songs for me…… This year at some point, Maybe the 22nd, I am going to take the stage and accompany myself, and just go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (smile) Not all my songs….. just a few…… I love working with other people too much to want to do it alone….
Which Leads too……. One of the greatest things that has happened…..
I was reconnected with an old friend that I have known for almost my whole life! This friend is an entertainment lawyer, and has started helping me!!!!!!! We are having a lot of fun….. We have some BIG surprises we are working on!!!!!! Hopefully I will tell you about them soon!!!!!!
Lastly, Another Goal I have this year, continued from last year……. is to go on tour and open for someone REALLY super!!!!!(smile) So if all works out……. I will come play in your neck of the woods soon!!! If you can help make that goal a reality…… please contact me!!!!!!
I am going to start a contest right now!!!!!!!!!! If you do something really cool for the first time….. send me a picture or email me……. At the end of the year I am going to write a song about someone’s wildest “first”……. Won’t that be interesting!!!!!!!! Ummmmmmmm………. It is going to be an awsome song…… so please send me some very cool stories!!!!!!!!
One of my friends from college set up a fan page on facebook and you can join if you want……www.facebook.com/group.php .. also you can visit my reverbnation site and join my mailing list @ www.reverbnation.com/alexisvear This is where I send out my personal emails to my supporters!!!!!!!
I so hope I see you on the 22nd….. Thanks so much for your support…… You have No idea how much it means to me!!!!!!!!!
Love Ya,
Lexers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
