well a lot of stuff is going on this month. first, there’s a brand new song available for download…shows in western connecticut and new york…and more to come
i guess it is. wow…if you don’t pay attention, time just disappears on you. happy easter for those who celebrate it. happy spring to all!
well a lot of stuff is going on this month. first, there’s a brand new song available for download from my vault. it’s called “Goodbye” and is available for purchase here. if you can’t or don’t want to pay, that’s OK too…it can be streamed and downloaded from here (for free): http://www.reverbnation.com/jamiegray
next, if you are in the western connecticut area, i’ll be playing at open mic nite at the georgetown saloon on tuesday 4/13…sometime between 7:30 and…whenever. on the 17th i’ll be playing with will king back at the coffee labs roasters in tarrytown, new york 8-10pm. that show will be broadcast on blogTV.com if you can’t make it in person. then on the 29th will and i will be playing on the western connecticut state university campus around 9pm, and that show will be re-broadcast on WXCI radio (and via their internet site) the following sunday afternoon (5/2).
will and i have been enjoying playing each others music, and are hoping to announce some other shows really soon. we’ve even talked about some studio work…nothing planned yet, but…
now for the tough news…i am really not sure i can keep playing the thursday night shows on blogTV. this thursday, 4/8 there will NOT be a show. i am not sure yet about 4/15. i know that a whole bunch of you will be disappointed, and i promise i’ll try. be sure to join the mailing lists and subscribe to the blogTV channel so you hear about upcoming and spontaneous shows…they may not all be on thursday nights.
i really have to apologize to everyone. last thursday night was a pretty screwed up show…and that’s actually a big part of my decision. i simply don’t want to broadcast if i can’t give you guys my best. i’ve got a lot of distractions and conflicts right now…and also i want to take some time to focus on recording some material for you, and maybe make a few new videos. so, i’m sorry if i can’t make every thursday night for awhile. i will make some…and maybe some other nights, so be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out.
i probably don’t say it enough, but you all mean a lot to me and i think of everyone of you as friends. i’m going to keep playing for you, and making new music…i promise. i just hope you all bear with me during these crazy and trying times. and for those of you musicians, i’m sorry if i don’t make your shows on blogTV…i will keep trying to make every show i can. that’s a promise.
once again, thanks for listening and being there for me. some of you i consider among my closest friends, and i hope that never changes. you all inspire me and make me want to play more and more.
much peace,
jamie
will king and i are playing again in Tarrytown, NY at Coffee Labs Roasters on the vernal equinox 3/20. the show is at 8pm eastern and will be broadcast on blogtv.com for all those who can’t make it to NY. for those in the neighborhood, come on out and help us welcome spring 2010 (it won’t be soon enough for me!).

i am working on some new music for your consumption and download…maybe even a new video or two. if you haven’t seen it already, you should check out the latest jamie gray video on you tube. it’s not on my account, because the lyrics and video were done by my good friend amy novak, so the video is posted on her page…check it out here: “Love Isn’t” – Original Song by Jamie Gray and Amy Novak
will and i also have a show on the local college radio station next month, and i’ll be playing at burlap & bean in may.
subscribe to keep posted on more events as they are added to the schedule, and don’t forget to check out the weekly show on thursday nights at 10 pm.
peace, jamie
As I’m writing this, Didgeod is finishing up his weekly show on BlogTV.com, playing some of the most beautiful music…which vibrates the very essence of my being every time I watch and listen…which is every Monday night.
Watching Didgerod “Thunder Hawk” is really very much like going to church…except there are no false idols or a bunch of rules to follow. Instead there are just universal vibrations from ancient instruments (that’s what the banner on Rod’s show page says…and it is very truthful).
Each week as I listen and watch (more listen than watch really, my eyes are often closed) I can’t help but reflect on all of the ways I can be a better human and bring more light into the world. Isn’t that what church is supposed to be all about?
So that’s when it struck me…
the church of no religion
follow your heart and the universal vibrations
I typed it into Skype and Julia replied: “that’s all the religion I need”.
Me too. Thanks Didgerod Thunderhawk.
Didgerod’s Show is Every Monday night at 8PM MST (10pm EST)
Starting tomorrow, BlogTV will be featuring my show every Thursday!
Starting tomorrow, BlogTV will be featuring my show every Thursday! Woot! I sent them some pics and they did up an ad (below) to run on their main page…AND they even made me a new banner for my show page! How awesome is that!
Thank you Kara Hannah 🙂
I went to an open mic last night…played a few songs and met a few new friends…Andrew, Brian, Valerie good to meet you guys. I’m going to have to do that more often…maybe there’ll be a bit more of an audience next time…js.
I am working on a video for “Lost In Seattle” to get it up on YouTube for tomorrow as well. I still can’t remember all the words…lol. Don’t tell anyone you see me peeking at the lyrics on film. sshhhhh! 😉
Hope to see everybody tomorrow night on the big show…be sure to sign up and subscribe here so you can get all the announcements (no spam…promise!)
peace, jamie
I recorded this song during a BlogTV broadcast…and I did a good job of mangling the actual words and making up a few new ones to fit. It felt good while I was playing it though, so I decided to share it.
The actual lyrics are below…enjoy!
Every Time You Fall
Well Ive been thinking about a lot of things lately
You know I really cant say why
And Ive been thinking about all the things I used to know
Ive been wondering if it aint just a great big lie
Then the sun comes up and the moon goes down
And I wonder if it means anything at all
And the one thing that you know is it gets a little harder
Holding back the tears, from every time you fall
Well Ive been laughing about the things I find funny
But Im really trying not to cry
And Ive been wondering about the reasons for the suffering
In between the time when were born and die
Then the sun goes down and the moon will hide
And the darkness of the night makes you feel so small
And the one that you know is it gets a little harder
Every time youre getting up from every time you fall
Well Ive been dreaming about tomorrow just a little bit
Brighter than the day before
And Ive been praying for peace and a little understanding
Just a little less hunger, a little less war
Then the sun goes down and the missiles fly
Or a car blows up, some bodys children dying
And the one thing that you know is it gets a little harder
Holding back the tears from every time you fall

I wrote this song quite a few years ago, about one of those relationships that come and go so quickly….before you even know you were in it.
I tried to keep the footage pretty simple and raw…somehow it seemed better that way. I hope you agree.
