James Breedwells Nashville Palace Songwriter Series

Our March 11th Songwriters Showcase at The Nashville Palace was great. There was a big turn out ... got to meet some new songwriters which is always GREAT! Hey, Rob Wilbur from Michigan and Hunter Murphree from Texas.... Good luck with your songwriting, guys! James Breedwell, our host, checking my mic. Thanks, James!

Here are a couple of my new songs ... hope you enjoy them. School is keeping me pretty busy right now. So this is sort of short!





More later.... We are booked for the Palace, April 8th at 7:00 so drop in if you're in the area. Thank you Uncle Bethel for coordinating these events for us.

Look for me on Facebook! Check out MySpace!

Homegrown Songwriters At The World Famous Nashville Palace

Hey, blogger friends! Songwriters from North Alabama were invited by James Breedwell to do a showcase at his Nashville Palace Open Mic Series. Mr. Breedwell has a show every night somewhere in Nashville! Our friend, Doug Budzak of Uncle Bethel and Rockit Juice Audio, coordinated the hour and half show. It was a lot of fun. We are scheduled to go back for another showcase in March. I’ll let everyone know when that’s scheduled and if you are in the area please drop by to see us.

I hope you enjoy these videos from our showcase.

I've finished writing a batch of new songs with my guitar ... they're ready for copyright and registration.

I my guitar!

iPOP! Los Angeles 2010

iPOP! in Los Angeles was a wonderful opportunity and an awesome experience! I loved it… every minute. I am so blessed. Where ever my music takes me, I meet the nicest people and make friends… lots of internet friends, too.

Did a little sight-seeing before the work started…

JRP Birmingham Team … we had a great time at several “boot camps” last fall and winter getting ready for iPOP! We competed with each other, and against each other during iPOP!competitions, but still encouraged and supported each other… that’s what friends do….right? Should I tell you now that competition was stiff? Oh ye-ah!

Hayley, MaryJustice, Olivia

Evelyn (Oneonta, Alabama) and I were paired together during “boot camp” and did an audition situation-scene together. Fun to work with. We made each other laugh and it was hard to stay focused without breaking up!

Ethan and MaryJustice
Ethan (Addison, Alabama) carried away almost all the top male awards! He went to boot camp at first just to act, but when Whitney saw him she said modeling, modeling! He did and he won! He and his mom, Kathy are like family now.

I was blessed to place in the top ten in iSING! and top ten in TV Commercial/Beauty! Got 8 singing callbacks and two acting callbacks.

My Mom, Marcia, and me at the awards banquet.
Whitney, Birmingham Director and MaryJustice

Chris Brochu
Chris was an iPOP! “staffer” and helped contestants line up, etc. He helped me with my guitar…

Chris Brochu and MaryJustice

He said he does “silly” better than smiling in pictures … works for me!

This elegant dessert served at the awards banquet was yummy. In fact the whole trip and experience was yummy! I’m ready to go back! Back to school and rehearsals!

Hey, everybody, I'll be in Nashville tonight at The World Famous Nashville Palace singing with a bunch of Huntsville songwriters. If you're in that area drop in from 7 - 8:30 and say "hello!"

Update From Los Angeles

Hey, everybody! Things have been real crazy and busy over the past weeks. I haven't updated this blog in a while. Christmas was wonderful. I didn't take much of a Christmas break but it was still a lot of fun with family and some friends. Santa Claus brought me a Blackberry! Yea! I can get on the internet, email, etc. with it!

The first semester in my home school program is finished! I'm still loving it and doing great...
I've already been in school more hours than kids in public school... read more books.

RIGHT NOW, I'm in Los Angeles for iPOP!

Thanks to everyone who made this trip possible. It's busy right now with workshops and the auditions have started. I'll try to give some details when I get home. We got here Thursday afternoon and I'll head back home on Wednesday. Please send your prayers and good thoughts my way.

Thanks!
