They seem to have started the votes over again, but based on the last numbers, Blake now shows up in the little pictures on the top (the top 10). He was number 4. It's hard going against those darn Jonas Brothers. LOL. Don’t forget to vote for Blake on the musiqtone poll.

He toured with 311 last year. He does Jewish Reggae, which is better heard than explained. I had never heard his music before but loved him and downloaded from itunes the next day. The crowd loved him, too. He gained a lot of fans touring with 311. That's a gig that would be perfect for Blake.

I think Blake would have to change his show quite a bit to tour with a bigger name, especially if that takes his show out of the smaller club venues. 311 tours in larger arenas and outdoor arenas, so I'm not sure that is a good mix for B. I'm not even sure music or fan wise it would be a good mix. I would need to think hard to decide who would be a good mix for B. He's sort of a paradox, which makes it difficult to choose a good tourmate. I'm all for his tour being in clubs, where he headlines, and him staying away from the larger venues that Jordin is hitting with her tourmates. I don't think his best would be showcased well in the larger places. The touring thing is interesting.

Very articulate. Personally, I think if he does a small tour, it will have to be someone with either his hiphop sensibilities, or someone more jazzy. I would prefer him to grow more in the jazzy/ambient side of things, and use his crooner's voice dammitt. He seems pretty self-involved right now, and wanting to stretch out and do what feels good, whatever it is. I wonder about a tour while he's still so formative. Going on a tour with someone who was a good influence would be a very good thing for him, IMO. It would help him build an identity, inside himself too. He needs that, before he can really be held up for more. Hey newduck– good thoughts, all. Very articulate.

I have no idea where Blake would play here in the 40mile radius. Nashville and/or Louisville is what I would expect, and lord knows Nashville is FULL of smaller venues. It's not all country music in Nashvegas, so maybe there's a cool place like House of Blues or even smaller. I'm sure there is something that would be a good fit. Spouse knows a guy who works in the music scene here-- maybe I'll have Spouse ask him what he thinks. BTW-- Jordin's video "One Step at a Time" is in the Top20 at VH1. I blame the ultra-cute lime green heels. The letter from Johnny Nails was fun as usual– love that he is always wanting to share with us a story from the road, and is so grateful.

He might feel around a little for smaller ideas today, but he did mention a venue I hadn't really thought about-- The Wildhorse Saloon. He says that alot of rock groups have been playing there the past year or so, that wouldn't be able to fill up something like the Sommett Center. There really isn't any other place, and it's a decent size-- about 1500-2000people. I imagine it would depend on the numbers he expected to turn out.Maybe he'll try a smaller place like The Gibson Guitar lounge, again. Jason Mraz did that a couple times, and theRiver likes that alot. I think capacity is only like 300 people tho, and he packed the house for the Canal Room, same size. The only drawback with concerts being either at the Factory or at The Wildhorse is, they are expensive, like $50. Just thinking aloud here, for those speculating. Goodmorning, TeamPlaiders–

Marketing can be done by management team, tour assistants (was Lucas part of 19 recording or management?)and PR people, so he still has representation able to work on that. He's not marketing an album at this point, but touring as an artist, so the label doesn't really have anything to do with it. I would love to see him sell the album at the shows, but not sure how that would work without label supoort. Many artists tour without label connections and the word gets out there. Joyce,

Work is tying me up, but I got a chance to visit with Blake and try to gain some info to share. Most you already know that the tour will begin in October cause Johnny told us. I don't think Blake has made any announcements about that yet, but he is happy it's finally going to be off the ground. He's still busy doing things on his house and working ont he next record. He love his music. There's always music playing at his house. I've been voting on the musiqtone polls. You can vote and hit backspace and rapid vote. Lets all get out there and get your votes in and move him up the poll... I don't know what effect, if any, it has on his exposure, but it can't hurt. I'm hearing songs on and in various venues, store, planes, off beat radio stations. When I listen to the radio, I quickly change to CD's because there are few songs that impress me as much as most of ADD. Hope you are all well and enjoying the summer. To all the teacher and education people I chat with, I hope you have enjoyed your summer and are ready deal with all the little monsters again this school year. You know I mean monsters in the good way. They are, after all, what life is about. And if you are raising one, two or more, good luck, they could grow up to be beatboxers. Hugs to all, d Hey there teamsters,
