"Awake Live" News
I'm very happy to report that Josh Groban's "Awake Live" CD/DVD combo will be released on May 6th. A special limited Internet-only version of "Awake Live" is available for preorder at JoshGroban.com and the first single, "Awake," is available for download at Amazon MP3, as well as at iTunes.

Show Ingrid Some Love!
I was recently shocked to learn that someone had hacked into Ingrid Michaelson's MySpace account and deleted it. All should be sorted out soon, but in the meantime, check out her temporary MySpace account here. In happier news, Ingrid has released a music video for "The Way I Am" and will support the Dave Matthews Band on tour this summer.

Paolo Nutini on Tour
The Dave Matthews Band has good taste in opening acts, as they've also selected Paolo Nutini to open for them on select dates of their U.S. and Canadian tour this summer.

Alex Giordani, Intel SuperGroup Winner
Congrats to Alex Giordani for winning "Best Singer/Songwriter" in the Intel SuperGroup contest! He's recorded a cover of Neil Young's "Hey Hey, My My," which can be downloaded from iTunes.

Shawn Hlookoff's Music Featured on TV
Congratulations also go out to Shawn Hlookoff, who has written new songs specifically for ABC's new show, "Eli Stone," and has had his song,"She Could Be You," featured on ABC's "Kyle XY." To hear more of Shawn's music and to keep up with his career, check out his MySpace page.

Feelling Nutty
When in search of oh so delicious chocolate-covered espresso beans, I came across Nuts for Our Troops, which allows us to send a package of nutty goodness to a service man or woman serving overseas for only $30. Added bonus: 10% of the profits will be donated to the Fisher House charity.
