"Local" Artist of the Month - and more Holmgren Coverage

Hey Friends,

I'm back from Chicago... So good to be back with Luanne and the kids! I'm sitting in Starbucks enjoying the California weather, even though it is a little overcast today.

This is just a quick one to let you know that I've been chosen to be the Local Artist of the Month on WFRN 104.7 FM in Elkhart, Indiana. This means that I'm featured in a banner on the top of their website with a link to my site. It also means I'll be calling in to do an interview with them probably early next week. Best of all, my song "God of All Light" will be played throughout the whole month of February, and even after that if the response is good.

How am I, a San Francisco-based artist, considered a "Local" Artist of the month? Well, I grew up in and around Elkhart, Indiana, and I went to Grace College in Winona Lake. My parents and sister still live in Mishawaka, so I have lots of roots there. Perhaps more significantly, about eight years ago, I had a minor hit on WFRN with my song, "Always Entertaining Me (The La-La Song)." It's a long story, and I'll spare you the details, but it was a really rough demo version with only guitar and vocals. I listen to it now, and it's a little painful. But for whatever reason, it captured people's ears and WFRN played it for a long time. I even hit the station's top ten for one week! So there's a chance that they will feature that song in addition to "God of All Light."

The request line is 1-888-800-WFRN or 1-574-875-5553 for you locals. Please call and request "God of All Light" whenever you want to! You can even listen to the station online.

And thanks to Music Director Doug Moore for adding me to the playlist!

Blessings to you all.

Matt
