Just a quick note/reminder/clarification for you Atlanta folks for this weekend. Jill and Andy will be in the Atlanta area this weekend playing 2 shows. There was some confusion in the MySpace world (that may or may not have been Andy’s fault…), so I wanted to make sure we get it cleared up so nobody ends up at the wrong venue on the wrong day. Jill confirmed these dates for me earlier today.

Saturday - 7:30 p.m. - Acoustic Jeremiah, Canton, GA
Just mapquest it and don’t doubt the directions when you think you’re going to fall off the edge of the earth. This is a really cool old church building that has great atmosphere. I’ve been there once, and it was really one of the coolest venues I’ve been to in a long time. And it’s a free show…

Sunday - 7:00 p.m. - Crosspointe Church, Oxford, GA
This is out in the Covington/Conyers area. I’ve seen one show here, and it was well done with a very attentive audience. And this is a free show, too.

Notice that they’re both free shows. Come on out to one (or both) of these. It’s going to be a good weekend.

Here’s what we’ve seen new this week:

• AG in Jonesboro, AR on 2 Apr—that’s Wednesday, y’all.
• AG and JP in Lawrenceville, GA on 26 Apr. Update, 2 Apr: The organizer for this event emailed me to let me know that this is a private event, which I was not aware of at the time. Please respect this; Jill and Andy will be back in that area very soon. Sorry for the confusion!
• AG and JP in Oxford, GA on 4 May.

Or so says their website:

There are no words to describe the awesomeness that is Andy and the Andy’s. When was the last time you saw a band spell out their name, the word that drew them together, on their white t-shirts, one letter per shirt, with duct tape? Drawing from their vast catalogue of six songs for tonight’s concert, they decided to sing all six, plus three older songs (After the Last Tear Falls, Kara, and Alright Here).

After the concert, when I asked Andy and Andy about the status of the recording that was mentioned, they said the tracks are finished, they just have to add the vocals. Which could happen tomorrow, or it could happen in three months. Be sure to keep an eye on their website, www.andyandtheandys.com, for details about the record as they become available. And stand in awe of Andy G.’s graphic design skills and Andy O’s web design talent.

Oh, and it was a night full of surprises, too. Like, when it’s time for the solo before the last chorus of a song and someone says “Take it away, Andy”, who gets the solo?

If you’re within, oh, about 18 hours of Nashville, you might want to start driving this way now. Thursday evening is the debut performance of Andy and the Andy’s: Andy Osenga, Andy Peterson, Andy Gullahorn, Andy Hubbard (on drums) and possibly another Andy on Bass. At Osenga’s birthday show tonight, he sang a new song, “I’m On Your Side”, that he said would be on an upcoming record from Andy and the Andy’s. You don’t want to miss this. Details here. (They are playing at Christopher Williams‘ CD release show)

Okay, so I know that Geof has already mentioned this in his weekly listing of new tour dates, but in case you missed it, here is an announcement Christianity Today had in their weekly news roundup:

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson will hit the road with friends Jill Phillips, Andy Gullahorn, Ben Shive, and others for the Resurrection Letters Tour, which will support Peterson’s album of the same name to be released in spring 2008. In other news, Peterson will make his debut as a novelist this March with On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness (WaterBrook Press), a fun and fast-paced fantasy novel for “readers of all ages.”

Andy Gullahorn’s new CD “Reinventing the Wheel” was reviewed and rated 4.5 stars by Christianity Today. I’d be inclined to agree.

Definitely Gullahorn’s best release yet, “Reinventing the Wheel” is available at the Jill & Andy Online Superstore.
