"Closer to Nowhere" to Air on "The Hills" on 4/13 at 9pm central

Do you know who you are, do you ever think about it?

If you are as big of a Jen Foster fan as I am, you have undoubtedly heard this line hundreds of times since the release of the award winning single "Closer to Nowhere", and it's video last year...on your iPod, on your computer, even on your TV in the late Friday night hours during the video's run on LOGO. Well, get ready Jen Foster fans, because "Closer to Nowhere" is on it's way to PRIME TIME...

Mark your calenders and set your DVRs for Monday, April 13 at 9pm central time - and tune in as the first single from Jen's long anticipated new CD finds a huge new audience on MTV's hit show "The Hills." This is awesome news for Foster, who works tirelessly writing, recording, touring, and developing strong connections with her ever growing and fiercely loyal fan base.

The new album, titled "Thirty Nine", is slated for release sometime in the summer, and Jen Foster's fans are already marking their places in line to purchase it. When asked to comment about the project, Foster stated simply that it is her best work yet...and even though I have heard all of the tracks from the 4 song EP that preceded the full project, I have a feeling that I haven't heard ANYTHING yet. In addition to the upcoming new release, Jen Foster recently wrote and released the controversial new single "I Didn't Just Kiss Her" - a response to Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl", and also launched a brand new website for her fans at www.jenfoster.com . Be sure and check them out!!

Congratulations Jen!! In your own words - you're going places....

Jessi Lynn Heads Back to Texas and Salon Nights on the Levee

Jessi Lynn is headed back to Dallas in a return appearance at Salon Nights on the Levee – finally!! I was introduced to this artist last fall, and am so excited to see her back again.

Born and raised on country music, Jessi Lynn found an early refuge in the stylings of greats like Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Willie Nelson – first falling in love with the music, and then finding her own voice in her songwriting. Making music her full time job came with all of the difficulty usually associated with struggling independent artists on a regular diet of ramen noodles – but it all seems worth it, Jessi says, when she learns how her music touches fans. “When I'm told that my music helped someone get through a tough time in their life, or has inspired them to do what they love… when someone tells me that they got something out of my songs, that is the absolute best moment of my life.”

When Jessi takes the stage, the passion that drives her music is palpable throughout the audience. Singing soulful songs inspired by all of the triumph and devastation of real life, Jessi pulls the audience into the stories behind the music. Whether she is singing “Anywhere but Here”, a song written during a time of life changing events and choices, or “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Like This”, about overcoming the inevitable obstacles that threaten to keep us from our dreams, Jessi Lynn’s simple acoustic style allows the power of her voice and the artistry of her melody and lyric take center stage.

After the show, you will not find Jessi Lynn hiding backstage. Her favorite moments are those in which she is connecting with the people. After she sings her songs, you are likely to find Jessi Lynn hanging out, having a beer, and chatting with fans about any number of things from photography, to her love of all things fitness (she is a certified personal trainer), her favorite charities like Rockin’ for Rescue and Susan G. Komen, or even her dog Cami – the love of her life.

This will be Jessi Lynn’s second appearance at Salon Nights on the Levee. When asked what makes a great venue, Jessi Lynn described a place where the management cares about the music and the artist. “I've played venues with the best stage and lights, but have been merely been wallpaper,” she says. “Then, I've played in the corner, no lights OR stage and have had the entire place hanging on every word. It's the people that make the venue, without that, it's just an overly priced room.”

If you live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, you do not want to miss this rare opportunity to hear Jessi Lynn live with Beth Kille at Salon Nights on the Levee, April 11th at 7pm. For more information on this show, visit www.salonnightsonthelevee.com
