On The Road with The Fault Line

Hey Everyone,

We are back on the East Coast! And tonight was such an amazing show. Alex, our sound guy joined us again for a wonderful show at Cedar Crest College’s Family Weekend.  It was nice to be back in the college setting after our past week in Branson.  Songs are really starting to evolve and take shape and tonight was no exception as Dance, Dance went on for a nice smooth jam with Jeff rockin’ a nice scat solo. And Use Me just keeps getting better and better each night, to the point where we can hear members of the audience saying “Wow, that was amazing!” at the songs end.

 Now, The Fault Line takes a week off, then gets right back into the swing of things with a packed October.

Talk to you soon!

Well, we just finished our 5 day stay here in Branson, MO and it was one we will never forget.  Catching up with the talent from AGT, making new friends, meeting new business partners, and learning more about what Branson has to offer, it is a town that not many people really know about.

Our day started out doing radio promotions in Springfield, MO for 3 radio stations.  Robert and Julienne joined us, and lucky for Julienne… it was her first time ever being in a radio studio doing interviews! We got to sing Some Kind of Wonderful on the air, and also received some phone calls from listeners who were sad that we didn’t advance in the show and absolutely loved we had done on the show.  To me, that means something special.

Jeff, Matt and I decided to see the other show playing at the Dutton Theatre, “Island Fire”.  We have become friends with the whole cast in our stay here, and they made sure to embarrass us before we left… by making us dance on stage! It was such a wonderful time, and if you get to Branson before December, definitely check out their show.  Tell them that The Fault Line told you it was amazing and you just had to see for yourself.

 We have an 18 hour drive ahead of us to Allentown, PA.  Our second visit to Allentown in 3 weeks… we will be performing at Cedar Crest College.  Then we will finally have a nice little 4 day break before our hectic October schedule begins including stops in Wappingers Falls, Rochester, Cortland, and the state of Montana.

 Til Next Time…

It is our second to last night here in Branson, but after meeting many new people and introducing ourselves to many new faces… I don’t think this is going to be the last time we will be here.  As for the show tonight, Julienne Irwin joined the show, and she did not disappoint.  The girl is a phenomenal talent, and a very funny person backstage.  Tonight we decided to change things up a bit, and instead of showing off some of our effects with Use Me, we decided to take the classic approach and perform My Girl… our punk rendition of My Girl.  It was a hit and the crowd loved it.  It is sad that we have to leave this town tomorrow night, but we have made the most of our stay.

Today we had the opportunity to sit in on 2 shows.  The first being the group “Six”.  Six brothers, one a cappella group.  They did a great job.  The second show was the Clay Cooper Show.  Now I know many of you do not know who Clay Cooper is… but if you ever travel to Branson, make that one of the first shows you see. You will not be disappointed.  Americas Got Talent semi-finalist Johnny Lonestar is a performer in the Clay Cooper Show.  Clay was so genuine, just like pretty much everyone else in this town, and he even allowed us to perform a song for his audience right before the start of the second act.  And let me tell you, Johnny Lonestar… is one amazing person.  He has taken The Fault Line and helped them throughout their Branson Experience.  We truly thank him for what he has done.  Be sure to check him out online and when you are down here in Branson.

 Tomorrow is our last night here in Branson. Then it is off to Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA.

Another amazing performance by the whole cast tonight!  It was such a wonderful night for everyone.  The crowd simply enjoyed every minute and offered their praises.  We made a new friend today. His name is Buster Rinks and he is pretty well known down here in Branson.  He asked us to perform the National Anthem for an Amateur Boxing Night tonight and he simply loved us.  We are hoping good things could come from our new connections.

Tomorrow night, Julienne Irwin joins the rest of the cast of The Finalists Show. 

Til Tomorrow

Another day in Branson, another fantastic show.  The crowd certainly loved today’s performance.  We have come to learn that Branson is one of the nations greatest hidden secrets.  The people here are great and the shows are fantastic.  Jeff and I have had the opportunity to catch a few of the other shows here in Branson, and the performers have welcomed us with open arms.  Not bad for a vocal rock group performing in a town that is primarily focused on country and folk music.  I think one of the most rewarding things of this business is having someone come up to you after a show and tell you that your performance was amazing, unique, and new from what is used to being seen.  That makes me know that we have made an impact.  We hope the impact continues for the next 3 days here in Branson. Although our stay is short, we are hoping to return here in the near future.

Also, this week we will be a part of some radio and television interviews in Springfield, MO. Should be an awesome time!

What a wonderful way to start off our week here in Branson, Missouri.  The Fault Line spent a majority of the day going throughout Branson to help promote the Finalist Show.  Attracting new fans young and old was the goal today.  For those of you who do not know anything about Branson… think of it as Las Vegas… without the gambling.  Over 130 performing acts are here, including The Duttons and Johnny Lonestar from America’s Got Talent.

The Fault Line were announced as the headliners for tonights performance and we made sure not to disappoint. The show is being run as a variety show, so each act would perform multiple times throughout.  We shared the stage tonight with Robert Hatcher, The Glamazons, The Calypso Tumblers, Jason Prichett and Johnny Lonestar.   Each act performed great and it was nice to see them perform for longer than 90 seconds.  It has also been nice to catch up with old friends and being able to perform with this wonderful group of people for the next 5 days is something really special.

 Til Tomorrow!

WHAT A DAY!! The Town of Waterville, NY is such an amazing place.  Matt’s hometown treated The Fault Line like royalty for 2 days, treating us to lunch and dinner, and even selecting us as the Grand Marshalls for the “Crusin’ into Waterville” parade.  Matt was a Waterville High School graduate, and after a friday performance at his old high school, it was only fitting to see the community come together on Saturday.  Many new fans were made and a community showed The Fault Line just how proud they were of one of their own. 

 NEXT STOP… BRANSON, MO!!!

We will be headlining for 5 days down at the Dutton Theatre in Branson, MO.   It is going to be a wonderful reunion with many of the America’s Got Talent contestants from Season 2, including Robert Hatcher, The Glamazons, Jason Prichett, The Calypso Tumblers, and Julienne Irwin.  We will be updating every night!

So after performing at an elementary school in Albany, NY on Wednesday afternoon, we made our trip up to Biddeford, ME for a performance at the University of New England.  Most of our down time was spent in the Maine Mall in Portland.   Five hours in a mall can be frustrating if you do not have anything to do… I learned that the hard way.  Although, they did have a Starbucks with free wi-fi and I was able to buy a “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” T-shirt.  Thats right… Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! 

The crowd at UNE has always been amazing and this year was no exception.  Each and every person was very enthusiastic throughout the show, and went even wilder when Alex, our sound guy, got up and did his little hip dance.  It was an amazing night for all of us.   It is on our way to Matt’s hometown, Waterville, NY for the “Crusin’ into Waterville” Festival.

Hey Everyone!

Sorry so late with the update, we have been going nonstop like you would not believe.  Our show at DeSales was amazing!  Every seat in the room was filled, even people were standing and sitting on the floor. Such wonderful support from a wonderful university. We have been recording each of our performances live in order to compile a Live CD disc to be sold in the upcoming months, and a lot of good things came from DeSales. On a side note… if you are ever in Allentown, be sure to check out the Hamilton Family Diner, many good times.

We just had the priviledge of performing at West Chester University after our strong performance there last year.  The audience was amazing and energetic from the opening act, The Gracenotes, to the 2 song finale!  It was just awesome to see the whole crowd standing up, moving to every song and just having an overall good time.  WCUR, the university radio station provided some post performance entertainment, and we even got onto the dance floor for a little while.  And somewhere along the line… some inflatable globes made their presence, not just a couple… but 30! Overall, an amazing night in West Chester.  Check out some of the pictures from the night!

 See you next week at DeSales University!
