2007 Year in Review…

Hey Everyone!

It is time for The Fault Line’s 2007 Year in Review.  And 2007 truly was a year to remember.  The group went through some great times, as well as some rough patches, but all in all, 2007 brought The Fault Line to new heights.

The beginning of 2007 had us waiting and waiting for a repsonse from NBC involving America’s Got Talent.  Shows were starting to get slim and the group was actually looking at the possibility of calling everything off and going our separate ways.  Matt and I were going to go back to teaching, Jeff was looking into auditioning for Broadway, Josh was getting more involved with his own music, and Adam had an opportunity to be the lead singer of another band.  We all had different opportunities to move on with, but then… we got that call…

America’s Got Talent Top 20… bam… we decided to put all of our focus on winning Americas Got Talent. And even though we did not win, many things came from the experience. We met some pretty well known people, such as Sharon Osbourne, Jerry Springer, and some of Simon Cowell’s executives.  Such an amazing experience.

 After the show however, the group parted ways with Josh.  We still wish him the best in everything he is doing! But in return, we picked up our own sound guy, Alex.  Alex helped turn the 4 of us into the rock band without instruments that we have been striving to be since our beginning in 2006.  Adding new elements and hashing out new songs, The Fault Line was ready to take a cappella to new heights.

Our college season picked up because of AGT and some other opportunities came along as well. The Dutton Family, who made it to the Top 10 on America’s Got Talent, invited us to be a part of a show they were producing at their theatre in Branson, MO.  It was called “The Finalist’s Show: Featuring the Top 10 finalists from America’s Got Talent”.  It was truly an honor.  The Duttons invited us and Johnny Lonestar as the only acts that did not make the top 10 to be a part of the show!  Shiela Dutton and the rest of the Dutton Family showed us true hospitality and gave us an opportunity that we never thought we would have.  Be sure to check The Duttons out at www.theduttons.com .   After spending a week in Branson, and performing for many people, The Fault Line had some offers to come back to Branson!!! We will see if they pan out in 2008!

October came along and it truly was our busiest month.  In October of 2006, TFL only had 6 shows in 31 days. In October of 2007, we saw that reverse… 25 shows in 31 days… only 6 DAYS OFF!!! In that time, we traveled to the midwest for the 1st time!! Hitting Jeff’s home state of Minnesota, as well as Ohio, Iowa, and Montana.  To this date, The Fault Line has now performed in 15 states! We are hoping to make that a larger number this year, as well as going INTERNATIONAL!!!

Overall, 2007 was a good year for The Fault Line. Some things to look out for in 2008… Our FULL ALBUM RELEASE of “Junkin’ Em Up”, keep checking out our website for news and updates! NEW MERCHANDISE will be up on the website soon.  MORE SHOWS!! Thats right… if you want us to come perform for you, contact our manager at pat@rockthefaultline.com .

 Before I go, I do want to wish our sound guy Alex, safe travels.  Alex will be leaving us to go out and experience Europe.  We thank you for all of your help, and allowing us to branch out even further than we imagined.  We wish you the best in Europe, and if you ever get the urge… bring us out there… haha!

 Thank you to all of you, our fans, for making 2007 a great year! Help us make 2008 an even greater year.
