From Palos Park Presbyterian Show in Palos Park, IL

Single to be released in February; Worship EP in April.

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 05:38:09 -0800

Just wanted to take the time to announce that I'm going to be releasing
my third album in April. It will be called the "Extol EP" and will have five
worship songs that I've been working on for close to a year now. We
recently recorded 4 of the songs in a studio in Easley, SC and I have been
producing and finishing them up in the past few weeks...and will continue
to do so for a few more. There is still tons of work to be done and another
song to be recorded, but I'm happy and blessed to do the work.

This album is meant to be an offering of praise; whch is why it will be
titled the "Extol Ep". Extol means to praise highly; laud; Eulogize.
My hope for the album is that it does just that- and brings glory
to God in whatever way he sees fit.

I will also be releasing a single called "Blue Sky Summers" on iTunes by the
end of this month. It's a song that features Mr. Doc Allison, a celloist
and rapper based out of L.A.. I need to clarify what I mean exactly when
I say Doc is a celloist and rapper...he plays the cello and raps at the
same time.Go search him on youtube and myspace...The song is
completely different from anything I've done and has got everything
from beatboxing to rapping, with guitar and cello all thrown in there
together. Be sure to stay in touch so you can hear it once it's released!

Hey so if you went to Tigerama you saw a video tonight with a song I wrote and played called Orange On My Mind (The Clemson Song). There was a link that came up at the end showing where the song could be downloaded, but it was super quick. You can get it on SNOCAP at my myspace (www.myspace.com/joemccready), and hear it on my facebook music page as well.

Facebook. Suggest some friends for your friend.

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:22:28 -0700

So I was wasting time on Facebook when I noticed at the bottom of your friend's page there is a link where you can suggest friends for that person. This is a great idea. Now if someone has really awful friends you can let them know by offering them what you think is a better set of friends. I haven't done this yet myself mainly because I'm afraid the system won't be as awesome as I'm imagining it to be. I really just hope that after you pick some better friends for your friend you're able to send them a message telling them why these friends are better. The only exception for the messages though is that you have to be extremely blunt and use less than five words. Honest statements like "doesn't smell", "not a jerk", "not loud and obnoxious", would also help your friend learn what the current friends they have are really like.

LA Shows: Dates at The Airliner, The Pig N Whistle, and The Rainbow Bar & Grille "Rainbow Room"

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:51:40 -0700

So I've got three shows booked in downtown LA for July. The Pig N Whistle and Rainbow Room show are pretty sweet. The Rainbow bar & grille is on the Sunset Strip right beside the Roxy, and the Pig N Whistle is about a block or two down from the Kodak Theater on Hollywood way. I've been really blessed to get the opportunity to play and I'm very grateful.

Pray for the Midwest: Home is such a sweet, sweet thing

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:49:43 -0700

I've been reading a lot recently on the flooding in the midwest that is a result of the rise of the Mississippi River. People are having to gather their belongings and move to dry land...a lot of these people are doing this for the second time in their lives. My grandparents and Aunt & Uncle used to live in Abilene, Kansas and in the 90's this same thing happened. I was little, but I do remember my parents calling them and talking about people moving and leaving their homes. We went out there that Christmas (like we do every year!), and I remember seeing what the earth looks like flooded for the first time. When I think about it now and all that it affects, it makes me want to do something, especially since I'm far from home and miss it. Home is such a sweet, sweet thing, and to think that families have to leave what they've invested their dreams, prayers, and love into is such a sad thing. Not only are these people going to having to rebuild their houses, their livelihood is ruined for the year and possibly the next. Farmers crops have been lost, washed away...I really hope that when all of us see the rise in prices in the grocery store that will come because of this, we'll be moved to serve.

if you seen the leprechaun say, "yeah"

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:56:39 -0700

So I finished a song a I've been working on for 3 months. I've never taken that long on any piece of music, normally if it doesn't get done in 2 hours (max) or close to a finished state It never gets made. its done. yay.

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. oh me, oh my.

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 23:26:44 -0700

So Los Angeles is a cool city once you get used to it, everyone should check it out at least once. I've been playing open mic nights around town (about 2 or 3 a week) and collaborating with two artists that I've met out here. If you've got time check out Gabby Wortman's stuff (www.myspace.com/gabriellewortman), she's an awesome, young, classically trained pianist, who has got loads of talent and a fantastic voice. Furthermore do some research on a guy you will definitely hear of in the future named Doc Allison. Doc raps to the cello and guitar, can sing, and well...I shouldn't have to say anymore than that; he's ridiculously good. I hope to put out some songs that we've done together in the near future. Also, I went to a place called Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.

Cover Story

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 08:34:03 -0700

If you go to nostringsattachedenews.com you'll see me on the cover of this months newsletter. No Strings Attached is an online entertainment magazine...and one the first of its kind. It is pretty crazy to look at because its me...also because two months ago a guy named Howie Mandel was on the same cover. The interview they did with me was fantastic; they asked great questions and included all my answers, unedited. Check it out if you get a chance.

California...California...here we come...

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 20:37:43 -0700

So I'm going to be driving to Los Angeles, where I'll be working this summer at the beginning of May as soon as I finish exams here at Clemson. We're going to be making the trip over a weeks time and camping out at the grand canyon on the way out. I'm super pumped about it. Especially about not doing school work for a couple months.
