Things happening

As I continue to seek God on the direction for this time in my life, He continues to tell me not to get discouraged. You see, God knows me better than anyone. He knows that I am a terrible public speaker. I cannot play guitar and talk at the same time. I know that sounds strange as I can sing and play all day long. But as I go out into the world and play music, I am woefully aware that I will indeed have to speak to groups of people. Most of the time I will not know anyone in the audience. One would think this would make it easier, but I wonder.
I look forward to how God may use me to "speak to people" in a group setting. I am confident that the music will speak volumes. Thus, I will continue to promote the music as it promotes the truths of God. I will trust Him for the words to say and who to say them to. I welcome any opportunity to play. Bring on those living rooms! Down with comfort zones. - Jamison

Sad Day

I have been on the truck for 15 years now. EMS that is. Not many days come much sadder than 2-10-10. We along with several others were called to work an accident wherein the fire chief of the local lake community was killed. It was a simple accident, but it resulted in the death of a beloved man in the community. I pray for his family that they can find peace and for the man driving the truck that killed him that he find a stable place in the chaos that at this moment must be on his mind. Life is fragile. We only get one ride on this ball, then it is off to wherever our lives have led us. I am sure that chief Stan is walking where angels trod and is at peace. A good man was lost, a nice man, a fireman. Thank you Stan...you will be missed.

Exciting events

Well, as the release date for my CD approaches, there is much excitement in the Jamison camp. Last night I did a radio interview on Rapture Ready Radio and had a good time doing that. Many thanks to Matt at RRR for his kind words and for having me on. One of my favorite worship artists Jared Anderson was recently on the show...so I feel I am in good company. You can visit their site above to hear it or simply click here to listen to the interview and to "First Woman" as broadcast.
I have been gaining a small fan base on Jango radio over the past week. My songs have been played over 1500 times! I have been getting notifications all week from fans in over 10 different countries! How cool is that! I hope to begin going out and playing different venues soon. I have a couple of events on the books already.
Feb. 18th 8pm @ Wheat State Pizza, across from PSU in Pittsburg, KS.
March 5th @ "The Love Bubble" in the Pittsburg Meadowbrook mall. 6-8pm.
There will be a radio promo for that even broadcast on 99.1 KSEK FM radio in the week leading up to the event. Please come out if you get a chance. I will have CD's on hand at both events.
I am also looking to book events wherever will host me. So if you know of any churches, organizations of coffee houses...whatever! Please visit my website to contact me directly.
Thanks for reading! - Jamison

Getting so close

Well, the CD is all finished! I have placed my order for the first 500 copies. I will have them in hand in less than 2 weeks. They will then be available on the website and in local music stores in Pittsburg and Joplin. I will also have some at my church, Covenant Harvest Church as soon as I get them.
I have 2 songs in rotation on Jango radio now! Pretty cool service. I have been getting people signed up as fans! I have 4 fans at home, but have never had any outside of that! Too cool....Looking forward to playing live. Looking into some coffee houses and churches to play at in the near future. Thanks for reading...Jamison
