MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hello Friends!

Hope all is well in your guys world.  Wanted to fill you in on the latest and greatest here in Jeremy Camp land.  Soooooo, as you know the album came out FINALLY, and it has been going amazing!  Has been amazing to see and here feedback from people, soooooo glad everyone is digging it and people's lives are being impacted!  

As you may have heard by now, we will be going out on tour with Mercy Me, Hawk Nelson, Tenth Avenue North in the spring of 09, super excited about that.  You should see more things on that within the week. We also are planning the Speaking Louder than Before tour as well, which wont be for a bit, but will be late summer of 2009, lots more to come on that.  Lets seeeeeee, have a new ministry starting called Speaking Louder Ministries in 2009 we are really really stoked on.  Will fill you in a little here, what is going to basically be is everywhere Jeremy plays a show that is his own show or tour date, we are going to be partnering with a local ministry there (i.e homeless shelter, childrens hospital, womens shelter etc) and the local church to help raise awareness of that organization and have the show attendees bring the actual physical needs for that organization that night and drop them off at the show.  Sooo if it is a homeless shelter and they need blankets in Minneapolis lets say, then everyone coming to the show brings blankets and we have volunteers drop them off the next day at the organization.  We also will be using a percentage of concert tix and Jeremy and band will be handing out the day of the show in the community as evangelistic outreach!  So if you guys could be praying about that, would be great!  

Jeremy has a few shows in and around Knoxville and Lynchburg next week after Christmas, then is on a plane with family to South Africa to see Adie's family.  So pray for them on that 20 HOUR FLIGHT!!!  With the girls!  

So that is what we gots for now!  Be well and be blessed this Holiday season.  Hold your loved ones close and remember Jesus loves you and was born for you!  

PEACE

Matt

RELEASE DATE?

So the question has been asked about the album releasing on monday.  That answer is YES, EMI has decided to allow it to come out a day early since it is the holiday week.  So get it Monday or Tue in any local bookstore or online!
And watch for the new FAN CLUB coming up next week as well!  Super excited about that.
Be well

THIS IS IT......THE HOMESTRETCH!

Hey guys, Iam going to be that blogger guy that says he is sorry for not blogging more.....soo....sorry!  Ok, now that is out of the way :)  LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS happening.  It is Thur Morning and we leave Sat for the radio shows we are doing to support the album.  SO EXCITED....why am I typing in ALL CAPS??

We have the album in hand which is always surreal to see the finished product.  For as much time and money that goes into it, you would think it would be the size of a house, but it is only a little tiny plastic jewel case that breaks after opening it a few times, with some paper in it and a disc.  BUT there is so much depth in that little plastic case.  Anyhoo I digress.....here is the behind the scenes of some things going on within the next 5 days.  

1. Leave Sat AM for Phoenix do show there get on a plane go to Dallas

2. Sunday maybe some radio promo stuff out there before the show

3. KLTY show Monday in Dallas in a secret location that you have to talk to them to get to the show 

4. Fly to LA for show on TUE that will be streamed LIVE on the website....more details to come

5. TUE IS ALBUM RELEASE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Get one for your friends, and family makes a great christmas gift :) (have to throw that in there)

6. Speaking Louder than Before Video premiere on Yahoo Music Launch website

7. And a couple other little secrets I cant talk about, come back to the blogs and website to see

That is all for now!  Pray for the week ahead it will be a exciting fun ride for sure!  Oh yeah and 2009 can i just say one word EPIC!  Lots to tell about that in the next blog.  Ok friends be well and DONT FORGET TO GET THE ALBUM!!!!!  

Peace and Love

HELLO FRIENDS

Well Iam fresh off a 10 day vacation!  YEAH!  Was great to spend time with my family and hang at the beach.  Off to the races here with Jeremy.  5 weeks and counting until NOV 25 release date!!!! It is weird we are so far a head of this album as far as getting things done and promoting it, seems weird he still have over a month until you guys get to hear the full thing!  I hope you are truly impacted by it!  God used it in such an amazing way.  

Soooooo, shot a video yesterday in Nashville for the song Speaking Louder than Before.  Was EPIC!  So fun, cant wait to see the finished product.  Thats in the bag, got a Christmas song recorded which is beautiful, I think that it is free when you pre buy the album on itunes, you should see that in a few weeks.  Lets seeeeee what else....oh yeah, have you heard of the spring tour yet?  Well this time, iam not gonna tell you, will let you find out and tell me when you find out......you guys probably already know.  :) or maybe not.  

Let us know who you would like to see Jeremy tour with next year.  Your "dream" concert.  Who would it be.  Post it here.....would love to know feedback.

Alright guys, always, be well, love God and others and life will be just fine :)!!

Peace

We have booked some Europe shows for next summer today, so super stoked on that.  Also have locked in a little tour for the spring March-April, but cant say yet who, what, when and where.  But I triple dog dare you to try and find out (which you guys probably will :))

Happy Sept 23

Homelife

So what is going on my friends? Hope life is good for you. Is great here at home. Sullivan is growing up fast we make her do dishes in the bathroom sink now as you can see. Ok well maybe not, nut she loves to pretend doing chores like dishes, vacumming, watering the flowers etc. Will be nice one day when that actually kicks into reality.
In the Jeremy world, everyone leaves tonight for a week of shows. Gonna be BUSY! And lots of mileage on the bus and in the air. Pray for them to have safety,patience,and strength to power through. Lots of great news getting ready to come down the pike. Stay tunned!
Be Blessed!

I have asked jeremy for years to let play or sing. Well, it finally happened. Be prepared to be blown away :). I kid, I kid. Anyhoo off to get some terminal food.
This photo was a picture of andy and Adam after I sang them a sweeet lullaby to put them to sleep because they where talking to much and crying like babies.
