Greetings everyone and HAPPY SUMMER!!!!!!!! It’s here baby!
First I’d like to apologize for not getting a newsletter out to y’all in months. It’s just that I really only want to fill up your inbox with stuff worth reading. There’s enough time to read my status updates on facebook or follow me on twitter to hear about what color socks I’m wearing today. In my opinion, everyone’s getting into everyone’s business a little too easy now-a-days with all this status update shtuff…but I digress.
So first things first…I have some really cool stuff coming up this summer in the way of shows.
With the help of the folks at Terra Cotta in downtown Binghamton, I’ve put together an awesome show coming up on July 9th at Terra Cotta which will feature five new acts out of the Binghamton area. This show came about by the people at Terra Cotta approaching me about doing another solo show there but I said to them “what if we could get some young people up on stage and give them the chance to perform for a packed house and start a fan base of their own” and they loved the idea so we found five high school students from five different schools to come out and perform a few tunes. Please come out and support these young people…you’re gonna love it!!!
Here are the details:
Location: Terra Cotta. 81 State St. Binghamton, NY
Date: July 9th
Time: 7pm
Tickets: $6 in advance or $10 at the door. Order by calling 607-348-0518
Special Guests include: Andrew Simek, Amber Martin, Tessa Dzuba, Katie Kreidler, and Jillian Strauss.
In other exciting news…my live CD “Live at Funk ‘N Waffles” will be released within the next month!!! I can’t wait. If you like “Live at the Waterfront” or “Anderson and I” you’re gonna flip over this CD. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to release this. It’s just that there’s 8 different cover songs on the CD so I’ve had to get the licensing to use these songs and it gets pretty pricey to do so.
So I’ve come up with a killer promotion for all you Jared Campbell freaks out there! Soon you’ll be able to pre order the CD through my website but for now we’re offering an unbelievable deal to those of you who like to give out gifts to your friends and family. So here it is…are you ready…for a pre payment of $100 you will receive 15 copies of “Live at Funk ‘N Waffles” to hand out to anyone you can think of…friends, family, old women you help accross the street…list the list goes on!
That comes out to a little over $6 a CD…WALMART DOESN’T EVEN BEAT THOSE PRICES! So if you’re itchin’ to get your friends or family to become Jared Campbell groupies just like you…now’s your chance. Simply send a paypal payment to the address jaredsgigs@yahoo.com and include your shipping address (did I mention free shipping!) and you’ll receive the CD’s as soon as they’re off the press.

Hey everyone, just wanted to wish you a huge HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! I can’t wait for Christmas! I’ve been posting and tweeting about Charlie Brown’s Christmas for the past few weeks and I seriously cannot get enough of it. My wife keeps filling the candy jar with Hershey Kisses and peanut butter cups so I’m packin’ on the added warmth for the winter. The tree is up and snow is on the ground and LIFE IS GOOD!
I’ve been on the road soooo much over the past few months and I have a much needed rest coming up through the rest of December and into January. I’ve had an amazing time performing at your colleges, universities, high schools and middle schools. I’ve met so many amazing people and got to hear so many awesome stories that I feel my life is so much better off from it. Over the past few months I’ve been to Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, North Carolina and who can forget NEW YORK Baby!!! You’ve all treated me so kind so thank you for your hospitality.
Well I’ve got some cool things ahead in the new year including a live broadcast of a performance I’ll be doing in my home town on January 7th for PBS. Show starts at 8pm so make sure you tune in if you’re in the Southern Tier. I will also be performing once again for First Night in downtown Binghamton on New Years Eve at Christ Episcopal Church right across from Lost Dog Cafe. I have a performance at 9 and then another at 10 so I’ll see you there!
Many people have been asking how things with the Blue Project are going and I can’t explain how amazing things have been. This program is growing and growing and thousands of teenagers and young people are getting reached with powerful messages of hope and perseverance. I’ve literally performed for over fifteen thousand students this fall through the program and the new year is bringing in more and more schools so I’m so thankful for that. You should hear the amazing stories from students of how they’re giving up attempts at suicide, finding their self worth, ending their habits of bullying and finding a better outlook on life…it’s amazing!!! If you want more info on the program please email info@jcblueproject.com.
And last but not least….WE GOT A NEW PUPPY!!! Many of you know our first dog Tucker and his trusted side kick Vox the cat…so now Tucker has a girlfriend…Ladies and Gentlemen please say hello to the beautiful Bayla!!! She’s a pooper and a biter but we love her…Tucker does too…Vox, not so much but he’s getting there.
She's a biter and chewer for sure!
They're in love!
So I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year and Happy Holidays! Make sure you follow me on Twitter and be a fan on facebook by going to www.facebook.com/jaredcampbellfans. Stay well and be happy!

Tonight I performed for the amazing students at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI or as I like to call it WESTERN MISH! I always have an awesome time at this school and tonight was no exception. The crowd was awesome and we had a blast! The show went really well and everyone was so cool and responsive to my tunes and random stories. Tonight was definitely random..but fun! I remember the first time I performed at Western Mish and I got to meet some of the coolest people like Chris and Whitney who are now engaged and getting married in the summer of 2010. They’ve asked me to come and be apart of the wedding and I couldn’t be more honored. To think that I have the opportunity to make life long friendships with people that are states away is one of the coolest things about being a musician. So thanks to everyone who came out tonight and I hope to see you all again soon. Next stop….OHIO!

Hey everyone, JC here with an update…it’s been way too long! Many people have been asking about the live DVD/CD that was shot back in March and I totally apologize for not posting this info earlier. After the filming the footage itself was out of my hands and production was kind of put on hold throughout the rest of spring/summer however we will finally be getting the footage next week and the editing process will soon begin. I don’t have a release date for the project but I’ll be sure to keep you updated on the site. If you’re really interested in updates though you should definitely sign up for the mailing list here on the home page.
This summer is going by way too fast. It’s almost the middle of August and I seriously have no idea where the summer went. Seems like yesterday I was just shoveling the driveway. I’ve had an amazing summer so far. I’ve gotten the chance to play the most beautiful places throughout the New York State finger lakes region. But summer is still not over so be sure to check out my tour dates for the rest of the season.
This fall I will be kicking off my college tour and can’t wait to visit a bunch of you at the schools you go to. Don’t see your school on the tour page?…shoot me an email at jared@jaredcampbell.com requesting me to come to your campus and we’ll tell you all you have to do to bring me there.
I’m also heading off this fall to knock out a bunch of Blue Project performances at various high schools and middle schools so if you’d like to see me at your high school or middle school, once again email me at jared@jaredcampbell.com and I’ll give you all the info you’ll need to bring the Blue Project to your school.
So enjoy the rest of this summer and hopefully I’ll see you real soon!
jc
