More radio play, CD update, and Beulah Camp!

 
Hey TGR fans, hope you're having a great summer! Our summer is about ready to kick off in full swing!

First of all, TGR will be at Beulah Camp in Eldorado, IL this coming week. We'll be there from Sunday the 21st through Saturday. Say a prayer for the services and that TGR connects with the campers and can be a part of an awesome week for Christ.

Next, we appreciate your patience on the new CD. It is being mixed as we speak and we hope to have it back by the beginning of next week. Then it's sent to be pressed and that would put us at around the end of June, beginning of July when we'd get it back. We know we're about a month off schedule but it's just taken us longer than we expected. We're really proud of this new project and want it to be the best it can be!

Last, "Live for Today" is still spinning on the radio and being added to stations all the time:

Our good friend Rod is playing it on 99 Hit FM in Springfield, MO so be sure and call in to request it if you're in the area.

Our new buddy John has added the song to their station at www.cilfm.com in the Marion, IL area. He'll be playing this Sunday night from 7 to 9 pm.

Stel with Y98 FM is going to be playing the Tune on The Answer, his morning show, this Sunday from7 to 10 am.

The song has also been added to "The Spirit", the online/streaming radio station that you can find on KEZK's website at: http://www.kezk.com/.
Live for Today will air over the next few days at:
Friday - 7AM hour
Saturday - 4PM hour
Monday - 7PM hour

Last, don't forget to call WIBI and request "Live for Today" at: 1 (800) 707-WIBI or email the station at: morningshow@wibi.org.

As always, TGR appreciates you guys in helping us get the ministry out there more and more every day. Hopefully, we're reaching people for Christ through our music.

God Bless and thank you, TGR

Radio Interview Monday

Hey TGR fans, couple more radio opportunities coming the bands way and a clarification on one of them!

First of all, our appologies on The Vine radio tune in date we gave you last time.  Things went even better than expected and the folks at The Vine needed more time to put the interview together.  You can tune in Monday, April 12th between 2 and 3 pm to listen.  There's plenty of talk plus an unplugged version of "Spent".  Check it out on line at: www.wvyn.org.  Remember that you have to set up an account with the station so allow plenty of time.

Second, our interview with Stel at Y98 FM went great!  It will air Sunday, April 19th at around 8:30 am on Y98 FM (98.1 in the St. Louis, MO area!).  Please tune in and tell as many people as you can!

Last, the new CD is coming along.  Two songs are finished, drums have been cut on the other three.  We'll be working hard to try and have it finished by the beginning of May.  Stay tuned!

Thanks for all of your prayers and support and God Bless, TGR

Ok, let me explain.  This Sunday (11/02), Skyline Community Church will meet at what was formerly known as the Funnybone in the Fairview Heights Ramada for their Sunday morning worship celebration.  TGR will be the special musical guest.  Please come, invite some friends, laugh and worship in this fun, low-key atmosphere!  Check out Skyline for more info:   www.skylinecommunitychurch.com
  
And here's an excerpt from The Great Romance's latest MySpace blog: 
 

"On another note, continue to pray for the band as we showcase for some labels in Nashville, TN this November.  This is a great opportunity that God has given us.  We hope that you pray God's will for whatever happens.  Last, we are in the process of mixing the live CD of The Great Romance.  It looks like it will be a 7 to 8 song CD that we will hopefully have ready by the beginning of 2009, maybe dare I say by Christmas.  Keep checking back as God continues to bless us with more and more shows which are just more opportunities share his love and his message.  Matt V."

 

How exciting is that!  God is good!
