From: TsunamiInc@aol.com Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1999 16:02:35 EDT Subject: The Jamie Anderson Newsletter To: DakotaAZ@aol.com Hi there, ho there y'all. It's time for another edition of that newsletter full of my ramblings but no misspellings 'cause now I have spell check. Whoo hoo! You're getting this newsletter because you signed my mailing list at a concert or because you emailed us and asked to be added. If you'd like to be deleted or if your address is changing, please email us at tsunamiinc@aol.com. Feel free to forward this email anywhere -- especially if you have friends who live in the areas where I'll be performing. Please don't send us jokes, virus warnings or petitions but do send personal mail. I love to hear from fans. ____________________________________________ It's been so hot here in North Carolina, I almost feel like I'm in the desert. Except there are trees. And water. And bad Mexican food. No, actually, I have found some good Mexican food here but buyer beware. I did some swell (did I really type "swell" -- I must be channeling June Cleaver) gigs in North Carolina this last month. Thanks to everyone who made it out to those shows. ____________________________________ SALE SALE SALE We are overwhelmed with product here at Tsunami Recordings. (It's like that Star Trek episode with those animals. What were they? Tribbles?) We've got to do something with this plethora of tapes (and some CDs) so we're having a sale. We don't usually sell direct, except at concerts, so you might want to take advantage of this groovy deal. Several older recordings are on sale: Center of Balance CD, $10 (includes No Closet, All of Me and more) Center of Balance tape, $5 Bad Hair Day tape, $5 (funny songs including Wynonna Why Not & Wedding Song) A Family of Friends tape, $5 (compilation featuring many performers and moi) AND With every purchase, you get a FREE Center of Balance tape. Regular prices apply on other titles: Drive All Night CD, $15, tape $10 Never Assume CD, $15, tape $10 Order must be received by August 31. This offer is good ONLY for the month of August. Make checks to Tsunami Recordings, and send it to 4201 University Dr., Ste. 102, Durham, NC, 27707. Tell us what titles you'd like. Include your shipping address and email address. We can't take email orders because we must have a check with your order. Sorry, no credit card orders. And did we mention.... SHIPPING IS FREE! _______________________________________________ Conversations at the Rose Cafe I was interviewed and played live for this wonderful folk music show. It's already run in a few markets but it may not have aired in your city yet. It's available on KFAI, KUMD, KMSU/KMSK, WEOS, KERA, KAJX, WTIP. For more info: http://www.rosemusic.com _______________________________________________ Michigan Women's Music Festival Yes! I will be at the festival. I don't have a booking on one of the stages, but like I said in last month's newsletter, I'll try to set up a performance somewhere on the land. Women have suggested I play at the triangle fire or at the late night cafe so I might do that. Look for brightly colored fliers with concert details, posted all over the festival. Or look for me in the Goldenrod booth. I'll be there almost every day. _____________________________________________________ Outvoice My recordings are slipping a bit in the Outvoice charts. Please save them from further sliding and vote at www.outvoice.com. _____________________________________________________ Looking for bookings in GA and FL If you know of a last minute booking I could snag in GA or FL for September, write now. It's too late to contract with most established coffeehouses and concert series but I'd be happy to consider other possibilities. If you have a group that might like a fundraiser concert, a church that needs entertainment, or if you have a big living room and want to give a house concert, contact me right away. I might be able to fit you in and wouldn't that be neato? _________________________________________ Tour, Tour, Tour As always, check with the venue before venturing out.
