Video Shoot

We just finished shooting my first music video and it was freakin' awesome. Everything went so smooth all day long and there were not many oops and uh oh's. All of the actors were great and went way above and beyond my expectations. I am overwhelmed by the number of good people that showed up to participate in the video as actors and helpers. Thank you to everyone who was involved in this project. I couldn't have ever done this without you.

It will take a little time now to edit down all the footage we have into a three minute song, so now all we can do is wait. In the meantime, I have a lot of cool shows coming up that I have to get ready for, so maybe the time will go by fast. Be sure to check back on the website for updates on the video and shows. My songs should be available very soon at I-Tunes and other music sites so I'll let you know exactly when they are ready.

Thanks again to everyone who was a part of the video!

3 Days Until The Video Shoot!

Well, the video shoot is getting closer and closer. I still have a lot of things to get ready but the bulk of it is out of the way. This video is going to be great! Again I want to thank everyone who has pitched in so far to help this go smoothly. A lot of people have donated their time and supplies and I appreciate it.

There are so many things going on right now and it's going very well. I'm working on some dates for CD release parties along with radio promotion. Keep an ear out for my single "One More Day" on your radio station. Please don't hesitate to call your local station and request it! Stay in touch.

Music Video

I mentioned a music video a little bit in the other blogs. Now there is only ONE WEEK to go before we shoot this thing. This is so exciting for me. It's hard to believe that not long ago I was writing these songs for my CD and now I'm doing a video for "One More Day". My manager came down the other day and we scouted out locations for the filming. So far everything is working out perfectly. People have been very friendly and giving and are willing to help us with this project.

I had a meeting with a young lady this afternoon and she has agreed to be in the video. Nobody could be more perfect for this part. I might have to take on a second career in casting for films! I would like to say thank you to everyone involved with this video. You have already been very helpful and I know this video is going to be a success because of you.

Stay in touch and I'll keep you posted on the progress!

Picture Day!

It's been another crazy day, but the good kind of crazy. I had a photo session today. That always takes it out of me! It went great and I think we got some really cool shots. My manager came into town today to help out so things went very smooth. Plus, I have a great photographer.


After the photos, we worked on the upcoming video for my single, "One More Day", in detail. This is going to be the coolest thing. I can't wait to get going on this project! It's going to turn out great. Stay in touch and I'll keep you informed on our progress. Don't forget to check up on upcoming shows. I am booking CD release parties "as we speak" and I don't want you to miss a thing!

Lazy Boy Supper Club

I played at the Lazy Boy Supper Club in Archer City, Texas this past Saturday night. It was one of the best shows I have ever been a part of. The fans were great and held onto every word of every song. They also got to hear plenty of good stories from us and they laughed at all my jokes. (I think they were all drinking!)

I was joined on the stage by two other Texan singer/songwriters T-Roy Miller and Jerry Audley. We took turns telling stories and playing our songs. It was great to play with such talented artists in an up-close and personal setting. I look forward to playing that event in the future.

I am right in the middle of planning a music video for “One More Day”. It’s really exciting and I can’t wait to get starting shooting this video. Stay in touch and I’ll keep you informed on the video progress as well as upcoming shows in your area!

September 11, 2008

I just finished playing the September 11th Anniversary show in Wichita Falls. We had a great time and it was a great event. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the local law enforcement, firemen, and EMT. This is a day in history that will never be forgotten and I am honored that I got to entertain for this event.

I am heading to Dallas now to meet with my manager to discuss future plans. I’m anxious and excited about what is ahead of me. I’m a dreamer so I love the future! We will be visiting as much of the Dallas/Fort Worth area as we can in the short time we have so wish me luck.

I will be back for Saturday’s show at the Late Week Lazy Boy Supper Club in Archer City, Texas to swap songs with two other singer/songwriters. I’ve played at this show before and you don’t want to miss it. It is a very intimate setting so you feel like part of the family when you leave. I hope to see you there!

Great Reviews!

I have been very fortunate lately. I had a great article written on me and my music in the Times Record News. That was followed up by one of the best CD reviews I have ever read, and it was about my latest CD. You can read the review at the following link: timesrecordnews.com/.../hollis-debut-cd-james-taylor-made/?printer=1 .The response has been overwhelming and I thank all of you that have supported me. There are a lot of great things coming in the future.

I am getting ready for the 9/11 Anniversary. I will be playing an acoustic show at the Ford House in Wichita Falls, TX. I will follow that up with the Late Week Lazy Boy Supper Club in Archer City, TX. This a great venue for music. There will be two other singer/songwriters joining me on stage to do an acoustic song swap. This is a really good place for a date night. They will be serving a catered meal to go along with this one-of-a-kind show so get your tickets now and come see us.

Don’t forget to sign in on the website and leave a message for me and let me know what you think about the new CD!
