New Year indeed

Happy New Year everybody.......and welcome to what could turn out to be a most exciting new year. It certainly is starting off that way. I'll start with a bit of sad news but mananger Matt Suhar and i have parted ways after a good 4 year run. It was just time for both of us to try something different. As sad as that is i'm very excited about how this year has started. As most of you probably know by now we have launched a coffee line " Michael McDermott Legendary Coffee"  We have our first signature blend and are preparing to have 3 more by next month. I'm heading to Indiana to pick out the blends and work with the roaster to bring you all the finest organic, fair trade coffee possible. For EACH BAG of coffee we sell, 7 MEALS ARE PROVIDED FOR HUNGRY CHILDREN IN AMERICA.  The hunger rate has increased by 37% since 2007 !!!

Heading out to New Jersey for LIGHT OF DAY on sunday.....for a quick trip......Heading down to Nashville on the 23rd for more recording with Lex Price.......I'm doing a show with Ex Mobster Frank Calabrese Jr. who wore a wire to help take down the Chicago Mob......Frank has a book coming out and we are going to do a show together.....music and the mob type thing.....more details are soon to follow......

Heading out to Los Angeles at the end of the month and some shows and some meetings.......and there's a ton of other things in the works that i'm just not at liberty to talk about......odd that a man of faith is so superstitious ......but i am.......

We're all in this together folks........i wish you the BEST 2011 and hope to see you real soon!!!

    • My fiance and I are getting married on January 19th. We're going to Alabama for our honeymoon, so I looked up the Workplay Theater to see who was playing that week. Turns out that your playing there on the 20th, so we bought our tickets. I've been to the Workplay before, and they had extra concert flyers for the street teams. If I got a flyer, would you autograph it for us so we can have a cool honeymoon souvenir. We would be most appreciative. Thanks if you can. Understandable if you can't though. Either way, it's going to be a great show, I'm sure. Joe and Linda

    • Been a fan since I heard Paint You A Song on your 2004 Live At Shubas. It blew me away. The visual aspects of your lyrics are amazing. I've always tried to write like that. If cornered, and under duress, I would have to say that it along with 'Still Ain't Over You Yet' are my faves. Anyway, enough of the fan gushing. I got two questions, is ther any chance you'll be making it up here to the Great Northwest, and is there any chance you will release a studio version of Paint You A Song? God bless.

    • Thank you for the great show tonight, and especially for being so gracious toward my wife and me in speaking with us after the show and signing her CD and my hat. I'd like to send you a message regarding something that we have in common regarding our recent losses, but not in a public forum. You have my email from my signup tonight. Please send me a message there. I'd like to add to what I was able to say in the crowded space we were in. Like I told you tonight, it will get better, but will never go away. And that is a good thing, believe it or not. Peace. And God bless you and all of your loved ones.

    • Hi Michael and Heather

      We so enjoyed ourself Saturday night at the Front Porch. Was that a great little place or what. We loved your new songs. The night was just so wounderful. I got great pictures of us and the show i will bring them to Lincoln Hall show. I just have to say i felt we all hit it off like we had nown each other forever. Heather i so loved the way we bonded. It is great to meet new friends and thats how i felt. Michael and yourself are so down to earth. I would have texted Heather by now but i lost my phone in a cup holder in the limo and they are having to take panels out to get to it. My luck !! I should have it by Wednesday i hope. Anyway so looking forward to our next meeting. You know chicago so you guys make the after show plans. We are getting a Hotel as close to the show as we can. Until then God Bless !!!! Oh and try to have shirts and as ya seen i need a bigen. LOL atleast a 2x. And Happy Fathers Day Michael!!!!!!!!!!!! Loretta and Bryan

    • your songwriting may not save the people you love in the literal sense of the word, but for myself, it touches me and moves me and makes me think about things, good or bad, in such ways that I never had before. There's a lot to be said for that and I thank you. Love the pink rabbits. They bring your daughter joy as your music does.
