CCM Magazine article and updates from the road.

Newfire was featured in an article on the front page of “News & Views” section in CCM Magazine!  Where you get  “the week’s most “it” stories in Christian music.”  The article is entitled “Double Dose Of Newfire News.”  Read the article on CCM Magazines website here.  And just in case it has been removed before you get a chance to read it there, i’ll post it here as well.  It says,

DOUBLE DOSE OF NEWFIRE NEWS

“Not only is Oklahoma-bred pop duo NewFire joining FFH on tour in 2009, but co-leader Jonathan Firey just joined FFH as a permanent member. It will indeed be double duty for the blossoming star, but given his impressive vocals, it’s truly a match made in harmony heaven.”

Ever since CCM Mag called Jonathan a “blossoming star” we’ve been teasing him about it, and making lots of comments about his “impressive vocals.”  Ha ha.

Last week we were in . . . the cities had really weird names so i don’t actually remember the names of the places.  Except for Joplin, MO.  I remember that one.  BUT, we ate at this really . . . creepy (in my opinion) restaurant that was featured on the food network on “Drive ins, diners, and dives.”  Here is a picture of Allison with the poster singed by Guy.

It was an interesting experience to say the least.  And then this past weekend we were in Abilene and San Angelo Texas.  It was a lot of fun.  Here are a few pictures from that trip.

(Above) This is Jon and Alli with Mark (the host of the morning show on KCRN).  Sandy is the one in the corner of the pic that you can’t see.  I’m obviously the one taking the picture, and Josh slept in so he wasn’t even there. . . lol.  The studio was really cool because it was up high and the big windows overlooked the city.

(Above) This is Sandy and I in another one of the KCRN studios.  Sandy is another one of the DJs for KCRN.

I think this one is pretty self explanatory

Ok, let me explain this part below.  I got hired to do a poster for some upcoming shows.  You’ll see below the version that was finally approved by FFH’s management.  But underneath that one you’ll see how I thought the poster should’ve looked.  Personally, I think the second design would have drawn a bigger crowd.  But you know, whatever. 😉

Now here is my favorite version, and the one i designed first.  For some reason it didn’t get approved.  Go figure.

Allison sent this version to Jeromy saying, “Hmm, maybe it wasn’t the best idea to have our drummer design the flyer.”
