Hey, ya'll!!!
I can't believe how beautiful it's been outside! All the amazing fresh air has really made me anxious for the summer to be here! Our flowers are already blooming. How cool is that!!
Band practice will be starting soon to get ready for a really busy summer and I can't wait! Some new faces in the band this summer as well as the amazing guys that have really stuck by me this last year. I owe them SOOOOOO much! I LOVE YOU GUYS!! I have been working all winter on a bunch of new songs but I suppose we should release my first CD before we start on the next one, huh? Hopefully that will be happening SOON! Thanks to all of you who have pre-ordered my CD. That shows me how much you believe in my music and that makes me want to work even harder to be the best I can. I have some amazing friends and fans and I would never be able to do what I do without you! If you haven't ordered the CD yet you can do it on my merchandise page. I'm hoping we can get it released soon! I want to get started on the NEXT one already!
I have a new project I'm working on that means a lot to me. So many people that I know have lost a friend or family member to suicide. It is so sad to me that people really believe that no one cares and that no one would miss them. I wrote a song about what I believe that would feel like. Everyone gets sad and thinks no one likes them sometimes. I know I have. But I have some amazing friends and family that make me see that whatever it is that I'm feeling sad about I can get through, with their help. I'm putting an acoustic version of this song up for sale to help me raise enough money to do a final recording and then a video about suicide. PLEASE help me reach people who believe they are alone and have no one. Watch out for friends or even people at school you don't really know that well. Be the person people around you can come to if they are in trouble. Or if you are in trouble, find someone you trust to help you. Everyone feels alone sometimes. But no one should feel so bad about themselves that they think suicide is their only way out. The download here is an acoustic version and will only be available until I record it for real at the studio. Please help me to make sure no one else feels there is no other way.
If there is an event you would like for my band and I to come out to shoot me an email at bookings@sydneylett.com. I'm hoping to do at least twice as many shows as last year!! I just LOVE meeting new people and seeing new places! Plus road trips with the band are EPIC! Thanks always to Josh Tilton, Joe Kempen and Jeremy Donahue for sticking by me since the very beginning. I love you guys so much! You're family to Mom and I.
And don't forget to help me help out the children and families of our military by buying the download of Count the Stars with the unbelieveably amazing Jerry Salley! I am donating part of the proceeds to help the children of military families for the sacrifice they make to have their mom or dad serve our country. They are heroes too!!
Remember to always DREAM! And don't let ANYONE tell you that you can't achieve them. BECAUSE YOU CAN!
Love love!
