Everybody in my camp is pumped and getting ready for my next single “Been There, Drunk That”. October was the first month spent promoting it. We’re all fired up about it’s potential. We knew “Ho Down” would meet some resistance at radio because of it’s content but we’re thinking that the new song will be right down their alley! I’ve covered a lot of ground visiting radio stations and the end is still not in site. January is going to be dedicated to traveling to more stations. It’s hard work but it’s also been and will be a lot of fun. Spanky Dynamite, my guitarist, has been great to have along on these trips. He’s been a trooper! ‘Preciate ye!

At the beginning of November the band and I shot a live performance video that we will sent to every country radio station in the country. I’m sure the video will be posted on my website www.bradyseals.com at the end of January. Speaking of websites, be on the lookout for the new beentheredrunkthat.com site. My website will inform everyone when it’s up and running. Stop in soon to check out what it’s all about.

I’m excited to be teaming up with M.A.D.D (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). The campaign is to “Rock Responsibly”. Basically, don’t drink and drive! When I was nine years old my sister was killed in a car accident due to drunk driving. It affected my family like you wouldn’t believe. I’ll never forget our door bell ringing in the middle of the night with the news that my sister was no longer alive. It was devastating to say the least.
With a song like “Been There, Drunk That” you’d think it’s just a party song, and there’s no doubt that it does just that 8^), but there’s also a message in the hook (…no thanks Joe I’ve been down that road, been there, drunk that) We’re hoping to not only to bring a smile to some faces but maybe save a life or two while we’re at it.

Thanksgiving is right around the bend and my family and I plan to take some time and be together. I plan to get in as much family time as possible between now and the end of the year. While I’m writing about Thanksgiving, I want to send out a thanks to everyone who’s been supportive of me this year. All of the messages on Myspace, Twitter and Facebook have not gone unnoticed. I read all of the comments though sometimes I don’t have the time to respond. Thank you!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s Sunday and it’s Labor Day weekend and it feels so good to be home. I actually cleaned out the garage yesterday! I’ve been extremely busy here lately and I haven’t been able to take care of some things around the house.

Last weekend I played my hometown Fairfield, Ohio. The day was gorgeous! The event was motorcycle ride honoring local fallen soldiers. It felt great to be apart of something so special. Before the show kicked off the mayor presented me with “The Key to The City” and named August 30th “Brady Seals Day”. I was blown away! What an incredible honor.

It was good to spend time with my mother and other family members too. My little boy Evan seemed to have a ball seeing his grandmother.

Tuesday I’m off to California to do some more radio promotion visits. My guitarist Spanky Dynamite is going with me along with Gregg Stevens of Nine North Records. Hopefully some more radio stations will add “Ho Down”.

Evan’s birthday is coming up September 15th, he’ll turn 1. Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’! We’ve got a big birthday party lined up for him. It’s a safari theme but we thought about changing it because he loves trucks so much. We’ll just gonna make sure there’s enough all terrain vehicles for him to play with during the party.

I hope everyone’s diggin’ the website, I sure am! Look out for my new iPhone Video Diary coming soon. Make sure you sign up for my new newsletter too.

Thanks and peace out~

I’m so stoked to be blogging from my new website www.bradyseals.com. I’ve been so busy I didn’t realize that it went live a couple of days ago. I just got back from Le Roy, IL performing with Brian McComas and Aaron Benward of Blue County. We played the Fall Festival and had a ball! We took my new bus (the gorilla bus). It was our maiden voyage and we had plenty of mishaps and things not working properly. We had to get two mechanics to come out to the show because it overheated right before we got to the venue. Thankfully we were able to get it fixed.

Spanky (my guitarist) and I have also been out on the road visiting radio stations supporting my single “Ho Down”. It’s been a lot of work but we’ve been having fun regardless. It seems that radio stations on the west coast really dig the tune and have been spinning it a bunch. Now we’re just working on the rest of the country!
My CD “Play Time” comes out tomorrow. Whooo hooo! It’s been a long time coming. It’ll be in retail stores all around the country and of course iTunes and Amazon.com
I got to get going for now, I’m on my way to the studio to finish the background vocals on David Bradley’s CD that I’m producing.

Keep checking back for my blog updates. I have plans to eventually have an iPhone video diary that will be available to view on the website as well. Thanks so much for dropping in and don’t be a stranger.

- Peace, Brady
