FANFARE! Comstock Record Promotion Deal Signed In August, a deal was made to promote CJ’s new CD “Ride The Storm” through the worldwide resources of Comstock Records. CJ wanted to work with industry innovators like Frank Fara and Patty Parker. People who have had their own musical careers and are experienced at creating opportunities for new artists. So far, eight songs from “Ride The Storm” have been played in ten countries in Europe and Japan at 20 different radio stations and the number goes up each day. Plus “Further From The Truth” keeps climbing up the charts in Japan. Revisit us to see where this leads… Also, a big THANKS to all the disc jockeys in all those countries who took the time to listen and play “Ride The Storm.” We are grateful.   European Reviews From the radio show “Go West Go Country” in Austria, DJ Hans Mair wrote: “TOP ARTIST, ALL SONGS ARE VERY GOOD.” His favorite cuts are “Start Your Engine Smile” and “No One To Stand Beside.” From the BBC in Shetland, Scotland, DJ James Pearson writes: MY 2 FAVOURITE TRACKS ARE 13TH TEQUILLA AND NOBODY'S GIRLY GIRL.  GREAT VOICE, GREAT SONGS, THIS CD IS FOR AN EXCELLENT CAUSE. Come back to see more. VA Hospital Tour Since the business of doing shows and producing CDs has been more successful than expected, CJ recently has decided to do VA Hospital shows in Michigan and Ohio just to say “Thanks for your service” to the soldiers staying there. These shows tend to run several hundred dollars to perform, and with the help of sponsor money and his own, CJ plans to play as many of these hospitals as he can during the next year. Patients at the show get a CD from CJ as a “Thanks from all of us in America” who owe these soldiers a great deal. If you personally or your company wishes to sponsor part of the VA Hospital Tour, you can communicate your wishes by using the email or phone number on the SHOW INFORMATION page at this website. No sponsor donation is too small and will be appreciated. Premier Show CJ Baker performs sixty times a year and is becoming a Premier Country solo artist in the Great Lakes region singing his own original songs. Many types of venues from Grand Rapids to Jackson, Michigan over to Metro Detroit have realized this fact since the number of gigs he does grows higher each year. Now with the release of his new CD “Ride The Storm,” the number of shows is growing even more. “Seeing the number of shows each year increase is satisfying,” said CJ when recently asked about the future of his show. “I also really like the reception I receive on my own songs. Far more exciting to do my own songs about my life experiences than any other material.” The CD “Ride The Storm” will soon be available at CDBaby.com for hardcopies, and many digital download sites like I-Tunes. Again, as with all of his CD’s, proceeds from sales will be education shared. To hear a sample of the either of CJ’s CDs click on the links to the left of this story.
