Melanie Bomar: News

Scott and I will now be playing/ hosting a show on the First Friday of every month (through December) at the Spot! We'll have guest players sitting in as well. Be sure to come out and support your local musicians as ell as your local coffee house!

GAC emailed me to say that they want to play Wake Up I'm Gone on the promo for their latest show The Next GAC Star. Stay tuned for more details.

I'll be in the studio on Saturday recording 2 more songs for the album. It's coming- I promise!

Scott, myself and 7 others from St. John's are running in the inaugural Rose Bowl Half marathon. Let's hope it doesn't rain:) Oh yeah, I turn 30 tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap.

ASCAP announced that I received their ASACP PLUS award for this coming year! ASCAP PLUS is an awards program that provides cash and recognition to active writers in the early and mid stages of their careers.

I've got sessions lined up with local songwriters to sing some really cool tracks. I'll let you know how it goes!

So it's been awhile since I've written here but we are up to 14 miles this weekend with our marathon training- pretty awesome to say "yeah, I ran 14 miles before lunch today" :) In other news, if you watch Extra! and hear a song with "Gimme Gimme" in it - that's my voice and will be getting me some cash!

Scott and I started our pre running exercising last week and it's tough already:) We start our official training on June 10th.

My friend Tim Edwards and I wrote a promo spot for Extra! and they loved it! Keep watching Extra! to hear it- it's for a new segment called "Gimme Gimme". Making money off music- sweet.

I'm having my 10 year high school reunion this Saturday! Thanks to everyone from high school who dropped by my site and left me a message. I can't wait to see you all.

THe Buzzards CD is now getting airplay in Sweden! Check out the music at ww.bandofbuzzards.com.

If you hear a "12 Days of Christmas" spoof promo for Elimidate this season be sure to listen in for me!

My background instrumental tracks have just recently been played in Sweden on High School Reunion! I've also sold albums off of CD Baby in Germany & England. Music for the world!

I saw the new artwork for our CD at practice last night - it's going to be really cool! I also heard the CD from our last show at Taix - rockin! Be sure to come out on Jan 7th for our CD release show....

I'm currently teaching drumset lessons so if you're in the LA area and want to learn how to beat the skins - drop me a line!

I've gotten some background cues played on Ellen, Extra! and Celebrity Justice! I'm currently working on more cues with our guitarist, Yohei.....Fun fun fun. Getting paid to do music - never a bad thing.

I've got alot going on right now musically and I'm hoping something will stick! I'm trying to start my own solo thing around town and am still playing with the Hillbillies and the Buzzards. Music rulz!!
