I’ll be on Fox 2 News Detroit tomorrow at 10 AM. Pretty excited to play some songs from the new EP.
My friend and vocal teacher, Linda Venable, ran through songs with me last night, and she said I should sing “I Will” and “Empty Cup” tomorrow. What songs would you like to hear?
Don’t forget, we are still offering the new EP for free at www.mikevial.com/free

How It Happened

Special thanks to Brent Collwood from Metrotimes City Slang blog for the advice and humor in his post about the new EP. (Warning, explicit language)
Hey Brent, I know John Mayer really pegged himself when he dated Jessica Simpson, ran his mouth on Twitter, wrote “Your Body Is a Wonderland,” tried to be cool in responding to Rolling Stone questions…(OK, this list could continue…), but man that guy can play guitar!
I also must add, I met John Mayer a few times in 2001 at the Shelter, the Blind Pig, and even Borders Books, he was totally cool and supportive about our music. Success kills everything, but at least he can still play a few blues riffs!
(Oh, hey Alan, remember when Mayer did the song about rhyming the word “orange” at the Blind Pig? That was hilarious.)
Special thanks to Jason Kotarski for interviewing me for his Green Couch Blog. He asked insightful questions addressing my career change, thoughts on the three EPs, and my views on community collaboration in Michigan music. The interview was posted yesterday.
