SUMMER TOUR ENDS, BUT MUCH MORE AHEAD!!
Well, everything must come to an end and so goes a great summer tour of Norway. What a fantastic time we have had playing with some of Norway's top musicians and performing at festivals and clubs throughout the country. Thanks to everyone who turned out to see the shows and pick up a few CD's. And speaking of CD's, I'm really excited about Country Music Import distributing JOHN BELAND - THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS YEARS. Now we will see product in the racks throughout Norway. On the recording front, I had a great time recording my next single, EDDIE'S GOT A GUN right right here in Norway at KONGSHAVEN STUDIO. What a lovely place and a special thanks goes out to Bjorn Ole Rasch for making me feel right at home. I'm also proud to announce that I will return to Norway in October, to start production on a new CD by Per Gunnar Stolen and Frank Fjellvang, two outstanding singer songwriters from Kristiansand. I am very thrilled, as this will be my first Norway production and I hope the begining of many more to come. Work also begins on the soundtrack for the Hilltop Festival DVD, featuring the great Freddy Weller and I in concert. I will be working on the mixes when I return to Texas. Plans are also made to record a new DVD BBender instructional video in November. Everything is a "go" and we will start on it before Thanksgiving. So, its been a busy busy summer, full of music and friends. A special nod and hug to my boy Tyler, who shared this trip with me and played some great bass guitar behind his dad. He did a great job for his first ever tour. Thanks Ty! I love ya, buddy! So thats it. We hop on the plane in a few hours and head back to the USA, taking back with us many precious memories of a fantastic summer tour in this lovely country. We'll be back in October....and I can't wait. BTW..a great big hug to my manager Berit Goversten, who's hard work was responsible for all this success. She is the best manager an ol country rocker like me could ever hope to find. Thanks B. Special thanks to my webmaster Lotta, of course and to my friend Tor for loaning me all his guitars for the tour. Much love and cheers to everyone for making this trip unforgetable. Off to the airport....!!!! John B Kristiansand |

Re: SUMMER TOUR ENDS, BUT MUCH MORE AHEAD!!
Thank you, John. My mom always said it's time to stop when you have most fun. I never really bought that then and neither do I now. Dang. I hope time flies fast and you keep busy enough not to notice, so before you know it you'll be back in the "old country" again. Will I catch you in Sept?? If so I'll bring my camera. Have a safe flight back home. Lotta :) |
