Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!
Hello friends of Due West!
The purpose of today's blog is to bring everyone up to speed on the progress of our journey.
As most of you may know, we've been out on radio tour for the past several weeks. We've visited radio stations all over the country, taking them our music, and getting to know the programmers of those stations.
It has been a blast!
If we weren't out promoting a single to radio, we'd still be out meeting new people, making new friends, and playing music as much as possible. So this is truly what we LOVE to do.
So far we've been to about 60 radio stations! Everywhere from Salt Lake City and San Francisco to Portland, Maine and Augusta, Georgia.
Sometimes they let us go on the air, and sing live. Sometimes they record us and play us over the airwaves later on. Sometimes we just sing for staff members in a conference room; but whichever way it goes, we always end up walking out of those radio stations with a few more friends and fans of our music. It has been great.
We'll continue to visit as many stations as will have us. Stay tuned to our schedule to see where we're going next.
Tomorrow, Monday April 27th, is the day that our single "I Get That All The Time" becomes available on iTunes. We're SO excited to have our music on iTunes for the VERY FIRST TIME! WOW.
Also, tomorrow is the official 'add date' for the single at radio. All this really means is that they officially start the timer, and start keeping track of all the stations that are starting to play our song. The whole 'chart' game starts tomorrow. Wish us luck.
If you haven't heard our song on a radio station near you, hopefully in the next few weeks you might start to. We were SO happy to hear that we're popping up occasionally on Phoenix stations, and that people are hearing us on Salt Lake City radio too. That's AWESOME!
After tomorrow, feel free to call your LOCAL radio station and request our song. Please remember however, that it's just a REQUEST...we can't demand them to play our music. We want our fans and friends to be passionate about our music, but we don't want our friends and fans to come across as pestering. We want radio to WANT to play our music for our polite and gracious friends around the country.
YOU ALL ARE WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL PEOPLE, and we LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Thanks for the continued support.

Portland, Maine - North Atlantic Coastline
The sun was setting, the frigid waves of the North Atlantic Ocean were landing on the rocky coastline, as a 200 year-old lighthouse loomed in the background with it's rotating beacon still guiding ships into port.. WOW, the only thing that could have made this moment better would have been having the supporting ladies of Due West there at our sides. Next time ladies, next time!
As we stood here for this picture with WPOR's Matty Jeff, our stomachs were full to the brim with some of the most amazing seafood we'd had since Australia last fall. If you're ever in Maine, make sure you go check out The Lobster Shack; you won't be disappointed!
Thanks so much Matty for taking us there, and for the tour of downtown Portland! (Matty is a SUPER-COOL HANG!) We can't wait to come back and hang with you again.

Phone interview with Dave Williams @ 99 Hits FM in New York
While driving up to Portland Maine the other day, we called in to a station in New York called 99 Hits FM for an interview. We got to chat a little with Dave Williams over the phone, and then he spun our debut single "I Get That All The Time" on his program, Dave's Dish and the Daily Debut. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN. Then click on Dave's Dish on the left hand side of the page.
Thank you so much Dave (and his wife Heather - for telling him about us) for playing our song!

Country AirCheck Visit
Raised On The Street? Bigger Than Me/Nine North's Due West promised the Country Aircheck staff they'd play a song that really expressed them as individuals and a band before breaking into an impromptu version of Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way." After an impressive verse and chorus (and a good laugh from the staff) the band relented with their debut single "I Get That All The Time." Pictured (l-r) are CA's Kelley Keith, DW's Tim Gates, CA's Lauren Tingle, Jeff Green and Lon Helton, DW's Matt Lopez, Nine North's Larry Pareigis, DW's Brad Hull, CA's Mary Forest Campbell and Erin Duvall, Nine North's Tom Moran, CA's Chuck Aly and special guest Flat Stanley.

Quick trip to East Tennessee!
Yesterday we took a jaunt over to Knoxville and Chattanooga to visit a couple GREAT radio stations!We had a fun time on the air with Andy & Alison at WIVK in Knoxville. Brad wanted to thank Alison with a kiss.....What a sweet guy!
Check out our qik video of these two morning DJs!
We also had the opportunity to meet Program Director, Mike Hammond. What a nice man, for real.
Then it was on to Chattanooga, where we had an AWESOME lunch meeting with Dex and his staff at WUSY. We did an acoustic performance for them, which was a blast! What a great crew of people!
We were SO surprised and blown away to find out that Carol and Gina, two WUSY listeners, had seen Due West in Nashville at the Wild Horse Saloon about a year back, and had purchased one of our old CDs. They had been hounding Dex to give it a listen for over a year!
Because of them, when we pulled up to this visit, Dex already knew EVERYTHING about us, and was a FAN! Thank you SO much Carol and Gina; we'll never forget your amazing contribution to our careers!
..and then, just when we didn't think it could get any better.. They put us right on the air with Kim Carson! She's a great gal, and she let us do THREE SONGS! Amazing.
Thank you WUSY! We'll make you guys proud!

Don Jarrett on WOW 104.3 in Boise, ID
WOW is right! Our friend Don Jarrett, who we met a few years ago in Salt Lake City, is doing his thang these days at a popular country radio station in Boise, Idaho.
Don has stayed in touch with Due West through the years, and we love him for that.
Just recently, when we officially started sending out our debut single "I Get That All The Time" to radio stations across the nation, Don called us to let us know he had received our single, and couldn't wait to play it!
Since then, he's been spinning the tar out of it, and singing our praises over the airways of Northern Idaho! Don, we love you brotha!
Thanks for the DW love!
Here's a link to Don's blog on the WOW website: DON's BLOG
