GMAC trip, and Showcase

A note from Jennifer:

"Hey folks. This summer's looking like it's going to be pretty quiet, music wise, but that's alright, because it'll be jam packed with work stuff! But I've got some exciting news for the fall.

I am going to be attending the Gospel Music Association of Canada's 2009 Conference in Calgary. This will be a great chance for me to move to a new stage in my musical adventuring, meeting other people who are writing, performing, and recording music of all genres that honours God and lifts Him high. I can't wait! I will also be participating in an intensive songwriting seminar that is part of the conference, and I've even submitted a FACTOR grant (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent On Recordings) to help with the finances. I'd appreciate your prayers for that application to be considered favourably!

I also received word today that I've received a showcase spot at the GMAC week! I am really excited about this - a great opportunity to show what I can do, make new friends, and promote the album. Check out the Shows page to get the details - all you Calgarians - I better see you there!!

Have an awesome weekend - I know I will!

Peace,

<><

Big Win at the SCMAs!

JJK's album, "Somehow it always does..." came away from the 2009 Saskatchewan Country Music Association awards in Nipawin, Saskatchewan with the trophy for Gospel Album of the Year. The awards ceremony, hosted by George Canyon, was a highlight of the talent-filled 3-day SCMA conference.

The awards weekend was followed by a stop at the Lutheran Church-Canada Central District conference in Regina for a concert, backed up by good friends Slim Sixty and Sarah Klym.

Watch JJK's MySpace for a full blog of the adventure.
