Open letter in regards to album release date

Up until two weeks ago my album was coming out November 10th. That all changed when a handful of people at Warner Brothers got let go during company wide lay offs. One person in particular has been a main part of my team for 10 years. He has been there since day one when I got signed and we had so much planned for this album and the future. This is just a result of the corporate world and the economic times we live in. So on a personal level this really sucks.

I so can't wait for the release~!

I am disappointed too. I've been waiting for that album since I heard "This Way" on the radio. But it's okay, I understand~ I'll just keep on waiting~ HAHA. Love love! 사랑해~^^V

i too am very disappointed

i too am very disappointed and frustrated by the continual delay with the release of this new album.Michelle,if your reading this,would you consider once your contract with warner's is up,going on a independant label where you can have more of a say and more control over what happens with your future albums.
to me all Warner's have done is continually stuff you around.im sure their are other labels out there who would love to have you and who would appreciate you more and who would treat you better.
i mentioned this once before on the board and got slammed by other posters.really,give it some serious thought,you deserve so much better.

Too bad about the album.

Aw Michelle,

That realy sucks. It realy too bad, but iv heard a few of the songs off it and im sure it will be great when it comes out!

Best of luck, Leah .x.

ALBUM

Aw that sucks a bit... I've been waiting for that album to be released. But I think that's not really a problem. I'll keep on waiting, and I would really like to extend my support to you since I'm quite a fan even since back then.

So, keep it up & we'll still be waiting and anticipating for that new album of yours ^^

That's sucks

Damn, that's sucks, but I'll always be wait :)!! Don't worry :)! You're the best Michelle and I'm sure the new record will be unique! I love you and best wishes :)))!

Not another ramble...

You don't know me, but I know who you are. My dad met you back when you were 15, right before you became famous and he met you at Guitar Center in Phx on 28th Dr. and Peoria. You were with your dad, checkin' out new guitars and my dad was in there checkin' out guitars too (He was a musician and had 6 guitars - 2 acoustics, 3 electrics and 1 dobro; he also had three albums out on msn.com as well as somewhere else but I can't remember). He told you "Your gonna go somewhere in life. You know how to play, and your good at what you do" and encouraged you and your dad to continue to do what you were doing, as your dad explained that he was trying to get you signed on with a record label. My dad has since passed away, he committed suicide, but he always liked you and encouraged me to be like you. I just wanted to tell you - you still have direct connections to AZ and I really appreciate what you do and how well you do it. I love your music and I wish you nothing but the best. BTW The name Michelle Rocks Lol!

Michelle Shuck

Worth the wait :o)

At least if it's out after Christmas, it'll give us all in miserable UK something to cheer up those dull, miserable January months :o)
Looking forward to the album! Please play in the UK sometime... preferably Birmingham haha! :o)

Album Release Date Delay...

You have to do what you have to do. Us real fans can wait... it'll make us appreciate all the the hard work that much more! You just have to promise to play some shows in Austin when you decide to tour :) Deal?

new song release

Does this mean that a new song won't be released until the album is released?

bored of waiting

well i really hope this is read by who ever!

you know for the past year or what ever we have been hearing these new songs played live have been given pictures to look at then a teaser of the album with "this way" and all brought the song "sooner or later" and even listening to a bad quility podcast of "long goodbye" we have sat and listened to michelle branch on the radio youtubed her videos come to the website waiting for new info on the album, i never hear of a release date all we hear for the last year is michelle branch saying we have pushed the album back because we want to make it perfect she has asked for your ideas on bonus packages asked you to vote for her and her songs , for what an open letter saying that this album has been pushed back again from the 10th of november to when ever she decides to put it back on and she expects us to wait and wait and wait well i belive michelle branch does not give her fans any kind of respect we have all waited we have all suported and now we must wait long

all i'm saying is i'm so bored of waiting i'm so bored and now i've lost all momentum for this album and think that she should for get about it i think she has let everyone down with delaying it till further notice and shouldn't make us wait anymore or as i said forget it.

hi

Your frustration is valid. But think about what it must be like for her. I don't think it would make sense that SHE is the one postponing the release, do you? This is her career, her way of making a living. If it were under her complete control, the album probably would've been released a year and a half ago. But she is in a business where she has to compromise and work as a team with others. She has a boss. Be upset with her boss, if anyone, right? :) While we all wait for her next album to come out, let's just enjoy what is already out there. :)

THAT SUCKS But I´m sure your

THAT SUCKS
But I´m sure your album will be well worth the wait!
greetings from argentina

I was really hoping that your

I was really hoping that your album would come out soon so I would have plenty of time to listen to it before I leave for Basic Training.... At least it comes out the day I leave though!! Any chances you're going to do any shows in the KC or Lawrence area?

We'll wait as long as it takes

Thanks for keeping us posted.

Really is a crazy ride..

:(

Lay offs are happening everywhere. No worries. Your album will be well worth the wait! :) Rock it girl!

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

I found out about the delay BEFORE even coming on your site...I was on Amazon.com and saw the release date as Jan. 2010 and said NO WAY, it's suppose to be out in November! That sucks big time, but that's ok...everything happens for a reason, besides alotta artist's have albums coming out in Nov.!! I want you to get ALL the recognition for yours :-) "Sigh", guess I'll have to keep coming on here to hear your songs until then...gotta get my 'Chelle" fix, lol!!!! Hey you should talk more about being an organ donor, I'd like to hear more about that because I'm a "possible" candidate for my dad. Take care for now!

Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo

Michelle,

You need to apply NOW to perform at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo!
It occurs next March 2nd - March 21st(2010).
Do you realize how many country music/pop fans live in Houston?
But you must act NOW!
They've already announced the Jonas Brothers, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, and Brooks & Dunn.
The full schedule will be announced in January.

Rammer

Very talented.

I'm liking the new music.

Basically Hi

Hey Michelle

Basically wanted to say hi after listening to the recording you did (with commentary) of "All you ever wanted". Story sounded good and after almost giving up the process of writing it to you, I thought it would fit this post so ... thanks, I guess.

Good luck for the future!

Jens

Uhm

Disappointed!

too bad

Michelle,thats sucks but i can understand,i always support you,and wish you all the best.i cant wait for your new album but i dont mind to be patient..go Michelle! i love u

OMG

OMG- it's ok. that's what i'm thinking.... thanks you and ur label did that ----- album delayed because NOvember 2009 is not gonna be right for the album to be release because Taylor swift re released of Fearless platinum edition will be on Oct 27, Carrie underwood's Play it on will be Nov. 3, southern voice of tim mcgraw, Battle studies of John mayer, album of norah jones and avril lavigne is also next month so u really made the right decision....in that case you have 90% chance to deubt at #1 on bilboard 200 and Country albums charts im sad bec Sooner or later is still #49- im hoping it can climb the country charts to top 30 or top 20 i advice u michelle that ur next single will be long goodbye and u can release it next month up to Dec so that it will be nominated for the 2010 grammys for Best country collaboration with vocals bec i have faith that u will win the award u and dwight--trust me.....

Hi! Michelle.

Thank you to telling fan to change the date of the new album.
Now is difficult time for company to survive.
Whatever I can wait your new album!!
See ya !
From Kyoto,Japan

THAT SUCKS BUT But dont

THAT SUCKS
BUT But dont despair ¡¡¡
I hope to solve SOON..

greetings from argentina

wtf? i certainly hope all

wtf? i certainly hope all labels go bankrupt! you should quit warner, call your friend who lost his job, record your own albums with him, sell them online and eventually get more than 5% the revenue. how i hate the music industry - and i'm not even an artist. it's a bunch of 19th century jackasses, honestly...

NYC, video and more

Hey everyone.

I'm sitting here getting ready for the long day ahead. Going to WPLJ this morning to play Sooner or Later on-air. It's been a while since I've seen those guys!

After that I have a photo shoot for Corduroy Magazine, then a meeting with People and the live taping of LX New York a new hourly entertainment show on NBC. It's so nice to be in the city starting press for the record. I have a show tomorrow (Wednesday the 30th) at City Winery that will be extra special. I'm playing with producer John Leventhal for a mix of fans and press and we're playing a couple songs I've never done live before from Everything Comes and Goes. Should be a great time if you can make it out.

Also, I'm very excited because the Sooner or Later video is premiering on CMT all weekend long. I can't wait for you guys to see it.

Alright, now I'm gonna be late! Gotta go!
Have a great week!

xo, M

Also, I'm looking forward to your new music video of "Sooner or Later "

Michelle is SOOOO nice!

For anyone who reads this I just wanted to say that my husband Dave & I got to meet Michelle and her husband Teddy last week at KUPL radio in Portland and they were so great! Michelle, you are so fun and kind, and what an amazing live performance you gave of your new song Summertime (one of my faves) from the new upcoming CD. SPOT ON!!! Being a singer/ songwriter myself, I have always included Michelle Banch as one of my influences and I was just so impressed with this 26 year old woman's talent, grace and intellect. She is a seasoned pro already and we both were so honored to get to hang out with her on the air and chat. So thanks for being you M- and here's to another long run of hits and success in the country world! Oh & we hope you and Teddy get home to see your precious daughter soon- she must miss ya'll so much. Have a ball out there 'cause YOU deserve it!

Hugs and crazy chicken rides,

~Robin / Ruby Red

PS: Sure hope you have a great show tomorrow in NYC & we'll be lookin' for the new video this weekend =)

New show info and more

Hey everyone.

First off I'm so excited to announce an upcoming show in NYC on SEPT 30th. At first it was going to be a label showcase for press etc. and now we've all decided to open the doors and let fans in on it too. (Which makes it so much more fun for me!!) It's going to be a very intimate acoustic night where I tell stories about the songs with producer John Leventhal on guitar. I really hope you can make it! (Details here)

Very interesting. I haven’t

Very interesting. I haven’t tried Twitter yet, although I’ve heard a lot of people really love it. It seemed like a distraction to me, and my time for working on my business is pretty limited anyhow. Nice to see some of the ways it can work.

Thanks,

I have a busy couple of days

I have a busy couple of days ahead. I have meetings with movie studios all week. I'm going to play them the new record and hopefully get some of these songs in a movie! Then Thursday I head back to Nashville to film Studio 330 for CMT as well as some other fun stuff

new york city winery

michelle:

i'm totally psyched for the show tomorrow night! loved your performance at the beacon theatre a few weeks ago. at the end of that set, you sang a song titled: THROUGH THE RADIO, which i loved! where can i find that song? is it off the new cd? will it be available for download off itunes?

can't wait for the show tomorrow. please play new york more often.

all the best,

Nashville TN

Michelle,

I don't even know if you read these comments but just in case...
Any chance you will be performing an intimate acoustic show in Nashville or somewhere in the Southeast? I really hope so. Love the new songs so far especially Crazy Ride. Take care. Rich

A Live CD?

Have you ever thought about making a Live CD? Watching you perform live solo acoustic (or with a few others) sounds absolutely amazing, and is some of my favorite versions to your songs. I think it'd be completely awesome if you did that.

Also, when are you visiting Baltimore?

Hi Michelle

First off, I would like to congratulate you on all your success. The best of luck with your concert dates in the future. Do you think you will ever do more music with Carlos Santana. His guitar and your voice good be nothing, but successful! I always though you have a very unique voice and the Best of luck with you in your future. I do follow you on twitter as well!
May God Bless!
Tom

How SHORT is the pennsylvania

How SHORT is the pennsylvania show actually going to be?

Seattle?! I'm so excited!

Got my NYC tickets!
