My apologies to everyone who was planning on going to either the Chicago or Milwaukee shows later this month. They were originally booked as full band shows but seeing as I don't have a band yet, I came up with the idea to do a special acoustic show with my friends Ashley Monroe and Hillary Lindsey. The venues liked the idea but decided to postpone the shows until I'm on tour and wait it out for full band. I'm so sorry. I was really excited to play. I'll let you know as soon as they are rebooked.

Haaaappy Holidays. I was trying to figure out a way to thank you all for sticking by me through thick and thin and what better way than with song. So here it is, without further ado, the most requested song, Tuesday Morning.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Wishing you many blessings, health and much love for the coming year.

Enjoy.

Hey guys,
Just checking in to let you know some more December acoustic dates. I've been having a blast being out playing shows but I am getting really excited about some full band shows that are coming up starting in January (it's about time!)

Here are the December acoustic dates. Keep in mind the shows run 30-45 minutes and aren't "full" shows.

Have a great week! I'm off to do some Christmas shopping.
xo, M

Hey everyone.

I know it seems super quiet around here but believe me, I've been keeping extremely busy!! I just got back from Minneapolis and Omaha where I had two really great shows. Thanks to everyone who came out and to KS95 and Q98-5 for having me.

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.

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!

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)

Happy Monday-ish everyone.

I'm sitting here in Nashville doing laundry and re-packing to leave for more radio promo visits. My first single Sooner or Later is officially out at country radio! Don't be shy, feel free to harass your local station and request it as much as you like. You have my permission :)

Last week I had the most amazing show at The Grove in L.A. I was actually quite nervous that no one was going to show up. Boy was I wrong! The final count was around 5 thousand in attendance. Incredible!! You guys were singing along to every word and made it such a fun show for Teddy, Dustin and I. We were only supposed to play 30 minutes acoustic but it was hard to stop playing we added another 3 songs to the set. If you weren't there I'm sure you could find some videos on youtube because from the stage all we could see were people with their cameras. I really can't wait to come back with a full band show and play for you guys again. We've also been talking about having a secret show in the L.A. area some time and announcing it last minute on Twitter. Lots of cool ideas.

Hey everyone.

Well, I'm finally checking in. I know I've missed a week or so. I've been out on radio promo and it's some weird side-effect that if you wake a musician up before 10 a.m. they become completely delirious. About the only thing I can manage to do is Tweet, haha.

So tomorrow is the big day that Sooner or Later officially goes to radio!! I'm so anxious to see what happens. Please if you have an extra moment tomorrow, call your local country station and request Sooner or Later. I'll owe you one ;)

We filmed the video for Sooner or Later last weekend and it went really well. It was a 3 a.m. wake up call and a very long hot day. We shot out in the desert and it was 104 degrees for the most part. I even learned how to drive stick shift!! I am seeing an edit sometime this week and I'm quite excited to see it. I have some photos from it for you guys to check out coming soon.

Hey everyone.

I've been so crazy busy these past few weeks I can barely think straight but it's all good. We moved from one house in Nash to another-moving is always a pain in the butt. I also started my radio promo tour. It's so exciting to finally be playing this music for people!

Then I'm headed out to Los Angeles this week so I can film the video for Sooner or Later. I'm working with my old pal Liz Friedlander. It's gonna be so great to see her and work with her again. She directed my first two videos, Everywhere and All You Wanted. I'm loving the treatment. After that I head to NYC to play a show at the Beacon Theater with Chris Isaak then back to the west coast for more radio promo. So keep an eye out on Twitter because I'll be keeping you up to date through all of it. That's also the easiest way for me to tell you what radio stations I'm visiting and playing at :) www.twitter.com/michellebranch
