Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't been as aggressive with the blog lately. This really hasn't been a "tour" as much as it has been another step towards moving to Tennessee. I can honestly say that, at this point, I really am living with one foot in Maine and one foot in Tennessee. I didn't come down here this time to necessarily tour the whole mid-south but more to play a few shows in the area and continue to transition to Chattanooga. Therefore, there has not really been a lot to talk about. I know many of you have been waiting patiently for some new videos and such, so I apologize for the lack of. It's just that I've been doing less tourist-like activities and more "just living here." I mean who really wants to watch videos of me going to a laundry mat?
For those of you who love to follow what I am doing through YouTube and watching all of the different places I go, do not worry. I'll be heading back out on tour August through September. I'll be playing in Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, etc. This will be a great tour and I'm really looking forward to getting back out on the road and doing some actual traveling. Tentatively, I will be bringing a 3 piece band with me for the first part of the tour and I'm excited to liven some things up. Personally, I will also be getting things prepared in Chattanooga to finally move down weeks after.
It cracks me up how I keep hearing from people back in Maine about how cold it has been. It has never gotten any lower than 80 while I've been in Tennesee but back in Maine there has been an onslaught of 50 degree weather and a lot of rain. So much for enjoying the beach.
Lastly, I'm extremely excited to say that my new single, "Representin," has officially been released. I hope that radio stations everywhere will pick up on it. The song has a great message and a cool groove, and the recording quality on this new EP is the best I've ever had. It's great production and I hope that everyone will pick up a copy of the new EP.
It's been humbling and kind of surreal to go to a digital radio distribution site and see my song listed with other artists such as Skillet, Tammy Trent, and Addison Road. I hope that stations hear it and play it. Coming off of thirteen years in radio I understand that the opportunity to get your single played on Christian radio is usually slim to none. That's why we see so many of these "crossover" artists.
Quite honestly it's going to take you guys to help. Call your Christian radio everywhere and request "Representin" by Scott Logan. It's out there and availalbe to them. We just need them to play it.
Talk to you all later,
SL

Chattanooga, Riverbend, I Love The South...
After a long trek across the eastern side of the U.S. I rolled into Chattanooga around dinner time Thursday night. I brought my friend Jason with me to show him around Tennessee and we both managed to get about 4 minutes of sleep on this trip. This is the farthest that Jason has ever traveled and the excitement was so great for him that he couldn't sleep not matter how hard he tried. The funny thing was that the excitement was so great for him I couldn't sleep either as every time I started to doze off he started talking again. I'm happy he is here with me as I know that this trip will do great things for him. Jason and I have been best of buds for almost exactly 10 years now, and now we have another story to chalk up on the adventure list.
Right now in Chattanooga they are having their annual music event called Riverbend. There are several stages set up along the riverfront and the whole area has been sectioned off. Each night they have a national headliner playing on the main stage. On the other stage they have an assortment of indie cover bands playing. It is pretty difficult to walk down there as this event draws thousands and thousands of people each year. If I was living here right now, I don't think I would consider the festival to be quite as intrusive considering I would have the other 55 weeks of the year to quietly enjoy the riverfront. I'm glad that I will still be here when it is over so that I can just sit back and relax on the pier after it is all done, though I do plan on checking out Riverbend on Tuesday night when Steven Curtis Chapman is in town!
Just in the last couple of days I have been reminded of all of the things I love about the south. I've been taking Jason to all of my favorite Chatt' spots. The people here have been abundantly friendly, and the weather, though slightly overcast, has been warm. Today is sunny and on it's way to being really hot.
Tonight I'm performing in a little coffeehouse in Athens, TN. This is very exciting for me as my new CD is now available and this will be my first show with it on the merch table. I hope to see all of you Athens and Sweetwater friends of mine there!
Keep close, video is on it's way!
Blessings,
SL
