A Call to Arms! Help?

March 27th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Uncategorized

90 is taking it’s toll!
40 days ago I had a great, solid line-up for the final show–April 1st Exit/In!
A week ago I got a call that changed that. I spent the day frantically following up with artists I’d originally reached out too, and even contacting some new ones. This is really hard for me b/c I’m a “people pleaser” and I hate asking for favors.
Graciously, one artist came to my rescue with some interest in helping out!
Last night at 11pm I learned that person wasn’t going to be able to make it! I was pretty defeated, and fired off a bunch more emails before leaving for the airport at 5am!
I’m learning something that anyone in recovery has had to learn, that I am powerless!
As much as I want to control my life, my plans, my future..I cannot!
This is a pretty painful lesson, no?

So here’s the call to arms:
If you’re an artist, and you want to help out this cause & play the final show, please be in touch! I can’t do it alone!
If you’re friends with an artist or married to one, and you think they might be interested, send them my way! I’m hopping on a plane & off to an interview so if I don’t get right back to you, that’s why!

I must say, though, how very grateful I am for my friend, and stellar singer- songwriter, Jessica Campbell who’s been on the bill since the start!! If you come out on April 1st you’ll hear how awesome she is!!

Here’s what’s keeping me going for the moment:

Hang in there Kelleigh, you’ve got an army of people praying for you - it will ALL WORK OUT!
You are loved!

Dear Kelleigh,

See if you can perhaps find either Larry Long or Joanna James online - both musicians have been around the Twin Cities quite awhile; although they may not be around here (Minneapolis) at the moment. If not busy, they may help you out!

Best,

Matty

I got nothing. Don’t really run in the right circles to know anyone that could help! I’m sorry.

Also, I’m sorry for laughing at the accompanying photo here. It really assists the frantic tone of the post. Did you mean to do that?

Kelleigh and Jessica sounds like an awesome show to me. Whatever happens, it will be fine, it’s a night to celebrate a worthy cause and the completion of a goal.

Kelleigh,

You are an incredibly gifted musician, and the mission you have been sharing, out of love for your brother, has a great impact on more people than you know.

I am amazed that you have performed for 90 days straight. What an achievement that is!

I’m looking forward to hearing more and more from you. It was great hearing you in Warsaw and W Dundee.

Your final 90 out of 90 concerts is going to honor your brother in a mighty day. I really wish I could be there.
