Which leads us to...

"The Story" - The Song

"The Story" is the first single at radio and will start getting airplay (knock on wood) in mid-February. Please listen for "The Story" and let your favorite local radio station know they should be playing it!

"The Story" will also be available digitally on January 16th on iTunes, Sony Connect, Rhapsody, Wal-mart, Best Buy Music, Yahoo, Napster, Zune and MTV Urge.

"The Story" Ringtone and Ringback tone will be available on January 23rd. Check with your cell phone carrier for details.

Spring Tour

The new headlining tour will be finalized in the coming weeks and we hope to announce the dates in early February. Brandi will be hitting the road in late March for about eight weeks.

Can't wait! Here's a little preview of the new record via a live rendition of "Turpentine" that is streaming on her MySpace page. Tragically, it appears that this song, and therefor possibly some others, were left off of her Live From Neumo's EP.
