Great news on the Music Front


Just wanted to share this news to anyone who views my blog!!
I found out some great news about my church's worship leader and good friend, Jon Shabaglian.
He is currently pursuing a music career and has made some major strides.

He recently won 2nd place in a Battle of the Bands (he lost to some guys in helmets...). From that win, he and his band will be performing at a music festival up in Sacramento in June.

And the BIGGEST NEWS: Jon and the band has won the grand price in an Indie artist competition called Artist Ovations. The grand prize is the opportunity to perform at Spirit West Coast in Del Mar, California (near San Diego) and will be traveling to Nashville in November to meet with well known producer Otto Price, from Word Records, for a possible record deal.

SWC is the biggest and best music festival on the West coast and is such a great thrill and opportunity. He'll be able to have thousands of people listen to his incredible music, and also get connected with other artists already in the industry. Meeting with Otto Price, who has launched the careers of many new Christian musicians, is an incredible experience and opportunity to finally get noticed in the 'big world' of music.

Check out Jon's music and his debut CD, "Stay Near" at:
