This is going to be the last show I play for a while. I have decided to start school in the fall for sound healing and pro tools production. There are many transitory things happening for me right now and music is one of them. It is time to reinvent! Also it is time for me to become self sufficient in the studio! My vision will never be fully realized until I am in control- of the controls!!!
In the meantime, I am having the time of my life with my new radio shows The Eleventh Hour and Clear Channel Detox. We have finally upgraded in the studio with some computers, so the next logical step will be podcasting. Stay tuned! I will update information as I receive it!
Healing and Harmony,

Right now, only locals can tune in to the low power station KOWS 107.3 in Occidental. Very soon it will be on the web available for podcast- so hold tight for updates on that status. That is it for now!

Its like I was running with a 50 pound bag on my back and all of a sudden, someone lifted it off of me! Many poems and songs have been flowing out as a result, so I can't complain much! I am hoping to have the CD (or at least an EP) done by March 1. You will definately be hearing Nashville and electronic influences in the new stuff, so hang on to your hats!!
December was exciting because I got to play in San Diego for the 1st time. The turnout at Lestat's was great! Thanks to the street team headed up by Jareb Liewer! I also played SoHo in Santa Barbara and opened for Aaron Mclain (lead guitarist for Marc Anthony). We felt our music was complimentary so be on the look-out for more double bills! Then I played at The Hotel Cafe which was a blast. Since then I have been playing locally and recording with my new bandmates Paul Lamb and Bradley Leach. They are very fun, talented, and professional, so it makes for a very smooth process.
In other exciting news, I am the newest endorsee of Alvarez Guitars! They just had me demonstrating their newest models at the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. Look for updates on in-store appearances for Alvarez in the near future!! Well, that's about it for now. I am going to get back to watching the rain come down!
Peace, healing, and harmony-

After a few setbacks and detours, I am back! The last couple of months have been fruitful to say the least. There has been a surge of new music pouring out of me, and that is a very good thing because we are hoping to get into the studio soon for the next collective work. Once the CD is complete, I will have plenty of ammo to take on tour.
Location, location, location!
I have moved to Northern California and I absolutely love it. I have found some great musicians to play with and I am very excited.
Sometimes detours take us exactly where we need to be, exactly when we need to be there!!
We are getting a street team lined up over on ol' MySpace, so if anyone is interested in becoming involved, please visit us at www.myspace.com/tamigosnellmusic. The job will consist of spreading the word about shows when I am in your area. Just bring some friends if that is all you have time to do! You will be rewarded accordingly!! Free tickets, music, and merch can be yours. Thanks!
Now that I made it back to cyberspace, I will try to keep you all up-to-date as often as I can!

At the beginning of May, I went to Cannon Beach, Oregon to catch up with my manager and play some music. I actually got some press out of this impromptu show.

"American Idol Contestant Surprises North Oregon Coast"

Gosnell plays Warren House in Cannon Beach
(Cannon Beach) — The tiny town of Cannon Beach got a bit of a surprise Wednesday with an appearance by a former contestant on Fox’s “American Idol” show.

Tami Gosnell played a practically impromptu set at the Warren House Pub that night, to a mellow but somewhat full house, filling the show with powerful acoustic versions of her original material and a rousing, rather intense set of covers from a variety of eras. She also cut loose a bit for BeachConnection.net cameras and added some amusing material near the end of the show.


Gosnell appeared briefly on this last season’s “American Idol.” Her audition and subsequent quick dismissal from the show made a major impact on the press at the time, garnering much attention by the media as the big pick during the show’s preliminary airings of accepted auditions. Gosnell was shown getting praised by even the ill-tempered Simon Cowell, getting the green light to join the top 40 contestants in Hollywood. She was among the first 16 to be nixed from that group, footage which the show also aired. On top of her gutsy audition, it showed her walking out and telling people nearby that she’d made it into the first cut. It later showed her walking out and telling cameras she was cut from the first Hollywood group.


Gosnell clowns for the cameras
Gosnell is currently under the wing of music industry promoter/producer Scott Stimpson, who lives part time in Cannon Beach. Stimpson is co-owner of two music companies: one which manages up and coming acts like Gosnell; another that has in the past booked major national acts, such as Guns ”˜N’ Roses and Hootie and the Blowfish.

Stimpson brought Gosnell out to the area to perform coffee house-style, just before she had to head back to her hometown of Denver, Colorado.


“She had quite an impact on the audience when her segments first aired,” said Stimpson. “She had the most hits of all the female singers at the time. The Associated Press ran a story saying she was basically the most interesting at that point.”

That AP story did some siazable things for Gosnell’s career, she said. The show itself was major publicity, but the subsequent media buzz was even bigger.

“We’re now in touch with a lot of publicists who want to work with her,” Stimpson said. “We’re heading to Memphis to record some songs soon, and there’s a record company in L.A. that’s interested in her. There’s a great team that’s developing here. She’s been talking to the press constantly since the show.”

Stimpson said Gosnell’s buzz included numerous comparisons to Janis Joplin, including comments she was the closest “American Idol” would ever come to having someone like Joplin on the show.


Gosnell’s voice has much of the same bluesy, commanding style that was indicative of Joplin, but her material has a surreal sense about it: almost as if Mazzy Star or Tori Amos had joined forces with the deceased icon. Her songwriting is intelligent, even complex in moments. Her own material far outshines whatever she can possibly do to reiterate the songs of others’, no matter how passionate the performance. It’s not hard to wonder if she was artistically injuring herself by associating with the “American Idol” franchise, widely regarded among music critics as a problematic, aesthetic cancer in the U.S. music industry.

Gosnell goofed around briefly with various patrons. After an extended break, where the show appeared to have ended, she started in again with some interesting covers from bands like Pink Floyd. Gosnell and the audience got particularly wild near the end of the evening, according to various reports from residents. This included one man taking his shirt off during the show and amusing everyone--- The Beach Connection

On May 13th, I arrived in Nashville for some songwriting sessions with some great writers there, including Amanda Williams (amandawilliamsmusic.net). It was very productive, fun, and inspiring. Then I played some songs at Blue Bar on the 14th and Fuel on the 15th. Then we hopped into a great studio and recorded one of the songs we wrote called 'The One That Got Away'. Thanks to Amanda, I had a blast in Nashville and I will be making regular trips to and from there for more writing, playing, and recording.

The last weekend of May I attended the Durango Songwriters Expo in Santa Barbara, CA. I made so many great contacts, got to hob-nob with some major players in the business including a private sing-along with Tony Scalzo of Fastball. I also got to show some of my talent on stage at the late night open mic, and I must say the response was great. The weekend was so inspiring I wrote some new songs- once again reminding me that my music knows no genre it just simply is!!
June was a month of gathering even more inspiration as I spent almost 2 weeks on the road beginning in Northern California. I played an opener for the Jerry Garcia Band there in Guerneville, had a few days off to look for a place to live. On the 19th, I saw the best show of my life. Roger Waters of Pink Floyd played the Oakland Coliseum. They did the whole Dark Side of the Moon album and also songs from The Wall, Ummagumma, and Animals. Tears streamed down my face as they fused music, politics, pure raw emotion, and multimedia in a way that no one can. Then it was off to Moab, Utah to play a show with my cohorts Baked Iguana at Frankie D's. I had a great time there, the club was great, and Moab is so beautiful, I had to stay an extra day!!

Thank you all for reading my update, and thanks for spreading the word about me. I am recieving over 1,000 hits a day now and have a map showing where visitors come from on the home page. We're worldwide baby!!

Peace out!

Since then, my website hits have skyrocketed (575,000 since Feb. 8th) and I have been mentioned in articles written by TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, CNN.com, MSNBC.com, InTouch Magazine, and the Associated Press.
A few examples:
Looking for the 'Idol' contestant who has 'it'
POSTED: 1:06 p.m. EST, March 6, 2007
NEW YORK (AP) -- Blah.

If any word were to sum up this year's mostly bland and sometimes unwatchable batch of "Idol" contestants, that'd be it.

Sure, there are some standouts -- sweet-natured former backup singer Melinda Doolittle, big-voiced belter LaKisha Jones and cocksure beatboxer Blake Lewis are shoo-ins to face off in the weeks before the Fox talent show's big May finale. Each are confident, worthy performers -- yet they don't leave you wanting more.

Yes, I'll admit it: I miss Taylor Hicks and his herky-jerky dancing. I miss watching the kittenish Katharine McPhee make goo-goo eyes at the camera. I miss making goo-goo eyes at the TV when bald rocker Chris Daughtry worked the stage like a pro. Then there's my personal favorite, the soulful and snaggletoothed Elliot Yamin, who had me in tears when he was voted off last year. (Yamin has since had a full dental makeover, complete with new veneers.)

"It's a very hard season I think, at this point, to pinpoint who has the 'it' factor," said Michael Slezak, who blogs about the show for Entertainment Weekly magazine's Web site. "Which is strange, because usually by this point in the 'Idol' season, you could say: 'Fantasia has IT. Carrie Underwood has IT. Chris Daughtry has IT.'"

It must be noted, though, that this year's guy to watch -- the scrappy Lewis, who nailed a cover of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" -- is a lot hipper than Hicks. The likable Doolittle seems less of a diva than McPhee, who at times came off as aloof and self-aware. Still, last season's talent pool -- stuffed with variety, excitement and star quality -- might have set the bar so high that viewers are feeling let down by the new kids.

Give them time to develop, said host Ryan Seacrest, who counts Doolittle and Jones as "the favorites."

"I can hope that the guys get better and better each week," Seacrest recently told AP Television. "And, in terms of anything else, the contestants are experiencing something they've never been through before and (are) thrown into this. And, it's a long process."

"We are SO early in the season and in the series, you also don't want to be somebody (who) peaks too soon," he continued. "You want to make sure you're good enough to stay in but you're building with each week, so the audience gets behind you."

In other words: Don't write off this crop of contenders just yet. After all, the top 12 finalists have yet to be announced.

"This group of singers has a chance to redeem themselves," Slezak said. "Right now, I would say it's gonna be tough for them to outdo last season. But I think there are enough good singers that it could be as good as last season."

Looking for 'a real mix of different types'
One of those singers is the spunky and stylish Stephanie Edwards, who tore up her rendition of Beyonce's "Dangerously In Love" last week. "So many people are going to be in love with Stephanie Edwards right now," gushed Paula Abdul.

Hope so. Producers should show more of Edwards' backstory, so we can get to know her better. Her competition -- especially Jones, who gives us someone to root for as a single mom to an adorable little girl -- has an edge on her in that respect.

Edwards, 19, who is from Georgia, would also do well to separate herself from the pack of female front-runners: Jones, Doolittle, 17-year-old Jordin Sparks and curly haired Sabrina Sloan. All are going the R&B route, which makes for boring TV on a star-making show that has crowned such disparate acts as Hicks, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Fantasia Barrino.

What's missing on this "Idol," Slezak said, is "a real mix of different types."

"A lot of the guys are working a sort of Justin Timberlake-y, Usher-y vibe, and a lot of the women are sort of working an old-school Gladys Knight, Aretha kind of vibe," he said. "I was surprised by the fact that there aren't really any legitimate rock singers, that there doesn't seem to be anyone who's a country singer."

Remember Tami Gosnell, the pedicab driver from Colorado? Now there was a star. When she sang "Whipping Post" during her audition, it was like that scene in "The Queen" when Helen Mirren's Queen Elizabeth is nearly rendered speechless by the sight of a magnificent, elusive stag. Such moments happen rarely, when we least expect them.

So invigorating was Gosnell's bluesy, natural performance that it required another viewing, courtesy of DVR. She had a certain something -- a quality that can vaguely be described as "IT."

She was also inexplicably cut after this year's Hollywood rounds. In a sea of "blah," Gosnell certainly stood out.

Isn't that worth voting for?

Back In The Highlights Again
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20007164_20008533_20011172,00.html

Star Satellite recently received a stellar review in Boulder Weekly by Vince Darcangelo, and JR Wolfe wrote a spotlight story about yours truly in the April issue Colorado Music Buzz.

Thanks to Delta Groove Records and executive producer Rand Chortkoff, I was invited to attend the premeire of 'What Love Is" starring Cuba Gooding Jr. last week in Hollywood, and I got to sing with the Hollywood Blue Flames at the exclusive after-party at the elite nightclub, Avalon.

I am set to do some special benefit shows as well as a small east-coast tour early summer, so I will be updating my calendar soon.

I want to tell all of you how amazing it feels to have so much support flowing in. The kind words you have all said has made this transition so much easier. Just know that I am not giving up, this has only just begun! If you have a chance, come see a live show and we'll hang!!

With love and gratitude,
