Hi Everyone!

Just some news from the last week and a bit.

Last Monday, December 7 Andre was on the Radio with Steven Francis from 93.3 McMaster Radio on a show called Dusted Off, its a show about The Blues and Motown and its on every Monday from 6-7 p.m.

You can download episodes and hear the show here and you can go to Steven's Myspace here . It was a great show where Steven and Andre talked about the Blues and Andre's music.

Andre's Rhythm & Blues Christmas Concert went well on Sun. Dec. 13, 2009 which was recorded live, filmed by a few sources and enjoyed by many. Thanks to everyone for coming out to our concert, we can't' thank you enough for your support and friendship!!!

You can watch the videos at our youtube site HERE under favourites, it was also posted by our Blues Hamilton Lovers!

On Tues. Dec. 15, 2009 Andre and our bass player Mike Rowell went down to the Cable 14 Studio on Dundurn for an interview with Mark Vituska. Thanks Mark! It was a lot of fun. So that should be on Hamilton's Cable 14 in the new week or 2.

Also! Don't forget about Andre's CD Sale on www.CDbaby.com/bisson so check it out! All profit will be donated to charity. More details below!

THANKS

Happy Holidays!!

I wanted to send you a letter letting you know that during the holiday season (Dec.11-31)  My CD “Rhythm & Blues Experience” Will be on sale for 30% off!

ALSO:

All the profit yes ALL the profits will go to charities that help the less fortunate especially around this time of year.

The reason I’m giving all the profits to charity is simple.  I didn’t get into the music business for the fame and fortune.  I got into this line of work because I love making music and I love the way it can make people feel.  I’m not rich but I am comfortable living within my means and I feel very lucky to do what I do for a living and the best way to show my appreciation is to give back to those who are less fortunate.

Thank you all for kindness and support.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all the best in the new year!

Andre
