August 15, 2008Giveaway! Jonatha Brooke's new cd
I was a fan of Jonatha Brooke for many years before we met in person. She has been my soundtrack through falling in love, breakups, moving to New Orleans and San Francisco. We used to sing out loud to her songs at the clothing store where I worked when all the customers had gone. I never dreamed that we'd be friends one day. You should know that she has the dearest and most tender heart in addition to being a total badass rockstar. Her most recent album is a collection of Woody Guthrie songs that have never been set to music. It is beautiful and soulful and I can't wait for you to hear it. It will be out August 26th but she is taking pre-orders right now. We're going to give away 3 autographed copies to you though! Just leave a comment on this post and we will randomly pick three lucky winners. (Just push "post" once and wait a moment. The comment should appear) Giveaway Guidelines: Comments
I hope I win....I hope I win.... :) Posted by: glo at August 18, 2008 08:04 PMHi Andrea and Jonatha, 'Careful What You Wish For' is my life logo...this song speaks such truth and the serendipitious events that follow each time I listen to this song evokes such 'magic' through Ms. Brooke's melodic voice. This song is music I choice to listen to when I need a sign/a universal nudge or a cosmic wink on which path to pursue. This is my equivalent lycrically of Dorothy's red shoes in my own Oz. Woody and Jonatha together, bliss in my IPOD!! Thank you for considering me! Trish Jonatha Brooke and Woody Guthrie? A match made in heaven! Thanks for the chance to hear the beautiful collaboration.

Posted by: Tamera at August 18, 2008 10:33 AMAndrea, I've heard you talk about Jonatha and have her on my "to-buy" list...monday, and all days, are good for some soulfulness!! Posted by: Andrea at August 18, 2008 10:22 AMI absolutely love Jonatha Brooke's songs. Love her lyrics! What a coincidence. Just heard her over a college radio station this past weekend. Her music stirred me. Through one blog and another, I was led to this post. Beautiful. Posted by: cyndy at August 18, 2008 10:07 AMWhoo hoo, I'm in. been a fan for a very long time. hoping she decides to tour in the midwest again soon, and wishing she still did house concerts now that i have a house big enough to sponser them! p.s. my sister LOVES her superhero necklace. she's basically a 'single' mother of three when her husband goes off to do his own thing. so when she wears it, it's a secret message to her heart that I know her truest identity. Posted by: LEE at August 18, 2008 10:06 AMYay! Posted by: Susan at August 18, 2008 10:05 AMWhat a coincidence. Just heard her over a college radio station this past weekend. Her music stirred me. Through one blog and another, I was led to this post. Beautiful. Posted by: cyndy at August 18, 2008 10:02 AMi'd love to have a copy of the cd, although i'd be tempted to donate it to the fundraiser i'm doing to help defeat prop 8 (which would make my marriage illegal). Posted by: wen at August 18, 2008 10:01 AMWhat a lovely treat for someone... Love her music and love your generosity!! "good luck to me..." Posted by: jill at August 18, 2008 09:59 AMcan't wait to hear her new cd. Posted by: Valerie at August 18, 2008 09:50 AMI'm intrigued. Whether I win or not, I'll have to have a listen to her music.

I'd love a copy of her new CD so I can introduce her work to my friends here in England ! Posted by: Cheryl at August 18, 2008 09:24 AMThe irony is that one of Jonatha's songs came on my i-pod yesterday while I was running in the sun and it made me start smiling. A few moments later I realized that some teenagers had stolen my shirt and water bottle and it didn't bother me as I was still happy from the song! Posted by: Ilene at August 18, 2008 09:18 AMCount me in, too!!

Jonatha has been with me during breakups, falling in love and various other major life changes (although, of course, Jonatha doesn't know that)..... Everytime you mention her in your blog, Andrea, I am a teensy-tiny bit jealous that you actually are friends with this amazing woman. Like attracts like though, right? It only makes sense that the two of you found each other in this world of ours. Posted by: sarah at August 18, 2008 05:57 AMSeriously, you are friends with her? Rock on! Love her work!

She's amazing. Posted by: Honey at August 16, 2008 02:49 PMOh, Andrea! I'm so psyched about your new Web site design - it is bee-eautiful! I know there was a lot of drama when you first announced there would be changes. But who can come here and not see how happy these changes are? Just look at all the beautiful things your friends are doing - they're right there where you can see them, every time you come here. You're all soul, Andrea - that's why I can't resist checking in (not that I'd ever try to resist - why would one do that?! :) Kudos, lady! And I would so love a copy of Jonatha's new CD - please sign me up for the drawing! I think it's fantastic that she was charged with some of Woodie Guthrie's songs - I wondered who'd get the next batch. How lovely that she did! Posted by: Sarah at August 16, 2008 02:44 PMOhhh, this would make me and my family smile!!! Please pick me:) Thank you for the opportunity! love you, love jonatha! Posted by: meesh at August 16, 2008 02:33 PMI got to meet Jonatha last November when she was in Cincinnati, WOW, what a wonderful show. Recently I was going through some old Guitar magazines and found an article on Jonatha & Woody in the July 1999, No.79 'Acoustic Guitar' magazine. The article on Jonatha was in the Jump Street section called "Live it up" and talked about her Live CD as well as pushing the single, 'Because I Told You So'. The article on Woody was called the "Dust-Bowl Diaries". Also covered was the The Woody Guthrie Archives and the traveling exhibit at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles - This Land Is Your Land: "The Life and Legacy of Woody Guthrie" Jonatha will now be part of Woody's legacy as well - WOW! You know, you can never have enough Jonatha music. I have already order the new CD but getting another would be more to share. Thanks Andrea for this chance to have more Jonatha.

Believe me, I hear you when you say her As a single girl in a new city, I too felt a connection to her moving music from the moment I heard her on WXPN, Philadelphia. I plan to see her upcoming concert in Alexandria, VA in November, but an advance [autographed] copy would be so very welcome. Love your blog, love this giveaway.
