Help Me Win a Spot on The Warped Tour / Win Free Stuff / Hear New Music

I’m trying to win a spot on the 2010 Vans Warped Tour, and I need your help! It’s really easy, actually, and if you don’t mind helping out then I’m going to try to hook you up with some awesome Kiera Plan merch.

All you need to do is to go to:

http://www.battleofthebands.com/thekieraplan

You’ll need to create an account the first time, but that will only take like 30 seconds (first name, last name, birthday, password, and that’s about it). Once you have your account set up, you can visit that Kiera Plan link anytime and vote for TKP to win! You can vote once a day for me. You can also become a fan of The Kiera Plan on that same page.

I understand if you can’t vote every day, but every vote is a huge help! So I appreciate anything you can do.

To thank you, I’ve posted two songs from the debut album (“It Only Takes One” and “If They Could See You Now”) that aren’t available for full streaming anywhere else! There are also some other favorites from the album up there as well. Please do rock out and enjoy.

Here’s the best part: YOU CAN WIN FREE KIERA PLAN STUFF! I’m officially announcing The Kiera Plan 2010 Warped Tour Contest.

Once a week, starting this Friday April 16th, I will randomly select a fan on the Warped Tour page who will win a free copy of The Kiera Plan debut CD, Dedication. I’ll select a weekly winner every Friday from now until the end of May.

In addition, on Friday April 30th and on Monday May 31st I’ll select the two grand prize winners who will receive a free copy of the CD, a Kiera Plan t-shirt, and an autographed Kiera Plan poster!

To be eligible to win, you’ll just need to be a fan of The Kiera Plan on the Warped Tour site, and you’ll just need to leave us a comment saying that you want in on the contest!

Your help would mean a lot to me, so thank you for your consideration! And good luck to all of you who decide to participate in The Kiera Plan 2010 Warped Tour Contest!

In the Kitchen (That's Where the Coffee Is)

The kitchen is a great place to cook things up, whether you’re making fresh bread or fresh beats. In my case, the latter has been more appropriate – I’m not sure I want to eat any baked good I created myself until I’ve received formal culinary training first.

The point is that I’ve been working on a new song that I’m really excited about. It’s definitely one of my favorite contenders for album two, and I may actually try to utilize the demo I’m making in my live show. I miss hearing other instruments around me when I’m performing, and I have something fun in mind that I’m going to experiment with.

Speaking of the live show, I’m actually going to be playing a show (live in person) this Friday at The Well in Feasterville. It’s a coffeehouse-type deal, and not only will there be other musical acts, but I even think there may be some comedians or poets, too. I think it has all the makings of a memorable gig. Please check out the event details on Facebook if you’d like to see the show.

Thanks in advance to my friend Susan for inviting me to play, and retroactively to my homie Jeff from Me Against Myself for an awesome show invite a few weeks back as well. I’m especially grateful for these opportunities right now, because with two jobs and wedding planning (the big day is in June) I’ve been too busy to be an effective booking agent for myself. These invites are keeping me in business! Please do consider the currently acoustic stylings of The Kiera Plan for your next show or event. I would love to play!
