A good start to 2010

So it's been a great year so far. I found out that my new album "Michigan's Waltz" made it in the top 10 of John Bommarito's (Ann Arbor's 107.1) top 100 albums of the year, coming in at number 9. The album also made number 4 in Torch & Twang's (East Lansing's Impact 88.9fm) top 45 albums of the year. On top of that I found out that I had been nominated for 3 Grand Rapids WYCE 88.1 Jammie Awards. I didn't win, but being nominated was enough to make my year! On top of all that I was accepted into the Earthwork Music Collective as an official member!

For those of you who don't know about the Earthwork collective, check us out online at www.earthworkmusic.com . it's a great group of people who are working together to not only make great music, but to promote and work on important issues like keeping our rivers and lakes clean and preserving our water supplies, supporting organic farming, and promoting a strong and healthy school system so our kids can have better lives than we do. My mom is a Lansing Kindergarten teacher so I understand the struggles with a school system in trouble from the crumbled Michigan economy.

So yes, 2010 has been a good year so far and I'm excited for the days to come. Jen Sygit and myself have a packed schedule with multiple tours in the works. We'll be in Chicago on March 2oth to kick off a tour to New Orleans and back. Keep an eye out on my website for a complete list of dates. www.samcorbin.com

Hope to see you on the road,
