JP has also added a new blog entry and is adding a couple songs on the download site this week.
Join up for the newsletter and you too can have access to unreleased material. Finally, the playoffs are around the bend, GO SENS GO!

JP HOE RECEIVES 2 WESTERN CANADIAN MUSIC AWARD NOMINATIONS
Last month JP was nominated for 2 Western Canadian Music Awards
(WCMA), with the award show on September 20, 2009 in Brandon
Manitoba. These are JP's second and third WCMA nominations to date,
already receiving the recommendation of Outstanding Pop Recording for
his 2006 album The Live Beta Project. This year's nods come in the
form Outstanding Pop Recording for The Dear John Letters and
Songwriter of the Year. Unfortunately voting is not open to the
public, but JP is thrilled to be nominated, and is very thankful for
the recognition.
DREAMS COME TRUE FOR JP HOE PROM KING
This past June saw the first annual JP HOE PROM SHOW take place and
like any good prom we crowned a King and Queen. This year's King was
given his crown and helped make our evening a smashing success.
Normally he would go back to his kingdom and the story would end
there. However we received word that our King and the crown have gone
on to bigger and better things. At a recent Green Day concert the
King was asked (wearing his crown) to get on stage and sing a Green
Day song with the band, then...as you can see below he passed the
throne to another. We not saying we're miracle workers, but we're
saying good things happen to those who love the concerts! Way to go
King!

I PREFER TO WATCH.
Who doesn't? JP has recently uploaded 17 new videos to YOUTUBE and
they were not meant no to be unwatched. So, grab some chow mein, dim
the lights, unplug the phone and head to YOUTUBE and search JP HOE.
By the time you finish watching them all, just try and tell us you
have stress, just try.
FACEBOOKED YA SUCKA!
Seriously folks, lets add ourselves to the JP Hoe fan page on
Facebook and see if we can overload the facebook mega computer! The
fan page is the first page to post new videos and songs, and we would
like JP Hoe fans to connect and thank each other for supporting great
music. And if that doesn't move you, how about
"Everyone in high school is doing it? Don't you want to be cool like
us?", so go.
House concerts YOU can host!
Clubs are fun, and pubs even more cosy, but the most intimate way to listen to a concert...in your living room. A house concert. You may have heard of them, you may have gone to one, or you may be a regular host, well JP is always looking for unique concert opportunities. They're a mixture of music, storytelling, friends, food, wine, interaction, and conversation with the artist. If this sounds appealing, please go to the website to find out how to contact us, we'll provide you with the details and what you'll need.
