Help DJT open for Bon Jovi

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 05:48:04 GMT

Hey all you DJT fans This is a shout out to you all, a calling out of my fans if you will. I need you all to prove that you are the best fans in the world. This is an opportunity for you all to see me perform with one of the greatest artists of all time, in Toronto. So here is all the info to help you vote for DJT to open for Bon Jovi in Toronto this summer! Fans have the opportunity to judge the "Bon Jovi Wanted: A SuperBAND Tonight!" Channel(s) of their choice in three places: OurStage.com, Bon Jovi's official Facebook page, and Bon Jovi's Web site. To judge on OurStage.com, fans must first create a free OurStage account. Once their account is set up, they can judge the contest by clicking the "Judge" button on the navigation bar at the top of the screen then selecting the "Bon Jovi's Wanted: A SuperBAND Tonight!" Music Channel of their choice. Fans will have the option of judging either "Sort 4" battles or "Head To Head" battles. For fans using Facebook, go to Facebook.com/BonJovi and click on the "SuperBAND" tab. They will automatically be taken to a landing page that explains the contest. From here they will see two buttons asking whether they want to judge as a "Fan" or join as an "Artist". After clicking "Judge as Fan," fans will be prompted to enter their Facebook login info. Next fans will be asked to accept the "judging application". Once the application is accepted, the fan will be asked to select the region they wish to judge. They will then be redirected to the judging widget, which looks and functions the same as "Sort 4" judging on OurStage. Fans using www.BonJovi.com must click the "Bon Jovi's Wanted: A SuperBAND Tonight!" link on the web site. Once selected the instructions are the same as the instructions for using Facebook. Your fans can guarantee that they we see your band in "Judging" by choosing your band as their "favorite", then judging 20 battles. To do so, they can select the green "favorite" button located under the "Fans" tab on your profile. (Let them know that selecting your band, as their favorite band does not count as a vote). I can't thank you all enough for your support. Sincerely DJT

100.7 The Island

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:10:42 GMT

So I just got back not too long ago from a little place called Little Current, ON. It's located on Manitoulin Island, which I found out is the Largest fresh water Island in the world. The place is beautiful and one thing I must say is so are the people. I have been a lot of places in my life and it is very rare to find a place where the people are so friendly and kind. I started my adventure with my two band mates Dan Kokol and Marty Beecroft. We headed 5 and a half hours north from our home town to do a live acoustic performance and interview with one of the best radio personalities in the business (KT Timmermans, The Island 100.7fm). Afterwards we were treated to a great lunch and told about every detail of the Island and the culture. Then we were shown some of the most beautiful scenery I personally have ever seen. We then started our journey back home but let me tell you the 11 hour drive was totally worth it.

Thank you so much KT and everyone from Manitoulin Island. Your continued support allows me to follow my dreams.

Rock and Country for a Country!

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:07:38 GMT

Well the Benefit Concert has come and gone. It was a huge success though and I must say I had a blast performing. Thank you to all the fans that came out and to everyone who helped make it possible. The bands were incredible and I am so proud to have gotten to perform with such great people. Misty Lee Olsen and Scotty had an amazing acoustic set that really blew everyone away. Shari-lynn rocked the house with her band. The Fred Grant Squares had everyone dancing and Vitology took the event home. So Thank you again to the organizers and to all the bands who made it a night to Remember.

What a month

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:58:24 GMT

Hey Everyone

So where do I begin? Hmmm let's start with the CCMA's. So I just got back not to long ago from the Canadian Country Music Awards, which were amazing. I had such a great time out in Vancouver, B.C. I got to meet some amazing people and hang out with some old friends. It was so much fun and so motivating for this upcoming year. I am so lucky to have all of you on this journey with me and I hope you are all ready for one hell of a ride. that being said I was pleasantly surprised when I returned home to find that my latest single has been getting crazy recognition at radio stations all across Canada. With well over 30 stations playing "Last Train" coast to coast it is by far the most successful single that we have released to date. More and more stations keep adding it everyday and more and more people keep hearing me for the first time. So I want to personally thank all of you for checking out my website and being a part of this with me. I look forward to seeing you all very soon and I will be updating and adding more shows to the end of this year so keep checking back.

Sincerely

DJT

Newest Single

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:43:44 GMT

Hey All

Just a quick update regarding my newest single to country radio. It is called "last train" and it was officially sent out today. Every country radio station will have it including internet stations as well. Please call and request it. If you do so they may not play it right away but if you use my moto "Call, Call again and Keep Calling until they play it." You leave them no other choice.

Thank you all so much you rock

Sincerely

DJT

In the Works!

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 22:09:08 GMT

Hey Guys and Gals!

Just wanted to thank you all personally for being such amazing fans and for following my career like you have. It is because of you that I get to do this every day, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because you all have been so amazing I wanted to keep you in the loop with everything that is happening with me right now.

So the beginning of the summer was really busy for me as far as shows go but I really haven't had a lot of public appearences as far as shows since, here's why. I have been writing a lot of songs and working with some amazing writer's as well trying to get more demo's done for those songs and hopefully get them published. Also I have been planning a radio tour so that once we officially release the next single I can start to have numerous radio interviews set up all over the country and get a chance to meet all of you. I have also been in talks with different director's and producer's to hopefully get a video for CMT done for the next single and lastly I have been talking to a few record labels and feel like I am ready to venture into that realm now with the success that the current album has shown. So just because I haven't been performing as much does not mean that I have not been busy planning bigger and better things so that more of me can come to you.

Love you all talk to you soon.

Sincerely

DJT

Peterborough Festival of Lights!

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:16:05 GMT

Hey all

It has been a crazy month for me so I apologize for the lack of updates but I am back and excited to let you guys know what has been going on.

For starters I had the honour of performing in some great city's this month and want to thank each and everyone of them for their support and allowing me to be a part of their communities. So thank you very much to Innisfil, Guelph and Peterborough. I had a blast in each of your cities.

I started the month out with a radio interview at Country 93 and then followed that up with a performance at the Innisfil summer Fest. After that I travelled to Guelph to perform at the Stampede Racnh for all the Fans and the Country 95.3 crew. I then capped the month off with an incredible show at the Peterborough Festival of Lights. The festival brought in roughly 5 to 6 Thousand fans and I loved meeting what seemed like every single one of them. That was truly a show I will always remember and the People of Peterborough were amazing, you all made me feel like i was at home in your community.

So thank you to everyone who came out to the shows. It means so much to me and I hope I can meet you all again real soon.

Sincerely

DJT
