Recipe For Flavor now available on Bandbox
If you’re following Bo Bice on Twitter, you already know that Bo has just added some new tracks to Bandbox, which is accessible through his official site.
The new tracks are actually old tracks; they’re from his 2000 EP called Recipe for Flavor. Among them is my personal favorite Bo song, Papion, which is the song that gets most of the the blame credit for me being here four years past Bo’s Idol run.

Bo Bice now on Twitter
Bo has joined the Tweeting Masses and signed up for Twitter, a micro-blog social networking site that allows for 140 character updates. It’s so much more than that, of course, and has been used by celebrities to communicate directly with their fans (and gain new ones in the bargain.) Ashton Kutcher recently raced CNN to the million follower mark, with Ashton breaking out for the win.
To “follow” Bo, just open a Twitter account, go to the link above, and click “follow”. You’ll then receive Bo’s updates in your Twitter feed.
Twitter has been much in the news as of late. It’s been a lifeline for the protesters in Iran to communicate with each other and the outside world.

Peep Party Audio Recording Available Now
You can now head on over to bobice.com to buy a download of Bo’s fan club party last week. I haven’t been able to buy it yet (long story involving issues with my main computer) but the word is that Bandbox is quick and easy and that the audio quality is really good.
At last! We don’t have to listen back to distorted cellcert recordings of Bo playing with the chainsaw-wielding aliens! And all for just $4.95. Hopefully this is the first of many shows that we will be able to buy.

Video from Yesterday’s CMA Performance
Not sure who took this but sjohnston found it on Youtube:
It’s great to hear the announcer say that the crowd was unusually large. Suedel stayed after Bo left and said the audience shrank considerably after his show. I think the new bassist Abbi looks great and wow at Bart’s weight loss!
Don’t forget that video or audio (we’re not sure which) of the fan party is supposed to be available this week so check bobice.com regularly.

Surprises Galore at Bo’s Peep Party
First of all, apologies that we haven’t blogged this week of events at CMA. We’ve all been unavailable for one reason or another (but just as an aside, my reason was WAY better than Jennheifer’s who had the nerve to take a few days vacation. Pfft!)
The week sounds like it was lots of fun - and Bo’s Sunday gig is still to come - but today was the Peep party and it sounds like there were lots of surprises.
First, Gary Nichols made a guest appearance and played a few songs with Bo - and who hasn’t missed Gary?!
Second, Bo announced that he’d be selling a download of the gig on his website. Wow! You know how when you’ve been banging on about something for 4 years and it just seems like a pipe dream but then one day it actually happens? Well, for ThreeDimen, it was Bo getting a haircut. For me, it’s Bo selling high quality downloads of his shows via his website. I cannot wait to fill up my computer hard drive with them all :)
Third, Bo and Caroline announced that they’re having another baby. Wow again! Huge congrats to Bo, Caroline and the entire Bice family … and now we know why the EP is called “3.”
I’m sure there’ll be more news, squeeing and photos to come, so check the forum later.

Brothers of the Southland album out today
The long-awaited Brothers of the Southland album is finally out today!
Powerful and to the point, “Brothers of the Southland” is rich with melody and dazzling instrumentation. These guys may be rehearsed professionals, but they’re still loose and natural. Guitars wail, harmonicas screech and a honking saxophone is always close at hand. - Indie Music Blog
“A sheer joy from beginning to end. The songs are amazing, with a superstar line-up it would be pretty darned hard to miss!” — Gritz Magazine
“The Brothers of the Southland are part of the great Southern rock tradition. Some of them played in Southern rock bands since the 1970s, but all of them carry the South deep inside. Their music is a powerful, rumbling rebel yell, from an aching moan to the wide-open joy that only Southern rock can bring.” — Don Cusic
“The best & purest Southern rock recording in decades!” — Southern Fried Magazine
What are you waiting for? Go buy it!

There’s a few new events, but the performance at the Chevy Stage/Sommet Center Plaza announced yesterday by Sirius/XM radio is not on the list. I tend to think Bo’s list is the correct one. Then again, Bo’s been known to have a few unannounced concerts. I guess the lucky peeps at the fan party can ask him.
ETA: It looks official now. The CMA Fest still doesn’t list Bo on their artists appearing roster, but here he is in their latest press release:
Sommet Center Plaza Stage Schedule:
Sunday, June 14
Bo Bice - 11:00 AM
Yay!
