Bo Bice: #1 Unofficial Bo Bice site - Bona Fide Bice

Two idols walk into a bar…

Bo’s fans know that although he’s on twitter and facebook, he’s just not that into them. They’re a nice place to visit, but he doesn’t want to live there, you know? We’ve gotten used to long stretches without updates or mentions. So last night was a hoot, when Bo and David Archuleta wandered into the same Nashville club. One tweet later…

@DavidArchie: Just ran into Bo Bice! Small world haha.

…and the internets went off on Bo. It seems Archie’s fans, well, they retweet. And retweet. And retweet. It’s cute.

Bo’s posted a very dark photo of the encounter – “Bo and David @ Tin Roof. Ran into my Buddy David @ my local haunt. He is a cool kid! That’s Nashville!!”

It’s murky, but those smiles are unmistakable.

I wonder if we could talk Archie into running into Bo more often? Then we’d know what he’s up to.

Does Bo know college football?

Saturday, August 28th

Jason Toy hosts College Football Country, a weekly program mixing the passion of the game with the rhythms of country music, from 8 to 10 AM Eastern. This week marks the one-year anniversary of the show’s debut and will feature the Southeastern Conference. Scheduled guests include head coaches Houston Nutt from the University of Mississippi and Kentucky’s Joker Phillips; along with MRN broadcaster Eli Gold, also the radio voice of the defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide. The country music co-host is Bo Bice.

The show is on the MotorRacing Network, the “voice of NASCAR.” It’s carried on Sirius Radio and a number of country and talk radio stations – check the website for affiliates in your area.

There’s a nice article about Bo and his health in the latest ‘issue’ of Body and More. This isn’t an actual magazine, but a collection of stories that newspapers, magazines, and trade publications can buy to insert into their own publications. So don’t look for this in your grocery aisle. It’s a pleasant little read anyway, and Bo sure looks good and healthy, doesn’t he?

He drank way too much and didn’t take care of his health. Add in the fact that Bice suffered from intussusception, an intestinal condition he’s had since birth that worsens under stress, and Bice was on a collision course. “I knew liquor wasn’t good for the body, but I liked it.”

This philanthropic, spiritual man is a far cry from the party boy who was once arrested for cocaine and marijuana possessions (charges were dropped) and who has been in and out of hospitals. His doctors have given him a clean bill of health, his career is once again going in the right direction and he’s a happy husband and dad. So if you ever see him eating pizza, let him enjoy it.

All I’m askin’ is for a little request

Jennheifer — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:03:40 +0000

Bo’s music video for You Take Yourself With You is out and about on the internet, and now he’s asking his fans for a little help to get it on tv. So go on over to the video mailbox page on GAC and write in a request for YTYWY.

C’mon, do it. Bo’s counting on you.

Who says you can’t go home?

American Idol has been bringing idol alums out to the auditions for season 10, having them chat up the contestants and do some press for the show. Today’s San Francisco hopefuls are lucky enough to get Bo Bice. He’s been talking to the crowd, giving them pep talks, and leading the stadium in the obligatory group song (We Will Rock You – could have been a lot worse!). Listen to Bo, people – he knows.

Here’s an interview with a reporter who seems very happy to see him -

Bo looks like he’s really enjoying himself. I’m happy to see Idol giving some love back to a guy who brought so much to the show. But curse it! Now I’m going to have to watch the audition episodes next season.

ETA: One of the contestants took a video of Bo leading the crowd in We Will Rock You. You can’t see him, but you sure can hear him.

Knocked it out of the park, Bo!

You Take Yourself With Video premieres

Here’s a first look at the music video for Bo’s single, courtesy of The Boot.

Looks like it was shot by the same person who did the informal videos for 3 on Bo’s youtube channel - it’s going for the same grainy, old home movie vibe. It’s a little cliched, but still nicely done. I’m so pleased Bo and his label took the plunge, and if it gets some airplay on GAC and CMT it should give the single a nice boost.

What do you think? If you like it, go comment over at The Boot’s facebook page, and anywhere else you see it posted while you’re at it. The video can be embedded on blogs and websites, so spread the word.

ETA: The video is also up on AOL.

Old Orchard Bice

Bo played a radio station concert on the beach in Old Orchard Beach, Maine last night, and by all accounts it turned into a lovefest. Bo’s never played Maine before, and most everyone in the crowd was there to see Joe Nichols. But a few minutes of Bo and his guitar were enough to shake the rafters and get everyone on their feet. Judging by twitter and facebook, Bo made some new fans:

I have a whole new respect for Bo Bice! That man is extremely talented & a ham :)

@OfficialBoBice ~ OOB (Old Orchard Beach Maine) fell in love with you last night! Or at least, I did! ;0)

Joe nichols and bo bice are the shit.

He even got called back up for an encore, which isn’t something I’ve seen very often for an opening act. Here it is, in two parts -

I think he’d still be up there singing if they’d have let him. The rest of the show is up on youtube as well – check it out.

Stars can see Biloxi, stars can see their faces in the sea

Jennheifer — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 16:18:16 +0000

Bo’s signed on for two events in Biloxi next week

On Tuesday it’s a “Celebrate the Summer” concert at the Coast Coliseum -

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! THERE WILL BE A FREE CONCERT HERE AT THE COAST COLISEUM ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 17 AT 8:00 PM AND DOORS OPEN AT 6:30. YOU CAN GET TICKETS STARTING MONDAY AT 10:00 AM!!! HERE ARE THE PERFORMERS: TAYLOR HICKS, BO BICE, TERRI CLARK, LONESTAR, AND MONTGOMERY GENTRY!!!

Do you think they’re excited? This one is likely to draw a big crowd.

Then on Friday Bo will be joining a smaller but probably more rambunctious crowd to raise money for local charities –

Local rock disciples will see a skateboarder, surfer and a former NFL player on stage at the second annual Rockin’ the Coast charity event at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino next week. Former Saints player Kyle Turley and his band will share the stage with others, such as guest performer Bo Bice.

The doors will open for this year’s Rockin’ the Coast being held at Hard Rock Live on Aug. 20 at 6 p.m.
The proceeds will go to local organizations in Harrison, Hancock and Jackson counties.

“This year we will also donate $5,000 to the Gulf Coast Symphony’s Youth Orchestra,” said Jessica Dukes of the Hard Rock.

ETA: The Celebrate The Summer concert will be taped for a tv special to air later in the month:

A free concert starring Montgomery Gentry, Terri Clark, Bo Bice, Lone Star and David Hasselhoff will be at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. Gov. Haley Barbour announced today that the concert will be part of an hour-long television to air on the CW network Aug. 27.

Production crews will be in Biloxi to film the special and Coast residents are invited to participate as extras during the taping at the Coliseum.

Can’t wait to see it!

David Hasselhoff?

Looking for a good time?

Bo going to be singing the Star Spangled Banner at a couple sporting events this month, and there’s a good chance we’ll all get to tune in to one or both renditions.

Bo Bice is set to perform the National Anthem this Sunday, August 8th during the pre-race festivities of the final NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of the year, the 2010 Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips event at The Glen. ESPN is broadcasting the event during the day with introductions starting approximately Noon ET. (Green Flag at 1pm ET) [...]

Bo is also scheduled to perform the anthem during the Tennessee Titans opening season game Monday, August 23rd at Nashville’s LP Field stadium. The Titans square off against the Phoenix Cardinals for the first Monday Night Football game of regular NFL season play.

It’s not a certainty, but the anthem does make the broadcast sometimes on these shows. Fingers crossed.

It’s always a treat to hear Bo sing the SSB – he does it without frills or bombast, just a deep and simple passion that gives me goosebumps. I’m not sure which performance has moved me more – that first one on the 4th of July that was a revelation – who knew he could do that? The one at the town hall meeting that made me so proud and so sad? Or the 5 am airport version that he sang for his grandfather?

I doubt I’ll be as moved these next few times – auto racing and football may be all-American but they don’t usually make me tear up. Still. Knock ‘em out of the park, Bo.
