New album & single - "Break the Silence"

Jon Peter Lewis is releasing a second album called Break the Silence! Bam! It's coming out this May. And you can get the first single next month. On March 18th, the title track, Break the Silence will be released online. Plus, a music video is being filmed for the single!

The response to the tracks have already been phenomenal. Here's a few of the talented people involved in the album: producer Chris Garcia (Santana, Michelle Branch), executive producer Don Grierson (Heart, Cheap Trick, Duran Duran), drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, Indigo Girls), and guitarist Nick Lashley (Alanis Morissette).

Jon has been busy with shows and shows and shows through all the wintery madness. He might be in your neighborhood very soon. Check the calendar on the website. Upcoming shows include Pennsylvania, Kansas, Utah, California, and Arizona. And Jon has been asked to come play South by Southwest, one the largest and most anticipated music events of the year. If you're near Austin, Texas or you just want to hit the best music festival in the country, come see Jon play March 13.

Are you tired yet? Because there's more! In between playing shows, Jon continues to appear on radio and TV. He just finished an appearance on Fox and Friends last week and there'll be more tv and radio appearances and performances as Jon pontificates about American Idol and talks about his upcoming second album.

And blogs! Not only is Jon now a celebrity guest blogger for Entertainment Weekly but Jon is starting his own blog which you will find a link to on his website. The blog will be hosted by Jon and some close and talented friends who will wax blogoetical about Jon, Idol, Random Things. So check out the EW blog for Jon's insights on Idol and his new blog via his website.

One last thing and you can go rest yourselves. Jon will be answering questions by way of video. So get your questions in by the end of the month in this thread. Now go buy a Cadbury Egg and relax. You deserve it.

Here's an idea I had to help promote Jon. Like all my other ideas, it's kind of wacky and "out there", but I had to do it! It was too much fun not to act upon. This way, Jon can "Break The Silence"...along with a few eggs...


I went on Rachael Ray's website (she's the currently popular cooking show host for those of you unfamiliar with her), and suggested they get Jon on the show! I hope he won't mind!



****Dear Rachael,

Hello, I'm Michael from South Australia. My sister and I are huge fans of your show, and I love your recipe ideas and your wonderful personality, as well as all the interesting topics you feature on the show.

I am working on a Masters degree in English/Creative Writing at university, and I am interested in finding a career in music reviewing and writing articles about music, for newspapers, magazines, and online publications.

I was wondering, if I may, if I could suggest an idea for a guest to feature on your show in the near future.


I'm a Street Team member for American singer/songwriter Jon Peter Lewis. I have some awesome news I just received from my friends at Jon's forum stating that Jon's second album "Break The Silence" will be released on May 6 and the first single from the album, also entitled "Break The Silence" will be available on March 18.



Jon's debut album, "Stories From Hollywood" was released as a limited indie release through Jon's own label, Cockaroo Entertainment, on November 7 2006. It is fantastic and truly shows Jon's brilliance as not only a vocalist, but also a songwriter and rhythm guitarist, plus he produced it himself as well. Jon was the first former "American Idol" contestant to produce his own independent album, which was critically appraised by fans and critics alike. We are eager to spread the news about the new album.

Jon's MySpace and official website are as follows:

Maybe, if Jon's not too shy, he'll even cook something for you! I don't know if he cooks as well as he sings, but it would be fun for fans to see!

Cheers, Michael****



OK, you can all have me sent to the Macadamia Ranch now. It's official, I've finally flipped my raspberry!

Cheers, Mikey
