October 18th, 2004
HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY JOSH!!! Have a wonderful day!
September 26th, 2004
 MVI_2045.AVI (5044k file)
The only word I can come up with at the moment to explain my experience last night at the concert is - WOW.
I couldn't sleep Friday night- and when I finally fell asleep it was 4:30 in the morning. I woke up at 7:00 and got ready
to leave, stopped by Wall-mart to pick up a marker and then I was on my way to Ducktown Tennessee for the "Ocoee River
Days".
On the way up the winding roads of Tennessee I started to see signs saying "Ocoee River Days - with American
Idol Josh Gracin" That's when it really hit me that I was about to see the person that has been my whole life for 2 years,
Josh- My American Idol.
I get there at 10:00- I had VIP passes so parking was a breeze. Josh wasn't
scheduled to come on until 7:45 so my friend Lauren and I hung out the whole day, walking around doing just about nothing.
At about 4:30 a brown and white tour bus pulled up- Lauren, my sister Brianna, and I were across
the river and we looked up at the bus and started running. By the time we got there they had already taped off an area around
the bus so you couldn't get really close to it. Then we see some people getting off and I see a girl that doesn't look much
older than me...and then she gets closer and then I realized that it was Ann Marie (Josh's Wife)...then I see a man
holding a little girl with beautiful blonde curls...and then I realize that it was Josh himself and Briana (his
Daughter). They walked off of the bus right beside Lauren,Brianna and I and smiled and said hi. Then they got
into a van and left to go eat supper. When 6:00 came around and we went and set up some chairs near the front and we watched
"Little Big Town" perform. They were really good. Then we got up and walked back by the tour bus and then the van pulled
up and Josh, Ann Marie, and Briana got out. They walked right by us, smiled, said hi again and got on
the tour bus. "Little Big Town" got done at about 7:00- then there was nothing to do but sit there and wait…knowing
that Josh would be out in 45 minutes. 7:45 comes and Josh walks out with a big “Hey guys!” and all
of the girls in the crowd went wild. The concert got started with “Turn It Up”, which got the crowd to
jumping and yelling. Josh sang for an hour. He sang all of the songs on his cd and a few songs by other people- and
closed up the concert with “The Other Little Solider”and the encore song was his new single “Nothing
To Lose”.
After the concert we got in the very back of the line so we could talk to him while we got our
autograph and we wouldn’t be rushed. So while the line was getting shorter, we saw Ann Marie and Briana…my
sister Kendyl went up to her and asked if she could get her picture made with her, and of course she said yes. So they
took the picture and then we got back in line. Finally we made it to the front. Josh was sitting there behind a table
and had a big smile on his face. He greeted us and thanked us for coming and asked if we enjoyed the show. We told him yes
of course. The show really was amazing. Then he signed everything we had brought…and then got a picture made with each
of us. It was the most wonderful concert experience I’ve ever had.
If you live ANYWHERE near where Josh
will be- GO TO THE CONCERT! They were all SO nice! I really had a wonderful time and would pay any price to go again

JOSH GRACIN
SIGNS WITH LYRIC STREET RECORDS
Nashville, TN --
Lyric Street Records President, Randy Goodman has announced that the label has signed singer, Josh Gracin. The United States
Marine was an American Idol 2 finalist last year where he won hearts and votes on the popular television show and ultimately
captured fourth place. Gracin, who always aspired to be a country singer, is the first contestant to bring country music to
American Idolone of the songs he performed was now label mates Rascal Flatts smash hit, Im Movin On.
Im really excited
about signing with Lyric Street, says Gracin. It was one of the first labels I was interested in because I am a huge fan of
Rascal Flatts. I was thrilled when they decided to sign me and meeting the staff reconfirmed it: they really look out for
the artists best interest. I am very impressed by their level of commitment to the artists and the music. I know Im at the
right place to launch my career.
Currently on active duty with the United States Marines, Gracin is spending all of
his few days off in the studio recording his debut album for Lyric Street Records. Marty Williams, co-producer of both of
Rascal Flatts albums and one of Nashvilles most in demand recording engineers (Faith Hill, JoDee Messina, Reba, Vince Gill),
has been tapped to produce the album. Look for a single from Gracin to hit country radio as early as March.
Lyric
Street Records is a part of the Buena Vista Music Group. The Buena Vista Music Group is the recorded music and music publishing
arm of The Walt Disney Company.

Monday September 29th, 2003
Straight from JG.com!
MAJOR UPDATES! Finally, great
news! Today I was informed of some extremely exciting news that
you guys are going to love. I'll have more later, but I just couldn't wait until tomorrow to deliver this news! Josh will
be in Nashville next week for meetings with two record companies - RCA Nashville and Dreamworks Records. Hopefully, this will result in a record deal!
Tomorrow I will link to a place
where you can wish Josh good luck, give him words of encouragement, etc. I will also give information on the YMCA event held
this past weekend in Milwaukee, WI where Josh performed. Alyx, a fan in attendance at the event, has provided JG.COM with
some great photos of Josh performing and signing autographs. She also provided a short review of the event that I will post

Great News! Josh was on American Juniors in the audience as a guest! Ryan
introduced him as an American Idol. Which we (his fans) already knew J. It was great to see him again. Josh also recently made a trip to Nashville.
It looks like we may be starting this AWESOME music career sooner than we all thought! Keep checking back here for the latest
Josh news!
Friday - June 27th, 2003
I have sad news, and bad news for any Josh fans
with tickets to the AI2 tour. The USMC has decided to not let Josh tour. I am very sad, but it is his job. He has said
he is a Marine first. Make sure to be in prayer for Josh. He and his family need our prayers. I'm sure he was looking foward
to going on tour and seeing all of his MANY fans. If you have tickets. Still go and take a BIG sign about Josh. and support
Clay while you are there!
Tuesday - June 3rd, 2003
 Apparently Josh did us (and the rest of this country) proud yesterday morning when he wowed the crowd at the USS
Constellation homecoming event in San Diego, CA. Singing Diamond Rio's I Believe a capella (playing the guitar
to it, as well), God Bless the USA, and the National Anthem in a large black cowboy hat and a denim jacket,
our American Idol "brought it home" (no pun intended). There are only short clips of each of his performances in this one
video clip from San Diego's KFMB.
