It’s almost time to say goodbye to our good friends at EMMA (the email service you get this newsletter from) in favor of something called “AWeber”. That means I must ask you to RESUBSCRIBE to the Orleans VIF (Very Important Fan) emailing list.
Now, we know you’re busy, but this is quick, easy and painless. Only takes 60 seconds and a few clicks. This may be your LAST chance to do this …and HERE’s the thing:
We have a SECRET SUPER SPECIAL FREEBIE GIFT ready and waiting for all you nice (not naughty 🙂 VIF list members come Christmastime. We dug DEEP for this content … about an hour of some of the oldest and newest audio we have! If you’re reading this, then YOU WANT THIS!
What’s the catch? You have to STILL be on the list (the NEW AWeber list) when we announce the bonus to you.
So, please RESUBSCRIBE NOW … and stay tuned!
There’s a new Audio Sampler up on the OrleansOnline.com Home page … and it starts with our Christmas ballad, “New Star Shining”. Find out how to get this tune (and 16 others) FREE.
The “We’re Still Havin’ Fun” DVD is NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE! And RIGHT NOW, in the Spirit of the Holidays, we are giving away FREE CDs and discounts when you order the DVD. Click here for full details!
We’ve had a tremendous response to this offer … and great feedback about the DVD itself! Thanks goes out to all you happy viewer/listeners!
Don’t miss this opportunity to have Orleans perform live, right in your own living room … at a Special price!
John Guertin provides us with all the Orleans “SWAG” (merchandise), like t-shirts, caps, jackets …
John says “EVERYTHING MUST GO!” and he’s priced it all to move NOW! Most of this stuff has never been posted to the website … just available at live gigs. This is your big chance to get Orleans Logowear at rock-bottom prices — just in time to stuff somebody’s stocking (maybe even your own :-).
Two long-lost albums … “Analog Men” (1994) and “Ride” (1996) … are now available as mp3 downloads!
These two CDs are out of print and difficult to find anywhere at any price … but we’re making these hidden Orleans gems available to YOU … our fans … right here, right now! … and at special discount pricing!
Listen to samples of TWENTY tracks known only to the most serious diehard fans …checkout the R&B-style REMAKE of “Dance With Me” … then add these cuts to your collection!
On Saturday, Dec 1st, RPM with David Pack (Ambrosia), Rick Derringer, Jimi Jamison played at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Cape Canaveral, FL in “The Rocket Garden”! VERY COOL gig … and I’ll have details and pics for the next newsletter … along with that special Audio Downloads Bonus for all you resubscribers. 🙂
Prime touring season for 2007 is over, but gigs do tend to pop up from nowhere. Please check the Tour Dates page periodically for more details and updates about live shows.
