Hey guys,

I have the craziest news ever. We have just been added to a show in Hamilton, ON at "The Casbah" Thursday November 19th with JUNO AWARD WINNER Holly McNarland. Holly has collaborated with numerous artists such as Matt Good and The Tea Party. However, she is most known for her BIG SHINY TUNES smash hit "NUMB". Check out the video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYRR8s1gdRA&feature=PlayList&p=50CE18ACC57979A2&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=25

This will be our biggest show to date and we need EVERYONE to come out and support us. This is our first opportunity to play with a Major Label Artist and this is also the gateway opportunity to start playing on larger bills with Major Label acts coming through Hamilton.

We have 50 tickets for this event and we need to get rid of them all. Tickets are only $20 and you can e-mail me at Jason@whatifthisdreamisallwehave.com for purchase. WE REALLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!!!

Check Holly’s stuff out here: http://www.hollymcnarland.net/

Lots of stuff going on at the What If? camp. Info on where you can vote and request “Feel The Bombs” on MUCH MUSIC coming soon. Records are now on I-TUNES, lots of stuff in the works!! See you on the 19th. Please e-mail me for TIX.

Hey guys. I'm so excited to share this information…Friday Oct 2, 2009 “Feel The Bombs” Music Video will be Released!! We will be having a “Video Release Party” in my new home town of Hamilton, ON aka “The Hammer” aka “Steel Town” aka “What If This Dream Is All We Have? home town” ha ha.

We will be previewing the video twice that night and after that we will be hitting every major/and indie market in Canada and the U.S. This is the first time I’ve ever done a Music Video with “What If This Dream Is All We Have?” and from what I’ve seen, I couldn’t be more thankful and excited. The director and friend Bryan Kowalsky has done an outstanding job and a thousand thank-yous go to him and everyone who has worked so hard to make this video possible. Please check out Bryans work: http://www.randomlyselecte..dpictures.com

The capacity at "The Freeway Coffee House" is 150 and I really feel like we can sell it out. So I'm printing 100 tickets and leaving 50 at the door. If those 100 tickets sell out before the date (which I feel they will) I will be printing the last 50. So I suggest messaging me for tickets...cause I would hate to not have you attend. SO MESSAGE ME FOR TICKETS!!

My boy Zach from "To Tell" and Kaila LeMaitre will be performing...making it an even stellar night. Please check them out.

I realize a lot of you receiving this don’t live in the GTA/Hamilton area (or even the province/country) but you are very important to me and I want to keep you updated. Once this Video drops, I will need everyone’s support to help get it played everywhere. “Feel The Bombs” will be the next single from my “Look Outside Your Window” album. The song and video will be released simultaneously in Canada & the U.S. This is it…this is a milestone for “What If This Dream Is All We Have?” And me personally, I can’t wait to share it with you.

Hey guys, its time to let the cat out of the bag.  On August 14/15 we will be shooting a MUSIC VIDEO for our song “FEEL THE BOMBS”!! 


“Feel The Bombs” will be our next radio single however- the video nor the single will drop until late September/early October so you will have to be patient…but everything is set in stone and we are 1000% set to go.


We will be shooting the epic with director Bryan Kowalasky of Randomly Selected Pictures.  Check out his most recent videos with our pals “MANIC DRIVE” & “AFTER THE ANTHEMS”. Really great stuff. http://www.randomlyselectedpictures.com/musicvids.html


Out of every song on the album, I wrote this song played out like a video.  It’s interesting because I wrote it while in ....Ypres.., ..Belgium.... as a flashback of what I envisioned seeing in front of me if I were there 100 years ago.  Seeing remnants of WW1 still in plain view and the aftermath of how horrible war really is, is the premise behind “Feel The Bombs”. Don’t worry- I promise to post photos of the shoot so you can be up to date with what’s going on and as the Video release date approaches I will let everyone know how they can help push it to MUCH MUSIC, T.V U, CTS, Vision T.V etc.  We are super excited and thankful to be able to do this. *USA- LOOK OUT!! Ha.

.. ..

Last night I was welcomed to TVCOGECO studio for the taping of “In A Song” with host John Serre. I played 2 songs- “Feel The Bombs” & “Take You Away” with my acoustic and we talked about the record.  The Episode is #7 and will air in September.  I will post air times as soon as I know.  It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for you guys to see it.

http://www.tvcogeco.com/portal/page/portal/burloak/shows


Currently we are booking for the fall- so if you want us to come play a show drop me a line and we can work it out.  Really excited to get back out to see you guys after we shoot the video for “FEEL THE BOMBS”


If you haven’t picked up the New record “Look Outside Your Window” now is the time to do it.  http://whatifthisdreamisallwehave.bigcartel.com/


Thank you to everyone that has been pushing “Never The Same” Feat. MANAFEST to their local radio stations.  The support from Radio in ..North America.. and Overseas has been incredible.  Please keep requesting it!!!!


I will have more updates soon.  Love you guys soo much.

Hey guys, I have some BIG news!!  The “MAD Christian Radio Show” (http://www.madradioshow.net) is sending “NEVER THE SAME” cross the U.S.A, Canada and overseas.  This weekend, the song will be debuting on the show which will then be broadcasted across the globe (see table at the end of e-mail for Stations & Times).
 
I appreciate everyone that has been e-mailing and calling into the Canadian Stations that have been spinning the single.  It really means more then you know…this song is such a personal song to me and I’m so grateful it’s being heard. Keep up the good work.  You guys are the BEST!!!
 
As for other news, we will be playing a Benefit show for Breast Cancer next Saturday June 27, 2009.  It’s the 2nd Annual Grand Valley, ON “Breast Fest”
Presented by Hero's with Heart & The Grand Valley Lions Club and we couldn’t be more stoked and honoured to be apart of it.  This is defiantly a cause to get behind.  We all know someone who has been affected by this horrible disease.  Check out all the details at: http://www.myspace.com/whatifthisdreamisallwehave.
 
I’m working on getting I-TUNES up right now (sorry it’s taken me forever) however; if you don’t have my new record “Look Outside Your Window” featuring the hit singles “THE ROAD” & “NEVER THE SAME” Feat. MANAFEST then you need to pick it up right now!  Goto: http://whatifthisdreamisallwehave.bigcartel.com/
 
Also Sunday night…or Monday morning I guess it is at 12:15am I will be calling into Faith FM 94.3 in Kitchener, ON and talking to “Sundown” host Greg McCallum about the new single and the new record.  So for you night hawks tune in live if you live in the area or check it out online here: http://www.faithfm.org/listen.shtml
 
Lots going on.  More updates soon.  Love you guys,

Hey OOOO!

What’s up guys?  Lots of stuff to share.  This Saturday my new single “NEVER THE SAME” feat. MANAFEST makes its Radio debut.  I will be playing a show in Ottawa Saturday night but before the show I will be hitting the studio and meeting up with my buddy Manic Mike from CHRI- 99.1 and we will be debuting the single on his show "Saturday Night Sound Fix" between  7pm-9pm.  So be sure to tune in LIVE and check it out.

Listen Live Here: http://www.chri.ca

The support from CHRI- 99.1 Ottawa has been incredible.  Not only are they the first to play the new single, but they have sent it across CANADA for me.  “NEVER THE SAME” has been sent to over 50 Stations in CANADA.  The song should make its way across CANADA within the next 2 weeks….so I’m going to need everyone on board to push it.  This is really exciting and I’m so thankful. 

If you haven’t heard the song yet- I will be posting it on MySpace this Saturday night….its the debut- so let’s do it all together ha :)

But if you haven’t picked up the new record “Look Outside Your Window” that includes my first single “THE ROAD” and now the 2nd single “NEVER THE SAME” Feat. MANAFEST now is the time to it.  Here is the link….now go get it!!!  http://whatifthisdreamisal..lwehave.bigcartel.com
