So how about those New Year’s resolutions? By now you know whether or not you’re going to stick with that new diet or Bible reading program or budget. It’s not hard to say the words “I’m going to CHANGE!” It’s a completely different thing to actually do it, though.

I recently saw a clip from Mad TV with Bob Newhart. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out before you read any further.

So if you’re like most people, you probably sit and wonder “What can I do for Scott Riggan today?” It’s perfectly understandable. So – helpful friend that I am – I’m here to offer a solution to your dilemma… Here are some ways you can help a brotha out:

Do you use iTunes? Visit the iTunes store and give a 5-star rating to my CDs (especially the new one “Remember“). You can also leave a comment (something nice, perhaps?) to help persuade people to check out my tunes.

Follow me on Twitter - and suggest me to friends. There’s always “Follow Friday”, for example…

Are you on FaceBook? My music page is HERE - you can “like” it and “suggest to friends”.

So that’s a good start, I think… Seriously – thanks for all of your help, guys. I really do appreciate anything you do to help me get my music heard.

Grace, peace and good vibes,
Scott

On December 5^th, Jaime Thietten and I wrapped up a short Christmas tour with a special concert in Eagle, Idaho.

For only the next couple of weeks we’re making the live concert DVD available – in very limited quantities.

The show was a lot of fun, so please pick up your copy at the online store today (or click “Add to Cart” below)  – before they’re gone forever!

The other day I heard a radio program interviewing professional Santas. They talked about an organization called FORBS, which stands for the “Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas.” If you don’t believe me, check them out for yourself HERE.

The interviewer talked with a number of these Santa pros, many of whom expressed disdain for those “fake Santas” who don’t have real beards. Kind of interesting that these guys – who are pretending to be Santa – look down on those “posers” who wear fake beards … (continue reading…)

My band and I just wrapped up a short series of Christmas shows with my friend Jaime Thietten, and we had a blast! Thanks to all of you who came out – and for those of you who didn’t, it looks like we may have a way for you to check it out too.

The final show was at Eagle Christian Church in the Boise, Idaho area, and the recording and film work turned out great! So … we’re considering releasing a DVD of the show. This would be a very limited edition – only available for a few weeks. More news to follow …

This week I’ll be doing three Christmas shows in the Northwest with my friend Jaime Thietten. The shows are sponsored by 89.5 FM KTSY and 88.1 FM KTFY. Here’s the full scoop:

1) Thurs, Dec 2 – Baker City, OR (www.bakercitychristian.org) at 6:30 pm
2) Friday, Dec 3 – Twin Falls, ID (www.tfrc.org) at 6:30 pm
3) Sunday, Dec 5 – Eagle, ID (www.eaglechristianchurch.com) at 6:30 pm

If you’re in the neighborhood, I hope you’ll join us for an evening of good family fun, humor, and Christmas songs.

For those of you in the United States, I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! (And for the rest of you, I hope you have a great day too.) One of the things I’m thankful for is that I’m about to consume a generous portion of some very tasty comfort food. Actually, I was going to post an “I’m thankful for…” list, but I decided that you have better things to do than learn how much I appreciate Twisted Cheetos and Toy Story 3, etc.

Since, as of this weekend, it’s now legal to play Christmas music in most of North America, I think I’ll suggest that you take a look at the “Bundles” section of my store; specifically, the “Bethlehem 3-CD Bundle” – three Christmas CDs for $20. If you order soon, you’ll get it in time to enjoy the music throughout the season – plus you’ll have 2 copies to share!

See how helpful I am? Aren’t you thankful?

The deadline is looming! Wed, Nov 24 is the LAST DAY to PRE-ORDER “Remember: The Scott Riggan Collection.” That’s the last opportunity to get the FREE DVD “Live In The Studio” (which is an exclusive gift with pre-orders).
