Two Steps Forward

Bill Said... A Hiring Tribute
Well there you have it... My new favorite line...
Jimeni has hired an official Manager. We have been pushing the band in the right direction, but now it's time for a whole new level. "It takes someone with Connections and Experience to do this sort of thing" Corrie states. "The fact remains is that we just don't have the high enough connections to see this farther than we have brought it." We look forward to working with Bill Mael.
As an Actor, Musician and Artist; Bill Mael won many a Talent Search and has headed off his Daughter in her Hollywood Career. His devotion to Jimeni is simple. He Loves the Music and Knows just what to do to help us get the recognition we deserve. In processes that are beyond the "little people", Bill will utilize the tangables and media items Jimeni has created and collected to further their musical endeavors. "Its only a matter of time at this point, time, a little bit of creativity and passion in the right direction"
We as Jimeni are building the steps as we go... Bill will make sure they are built strong.
We haven't handed over the entire slate... Jimeni will work very closely with Bill Mael. Corrie Vallance has been the Liason for the band since its founding in 2005. The band has accomplished a great deal of workings and performed on many stages. She manages the product, website, media, and schedules. She is the songwriter as well of the songs Jimeni Presents... The connection between all of this and still being Lead singer has proven a bit much for her though; "one cannot be to involved with both sides of success... at some point a path must be laid before you so you can focus on the reason you started the journey in the first place...", Corrie says laughing.
We are moving cautiously through each step and taking into consideration every detail. The moment of truth is still far ahead, but keeping our eyes on the end of the tunnel is the only way to travel in the dark. We look forward to every turn. It will be a fun Journey.
So, from Jimeni to Bill Mael, Welcome and Thank you for your so far, sincere and honest approach to helping us reach our goals! We appreciate your enthusiasms and will do whatever we can to not let you down!
~a journey must begin at the beginning because if you do not have a beginning, you cannot have an end.~Corrie
Here's to going to the top! Bill Said...

THE JIMENI BAND
Salutations Everyone!
Here are Your Jimeni Updates!
As most of you know, Jimeni has changed their line-up. BIO’s Recently, we lost our Drummer, Russell… We were fortunate enough to have a Drummer waiting on the sidelines to get into the band! Garrett Holloway has stepped in with a vengeance! He is completely ready to Rock and adds a Full Beat with Perfect Rhythm to Jimeni’s Original Songs. We are enjoying recomposing our already written songs to meet the edginess that he provides as a drummer… There has even been talk of the members co-writing some new songs!
Corrie has been continually writing new songs as well… (Titles include: Raincoat, Contradiction, Everybody’s Talkin, Black Sheep, and Blue Fingers. Blue Fingers is Now Performed LIVE and is available by Video on YouTube.com). With the recent wind of creativity that blew through a few weeks ago, seems we almost have a full collection for a new CD! (Listen to our First, Acoustic Duet, in Studio Live Recording Here… “not so simple… Part 1”) We will begin recording in Winter 2010 and Release in Spring 2011 with Secret Enterprise Productions of Grass Valley, CA. There will be nothing like it, we assure you. The band’s underway with new sounds, themes and a core of Soul Rock that will hardly be mistaken. It seems to be, when you join two highly Creative, Talented and Different generations with the same goal; you all end up on the same page! Ready to Rock!

THE JIMENI BAND
Jimeni went out to Iowa Hill this last weekend... What a Great Time! Certainly placed in the middle of nowhere... this bunch was ready to Rock n Roll!
Turned out a Great crowd, most of who knew Jimeni from our musical ventures in Colfax, a nearby historical town... we were very happy to be there and Rocked into the evening with folks Dancing, Four Wheel Drivin and Shootin Moonshine!The Fundraiser did well as well! Raised funds for the Iowa Hill Firehouse with a Pig Roast Supper... MMM MMM Good it was! With a Bunch of Good ole' Boys, Gitty up Gals and Great Live Music, this scene was hopping with wonderful energy! We look forward to being invited next year!
See our Photo's for some great pics... and check out this video!
IOWA HILL FIREHOUSE FUNDRAISER & PIG ROAST!

So, hopefully we will see ya there! Till next time...
Keep your toes a tappin and your soul in the music!

WHAT BETTER TIME THAN NOW TO SUPPORT A GOOD CAUSE!
We are Sponsoring this Event to Donate to a Local Charity- Relay for Life Team Ta Ta's... An American Cancer Society Organization!!! Yes, It's a Rock Concert... But Let us not forget why we instigated the event.
Colfax is a HIGHLY Giving Community. It's Businesses, Residents and Local Charities all stand in unison when it comes to a good Cause. Totally wanting to set themselves apart from the regular norm of society, it focuses on Youth, Charity and Community Support and Growth. When this event was introduced to the Community, every business owner and Political Official stood behind it. Now, we are finding that folks want to get involved but not invest. Selling Tickets is coming to be harder than we thought!

Thank you!
Wake up little Moody...
Learn and grow from all decisions... It can only press me forward into a more aggressive stance in standing up for what I believe in. Things take time... and I know folks will either learn to dig us for what we offer or they won't... But just because I sound like Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Janis Joplin or whoever else... doesn't mean I am here to revive them and make you think you are way back in the past at one of there concerts! Check it! I am Corrie Vallance, a Great Singer and Songwriter who is trying to make Her way... Not recreate a past of another's success.
Take me or Leave me, just don't try and Mold me.
