Greetings, I want to thank everyone for subscribing, following & sharing. We're now enjoying our growth on Spotify as well as, many of the other music outlets. Prior to 2023 we were virtually unknown. Today we are broadcasted on radio daily on a few stations that I know of. Some FM/AM and internet is all I know about. But I am grateful to see daily listeners on several platforms. I see this as a responsibility to continue in the pursuit of excellence in professionalism as we go forward. There is a rumor going around that Brian May (guitarist - Queen) has said that Jeff Schmidt Band is popular in the UK and that they play us in the pubs. That would be interesting. I'll look into it out of curiosity. I only know that Chartmetric, an industry tracking company, show's us as having the UK for our largest audience. We are still working on the Astonished Doctrine album. Hoping to release in the Spring of 2025. We're also making preparations for the Objective Nashville 25. The objective and the Extreme Tour come from these people. Last year only I went and met with people from the Christian music industry, artist and other music professionals. We were also invited to perform when the Extreme Tour came through Kingman, AZ. We're looking to showcase next year in Nashville. What is amazing to me is how just a little bit of paid promotions brought us this far! None of these promotions were large nor moderate. Just the basic experimental or beginner's package. I paid $300.00 - $400.00 on radio promotions at the beginning of 2023. We're still being played on some of those stations. Some stations just start playing us out of the blue! I believe that perhaps many of you have told someone about us. I think we're being discovered by people in general around the world. And the rate of growth appears to increase. This music is to glorify God. And it will always be that. I want to influence people in doing good, yes. I want to encourage the believer, yes. I want to tell everyone literally about Jesus., yes. Wouldn't that be something? To be able to tell the whole world about Jesus? It sounds like a lot of fun to me! God bless all of your family & friends, Sincerely, Jeff Schmidt Band
