Josh and family receiving the Raise 27 checkRaise 27 was a success as Grobanites all over the world raised $43 327 for charity for Josh’s 27th birthday. Josh and his mum, Lindy Groban each send the fans a message.
Here’s a peek at the cover of the new single Awake from Josh’s upcoming CD/DVD Awake Live. Josh and co. have finally heard the fans’ call to release Awake as a single. As you know, the title song of his coming-of-age album Awake is only available on the special edition of the album. With the release the song as a single, this stunning song will gain more exposure on radios!
If you’re an FOJG member, tune in to FOJG early next week to hear a full stream of the song!
As Josh as just turned 27, I’m really amazed how far he’s come since he first rehearsed The Prayer with Celine Dion in 1999. He has released 4 studio albums, 2 concert albums (the next one to come soon!) and sold the top selling album of 2007. Today’s web roundups brings you a Blast from the Past.
As some of you may have heard, Josh’s South Africa tour has been postponed. It was due to start on 16 March in Durban, but the tour promoter, Duncan Heafield of Kusasa, failed to fulfil his obligations. But wait! Josh will be back in South Africa! Here’s the word from the man himself. (Note: I’ve taken the liberty of paragraphing the message. Hint hint, Josh.)
Josh writes:
Hey Guys and Gals I wanted to post here personally and just say how upset and frustrated I am that things have gone down the way they have in South Africa. As I said in my press statement, its a place in the world that I hold dear to my heart and nothing could have excited me more than the idea of visiting again.
I was looking forward to bringing my favorite show ever to the fans but also looking forward to seeing first hand the incredible charity work that, through your help, we have done in that part of the world. Also as you all know, we’re really looking and hoping for a rescheduled trip very soon because this trip, like every other, was about one thing…YOU.

My project? Help Josh to have more fans in Quebec especially in Montreal
How? Convince a TV channel called Musiqueplus (located in Montreal) to ask him to come and do a full show with live music and interview on a special show like Plus sur Commande.
