Hey Everyone,

I am writing to you from Toronto, Canada. I haven’t been able to get online too often, so this message is coming a little later than I would have liked.

After a few delays, the judges finally made their selection. I did not get the showcase in France, but I am proud to say that your votes worked. I stayed in the top 10 for the last two weeks of the competition, and finished at #9. When I first emailed you asking for help, I was sitting at #49. Your response and support in voting every day was so unexpected and encouraging. Thank you for helping me make it to the judges round. We accomplished everything we possibly could. (You can go “unlike” Midem now.) I will make it to France another time…

For those of you who didn’t receive a free download of my new live CD, please let me know and I’ll get it to you.

This will be my last post for the year. If you haven’t heard of Kelly Carlin’s podcast, check out her most recent episode. In the beginning she asks a series of questions to ponder this time of year. I’ve been asking them of myself, and I think you’ll enjoy them too. (Daryl’s interview is fantastic too.)

I hope you all have peace this holiday season, and a wonderful conclusion to 2011. I will see you in 2012.

Thank you so much,

Logan

Hello everyone,

I recently submitted to showcase at midem 2012 and I made it to the voting stage. If you want to help me take my music to France, you can vote for me once a day until December 7. The top 10 will be reviewed and 3 artists will be sent to showcase at midem in Cannes, France.

Here is the link:

Your votes have already moved me up from #50 into the top 10! Now I just need to stay there…

If you vote for me, comment on the Facebook event page or on the showcase page and I will send you an advance download of my upcoming E.P. “Live at Genghis Cohen Two.”

Thanks everyone. Can’t do it without you.

This is a blog that I meant to write already, but I didn’t.

I started to write it. On paper. With a pen.

Back in June, Kelly Carlin told me she would be using my music again on her New Dissident Radio show “Waking From The American Dream” when she had Taylor Negron on the program. On that episode, they tell the story of the day I met Kelly and her family in New York City back in the summer of 2008.

I wrote a lot down after listening to this last June, but I’m not going to post any of it yet.

I’m still kind of processing it all, three years later.

It was episode 25, from June 23, 2011:

And here’s the show’s page.

Taylor Negron and Logan Heftel at The Mint!
Monday March 28 at 8pm
6010 W. Pico Blvd 90035
All ages. $10. $15 if you’re under 21. $2 off with this flyer:

I’ve been looking forward to this.

Taylor and I have played many places in the last three years, but we’ve never played at the Mint together. Hollowbody LA’s Donovan Lyman has convinced me it will be our best show ever. Taylor and I have a lot of new material, and this show will be unlike anything we’ve done before.

The world is collapsing. Skies are melting. Singularity is coming.

You should be there.

The show is all ages! Get your tickets here:

Stay tuned this week for some pre-Mint magic.

I’m thrilled to be back at Comedy Central Stage as the musical guest tonight. Some sleep will occur before then.

Some of my favorite people are performing at this one, so make your reservations now. It may already be sold out.

On Sunday I’m playing at a free Family Fair that the Woodland Hills Chamber of Commerce is putting on:

It’s going to be really fun because the rain will have stopped by then! Right? Yes.

Been writing more since the contest ended. More videos are coming soon, because those are much more fun than blogs.

Hope you’re enjoying your election season.

A huge thank you to Kawika for getting this site up and going. The old site will not be missed. There will be much to add to these pages in the coming days.

The only thing I liked on the old site.
