BO'S PROFILE

Bio
With SEE THE LIGHT, the world is finally getting to see the real Bo Bice.

Don't worry; that wasn't an imposter who was named "American Idol's" Season 4 runner-up in 2005. But the Bo Bice people saw on the show and heard on the subsequent gold-certified album THE REAL THING was just a taste of the broad and deep spectrum of music the Alabama-born singer has a passionate drive to write and sing. On SEE THE LIGHT, the first release on Sugar Money/ StratArt Records label, he promises we are getting to hear "the genuine Bo."

"I'm grateful for THE REAL THING; that was a fun album. But that wasn't MY album," Bo explains. "This time it was just total freedom. We had no inhibitions about what this was going to be; we just went in and did whatever we wanted to. The freedom shines through."

SEE THE LIGHT is the kind of classic American album that's heard all too rarely in these days of careful calculation and tight formatting. Bo is the kind of artist who can't find enough musical roads to travel, and he demonstrates it on this broad-reaching 10-song set that spans the crunchy, Southern-fried rock of "This Train," "Got Money" and "Whiskey, Women & Time," the funky groove of "Witness," the swampy soul of "Take the Country Out of Me" and stark, emotional ballads such as "Only Words," "Sinner in a Sin" and "I'm Gone."

"I really feel like this is a diverse album," says Bo. "On a lot of the stuff some artists release, they just put different words to the same song. People get bored. And I think people are figuring that out; they're like, 'Wow, there's three good songs here, and the rest are the same song with different lyrics.'

"So on this album I felt, like, don't be afraid to deviate. Don't be afraid to play a little country. Don't be afraid to play something that makes people say, 'Why is this on this album?' Because in some twisted way, it fits. That's the main thing we've got going for us, just the diversity of ...

Please keep me in your prayers as I do for you...each & every day.

So glad Frank was able to meet you in Conyers & Suwanee & finally "see the light" about what I've been seeing in you for years now. Wish he could find it in his heart to "see the light" about this woman he vowed to love & honor 30 years ago on May 4th. I've loved him with my whole heart & soul but it just wasn't enough. He's forever had to have his drugs of choice & other women. Very sad! He is truly a "lost soul", who doesn't even believe in God, our almighty Creator.

Yesterday was my 62nd birthday. No, I'm not one of your "spring chicks" for sure but you've put a dance in my step & big smiles on my face every time I see you. The only real birthday gift I received yesterday was getting to see you in the American Idol audience...plus a "church famiy member" posted a pic of you on my Facebook page & said she wished it could be the real thing. I thanked her & told her that you were "The Real Thing".

I'm sure Cher's birthday....remember, I share my birthday with Cher...was far better than mine on May 20th. However, my Pastor's wife (young people about your same age) shared this with me. She said, "The big shadow" I see "over my life is merely the shadow of Jesus covering you from the front & back!" Wow! Profound! Every obstacle you've encountered, Bo, has been just that...Jesus covering you.

You're on the road to more fame & fortune but I hold onto this: Being rich is not determined by how much you have but by how little you need. I've lived in a 300 square foot metal storage building (converted in an efficiency apartment) for 6 1/2 years to hold down a better job. Bo, I'm stronger than I think. I suppose I could live under a bridge & make it...that is, of course, IF I'm blessed to see just one of your shows each year.

God is the head of my house, for how ever long I have it. You're my "Rock God"...at least that is what most of us peeps call you, including me. I love you & your beautiful family. Remember, if I had a son (don't have any children at all because of CA), I would have been proud to have had you to call my own.

Much love -

Alice

Bo, I was just looking at your profile picture. It made me wonder: why did they make you push that Charger? Did they want an "action shot?" Run out of gas? Breakdown? You don't look very happy about it. But, hey, that's the way you are...cooperative and helpful, 'eh? (snicker!)

Seriously, though, my brother had an identical charger that sat in our driveway for years while he "fixed it up" (his first car!) until it was towed away. Poor guy!

~Peace, Jaycee (aka Joan)

(LOVE the picture, but it made me giggle when I thought about it!)

A while back in a blog you said that you were not sure what being given a coin by a military person meant. I didn't know myself so I did some research.

Somebody else probably has told you but what I'm understanding is that coins are given for outstanding acts and to say that you are one of them...a member of the unit.

Pretty cool.

Peace,
Lisa

I think Bo is completely under-represented on Facebook, so I found an app to put scrolling text and the Witness video on my Profile permanently...on the left side & not just a post that goes away after a while. I had to put Bo in as an artist, but it was fairly easy and he's on there now. Can we get more peeps promoting Bo on their FB profiles? You can put scrolling song lyrics on, too. I had to get Witness on there first and foremost. Drop me a note if you need help! And no, I'm not affiliated with the "Lyrics Domain" application in any way whatsoever!
~ Peace! Jaycee
