SCC Taking Your Requests

Steven Curtis Chapman is a people pleaser. He knows it... and admitting it is the first step... :-) He's also a man who walks not to fear men and with intentionality to please God but that's a different blog post. :-) 

In this case people pleasing is a great thing, he wants to play what you want to hear! We're bringing back request time for SCC. Head to StevenCurtisChapman.com and the tour page now! Just let us know your name, what show you're coming to, and which SCC song you want to hear. Each night will get a custom set, just for your city! based on your requests. Don't. Blow. This. :-) Grab your tickets for the A NIGHT WITH THE CHAPMANS Tour, hit Steven with your request, and he'll be playing your song!

Hi friends,

We're about to launch a new online community piece of StevenCurtisChapman.com  And before we launch it to the wider public, we'd like a few of our most loyal folks to hit the site and get it rolling.

This new piece allows you to connect with other people who love Steven, post to facebook and twitter as well as share youtube videos with all.... All from the SCC Community.  We hope you'll like it. Will you go test it out for me and see what you think? And get us started?

It's right here.  Get going now.  :-)

Secret Sneak Peak

Sneak Peak from SCC

"Meant To Be" in 5.1 surround

I'm told by producer Brent Milligan that the 5.1 surround mix of "Meant To Be" is complete and sounding amazing.  Brent approved the mix for Steven, who is in China and unable to review it in 5.1 himself. (this is also code for: If it's wrong, Jim didn't do it Steven)  :-)   Actually it's code for Steven Trusts Brent. :-)

"Meant To Be" is the closing credits song for Veggie Tales UITS A MEANINGFUL LIFE DVD release out OCT 2.

Tour, Tour, Tour

Doing so much work on the tour right now. Desk is covered with all the prep. It's coming together nicely though!  Some answers to your questions...

How do we submit questions for the Q+A and/or request a song? Shortly a new site will launch at StevenCurtisChapman.com, and shortly after that, each city will have a place to request the songs played that night. How gutsy and cool of Steven I think.  :-)

West Coast and other cities? Currently, only 11/19 and possibly 11/20 are the dates remaining to be filled. I'm sorry to say the Austin, TX date wound up not working out due to touring calendar conflicts in the area. Regarding a west coast, Texas, Tulsa, St Louis, other cities run... there is discussion of a 2011 run by Steven, but no confirmation and it likely would not be with Mary Beth or Caleb. But no definitive word here. And yes, the world is unfair and cruel west of the Mississippi River people, I'm sorry.  :-)

The No Q&A cities currently are... Sep 11, Oct 2, Oct 16, Oct 23, Nov 20. This is due to the routing of the tour with Women of Faith dates and what is physically possible. These dates are subject to adjust. No Q&A is subject to the promoter in each city's discretion.

Tour Questions

Receiving a lot of tour questions...  I usually keep quiet on these sorts of things because we just can't announce certain things, or just don't know certain things... until we actually announce them.  But though i fear it could end badly, here's my best attempt.

Is SCC coming to the west coast on this tour? Not in the fall of 2010 he's not.

Is their a spring of 2011 leg to the tour? Undetermined.

If there is a spring 2011 leg to the tour will it be the same line up? Probably not.

Why all the ambiguity Jim? I'm not trying to be clever, it's just that schedules and career and ministry goals and vision and timing conflicts, and family timing, these all have to come together. Among other things...  we're working on it though, so stay in touch.

Will there be additional dates added to Fall 2010 leg? Right now there are 4 or 5 cities we're finalizing details on. As soon as all the dates are up, we'll let you know, but almost all are there now and tickets are on sale in many markets now. Go get'em buy the way  (see that buy the way, :-)  yes, that just happened)

I've heard about a Q&A, what's the story there? With the exceptions of 3 SATs (and possibly others) where we're not able to due to schedule... In most cities, we are doing a Q&A prior to the concert as part of a VIP ticket package. Steven (and plan to also include Mary Beth in all as well) will take questions about 1 hour and 45 mins prior to the concert start time for about 30 to 40 mins.

I want to go to the meet & greet. How do I do it? There is no meet & greet on this tour. The Q&A is our replacement for the meet and greet. You could come to that with VIP ticket purchase. The Q&A gives the Chapmans a chance to engage with key folks and friends and while doing so allow all to hear each person's questions. (we'll get to as many as we can) The Q&A will also allow time for MBC to pick on SCC more.  :-)

Are there other reasons you are not doing a meet & greet? Very frankly... Yes, this also allows the Chapmans to connect in a way that allows them to guard their hearts just a bit on given days that might be hard for them. It gives them the chance to stay the most on balance with grief and the stories and questions they may receive revolving around their loss of Maria Chapman in May 2008. (it's still very difficult)

What's different between Women of Faith and the A NIGHT WITH THE CHAPMANS concert? Women of Faith is an incredibly powerful weekend of ministry for women. A full line-up of speakers and teaching and encouragement and challenge. It's an amazing privilege to be a part of for Steven and Mary Beth. The tour on the other hand, is for all ages and men and women, and includes a lot more from each of the Chapmans, more music and more Mary Beth sharing, as time allows for us to do so there. The tour also includes the band Caleb.

If I missed a question, hit me back with a comment on this thread? I'll do my best to respond.
