"On The Rebound - Jim McGorman Newsletter"
Issue #11
September 2nd, 2007

Hello Jim McGorman Fans!
Welcome to our eleventh edition of "On The Rebound" - Jim McGorman Resource Website Newsletter!

The month of August was another busy one for Jim including concert appearances in Grande Prairie, Texas all part of the 106.1 FM KISS Party, then it was onto Asia for a number of television appearances and concerts. End of the month Jim performed on the Teen Choice Awards. In this issue we'll get you caught up on everything, plus ALOT more!


Update from Jim on a recent collaboration!
I co-wrote a song with a cool, talented new artist on myspace records (the first artist signed there, actually). Her name is Kate Voegele. The song is called "It's Only Life" and it looks like her management is pushing the song to a bunch of TV shows and indie movies - so look out for that (and please let me know if you hear it). It may even be one of her singles. It is her most popular download on iTunes by far.

Thought you might want to check it out! The bridge of the song is very me (my favorite part). I hope you dig it.

Thanks
Jim

So...Check out the song on Kate's MySpace (it's really good!) and let's keep Jim posted! Here is the iTunes link.

More blast from the past - Jim collaborated with Matt Nathanson!
Jim collaborated with Matt Nathanson in early 2006 on his album "Some Mad Hope." Both photos were taken in the House of Blues recording studio, in Encino, CA during Feb 2006. The caption on the photos below (as written by Matt) is: "jim mcgorman- he played keys and guitars on the first 2 recording sessions. he is also responsible for the sexy background vocals on "car crash." The second photo (as above) has a funny caption as well (sorry Jim!) "jim assuming the "taking a leak" stance, while overdubbing an organ part on 'sooner surrender'... " You can hear "Car Crash" (and Jim's sexy backing vocals) on Matt's MySpace.
