2/12/2010: UPDATE FROM BRIAN
Hello everybody!
I'm feeling really good and I am so happy that I took this step in my life. It was way over due. They keep me very busy here at Hazelden with counseling and classes. It is very productive for my life.
My passions and emotions are all coming back to me and I'm excited to see you all again. Thanks for all the warm wishes and lovely thoughts. Miss you all and see you real soon!
Brian

November, 2009:
Hey, all,
It’s been a while since I’ve written down and shared what’s going on with gb leighton. I’m here to tell ya: It’s all good – I’ve been cancer free for a year now and feeling great! Thanks to all of you who have supported me throughout this ordeal. I can’t say enough about the love I’ve felt!
gbl has been moving forward constantly: Writing new songs, recording, etc. We are working on a new album, and possibly a children’s album as well. We’ll keep you posted.
Recently, we moved away from our management company, MTM, and our booking agent, Paradigm. In other words… we’ve kind of brought it all home.
We have a new booking agent whose company is called Hello! Booking and we are looking forward to all the connections they will bring us in the Midwest. We want to grow throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota and try to build in those states what we have here. It’s always positive for us when we see MN faces on the road so please think about a road trip with gb sometime.
We also have planned another Mexico trip, this time to Puerto Vallarta. We’ve never been there as a band, so this would be a great trip for all of us to get to know another city in Mexico.
Anyway enough rambling, I’ll try and keep this new website up to date with my thoughts and feelings and always look forward to your feedback.
Peace, love,
Brian Leighton
