| I was just doing some shows with Billy Ray Cyrus in March while Rodney Atkins was in the studio working on his new CD. It was a blast seeing everybody again. I want to thank all of Billy's fans who came and said hello to me. I will be doing more dates with him this year. It was also great seeing all the guys in the band and the crew. I look forward to being back out with Billy and also meeting all of you. Make sure you come and say hello. |

Hello Folks,
Preacher Jack has been nominated for "Best Roots Act" in the 2008 Boston Phoenix Music Poll!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess the good folks at the Phoenix were duly impressed with his Cow Island Music debut "Picture’s From Life’s Other Side" and consider the Boston Boogie Woogie Piano Man a worthy candidate.
He goes up against some HEAVY hitters; Duke Levine, Session Americana, Lori McKenna, Sarah Borges!!!
These folks are some of Boston's finest!!!
We need YOUR help - IF you feel so inclined we NEED for you to take (less than 5 minutes), follow the link provided, and vote for Jack.
Pls tell a friend....
The performers he is going up against are monsters in the Boston scene and will surely have their fans voting so pls vote for Jack.
Thank you!!

Howdy Friends,
The time has come; Preacher Jack's long awaited Cow Island Music debut is ready to roll!
Jack and friends will be celebrating this new release, Pictures From Life's Other Side, at a CD release party at the Plough & Stars in Cambridge this Saturday night, November 17th at 10:00 pm. Joining Jack will be Cow Island label mates Nate Gibson and the Gashouse Gang.
Jack's new CD includes all previously unreleased recordings that feature Jack and his piano pumping out some of the most passionate performances ever recorded of these country, gospel and rockabilly favorites. Jack recorded these tracks at two different sessions, the first in November of 1982 at the home studio of ace electronics wizard Mr. Richard Burwen and the second on, what would have been Hank Williams' 73rd birthday, September 17, 1996. Jack really lays it on the line on these recordings.
So come on out and celebrate the genius of a true original of American Music, the man who has put his heart and soul into entertaining us for the past forty years, the "Boston Boogie Woogie Piano Man", John Lincoln Coughlin aka Preacher Jack.
You can hear some songs from Pictures From Life's Other Side at the Cow Island myspace page. CD's will be available for purchase at the show and at CD Baby within the next two weeks. Also, check out the Cow Island Website. | |

Hope to see you Saturday night!

Hello Folks,
In anticipation of Preacher Jacks long awaited release "Pictures From Life's Other Side" on Cow Island Music (www.myspace.com/cowislandmusic) I thought I'd send along this YouTube clip of vintage Preacher Jack - circa 1983 this was filmed at Sandy's Jazz and Blues Revival in Beverly MA by (George) Ferrini Productions and features Rockin George Leh on vocals and a young Jerry "The Rev" Parquette on guitar - (for those that have seen it - my apologies - for all else a splendid time is guaranteed) - enjoy:

| Preacher Jack Three Ring Circus Fri Nov 16 4-5:30 WMBR 88.1 |
Boston's 'Killer of the Keyboard' Preacher Jack joins WMBR's 3RC Friday Nov. 16th at 5pm.
Preacher Jack is a Boston institution. If you've ever seen him perform you know the truth I speak. Fire, brimstone and that killer boogie woogie piano playing. He's attracted music notables over the years who have dropped by one of his many musical sermons, including Susan Tedeschi, Gary Cherone (Extreme), Dale Hawkins (Suzi Q), and Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo). Jack is releasing a new CD on Cow Island on Nov. 15th and will preview tracks, live, on 3 Ring Circus on the 16th... in between recitations and proclamations. Praise be!
Preacher Jack celebrates a CD release at the Plough & Stars w/ Nate Gibson & the Gashouse Gang November 17th
Three Ring Circus (3RC), hosted by Joan Hathaway, airs every Friday 4:00-5:30 p.m. on 88.1 fm, WMBR, Cambridge. The show traverses multiple genres with an emphasis on new music, upcoming area shows and oftentimes features a live performance highlighting Boston's wealth of talent, either locally or those that visit. www.wmbr.org/circus

It's official Folks, we're going forward with the Preacher Jack Record Release party on Sat Nov 17th at the Plough and Stars!!!!
We are sharing the bill with the Twilight Ranchers - Jack will probably go on first which will give him time to wind down after the set and talk to people.

Hello Folks,
Just a reminder that a full length CD of all previously unheard Preacher Jack material will be released soon under the Cow Island Music label.
We are in the final stages of development and are working furiously for a November release.
A "Record Release" party will be held - tentatively scheduled for mid November - possibly at the Plough and Star - stay tuned for confirmation.
CDs will be available at the Release Party as well as on all your favorite on-line Record purchasing points and (hopefully) at a good old fashioned Record store in your neighborhood.
Pls forward this e-mail to any interested parties - Jack thanks you VERY much for your support.

| I just want to let everyone know that I'm still out with Rodney Atkins. www.rodneyatkins.com I want to congratulate him for receiving the best new male vocal award at the ACM's last week. I also want to congratulate Little Big Town www.littlebigtown.com for their award for the best new vocal group. I've gotten to know everyone in the group including the crew and they are the nicest folks. If you have never seen Little Big Town you're missing a great show. Their vocals and harmonies are superb. Martina McBride www.martinamcbride.com is headlining the tour and I can't believe how wonderful her vocals are. She amazes me everytime I hear her perform. Her vocals are so strong and powerful. The whole tour is going great and everybody in all the camps are so wonderful. |
