We are also very pleased about the release of the Official YouTube Video for “My Name Is America!”  Here is the official link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TPgJSZf5Vw  It has has 5600+ views in it’s first week and we think that’s pretty awesome because they are all REAL views by real people and not bought by a company just to run up the number.  (We found out people pay to get more views on their videos. That’s fine for them, but we want real people so we can spread the wonderful message!)  So we thank ALL of you for forwarding the video in emails, sharing it on Face Book and any other way you have shared it!  It is very helpful and we ask that you continue to share it and get this positive message to spread and “Go Viral” like all these other crazy videos out there do!  We have had many ask about purchasing a copy of the video.  We were not sure if we were going to have the demand for that or not, but now we hope to put together a DVD copy that you can purchase.  We will keep you updated on that effort.  It will be a few weeks to get those done.  Will make them available on www.MyNameIsAmerica.us like the CD’s.  Speaking of www.MyNameIsAmerica.us, that is another easy way to tell friends where to go to find the video, and also hear the song or purchase a copy if they want!  The video is now right there on the front page.  There are also links there to download the song straight to your phone or Ipod through ITunes and Amazon.  Oh and one more thing- you can get the Ringtone there!  How cool is that?  All that in one great web site.

Again we thank you and ask you
to send this to as many friends as you can to help spread this powerful message.
God Bless,
Todd Allen Herendeen

THE OFFICIAL VIDEO- Turn it Up and Enjoy!

Setting up in Jacksonville at the omni

We have had a busy week and a half to say the least! Starting in Jacksonville, Fl we were asked to be a part of a Florida Freedom Rally

because of our song “My Name is America.” Below we have pictures of that and the rest of our tour.

From Jacksonville on the 19th we headed to Southern Pines in Frostproof, FL  for a super fun show!  Thanks

Avon Park Lakes Baptist Church

for a packed house there!

The following Night, Saturday, we did a show in Avon Park, FL. Another great time and full house. Thank you

to my parents for their wonderful hospitality while we were in town. We even ended up doing our show Sunday at their church. We thoroughly enjoyed that. It’s a blessing to perform in the Lord’s house.

Monday morning we headed to The Villages in Florida. We were asked to sing “My Name is America” at an event where presidential hopeful Rick Santorum was speaking. We got to meet and speak with Mr. Santorum for the third time. He actually did remember Todd before he even reminded him!  He explained to him the story behind “My Name is America” (if the statue of Liberty could speak, she may say this) and gave him a copy of it.  He seems a very nice man.  We would also like to thank Pam Dahl and the Tri county Tea Party for hosting the event and giving voters a chance to hear from ALL of the candidates running, so people can make educated voting decisions.

Speaking with Rick Santorum

Todd and Mr. Ron McNeil who is running for U.S. Senate

We also performed again that evening at an event where Ron McNeil, who is running for U.S. senate, spoke. Tuesday evening we did a show at the Sea Breeze Center in The Villages. Afterwards Mr.  McNeil spoke to educate voters once again on what we the people must do to help better America. Thank you to him and his campaign team for including us in the evening.  Todd does not normally voice his political views but he would like to say that he is supporting Mr. Ron McNeil for U.S. Senate.  We hope you will  research Mr. McNeil and make an educated decision on whether or not to vote for him.

By Thursday we were back in Jacksonville for the Republican debate.  Early in the day Todd met Mr. and Mrs. Gingrich and got a chance to have a conversation with them and tell them about “My Name is America.”   Todd asked Mrs. Gingrich how they were feeling after being on the campaign trail and travelling so much, and she said they were still doing well.  Todd commented on how well they looked and she said they have a lot of people to help them stay looking good!  He told her that we have been traveling a lot too and wish we had all the helpers too, and shared a laugh. She then said they had a CD player on their bus and would listen to the song.  Below you can see a couple of pictures.  We jokingly call one the “Newt finally gets to meet Todd Allen Herendeen” photo.  Hahaha!  It is a really neat shot of how all the media was gathered around.

The picture we jokingly titled "Newt finally meets Todd Allen Herendeen"

Friday we headed to Apalachicola, FL for shows Friday Night, Saturday night, and Sunday Afternoon.  We had two SOLD OUT (really over sold, standing room only) shows on Friday and Saturday and Sunday was a full house!  Thank you fans so very much!  Also a huge thank you to Dixie and Jerry and all the staff at the theatre for making it so much fun to come back each time.  It is great to see these sell out shows happening.  We had sell outs for our Christmas shows at The Breakers in Panama City Beach and another sell out in Hawkinsville, GA earlier this month.

Todd and Mitt Romeny

Saturday afternoon Mitt Romney visited Panama City and Todd was invited to come and be a part of that.  He got to meet Mr. Romney and also got him to sign a copy of “My Name is America”  He spoke with him about the song and gave him a copy also.  We hope any or all of the candidates can and will use the song to help bring pride back to America.  There are several great photos below of their meeting.  We also want to thank Florida Representative Jimmy Patronis for all he does for our community.  We had the privilege to see him at the event also.

We have always said this song, is not for one particular party or people, but for all Americans and that is true.  With this year being an election year in America, the song has gained attention from these candidates and we find that a very good thing, as it helps the song get bigger national exposure!  We think our song has a great message and that America is still the greatest country on earth. We feel it is not wrong to be patriotic and love this country that is still the land of the free and, thank God, the Home of the Brave!

This week has also seen a lot of national press about “My Name is America” hitting the Number One Spot on the Indie Country Chart.  Thank you to Tifton, GA, Panama City, FL and Kendallville, IN for your wonderful articles.

Staff Reports

Monday, January 30, 2012, 10:50am

ROME CITY — Well-known singer, songwriter and entertainer Todd Allen Herendeen, a Noble County native, has the No. 1 song on the Indie World Country Chart. His first world radio release, “My Name is America,” on the Straight Arrow label, is now the No. 1 independent country song in the United States. On Jan. 6 the song was No. 31 on the New Music Weekly chart and No. 21 on the New Music Weekly Indie Chart. The song — with a patriotic anthem written by Kurt Orning — is also receiving interest from radio stations around the world. This summer Herendeen will perform for the 11th season at Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City Beach, Fla., and at the Holiday Inn, also in Panama City Beach. He currently is touring Florida with his band. He signed a contract with Straight Arrow Records in 2011. Herendeen is a frequent performer in northeast Indiana, returning to area venues where he got his start as an entertainer. He often performs for benefits and fundraisers. Last September Herendeen performed in a benefit for his brother Scott Herendeen at the American Legion in Rome City. His brother suffered brain damage when his heart unexpectedly stopped. “When approached to record this song, I was so moved by the power of songwriter Kurt Orning’s words, I immediately agreed to be part of the production,” stated Herendeen on the mynameisamerica.us website. To download the song and learn more about it, visit www.mynameisamerica.us.

“My Name is America” is currently charting on several others charts.

We hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!  It’s not about gifts, but love.

Our song, “My Name is America” has held at number 3 for the second week!  The top three spots of the Indie World Country Chart actually stayed the same, so we still have a great chance to move up!  Charting will not take place this week because of Christmas.  We have also broken onto some of the “major” charts, meaning the song is competing with “major label artists.”  How exciting is that?!  We are getting more and more bigger, commercial stations playing the song.  We do still have some other exciting things that could happen with the song also!  Keep us in your prayers.

We had two SOLD OUT performances at The Breakers Dinner/Showroom for Christmas!  Thank you fans!  We have one more Christmas show there this Friday Dec 23 and it is already close to full.  You can still make reservations at  850-234-6060.

We want to take a moment to thank All three of these incredible venues, Gulf World Marine Park, Holiday Inn Resort and The Breakers, for hiring our show.  We cannot express what it means to us for them to think enough of us to make us a part of their fabulous venues.  It is such a blessing to have the work.

Speaking of “My Name is America,”  you have been asking, here it is: we now have a “My Name is America” Ring Tone available for your cell phones!  If you visit www.mynameisamerica.us you can find it at the bottom of the Home Page!  It is free as a thank you to all of you who support this wonderful song and it’s message and as a thank you to our military!

We just recently had a road trip to Indiana and Ohio for a few shows.  Boy was it cold!  Our bodies have changed since we have lived in Florida and we don’t do cold very well, haha!  We did get to see a little bit of snow, which is kind of nice around Christmas time.  We went up for a corporate event in Ohio so I booked a couple of our old home town clubs so we could see our friends and family.  We had a show in Rome City, IN at my home American Legion, which you can see pictured below.  We certainly did have a fun relaxed night there!  Saturday night we headed up to Angola, IN to Club Paradise, also pictured below, for a fun night.  It was great to see so many friends come out from different states even, just to see us!  We appreciate you all and had a fantastic time seeing everyone at both shows!

We had a free day in between, so we took in the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Car Museumin Auburn, IN.  It is a pretty famous place in it’s own right.  Here is a bit about it taken from it’s web site: “ The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, a National Historic Landmark, has welcomed nearly two million visitors from all 50 states and from over 40 countries since the museum opened its doors at Noon on Saturday, July 6, 1974. It inhabits the former Auburn Automobile Company’s national headquarters building, a place where history was made over 75 years ago! Many of the Auburn and Cord automobiles you see driving around Auburn each Labor Day weekend were designed and developed in this very building.

MSNBC News named the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum one of the “Top Ten Gearhead Destinations in the United States.”  It is easy for visitors to see why the museum has received such high national praise. This automotive mecca exhibits over 120 cars ranging from 1894 to 1999 and automotive displays on three floors. The museum has the greatest and most extensive collection of Auburn, Cord, and Duesenberg automobiles in the world, and features the largest exhibit of Duesenberg automobiles on public display in the world! This is a destination that you and your family can not miss!” -automobilemuseum.org

We want to thank Sharon and the museum staff for our wonderful Tour of this amazing museum!  Below you can see just a few of the amazing automobiles on display!  We hope you enjoy…

Tuesday we have a show in Ohio.  We will do another blog post later this week.
