Mike Vavrek, Singer/Songwriter, Johnstown, Pa -- Greetings dear friends!
"Buttons & Threads" has been out for almost a month now on iTunes, Amazon & various outlets and the feedback has been wonderful! I want to thank you all for this!
The commercial is now made to help in promoting the album which will feature the song "Down Here" in the background. Why "Down Here" you may ask? This was chosen by your input, which I'm honored to have.
The commercial is done, all I ask is please help me in placing the links anywhere you can! I'll be uploading it to my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/mikevavrek76) by Tuesday; or, you can type "Buttons & Threads" into the search engine and pull it up. Also, I'll be answering questions, talking about songs(new&old) and thinking out loud on YouTube.
Speaking of background, I'll be carrying with me fabric tiles for a backdrop. This is a jewel of the stage! All the names of fans/friends helping with spreading threads, free when you purchase any merchandise, or share $1 for the cause.
As the mailing list grows, I'd like to welcome new names, as well as encourage your help with spreading the thread! Reflections Studios is almost up and running(now equipped with ProTools) and the collaborations will begin for Reflections Foundation LLC!!! Stay tuned, much more news to follow (I'm biting my tongue.. )!
April will be showered with wonderful things, and a new winner announced for something FREE! Refer 5 folks to the mailing list and you automatically get a FREE download card(=1album)+ tile! (::)PEACE(::)
Side note: pleased to announce "Another Way" has been selected for a nomination in the LA Music Awards taking place this coming November! Got some great feedback and insight on a few tracks, which inspired more writing!!
News bits: recently completed a few interviews that I'll be sharing with you, and will be a part of a radio broadcast next month as a guest speaker for the IDMYGD weekly segment airing Monday nights between 7-8(EST) {link to online/terrestrial channel coming closer to the airtime date}.
This journey depends (a great deal!) on you; and, is my view that it should include you as well. So, as we go forward, more collaborations are on tap either musically, lyrically or both. I am a man of my word.
I take real joy in having you along for the ride insofar as bringing you along- this has been my dream come true, but means little without you.
Stay close my friends, we are only getting started! Help spread the thread!
(::)PEACE(::)

Timberlake to Help Drive Marketing and Brand Direction for Callaway and its 2012 Product Line
CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec. 15, 2011 -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the establishment of an advanced, creative position for multiple Emmy and Grammy Award-winning actor, musician and avid golfer Justin Timberlake. A Callaway Staff Professional since 2008, Timberlake will lend his versatile talents as a Creative Director for the Callaway portfolio of Brands. Timberlake will engage in the development and execution of high-level concepts within Callaway's marketing activities and offer wide-ranging consultation on the visual representation of the Brand. The multi-year agreement was announced by Jeff Colton, Sr. Vice President of Global Brand and Product, Callaway Golf.
"We have worked with Justin for more than three years now and have been thoroughly impressed with the level of quality he brings to everything he is involved with," said Colton. "Justin is an extremely gifted artist and an avid golfer with a deep passion for Callaway products, and his creative energy will serve us well as we connect with the next generation of golfers. The opportunity to bring someone with his multifaceted talents into our creative matrix is very rare, and his input has already made an impact."
Timberlake's initial work as a Creative Director for Callaway will support the Company's 2012 RAZR line of premium golf equipment, including the recently introduced RAZR Fit™ Driver . Callaway's 2012 product line will be launched in the first quarter of next year via the Company's upcoming "Epic Demo" campaign being shot this week in Las Vegas across several iconic city landmarks, including the Bellagio Fountain. Timberlake's contributions to Callaway's Epic Demo campaign, which features Callaway staff professionals Phil Mickelson and Alvaro Quiros, includes collaboration with the creative teams and Director Joseph Kahn.
"It's always great when professional projects surround subjects that I am passionate about, and the sport of golf and my work with Callaway definitely fit that criteria," said Timberlake. "I'm looking forward to bringing a fresh perspective to this category -- focusing on the social aspects, fun and lifestyle associated with Callaway and playing golf."
In 2008, Timberlake became the first non-tour player to join Callaway's team of Staff Professionals that includes Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Alvaro Quiros and icons such as Arnold Palmer. Earlier this year, he participated in a Father's Day-inspired social media contest that awarded equipment via Callaway's Facebook page.
