The Wilkinson's will be
starting to work on their next album towards the
end of October and hope to have a single out
around Feb 1st, 2000! Can't wait for that!
For those of you that missed
it, the Wilkinson's were recently on the Grand
Ole Opry (it wasn't televised, but you could
listen to it on Opry.com) singing "26
Cents" and a Mack MacAnnally song, called
"Back Where I Come From". They also
chatted with their fans on Yahoo (transcript from
that chat is included farther down). Great job
guys :0)
The Wilkinson's have moved into
a new house, along with some new pets. Amanda
recently purchased 2 horses at a yard sale
(Cricket and Penelope). They also have a dog,
Jack.
The Wilkinson's completely took
over the CCMA's taking home all 4 of the awards
they were up for (They captured Single of the
Year for "Jimmy's Got A Girlfriend, Album of
the Year for "Here and Now", Group of
the Year and the Fan's Choice for Entertainer of
the Year). Not only that but they opened the show
with "Jimmy's Got a Girlfriend" and
even did a little ditty introducing the nominees
for Male artist of the year. Way to go
Wilkinson's! You totally deserve it :-)
*Tour Dates*
As we speak the Wilkinson's are
in the Caymans. They will be doing an acoustic
performance for 30-50 people tonite and are also
involved in the ceremony to set and dedicate a
9-foot mermaid down in the water with Jean Michel
Cousteau. Sounds like fun :0) For those of you
there, we hope you and The Wilkinson's are having
a blast!

The Wilkinsons
hosted by Joanne Spataro Join TeenVoices &
other family groups
The Wilkinsons' new hit single,
"Jimmy's Got a Girlfriend," will make
you smile until the very last note. The rest of
their new album isa winner, filled with a truck
load of catchy tunes that everyone will enjoy.
Here and Now, their sophomore CD, is a real
milestone for the family act. The talented
musical trio includes brother and sister Tyler
(16) and Amanda (18), and proud dad, Steven.
They've been singing and making music together
for years, yet they've only been basking in the
limelight for two years. They have received
countless awards for their contemporary brand of
country music. They've also made appearances on
popular television shows like Good Morning
America, Access Hollywood, The Donny and Marie
Show, and many more! Amanda has been the main
vocaltalent from the very start. She had the
knockout voice on their debut album, Nothing But
Love. Tyler While she took center stage, Tyler
was crooning in the background, but not for
long.That's all changed on their new album! He's
been brought into sharp focus on Here and
Now.Their second album is a real milestone,
because he shares the spotlight with his big sis
in a collection ofwonderful songs. They even
co-wrote a song together (along with N*SYNC pop
writer, Robin Wiley) called Itwas Only a Kiss.
This new CD is far from being just strictly
country fare. It has a contemporary pop beat
woven into the roots of country,a very potent
mix. Here and Now will satisfy any kind of taste,
with its livelybackbeat and singable lyrics.
Joanne: I had the pleasure to
talk with Amanda and Tyler,about everything from
how they got started, and what everyone thinks
about Tyler becoming an instant heartthrob! I'd
like to welcome Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson to the
interview. You're deep appreciation for life,
living in the moment and family is refreshingly
evident in all of your songs. There's a variety
of fresh, distinctive sounds on each of the
tracks. How do you keep your spirit alive every
day, and how to you channel it into your music?
Amanda: We truly enjoy the gift
of music. If we didn't we wouldn't be in this
business. We enjoy being able to make music, and
be creative. We'd do it for free! We HAVE done it
for free...ha! ha! The recording process keeps
getting better and better, and more inspiring.
Life is so much fun for us right now, and that
can't help but become evident in our music.
Joanne: What's a typical day at
your house like when you're touring, and when
you're not?
Amanda: Basically when we are
on the road our days are very routine oriented. I
usually get up at around noon. Hey, I'ma
teenager! Then I get ready for the day at
whatever hotel we may be at that day. After that
I grab some lunch, then I have some time to check
out the town. Which usually means I get to do
some shopping,even if it's just to look. What can
I say? I love it! Prior to the concert we do any
prearranged media whether it's radio or magazine
interviews. Then right before the show we do a
radio meet and greet with contest winners. After
that - it's show time! That's the fun part! It's
my favorite part of the day. After the concert we
see our fans and sign some autographs. It's
always a blast to meet our fans. They are the
whole reason we do what we do. Once we are loaded
up and ready for the road it is about midnight.
Then we are on our way to the next city and I'm
ready for bed!
Tyler: Usually when we are home
we do typical teenage stuff. We hang out with our
friends. We go to the mall. We go to the movies
(we see a lot of movies!!!!!!) And we do a lot of
outdoor stuff - like roller blading. But of
course there is a pause in amongst all of that
where mom kicks my butt and makes me do
schoolwork.Yeah, you heard me right.
Joanne: What was is like to
shoot your new music video for "Jimmy's Got
a Girlfriend" outside of a sound-stage, for
the first time?
Amanda: Shooting
"Jimmy" was crazy! We had so much fun.
It was shot in a really urban part of Los
Angeles. The buildings looked like they should
have been in"West Side Story". It was
shot in January, so it was really cold outside. I
know it looks like it was warm, but it really
wasn't. Between each take we had to put coats on
- because it was freezing!
Tyler: We started shooting at
5:00am Talk about early! But, the cool thing was,
eventually it did warm up in the afternoon. The
extras were so much fun. There were about 45-50
extras. They really added to the energy of the
set.
Amanda: It was the first time I
have ever attempted to do some acting. Let me
tell you, it was a really unusual experience. One
I will never forget. I had a really fun time with
it. I'd do it again for sure.
Joanne: I've heard there's a
funny story to go along with the making of your
new single "Jimmy's Got a Girlfriend."
Could you please share it?
Tyler: Oh yeah! The actor that
played Jimmy in the video (Scott Bailey) was
picking up Amanda in one of the shots in the
video and his khakis split right up the back.
Well....we didn't have enough time for him to
change, and he didn't have another pair of
khakis. So, the director basically told the
people in wardrobe to tape him up and carry on.
Scott was really good about the whole thing.
Needless to say it 'cracked' us up the entire
day!
Joanne: Who's idea was it to
start a band? Did you ever expect to go on
television shows, win countless awards, and be so
popular on the radio? Why or why not?
Amanda: I don't think it was
this huge cosmic epiphany where we said,
"hey we sound awesome together. We should
take this show on the road".. ha, ha. We've
just always been singing together. We just have a
lot of fun with it. It was something we could do
as a family. We are still having a blast! I hope
it never gets old.
Tyler: In our wildest dreams we
never expected any of this. I don't think you can
expect something like this to happen. We are so
excited to see what is in store for us next. We
most definitely have to thank our fans for
embracing our music, and us. Also other artists
in the country music industry and outside the
country music industry have really been
supportive. We really appreciate all of it.
Joanne: I can imagine how being
on a tour bus together for days on end could
strain your family ties. How do you nurture your
close relationship and handle being irritated
with each other?
Amanda: You definitely have to
be patient, becauseeveryone gets into their
little mood occasionally. If one of us is having
a bad day we just know enough to give each other
some space. It's not that we don't love each
others company. It's just that, sometimes we have
to respect each other's privacy. One thing I have
to work on is to stop hogging the bathroom. The
guys hate that!
Joanne: How has Tyler being a
new heartthrob affected the whole family?
Amanda: We think it's funny. We
just see him as "Tyler" but girls go
crazy!
Tyler: I don't get it. Don't
get me wrong, it's really flattering! But I look
in the mirror and I think I look like every other
teenage guy out there. I just don't get it!
Amanda: That's OK Ty! We don't
get it either!!! ha, ha
The Wilkinsons take home a
four-pack of CCMA awards
By STEVE TILLEY -- Edmonton Sun EDMONTON --
The family that plays together,
stays together. And wins a whole bunch of awards
together, too. Especially if the family happens
to be the Wilkinsons, the Trenton, Ont. clan that
cemented a country dynasty of sorts last night by
walking away with an armload of Canadian Country
Music Association awards - for the second year in
a row.
"We are completely, like,
dumbfounded," said Amanda Wilkinson, the
18-year-old who forms one-third of the trio,
along with brother Tyler, 16, and dad Steve.
And that was after only their
second win in front of 7,000 enthusiastic fans at
Skyreach Centre. In total, the Wilkinsons walked
away with album of the year, for Here and Now;
single of the year, for Jimmy's Got a Girlfriend;
vocal duo or group of the year and the hotly
contested Chevy fans' choice award, which saw
them competing against Julian Austin, Terri
Clark, Paul Brandt and the absentee queen of
country, Shania Twain.
"Thank you guys again for
everything. These past couple of years have been
absolutely tremendous for us," Amanda said
after their third win, referring in part to the
five CCMA awards the family won last year.
The Wilkinsons weren't the only
big winners of the night. Calgarian Paul Brandt,
who shared hosting duties with fellow Albertan
Terri Clark, took home video of the year and male
artist of the year awards.
"I wanna thank God for the
wonderful gift of music. I want to keep doing
this as long as He and you guys keep letting
me," said Brandt after accepting the male
artist award (and a standing ovation). "You
fans, you're my life work, you make my dreams
come true. Every time you smile I appreciate
it." Clark, living up to her reputation as a
fun-lovin' country gal, kept the proceedings on
its collective toes. (Hey, Paul, you knew what
you were getting into when you signed up for this
gig.) It's tough to recall the last time a CCMA
awards host grabbed her bosom to make a joke. OK,
maybe it's not that uncommon. Canadians weren't
the only ones on stage (and we're not talking
about all the Canadians who now call Nashville
home).
The Dixie Chicks accepted their
award for top-selling album Fly) in a taped
segment, and the legendary Patty Loveless
performed That's the Kind of Mood I'm In. Much
closer to home, Edmonton's own Adam Gregory, who
performed a 90-second version of his hit song
Horseshoes to enthusiastic screams, was shut out
of the rising star award by Tara Lyn Hart's win
in that category. "I was personally rooting
- I mean everyone was so great, but I wanted Adam
to win," said Hart of her record label-mate.
Naturally, someone in the audience screamed,
"I love you Adam!" "I love Adam
too. He rocks," said Hart.
The female artist of the year
award went to Michelle Wright, who, just as an
aside, looked abso-freakin-lutely amazing in both
her outfits for the evening. She got a
well-deserved standing ovation. "Oh boy. Boy
oh boy. That's really wonderful, thank you so
much," said Wright, who was on the verge of
tears of joy.
The final award was the Chevy
fans' choice award (apparently Ford fans weren't
allowed to vote), going to - once again - the
Wilkinsons.
"Wow, this is awesome! The
award name just speaks for itself. It's because
of you guys up there that we're standing up
here," said Tyler Wilkinson. "Thank you
Canada, you guys are absolutely the best,"
added dad Steve.
Read on for Part 2 (this
message was too big to fit in one WOOHOO!)
Fan Stuff...
*Question of the Month*
What do you think of The
Wilkinsons new video for 1999??
Last months question...
"What's the craziest thing you've done to
get the Wilkinson's attention/in front of
them?"
I met The Wilkinsons on August
11, 2000 at the Georgetown Fair in Georgetown,
IL. I was so excited that if you bought a CD, you
could go back after the show to meet them! Well,
I ended up the last in line to meet them. Then
their tour manager came up and said, "guess
what? We're gonna start with the back!" I
was sooooooo excited! I met them all and hugged
Steve, Amanda and TYLER!!!! As I was walikng
away, I saw the line where people were waiting to
get their autograph. The line was HUIGE. so i
screamed (VERY loudly) "ANYONE WANT TO TOUCH
ME??? CAUSE I JUST HUGGED TYLER!!!" i have
NO clue why that came out of my mouth, but it
did, and people stared at me and my mom started
craking up! My face was VERY RED! ~Kylie
Let's see I've been pretty calm
in front of Tyler although inside I wanted to hug
him so bad!! LOL really at the first concert I
went to of theirs, actually it was a big thing
because it wasnt just The Wilkinsons there. The
other performers were.. Rascal Flatts, Jo Dee
Messina, and Ty Herndon. Anyways Rascal Flatts
was on first and my little buddy Mitchel saw
Tyler backstage. So he tryed to show me where he
was but I couldnt see!! So Mitchell being the
sweetie that he is, climbed up on a chair and
screamed Tyler's name!! He looked over and
Mitchell was like: "This is Alex and she
loves you!" Tyler smiled and waved at me!! I
was like OMG!!! And then Amanda and Tyler waved
to us again onstage!! Yes Mitchell has a crush on
Amanda LOL okay that's it.. Thank ya ~*Alex*~
um sang along with the songs?
haha. I don't really do many crazy things, i've
talked to them before and they were really nice.
I don't think you'd have to do anything really
insane to get their attention! - Andie
i haven't ever done anything
crazy in fron of them. i've made a sign. - Sara
LOL probably brought a
lightsaber to a show and waved it around during
"Hypothetically". The look on Tyler's
face was just hilarious! - Tracey
....y'all don't hurt me but
when we were in Peterborough talking to two of
Paul's band members..Tyler came over trying to
"start a fight" with them and I
reminded the drummer that he still had blue hair
dye left to apply to Tyler's hair when he was
sleeping for revenge... LOL!! Tyler got called
back over cause they weren't done autographs yet
LOL - Mel
Well, I actually didn't do this
in front of them, but . . . I took scuba lessons
last year so I could hopefully scuba dive with
them on the cruise. (They didn't go scuba diving
on the cruise, though). Anyway, I ended up
getting decompression sickness ("the
bends") on the last day of my open-water
training. At least that's what they ended up
calling it. I'm still not 100% positive that's
what it was, but I'm treating it like it was.
Anyway, I got to spend several hours in the
decompression chamber. And go back a few times
that week for even more treatments. Oh what fun.
- David
I dont know if they seen it or
not...but, in OKC as their bus was pulling
in...my foot like slid out of my shoe on the side
and I tripped. Luckily Cynthia was there to catch
me. But, in Potosi, MO this girl beside me had
her friends and they were holding a sign for
Tyler. Cant remember what it said..but, the
people behind them were complaining so she asked
me to help her....I was like hesitating b/c I
never ever hold signs for anyone! But, I was like
okay..and then Tyler seen..so I was like um, nm.
And stopped holding it. - Jaclyn
As for Holly....she was
screaming into their camper back in Topeka @
RRD's..and she was talking to Kiaya through the
glass telling her how much she loved her
brother!! It was funny! And then Chris and Amanda
came out and Chris gave us these tickets and
Holly thought they were concert tickets and was
going on and on about how cool it was of her, and
blah blah, when really all's it was were just
tickets for the rides...LoL - Jaclyn
"The Frying Pan
Incident" That's all I'm saying - Ethan
Poll Yes, the pole without
limits is back! We give you a question you give
us our pick.
This months poll: If you could
write a song about The Wilkinsons..what would the
title be??
Last months poll. "If you
were stranded on an island, which Wilkinson would
you like to be stranded with?"
If I were stranded on a desert
island I'd naturally want to spend it with
Tyler!!!! there's no doubt in my mind. Now dont
get me wrong I love the other Wilkinsons just as
much..well maybe but Tyler is so sweet and
nice!!! Ahh just thinking about it puts a smile
on my face!! - Alex
I pick tyler because he is my
age, cute,seems really nice and has stared at me.
- Sara
tyler because he seems like
he'd be able to catch fish so we could eat! Plus
he seems really nice and fun to be around. -
Andie
Only one? Eegads, such a hard
choice. I guess I'd have to say Steve. He's
closer to my age, and he can play the guitar, so
we'd have something fun to do (duets with the
guitar). He can take the guitar with him, right?
- David
Most girls would say Tyler.
Most guys would say Amanda. I would have to say
Steve. I mean he use to be a Carpenter or
something like that..so he could make us a tent
or something. LoL - Jaclyn
If you were stranded on a
desert island...with wish wilkinson would you
want to be there with??
e) cant decide? Danielle
Tyler...why? Cuz he could put
on an Obi-Wan costume, get out a lightsaber and
protect us from the dark side...LOL just kidding
but I would pick Tyler. - Tracey
*Concert Review*
Feb. 19th, 2000 in Ottawa,
Canada
by Angel
Hi my name is Angel I am a huge
fan of the wilkinsons I have loved them since the
first time I saw them preform when they were on
home grown cafe with me well the same show night.
Since then my mom and i always talked about how
one day they were gonna make it and look at them
now. So anyways i have been to lots of wilkinsons
concerts but i am gonna write about the most
recent one on feb.19/00 here in ottawa.
My mom and I had floor seats at
the concert I borrowed a friends camera cause my
camera is crappy. The concert was greatduring it
I even went up to the stage and took pictures,
well I thought I was taking pic's it just so
happens that since it wasnt my camera i didnt
know how to work it your sopposed to press the
button and wait for the green light but silly me
i was so excited i forgot a just keept pressing
the button so the ones that i took during the
concert didnt turn out. I also brought up to the
front of the stage a special present for each one
of the wilkinsons tyler bent down to take them
from me but he keept dropping them (hes soo
silly)I was at the front of the stage for a very
long time trying to hand them to him (my mom said
he did it on puropse????maybe she was just trying
to make me happy i donna know) Anyways I went
back to my seat after shaking his hand i was soo
red i could feel my face beeming.
After the concert a man from
y105 came on the stage and said they would be
having a meet and greet for fan club members and
for people who had bought their tape or cd and as
long as it was in the package. Darn I thought
cause my fan club stuff hadnt come in the mail
yet. BUT I did have their cd with me even though
I hadnt bought it their but my mom reminded me
that it had to still be in the package. So I was
very sad until a lady told me I could pretend I
was her daughter but no need for that cause when
I was standing in line waiting with her a very
nice lady came up to us and started talking to us
I was telling her about home grown cafe and how
much of an idol amanda was to me and how cute and
sweet tyler was "I wanna get out of here
before the mad rush" she said after I was
curiouse to what she was talking about so i asked
"don't you wanna meet them?" while I
was noticing her laminet she said "oh I get
to see them all the time" "what do you
mean?" I asked "oh i am their
aunt" she replied casually!!!!!!!!! I was
like no way and I was like flipping out she told
me to go grab a pen and paper and she would take
my address and mail me she said and we would keep
in touch on top of that i got her laminet. I went
backstage and took a pic with the wilkinsons I
was made at myself for wearing big shoes cause i
looked giant compaired to all of them but it
didnt matter I talked to them for a while and
told them about the camera problem Amanda said
"why would you want pics of him
anywyas" I could feel my face turing red we
laughed it off and took a pic then i left. I
asked my mom if she thought that their aunt would
really keepin touch and well to anwser that
question we have been emailing each other and
talking on the phone and in november actually
november 22 I am taking a bus down to her house
in the beeleville area and sleeping their we r
going to the concert together and she said that
she would bring me backstage before the concert.
And who knows maybe just maybe we will be able to
hang out with them or something. oh and you know
in the latest issue of country weekly the dog in
that picture is wear i am going!!!!!! Well I was
glad to share my story I have so many more but I
will write about the november 22 one after I go
ttyl love Angel Thanks Angel!
