3-13-03: The Wilkinson's
are NOT I repeat NOT breaking up! Even though Amanda is going to do the
solo thing, The Wilkinsons will still be a group. They will be releasing
another album together as a group. For more info read this.
3-8-03:
It's official. Amanda Wilkinson has signed with Universal South as a solo
artist. This is what is on CMT's website:
Amanda Wilkinson
Goes Solo
Amanda Wilkinson has signed a solo deal with Universal South Records and
is set to begin recording a new album in late spring. It will be the first
solo album for the 21-year-old singer who was a member of the trio The
Wilkinsons with father Steve and younger brother Tyler. In 1998, the group
scored a hit with their debut single, "26 Cents." Her producer
will be Tony Brown, the Universal South executive who has produced Vince
Gill, George Strait, Reba McEntire and many others. Brown says, "I've
been a major fan of Amanda's for years, and I'm excited about going into
the studio with such a great singer. I think there's a lot of curiosity
about what Amanda will do on her own project." (03/07/03)
Don't know what this
means for the Wilkinsons. GAC's website made it sound like they're breaking
up, but I refuse to believe that unless they say it themselves. After
all as far as I know they are working on 3 albums at the moment, one being
group one.
3-06-03: Word has it
Amanda has signed with Universal Records. If I hear anything more I'll
let you guys know, but so far I haven't found anything official online
anywhere.
3-04-03: The Wilkinsons
were in Saskatchewan, Canada over the weekend for the Telemiracle Telethon.
The telethon lasted 20 hours and was televised. The Wilkinsons I'm told,
were there for most of it. They sang Paper Doll (twice), Jimmy, and 26
Cents, among others. Currently, Steve, Tyler, and Amanda are working on
3 different albums (a group one, a solo Amanda one, and a solo Tyler one).
(Credit: Martina). Also, I've known this for awhile but I wasn't sure
I should say anything but since Steve seems to be talking about it I will
now tell you all. I heard from a reliable source (not telling who) that
Amanda got signed to a label and that Tyler is looking for one. He wants
to go rock. Best of luck to both of them. Now don't start freaking out,
they haven't split up or anything. From what I gather they are just branching
out in a few different areas right now. They are going to record one more
album as a family at least. In other news those two websites have been
taken down. The girl (who shall remain anonymous) emailed me an apology.
Case closed :0)
3-01-03: Wilkinson Fans
(especially those with websites) beware. There is a girl stealing a bunch
of people's pictures and posting them on her websites without asking for
permission. Seems she's trying to pass them off as her own pictures, but
heck my friends and I are in some of those pics and there are tags on
a lot of them saying where they belong. I'm pretty ticked, I mean I work
hard on this website and then some girl goes and steals all my pictures
and song lyrics? I think not! If you want to check out the websites go
here
and here.
And if anyone knows who the girl is please let me know cuz this has got
to stop.
2-25-03: Looks like
the rumors about Amanda Wilkinson going solo may come true, but not for
awhile. There is a new label called Universal South, which is run by Elvis's
old piano player Tony Brown and Arista Record's Former Tim Dubois and
they have their eyes on signing Amanda Wilkinson. However, The Wilkinsons
plan to record at least one more album together as a group, which will
probably be released independently. Good news huh? :) To read the article
I got this information from click here.
