March 3, 2009 For immediate release "If It's My Time To Go," a song by Color Theory (the moniker for singer-songwriter Brian Hazard), won the grand prize in the electronic category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Judged by music industry veterans and recording artists such as Bob Weir, the Veronicas, and Al Jarreau, the Lennon contest is one of today's most prestigious international songwriting competitions. Hazard will receive over $5,500 in cash and musical equipment in connection with the award. The song can be heard on the John Lennon Songwriting Contest website at: http://www.jlsc.com/winners/2008b/winners.php"If It's My Time To Go" is featured on Color Theory's latest album, "The Thought Chapter." Released in November 2008, "The Thought Chapter" is a strong and wide-ranging collection of 12 songs featuring Hazard's memorable songcraft and unique arrangements. The news that Color Theory has won a John Lennon Songwriting Contest award comes in the wake of an announcement last week that the Huntington Beach, California-based artist is a nominee for Best Electronic in the 2009 Orange County Music Awards. That event will be held at the Grove of Anaheim on April 4, 2009. More about Color Theory at: http://www.colortheory.comCONTACT: colortheory@colortheory.com

Thank you! The fun isn't over yet. Starting on March 19, I've got to round up votes on the JLSC site. Everyone can vote once per day, all the way until April 27! I'm going to need to expand my comfort zone and become really annoying fast!  Brian.

They've turned the JLSC Contest into a popularity vote? Are you kidding me?

Sad but true. In this phase, I'm only up against one other guy - the guy who one last time in my category. If I make it through, the 12 finalists' songs go to the celebrity panel to pick one winner for $20,000.

Hope I'm not wearing out my welcome here, but on Thursday, the next phase of the contest begins, and I need your help to win it. I'm only up against one other person, so we've got great odds! Whoever gets the most votes on the JLSC web site wins a 1,000 custom CD package from Disc Makers, and a 1 in 12 chance for $20,000 cash! I want to manufacture my next album with that CD package. If you help me win it, I'll include your name in the liner notes as a sponsor. Here's how it works: You're allowed to vote once per day from March 19 through April 27. I'll send you a reminder e-mail every day with a link to the voting page. Click the link, click to vote. Two clicks. After the initial registration, it shouldn't take more than 10 seconds a day. Will you do it? Please sign up at http://www.colortheory.com/helpBrian. COLOR THEORY electronic indie piano pop Brian Hazard = Color Theory colortheory@colortheory.com http://www.colortheory.com

Feels nice to get a little attention after 15 years of hiding out.
