Libera on the Radio

Libera will be doing an interview with Moody Radio Chicago tomorrow (Tuesday the 26th). It is supposed to air between 8:00 - 8:30 am Central Standard Time on Mark Elfstrand's "The Morning Ride" show. The web site is here.   This is great because Moody Radio is the largest Christian radio station in the area, and the interview will be on when lots of people are listening while driving to work.

There's also an interview coming up on Classical MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) with Steve Staruch. His show airs 3-6 pm CST. I have a call in to see if that is airing today or tomorrow. The web site is here.

Libera at Starkey Gala

Libera posted on their Facebook page, "Looking forward to the Starkey Awards Gala later today. Wondering who we will meet backstage..."

The ballroom is all ready!!! :D

Libera doing a sound check with country singer, John Rich!!!

Who is the tallest one with the dark hair in the back row?

The gala started a little before 6 pm. Libera was the first on stage to sing! They sang "Song of Life" with Ralph singing his beautiful solo, and I think I see Ben! You can see a short clip here. There is also a clip of them walking off the stage here. There appears to be a lot of boys here on the tour! Yay!!! :)

UPDATE: Fan de LoK was in the crowd outside after the performance and was told by one of the chaperones that Libera sang 3 songs!

I see Mr. Prizeman, Steven Geraghty and Matthew R-A on the right.

Kavana, Luke & Tiarnan

Is that mini James? Or a newbie much minier?

Henry

Ralph

There are 3 more clips here of Libera on stage with John Rich singing a song called "For The Kids" with Libera singing back-up and Marlee Matlin interpreting in sign language. We don't hear Libera singing in these clips, so I'm really hoping Starkey will post longer clips later. I see Daniel back row right! :D

And who is the dark-haired boy at Marlee Matlin's elbow? If you see the video, you can tell it's not Daniel. It's the boy standing next to Daniel. Update: It's Carlos! See below! :)

Pictures on Starkey's Facebook page.

?, Luke, Matthew J., Carlos, Freddie, Daniel & Jude.

Starkey raised over $7.2 million dollars tonight! Congratulations, Libera, on such an exciting night! I'm sure you wowed the crowd and made a lot more fans tonight!

Now...on with the tour!!!!  :D

Starkey Gala is Sold Out!

The Starkey Gala is sold out! Libera will be performing to a packed house! Here's a picture of what the RiverCentre Ballroom looks like while they're setting up.

Hope we get to see Libera walk the Red Carpet!!!

Video of the stage being set up - HERE

Kyle Massey's going to be at the gala! I love that guy! He was on Disney's "That's So Raven" and "Cory in the House!" To the left is his brother, Christopher. He was on Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101." Here they're playing golf at the Starkey golf tournament. :D

They're HERE!!!

I just woke up. Libera tweeted and posted on Facebook at 3:47 am our time:

"We've arrived safely in the USA."

It's really happening!!! Hope you were able to sleep on the plane and that no one has jet lag. I can't wait to see which boys came on the trip and how many there are! It's been really hot here. Supposed to be 93 (34) degrees today in Minneapolis. Have a great time tomorrow at church and at the gala! :D

Today is Alex's birthday! With the time change, he's gonna have the longest birthday ever! Hope you have a great day, Alex!

Libera Christmas Album!!!!!

Oh my word! Libera is putting out a Christmas album! It's what I've been hoping for! You can read about it here. I don't know how they have time for all of these things, but thank you, Libera!!!!! :D

And how cruel to show us a picture with only 8 boys. I know it took more than that to record the album. lol. It's a very cute picture, though. :)

UPDATE: And now there are 9 boys! :D
