Bo Bice: Rocker with a heart

Bo auctions Guitar on e-bay for charity
"This guitar is a BR183 and the other one is a BR180 I used while doing acoustic shows throughout the southeast. I love these guitars very much and they have been played for many years. If you bid on this guitar, please know that you are helping, Stars for Stripes & Safe House Women’s Shelter of Birmingham. I hope this guitar will bring someone as much joy as it have brought me over the years."

American Idol star thrills a special youngster at Sherman

"Colin Franko, 10, of Tunkhannock came to the Sherman Theater with his twin sister, Gracie and their parents to see Bice’s concert in 2006. Franko has Asperger syndrome, a form of autism, and was unable to handle the noise of the concert so he ended up watching the entire show with his mom from the glass doors in the lobby. He is a huge American Idol fan so it was very exciting for him to be at the concert.
The merchandise salesperson noticed that they were watching from the lobby and struck up a conversation with the mother and son. Once the show ended, he told them to stay.
“Patrick the salesman set this whole thing in motion. Had it not been for his act of kindness, this wouldn’t have happened,” said Cathy Franko, Colin’s mother, whose son had the opportunity to meet Bice because of the salesperson’s efforts.
Now, fast forward to 2008 and Bice’s second concert at the Sherman Theater. “I never got the chance to thank Patrick for what he did,” Franko explains. She decided that it was time to thank him so she wrote a letter expressing her gratitude toward Patrick and the Sherman Theater for what they did for her family. She also enclosed a letter to thank Bice for his kindness.
Franko received a phone call a few weeks later from the Sherman Theater asking if her family would be available to hang out with Bice before his concert this time. They answered yes, of course.
“We were there during sound check before the show. The principal of Colin’s school knew that he was going so he told him that if he was able to get a tiger paw picture for Bo to sign that the entire fourth grade with get extra recess time,” Franko said.
Colin is now the superstar of his class after hanging out with Bo Bice for a second time.
And the young boy? As is typical of most children who’ve had celebrity encounters, young Colin will be feeling its effects for quite some time:
During this visit, they sang songs together and Colin made sure to show Bice his report card. Colin also showed Bice an important school assignment that he did. “He wrote a time line of the five greatest moments of his life and Bo was a part of that,” Colin’s mom said."

Bo Bice Performs for the TN National Guard Conference, Nashville
"After just returning from Afghanistan in February where Bo Bice was able to meet soldiers fighting in Operation Enduring Freedom, many of them from the TN National Guard, he was the perfect fit to perform at the dinner for the TN National Guard Conference held in Nashville, TN.  Bo and his band performed an acoustic set as the 3 day conference came to an end for the TN National Guard.  After the show, Bo signed autographs and mingled with the soldiers and their families."

Bo Bice Updates- April 6th

Bo Bice segment on American Idol

Interview with the Pocono Record

Some snippets:

*"MV: You traveled to Kuwait and Afghanistan to perform for U.S. troops in February. I hear you are going back later this fall.
Bo: Yes, ma'am. We just got back. We were gone for two weeks in February and we are going back later this year. By the time the wheels landed back on U.S. soil, I think we were already half way booked again. We were over there for the troops. It doesn't matter what you think about the war or the president. These people put their lives on the line every day so we can speak our mind and be free. For me, that's why I went over there. I was over there to be a fan of theirs and to thank them. That is what the trips are truly about."

*"MV: How does the "Real Thing" differ from "See the Light"?
Bo: "The Real Thing" wasn't really anything that I had much to do with. That was really more of an album that was put together before I came into the picture and "See the Light" was the total opposite of that. I was there from the ground floor of that. I picked the songs that I wanted on the album. It was in many ways the total opposite of "The Real Thing.""

*"MV: Is there going to be a third album?
Bo: I'm already working on a third album. I'm starting to record in May and June. Hopefully I will have that out before Christmas. I'm gonna shoot for my birthday. That would be cool."
