Michelle Branch Mini

Michelle Branch checked in with her Twitter followers (@michellebranch) earlier today, upset about the unhealthy food other parents were packing for their children at school. The singer songwriter and mother writes:

Warning. Rant ahead: Seeing Owen’s school snack compared to other kids in her class this morning was infuriating. Colored pudding and juice boxes (a.k.a corn syrup/sugar) are not a healthy snack. What’s so wrong with carrot sticks, string cheese and water people? We need to give our children a healthy foundation for the rest of their lives! It is so important.

Michelle Branch Keeps Extremely Busy

Michelle Branch checked in with fans on her official web site on Thursday (November 19), talking about how she’s been keeping busy lately. The singer songwriter tells readers:

I know it seems super quiet around here but believe me, I’ve been keeping extremely busy!! I just got back from Minneapolis and Omaha where I had two really great shows. Thanks to everyone who came out and to KS95 and Q98-5 for having me.

Last week was CMA week and I was not immune to the craziness. I had a great time meeting up with all the radio stations who were in town and I also got to hang with some of my buddies who I don’t get to see that often. The CMA show was so much fun but the after parties were the highlight. I needed two full days to recuperate this year! In fact, I’m kicking myself now but I was supposed to go to the premiere of The Blind Side the following day but I opted for my P.J’s and watching T.V. in bed. :) I also went to the most amazing and inspirational dinner. Emmylou Harris hosted an event for the NRDC on behalf of Music Saves Mountains, spreading the word about the horrible practice of mountain top removal in the Appalachia.

Michelle Branch is interviewed about her new album 'Everything Comes And Goes'Michelle Branch sat down for an interview with Billboard and followed it up with an performance of her new single ‘Sooner or Later’.

“My new album is coming out this winter, it’s called ‘Everything Comes And Goes’. I’m really excited because it’s the first solo record I’ve had in six years,” Branch said. “It’s hard because it’s my first record in six years, there’s a lot of different expectations from different people, and I do have a relationship with the pop side and now this new relationship with the country side, so it was a balance to make everybody happy. I think there was no doubt from day one that everyone was really, really excited about the project.”

As for the album’s first release, she said, “We all chose ‘Sooner Or Later’ to be the single. It was kind of a long process. When I was first in the studio and we were finishing writing that song, first putting it down, I immediately thought it was a single. I think it’s good because my fans of my early stuff will not think it’s necessarily too country… It’s a good starter.”

A few weeks later, I was out on the road and I got this call saying, ‘The video shoot is in a few days can you get to Chicago?’ I was like, ‘So does that mean you like it?’ And they did.”
