Jacob's Loc Performs at Musicians 4 Disaster Relief Concert
(February 18, 2005) True to his promise to fans at the last O-Town concert in Orlando that 'we'll see you soon,' Jacob was back at Universal Studios less than a year and half later to perform with his new band, Jacob's Loc, at the Musicians 4 Disaster Relief Concert in the company of such musical legends as Rick Derringer and Michael Bolton. It is fitting that long-time fan Iliana, who was the first to get the word out about Jacob's Loc, was one of the first east coasters to see them take the stage outside of California. Click here to see her review and photos from this event. Thank you, Iliana!

Micki Responds to Fans' Requests for An Update!
(March 31, 2005) Since Micki continues to check IO to keep up to date with what is going on in IO's world, she saw the many requests from fans for news of how the guys' projects are progressing. She posted this message on our message board in response to the many inquiries from fans regarding Erik. Thank you so much, Micki, for taking the time to update us!

Hello O-fans: It's been quite awhile since my last post (although I do sneak in here to see what's new). Just wanted to stop by and let you know that Erik-Michael is alive and well and working very hard and long hours in the studio. It's not easy putting together the right producers, co-writers etc. not to mention writing time. Going solo, while liberating in that you make your own decisions (no group voting necessary), is not to be taken lightly. You rise and fall on your own and that means you must take the time to make sure every aspect of your album is the best it can be. I know it seems like forever, but all good things are worth waiting for. Thank you all for your enthusiasm, encouragement and prayers and know that Erik-Michael is well aware of how much his fans miss him and are looking forward to hearing his music. Hang in there ladies, there seems to be some light at the end of this longggggg tunnel and I promise the minute I'm able to give you the 4-1-1 IO will be the first to know.

Much love from both Erik-Michael and myself and God Bless. Micki
