UPDATES REPORTED May 1 - June 16, 2005

Dan Lands a Song on the New Shawn Desman Album!
(May 5, 2005) We all know Dan is a talented songwriter - now the rest of the world will too! Dan has a co-writing credit on a song called Insomniac, one of the tracks on platinum selling Canadian artist Shawn Desman's sophomore CD Back For More (BMG Canada) released on May 3. The song is a beautiful ballad about a love affair gone wrong and the sleepless nights it causes. Click here to listen to a sample of Insomniac. Click here to purchase the song as a download or the entire CD! Click here to post and/or read comments about the song. Unfortunately, Dan
does not sing on the track, but Shawn definitely does justice to the lyrics. Read a MuchMusic review of the CD here - Dan is in some elite songwriting company! The first single off the album, the high energy "Let's Go", made the Top 40 radio chart in Canada in its first week - maybe a ballad will be next! Check it out at your local music store!

An Update on Ashley!
(May 20, 2005) Inside O-Town spoke with Tiffany and Ashley today - we told them that all of the fans were very anxious to hear any news regarding the album, so Ashley asked us to post a message from him to all of you!
Ashley said he is so sorry that things are taking so long, but he asks that everyone be patient. His album was pushed back, but that's only so they can make it perfect! He has so many exciting things going on right now - both professionally and personally and he can't wait to share them with you! But wait he must -- he just is not at liberty to share all of the excitement just yet. He did tell us that it is more than just the album that we have to look forward to, but that's the only hint he can give us right now! Ashley promised that as soon as he gets the green light from his management, he will share the details with Inside O-Town! We know that waiting is hard, but we have been assured that in this case, the wait will be worth it! Ashley said he loves and misses you all and he would be forever grateful for all the support. As soon as we have any news to report, we will bring it to you, so stay tuned to Inside O-Town!!
