Special Spaces Special Faces
Special Spaces takes on three musicians, Bo Bice from American Idol, Jason Meadows of Nashville Star, and Stephen Cochran, to help make over three rooms in a Caryville family's home.
Fourteen-year-old William Simpson, his 18-year-old sister Johnnie, and their mother Patricia all suffer from a form of heart disease known as cardiomyopathy. The kids can no longer take part in sports. Special Spaces gave them functional rooms, places where they can have fun and escape from their illness.

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."

Bo Bice and Wife Caroline Expecting a Second Child
"Former American Idol runner-up Bo Bice and his wife, Caroline Fisher, are expecting their second child, the singer tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“I’m proud to be a dad again,” says Bice, adding that his wife is due in August. “We don’t know if it’s a boy or girl yet and don’t care as long as it’s healthy and has all its fingers and toes.”"
"Aidan has helped me to grow and be a better person in the past 2 ½ years. I've let go of a lot of things in life that I thought were important since he came into our world, he also teaches me each day to be more loving, understanding and patient."

Billboard.com catches up with Bo
"BO BICE: The fourth season runner-up is promoting his second album, "See the Light." Released on an independent label and available exclusively through Walmart, the CD returns Bice to his southern rocker roots.
But the album is not the only thing occupying Bice's time. "I went over to Afghanistan for 12 days with the non-profit organization Stars for Stripes." Bice performed for U.S. troops stationed in that country. He was hitting the road again after his "American Idol Extra" taping. "We're heading to Texas and Missouri, Atlantic City, New York, Pennsylvania. I'm doing some charity events for NASCAR and this summer I'm going to visit the kids at 'Idol' Camp."
The two-week session is for children aged 10-15 who get an introduction to the music industry from visiting professionals and former Idols."

Bart Walker Playing Lead Guitar For Bo Bice
Whatsup Guys,
Bart Walker will be playing lead guitar, mandolin, and saxophone with Bo Bice on his upcoming 2008 tour. Be sure to check back in for updates and shows near you.
Have a great day,
ACO
Bart started honing in on his guitar skills at the ripe age of four. Along the way, he became an accomplished musician in a variety of instruments including the mandolin, banjo, dobro, bass, saxophone, fiddle and drums. His accomplishments include winning a variety of bluegrass competitions in his youth, a full scholarship from Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music to study voice in high school, being chosen as a vocalist in the Governors School for the Arts, as well as being selected by a Tennessee panel of judges for excellence for jazz band. After graduating high school, he was recruited into the army national guard as a musician. He attended Austin Peay State University on a full scholarship where his concentration was vocal performance and string bass majors and minors in guitar performance and composition. After college, he moved to Memphis to pursue his dreams of playing the blues. While in Memphis, he became a known name and played for the likes of Ruby Wilson and Preston Shannon. He later on formed a band called Five Mississippi playing all over Beale Street, as well as other parts of Memphis, and as far south as Tunica, Clarksdale and Oxford Mississippi. He returned to Nashville in 2005 with a new feel for the blues, where he has played many studio sessions and various clubs. In addition to his current role as lead guitarist for B.B. King’s House Rockers at B.B. King’s Blues Club, he has also chalked up countless hours in the studio.
