Jaron And The Long Road to Love
This morning I had the opportunity to interview one of the hottest new country artists! He's definitely not new to the business. Many know him from his Evan & Jaron days when he and his twin brother performed as a duo. One of my favorite hit songs they sang was "Crazy For This Girl."
Jaron decided to move from LA to Nashville to pursue his music career. His sound and style I don't think can be classified into one particular genre...but since he is now in Nashville, I say this boy has "Gone Country!" And I am so glad he did!
Jaron And The Long Road To Love just released their debut album "Getting Dressed in the Dark" Now what does that title mean? I didn't have time to ask, but I could think of a few different scenarios :) His album debuted at Number 1 on the iTunes Country Charts and his hit single "Pray for You" which he co-wrote with Joel Brentlinger, is officially gold! Why the name ? Well it seems some of us have been burnt and well this is the perfect song for sweet revenge...
Jaron's debut Country single, "Pray For You," recently spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. "Pray For You," is a Top 20 hit and rising on Country Radio.Jaron And The Long Road To Love is currently a Top 10 Country Artist on the Myspace Music Charts. Jaron And The Long Road To Love's videos receive 60,000 UNIQUE views on You Tube each day. In the last 6 months, Jaron And The Long Road To Love has earned a combined total of 3.9 million You Tube views. "Pray For You" has become a smash hit, currently selling 43k units a week on iTunes and peaking at #2 on the Country iTunes Chart and Top 25 on the All Genre iTunes Chart. "Pray For You" is currently in its 23rd consecutive week of sales increases on ITunes and is nearing GOLD single status. "Pray For You" (the prequel) is currently the third highest-streamed music video on CMT.com.

Jill,
I absolutely loved the dress that you had on July 6, 2010. My boyfriend really thought that I would look hot in that dress. Where can I buy that dress?
Thank you,
Jennifer
JILL NICOLOINI - Thank you so much Jennifer, you're too sweet! I am outfitted by Lord and Taylor, be sure to check them out :)
Jill thank you for this, I double clicked my screen for I could feel the electricity in that room!
Long road to love, sounds familiar like some reality show Jill was on and dumped the poor guy on Tv. hmmm
Did you pose naked for this shoot or any for PIX11 Morning news or just to get the popularity to get to this stage?
Your my age but you look so much older, like a really old women, results of the botched bot ox? too much plastic surgery for you there?
Poor Jill Hasbeen Jugullini, years later after you started, your a common, run of the mill, over the hill hag with saggy fake cleavage and not a child or successful marriage to show for herself. tsk tsk, Does the fans know the real you or the fake stuff they posted on your profile. LOSER!
JILL NICOLINI- You are so sweet ! Yes almost married on a reality show! yes I have plastic surgery all over fake boobs arms legs you name it :) Id proably melt next to a fire LOL Have a great day!
WOW - who is "Your Past", Anthony?
That comment was so out line I had to read it twice to see what that person's problem was!
Jill, while I'm old enough to be your father (well, maybe older brother), I find you to be delightful, beautiful, fun, funny, sexy and a true TV presence. My friends in the FDNY tell me that every TV in every firehouse is tuned to PIX each morning just to see you - and you never disappoint.
I work nights in a hospital (in fact I worked with your mom's neighbor Maria until she went to days) and I always leave the lobby TV on PIX so I can catch you in the morning. Unfortunately, I got in trouble for leaving PIX on because it is a Catholic hospital, and when the nuns came in to work each morning, Jerry Springer would be on and they would go nuts!
Hope you have a good summer, Jill, and keep those blogs coming!
JILL NICOLINI - Thank you so much, you are too sweet!! My summer has been very busy but great thus far, and I hope yours has been too :)
Jill
