new single
We have the artwork and the master done for the new love came down full band single. We will offer it for free from this site and all our social networks. We are in a meeting with our team talking about future ideas for both music and fashion. Jenn has had a heart to start a clothing line. So we'll see what we come up with.
guitars need work
I'm taking 3 of my guitars to the shop today. It's been too long since they've had a good adjustment. I bought some pedals yesterday not sure what they are but The guitar guys say they are the stuff. I've completely removed myself from that world and don't ever care to go back. I say "tell me what i need and I'll get it". There isn't enough time in the day to research and test the millions of pedals out there. Well Im still trying to finish a bunch of songs at the moment. It's hard to finish songs that I really think could be good. It's hard to decide what lyrics/melodies I want to land on.
New friends
Jenn and I just spent the day with a guy and his sister from la. He is a very famous pop singer and actor in Asia... over 11,000,000 album sells ect.... He got saved and is connecting with some of us here at bethel.
-God is doing amazing things with Kris Vallotton's book called sexual revolution all over the world.
-I'm sitting here with tea and Braden watching some crazy cartoon on Nick Jr trying to figure out what the heck it is.
-Again a big thanks to eveyone who bought the new love came down cd/DVD. The money will go to my wife and kids and get me some hunting gear LOL!!!!!!
Randy Clark conference
Just finished the Randy Clark conference. Wow!!!! It really was incredible. Such a presence and so many healings. Our new cd love came down is getting great reviews. Thanks everyone for the support. We are so blessed to work with such a great group of people at bethel. This next year is going to be so much fun for us. So many projects coming out through bethel music. Going to be awesome can't wait. Look for Dave fitzgeralds cd coming out in march. Killer cd!!!
Home from the cruise..
We had a great trip minus the last day due to abit of sea sickness. Good to be back in the saddle. We released the new Love came down cd/dvd while I was gone. So happy to here how everyone is liking it. We just had a meeting with the ministry team and have some more in store for the next few months. New free download of a song I'm working on....
Leaving for vacation
We are gettiing ready to go on vacation. I wont be posting any blogs while we are gone. We'll be back on the 10th of january. Have a great new year everyone!!!
Song writing...
I've been feeling the pressure to start writing again. Most of the time Anxiety doesn't help the creative process but some times setting up deadlines is the only way to go. Back in March when we recorded the love came down cd/dvd I literally finished 3 of the songs 30 minutes before the recording. Sooner or later you have to land on something and stick with it. I think the best way to write is to get alot of feedback from several different people.
just led worship sunday morning..
Wow!!!!! singing at 7:30 in the morning is not exactly something i love.... I'm sitting in the studio with adam listening to the worship service. Tape never lies and and is a great way to improve as a leader, musician.
We had a great christmas or should i say 4 christmas's with one more to go. Got some good stuff year!!! Have a great week everyone....
late night...
Its 1:26 am and I've been checking social networks for about 2 hours. Haley my 8 year old just walked up behind me while i was laying of the floor in the dark she obviously was sleep walking. She tapped me on the shoulder and then walked back into her room. SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!! LOL..
Just Finished Vocals for New Single Coming in February...
I wrote the song "Love Came Down" Spring of 2009. We recorded it for the new "Love Came Down" acoustic CD/DVD which will come out in January. I wanted to do two versions of this song; one stripped down acoustic and one with the full band for church worship and radio play. This single will be a free download in February and I am excited, since its my first studio recording. I've only done live stuff to date so this is a new thing for me.
