I, Tyler, occasionally share bits of this story at shows. Here’s more of the whole thing. – – – – – – – – – I grew up in the Episcopal church. I thought God was some large, distant entity, more of an idea than anything else. My mom was the spiritual one in our …
Today is the day! I don’t know if I can adequately express how excited we are to share Open Your Doors with you. Seriously. We began writing in earnest for this record back in July (Skyline Hill and Little Balloon were written over a year ago…crazy!) and it’s been thrilling to see how the songs …
Well hello everyone. We played our Open Your Doors release show in Nashville last night. It was beautiful. It’s always fun to see friends at shows. A bit intimidating, but very fun. 🙂 It’s been fantastic to hear some great feedback about Open Your Doors! It’s always a little scary putting new music out there …
A few months ago, we decided to record a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s song The Sound of Silence. We had some friends over to sing and play. Paul Zimmerman-Clayton laid down some trumpet parts. Bruno Jones of the Vespers (who are also releasing a new full length album on April 3rd!) tracked upright bass. …

Ah, it’s been a while hasn’t it? I’ve slowed a bit in my reading of the Narnia Series and have just finished The Horse and His Boy and began Prince Caspian last night. I think Prince Caspian might be my favorite thus far. We shall see. We have lots of news today. First, we are …
Good morrow dear friends. I’ve been reading the Chronicles of Narnia and wishing I could be British and live in Narnia and ride on Aslan’s back like Lucy and Susan. We took a little trip to Portland on Tuesday to hang out with the students at George Fox University. We shared a bit of our …
New song! New song! Aren’t you excited? I am. Seriously. We snuck upstairs to my brother’s living room on Tuesday and recorded a live version of one of the songs from the new record. The song is called “Abide.” Enjoy! Oh – and we have some shows coming up. Details: 2/8, Newberg, OR, George Fox …
Good morning. I had resolved not to bake much this January. But…it’s cold. And I’m home. And I love it so much. Ultimately my tummy trumped any sort of resolve I thought I had and I’ve been baking a lot. We had some friends over for dinner the other day and I decided to make …
I had such great blogging aspirations this year. My goal was to blog every Tuesday and Thursday, one day with a recipe and another with something fun that’s going on in our world. Alas, I have failed. I have not given up however, and while today isn’t Tuesday or Thursday, I will blog. We spent …
