Good morning! We just returned from a weekend of shows in DE, MD, and NJ. What an amazing time we had! It’s always fun to see family, but the shows were ridiculously fun too. We had the privilege of opening for Matt Maher in DE and I was so encouraged by him. Honestly, I’ve been …
In January of 2011 my dad and grandpa came to Nashville to help my brother build a studio apartment in his basement. Tyler and I currently rent that apartment and we were recruited to help with the build. I learned quickly that I am no whiz with a hammer, so I retreated upstairs to bake …
Hello! I write to you from a guest room at Williams Baptist College in Walnut Ridge, AR (aka the middle of nowhere). We played to an enthusiastic crowd of students last night. Being here has been quite possibly the most refreshing time we’ve had on this CD release tour. The students are so kind, encouraging, …

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 …

Bruno Jones of the Vespers (who are also releasing a new full length album on April 3rd!) tracked upright bass. …
I’ve mentioned my love for a’cappella music on this blog before. Tyler and I were listening to The Beatles last night and remarking at how awesome Eleanor Rigby would be a’cappella. It made me want to be in a group again just so that I could arrange the song. Anyway, due to my love for …
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 …
