Good Music rocks my world
Last night I went out with my big sister and her fiance {still a new word to all of us} and we watched one incredible show.
It was at Jammin Java, possibly the best venue around and the best show I've ever been to. It was soo good I think I had goosebumps the entire time. Ernie Halter and Melissa Polinar are simply genius and their use of lyrics and notes is soo amazing it could make you cry. It made want to never take my ability to hear forgranted, nor take my guitar or voice for granted though I'm not that great with either, music is music and it's wonderful.
Both their sets were amazing they honestly couldn't have picked better songs. Like this song, Lighthouse. It's one of my favorite Ernie Halter songs, and it's the last track his Starting Over album so sometimes I intentionally listen through the whole album just to get to this song. It was the perfect closer for their show and though I did take pictures, the music is way more important.

Let us fall more in love with You
Week after week it's been a rollercoaster ride. I've practically been living out of my suitcase, packing and unpacking and repacking again, always on the move ... always on the go. I've been in serious need of some 'down time' and I finally got some. Instead of resting in bed and at home, I got to rest in the Lord and in His words, and fall more in love with Him as I went off to Fall Retreat with my Tim and Cru. I've never felt more rested and though there's tons more to share, I still have California adventures to blog about. PTL for awesome adventures and for rest.
I heart Shannon Curtis.
A little less than a year ago at a Ernie Halter show I made a new friend and fell love with her amazing songs and lyrics. Shannon Curtis is not only super talented but she is such a super sweetheart as well. It's not wonder her songs are so lovely, because Shannon Curtis is simply just that, lovely.
In less than a week's time, July 14th to be exact, Shannan's new EP "Why Don't You Stay?" will be released on Shannon's own Saint Cloud Records label ... and I could not be more excited for her. Her new EP, "Why Don't You Stay?," was produced by Charlie Peacock {Switchfoot, Sixpence None the Richer, Amy Grant}, and mixed by Joe Zook {One Republic, Modest Mouse, Katy Perry}. But that's not all the exciting news that's going on with Shannon this Summer.
Shannon is again packing up her little Jetta and touring this summer. So you ... YES YOU ... you better go out and catch one of her shows!!! She's even more lovely live, and if you see her give her a hug for me and tell her its from Ica!
I'm sad to say I'll be missing her one and only VA show this summer, but I'm spreading the news and hope some of you come out to see her. I'm certain you too will fall in love with her awesome music. Her songs are as sweet and gentle as forehead kisses, and who doesn't love a forehead kiss? Hehe.
Shannon, you are awesome!
Best wishes this summer!

AHHH!!! I won't lie, My heart skipped a beat while listening to this. Melissa Polinar and Tony Lucca, together = perfection.
I want you back

This video has been along time coming, but sadly there is no time more appropriate than this to finally share it. This has got to be one of my favorite songs to play on the geetar {though I thoroughly suck} and almost a month ago me and my girlfriend Hopie finally sat down and jammed to it. It's only now, we've gotten a chance to get it up. Awesome song, awesome artist, there won't be another MJ. Sad day.
Check out more Hopie !!!
None but Jesus
In the chaos in confusion
I know You're sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will
When You call I won't delay
This my song through all my days
I know You're sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will
When You call I won't delay
This my song through all my days
Treat her Right
I spend the day with a girlfriend of mine this week after a photoshoot at a candy company {that I will soon update about} ... and she happens to be good friends with The Makepeace Brothers ... these guys are AMAZING. They just toured with Jason Mraz and Justin Kredible for the Music, Magic and Makepeace tour. Take a listen. {though this is only Finian, one of the brothers}
These guys are something else. Another great track is El Pastel. LOVE IT!
Charmed life
I finally watched the Grey's season finale, which was awesome .... and seconds into the episode I was tapping along to the opening song {or at least what i thought was the opening .. i missed a bit in the beginning that I didn't know I missed}. It sounded familiar then when the chorus kicked in I knew who it was. The awesomely talented Joy Williams. I simply adore her album.
