New Project

It's been a few months since I've updated the blog. I thought I'd give y'all the quick rundown. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and just finished that up a few weeks ago. It kept me busy most Saturday's for the past 1 1/2 years though I did fit in a few concerts with some amazing musicians and friends. As most of you know, Lacey and I have a 1 yr old now, and we have been spending as much time as we can with her. It is amazing how fast they grow and especially how quickly they catch on. That has been a top priority in our lives.

We moved to Nashville for a reason, and that was to play music. We have been working with Jason Deere on some idea's back and forth for the past couple months. Lace and I auditioned for CMT's "Can You Duet" show made the top group, but had to bow out because of time constraints and other details. We also got an opportunity to play downtown together at the Tin Roof restaurant. A few weeks ago we finally hit the studio and recorded four tunes that are dynamite. We are not sure when the final product will be ready, but when it is we will let you know. We are very excited about this new project and thank everyone for their continual support.

One Love!

Coming Home

My Grandma passed away this week. She holds a piece of my heart as we have always been very close. She has always been such a supporter of what I've done and especially my musical endeavors. When she was able she never missed a concert and always had a smile and hug waiting for me at the end. She so kindly helped a great deal in my first full length album "Two for the Show." When my Grandpa passed a few years back I wrote a song entitled "Coming Home." It was about how, unbeknown to him or me, he had such a great impact on my life. The song never felt complete because I realized one day that my Grandma and Grandpa were a team. I finished the song this week, four years after I started it and now it finally feels finished.

all things considered, i think i'm doing fine
for what just happened, my life changed on a dime
and in time

CH
i'm coming home, on a train bound glory
i'm coming home, with a book that holds his story
i'm coming home...

V2
i look out the window, it all looks the same
and i am reminded, the laughs on cherry lane
and i'm back again

CH
i'm coming home, on a train bound glory
i'm coming home, with a book that holds his story
i'm coming home...

V3
he is there lying, in his clothes of white
and she stands there crying, holding his hand so tight
loves perfect sight

CH
he's going home, on a train bound for glory
he's going home, with a book that holds his story
he's going home

BR
it's been so long
he's been watching over you
a sweet embrace
and an angels song is heard

and we all cry
cause we'll miss her smile so warm
but we all smile
to see her safely home

CH
and they are home. plant a garden tell your stories
they are home, with a love that's waiting for me
they are home

i'm coming home...

top desert island disc's


i'm playing a show at the sandy amphitheater with sam payne and the rest of his project. sam sent us an email going over different ideas and such for the show. he also asked for everyone to submit their desert island disc. sam is going to get each of our favorite records, put them together in a box set and do a drawing for them at his show. i thought that was the coolest idea and it obviously got me thinking about my top 10 favorite albums, and in no particular order. hmmm....

1. Crash - Dave Matthews Band (this was the album that will be in the sandy amp. box set)
2. Red on Blonde - Tim O'brien
3. Drops of Jupiter - Train
4. Nickel Creek - Nickel Creek
5. The Score - The Fugees
6. Drive - Bela Fleck
7. Live in Charleston - Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder
8. Manzanita - Tony Rice
9. Busted Stuff - Dave Matthews Band
10. Legend - Bob Marley
