Quick Update!

         Its been a crazy adventure so far in 2015. Tons of studio adventures, traveling, tax madness, forming goals for the year, and discovering my city, Austin, TX. What's taken place in the past few months has been hectic and overwhelming to a degree I'm not familiar with. A lot of time spent planning for the days ahead and not being able to sink into the present moments. Finding a healthy balance between the two is the current goal. I'm learning how to be less focused on foreseeing the future and enabling it instead. Not to mention God graciously making things work for my good in spite of me. Thats good news for today.

- Just a couple things on my mind worth setting free. -

         I've been co-producing an album for Stephen Miller (a Worship Leader & Recording Artist from Austin, TX) the past couple months. Everything is in place for his album, 'Liberating King', to release May 18th. Had so much fun working on this album. It was an interesting process of learning more deeply people I've worked with for years as we envisioned the heart of this album together, which shaped how it sonically evolved. Would love for anyone and everyone to take a listen to it once it releases!

         Right after the release of the album, I'll hit the road for a quick tour with Stephen Miller and Citizens & Saints. Dates and ticket info are available on either band's site listed below.

         I've done quite a bit of traveling this April. Mondays-Wednesdays I was working from home, and Thursdays-Sundays I was traveling. I loved the rhythm of this schedule. It left me time to have community with my friends at home, while also connecting with those i love playing with on the road. Special thanks to the team at Grace STL Music for having me for their Easter services, Charlie & Jill LeBlanc for some dates in Orlando and D.C., Stephen Miller for good vibes in Portland. Grateful to know you all!

- An update on gear I've been loving lately and the tour coming up soon. Thats all for now folks. -

God Bless,
