New HYMNS Project

HYMNScoverwork1crop

I’m so thrilled by the response I've been getting to my newest project. I love hymns and have included several as I've done concerts over the past few years. I put these together with some great input from you all about what classic hymns really move you. It’s apparent to me that you all connect with these songs in ways that are completely different than any other music. I understand. Having grown up in the church, there’s a sense of honoring my heritage by recording these songs. But more than that, there is a richness to the lyrics that can’t be topped by anything I could come up with on my own. Click here to stream or download the whole project!

New Single To Christian Radio

EarlyRise

To start off the new year, we are releasing a new single to Christian radio! It's the first single taken from my new Hymns For The Journey project and it's the one that I love jogging to. I always wonder if artists listen to their own music... Well, in my case, I can unashamedly say yes! It gives me energy and reminds of the beautiful story that God is writing with my life...with all of our lives. "Holy, Holy, Holy" is one of the original worship tunes, and celebrates the triune God. I hope you enjoy my new version. Please let your local radio station know that you'd like to hear it on their station. And let me know if you do!

Another Awesome Christmas Tour

UTURN D

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to this year's Hope of Christmas Tour. Each date was a different kind of show, unique as a um, snowflake? Seriously, every concert was in a different kind of venue, with a different experience for me and the audiences. Thanks to all the venues that hosted a show in Omaha, Blair, Nisswa, Plymouth, Minneapolis, and Rochester. I covered 2600 miles on the trek and loved that I got to spend some good time with my family up in Minnesota. Still honored that several TV stations continue to play "The Perfect Gift" - as more and more people are connecting with my song "Emmanuel (You Are With Me)" as a result.

Article About "The Perfect Gift"

Here's a link to an interesting interview about "The Perfect Gift" how it addresses the Nativity scene controversy, as well as a bit about my acting stuff. Click here to read it!

Rub-A-Dubbin In My Tub

Well, here's something interesting from my past. This was one of the first on-camera jobs I got after moving to Nashville. It was a long, incredibly hot day in Nashville. I think I actually got a bit of heat stroke, if I remember right. And because of that, they put a crew guy under the hood of the car for that particular shot, while I sat inside with a cold washcloth on my forehead! Other than that, yep...it's all me.
