What A Week
So check this out. This week is absolutely insane and I’m about to try to break down everything that is going on in my corner of the world. No doubt I will forget some valuable piece of information on this post, but as long as it all gets done in real life we’re good right?
Let’s see. We’ll start with the SkörInc artists that are releasing records today. How’s that sound? Yeah that’s right. Artists. Plural. Four to be specific.
- Fee’s “Hope Rising” releases today complete with one of the best songs I have heard in a long time “Everything Falls”.
- Anthony Evans has a Christmas record released on iTunes today called “What Christmas Means” and will have a brand new site launched within the next week or two. Be on the lookout for that.
- Yancy also has a Christmas record out today called “Have A Fancy Yancy Christmas” also available on iTunes or her site.
- Mr. Todd Agnew is also releasing a record today called NEED available in stores and also on iTunes.
Told you. And that’s just the beginning really. Let’s see, what else?
- Matthew West has a Christmas book coming out called “Give This Christmas Away” and has been working with Veggie Tales to make that something really cool. He’s even got video with Amy Grant.
- Daniel Renstrom has a Christmas record coming out October 27th called ‘On The Incarnation’. And by the way, it’s something you will all want to get. So there’s plenty of SkörInc Christmas music floating around so this year, you’ll have all new stuff.
- Shane & Shane have a new record coming out November 3rd and if it’s anything like the rest of their stuff, you’ll want to pick that up.
- Most of you know that Phil Wickham’s new record “Heaven & Earth” is available for pre-order and with the purchase of the larger package, you are able to download the full record and an acoustic version. An amazing deal if you ask me. And yes, there’s a new site in the works for Phil as well. Be looking for that over the next few weeks.
- The Katina Boys, Natalie and several others are putting on a benefit show tomorrow night for the victims of last week’s Tsunami in Samoa. Anyone in the Nashville/Franklin area should make sure to come out.
Let’s see. Most of you know that this was my last week with Billy Currington, and everything went great with his entire camp. In fact, we’re already in the process of another project with him, and planning on some cool ideas for next year. But with that ending, starts something new. I’m heading back out with the MercyMe boys this week and kicking off their fall tour “An Evening With MercyMe” which will include the Fee guys as well. Along with touring with the MercyMe guys, we’ve started talks of a new site and even more interaction. It’s going to be awesome. I promise. Oh yeah, and there’s The Roadshow. Remember that? 2010 is going to be amazing, but that’s for another post.
Well, like I said, I’m sure there’s more that I am forgetting, but to take the time to think about it now will only set me back even further. So if you were wondering, No, I’m not going to see U2 this week like the rest of the planet. I wish I could, but I’ve got a little bit going on. So let’s hear it. What out of all this stuff are you most excited about?
Live In Concert
I’ve seen a lot of concerts. Most of them I’ve been working at, but before that I tried to go to concerts as much as I could. Obviously when I was younger I was subject to whoever came to town and wasn’t really able to “travel” to shows and even now it’s not really cost effective to be a traveling fan. But with all this U2 talk going around it got me thinking. What are some bands that you just “have” to see once in your life?
I mean, sure The Beatles would fall in that category for most people. I missed out on that. And I’m sure it’s different for everyone. See, for me, I’d love to see Ben Folds live at least once. Eventually I’d like to see Coldplay, and probably U2 just for the simple fact of seeing them. Damien Rice was one, but Kristin and I went to see him last year. Really other than that, off the top of my head, I can’t think of an artist that it would be absolutely imperative to go see.
So I want to hear your list. What artists do you think it’s absolutely necessary to go see in your lifetime? They don’t have to be these music legends or anything, but maybe they’re just high up on the list of a show you want to see.
Ready? Go.
