Remember last week when we saved our pennies? How many of you got it? What did you think? Honestly I still have it in my car and listen to it often.

Well Daniel’s Blog is officially up and running. We are still working out a few kinks, but Daniel has started posting on it and promises to regularly so make sure to subscribe. I think it will be a fun process to see his blog grow from this community into his very own community. Daniel has been a great guy to work with and I am as excited to see how this blog affects his career as I am to read it and get to know his music better.

So head over to Daniel’s Blog and say hey.

Go on… get...

Did you save your pennies? You need five hundred and ninety four of them for today.

A few weeks ago I got an email coming from the contact page of this blog. It was asking a few marketing questions and some internet(y) questions and introducing me to a new artist. I’d never heard of Daniel before, but answered the questions the best I could, with my opinions on blogging and marketing and all that. After three or four more emails Daniel sent me a copy of his EP to check out. It took me a day or two to get to it, but when I had time to sit and listen to it, I loved it.

Now, I’m no professional music critic by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel like I know when I hear something that has the potential to go somewhere, and this, in my opinion is it. Daniel’s got a clean acoustic sound, with vocals that remind me of early Derek Webb, you know, before he was mad at stuff.

Daniel and I emailed back and forth and after I listened to his album a few times, I knew that I wanted to do what I could to help out with his online presence. I read a bit about him and through talking to him, I found out that he is a worship leader from North Carolina, and isn’t able to travel as much as other artists. I am by no means some online guru guy, but I love the idea of great artists succeeding and using every means possible to do that. We are currently in the process of setting Daniel up a blog, and have been talking about some other ideas aside from traveling a ton.

So here’s the project. Take the five dollars and ninety four cents that you saved this week, and buy Daniel’s record on iTunes. Listen to it, then come back here and let’s talk about it. Think of the comments section as a place to review the record. I know there are plenty of “music folks” reading this blog, (Seth, Euphrony, Kat, Mark, Randy, Carlos, Jeremy, Michael, Chad, Spence and the list goes on) and I want to get this record to as many people as possible this weekend. Daniel’s music is going somewhere, and we can be a part of getting it there.

So that’s the project. It’s pretty easy. Spend five dollars and ninety four cents, listen to some good music, then come here and review it.

Ready? Go.
