Looking for something to do tonight and somewhere near Hendersonville? Come check out The Buzz and hear me play some music. Mmmaybe even some new stuff š
No one: why do you get so hype for Book Bingo?
Me: Because those teachers gave up a night to serve their community. Because life is too short to not be hyped for the intense drama of Book Bingo. Because I want my kinds to love all the adventures in life, even when they take place in a school gym. Because celebrating is fun, especially when people are involved. Because Iām the grandson of an English professor. Because celebrating the little things reminds me of oh so many good things. And, because itās fun.
Hereās to friends who keep inviting.
Hereās to pub-subs and spicy pad thai and not having allergic reactions.
Hereās to conferences that give a reason go.
Hereās to new friends, to high-fives and gracious hospitality.
Hereās to remembering and rejoicing. To desperate and expectant voices raised together. To welcoming and loving and belonging.
Hereās to hope.
Hereās to the One who was, who is, who is coming again.
I was talking with a buddy recently who is ahead of me in years. We were talking about all the things that weāve started and then stopped for one reason or another. By the end of the conversation, I felt pretty motivated to keep going on a lot of things, especially working on this new song (š³šš).
So today, Iām going to not quit.
Nine days left!!! If you havenāt backed Sully Brightās project yet, there is still time. Heās halfway to making it happen and you can be a part of the other half that makes it happen! Every little bit helps!

Darling, Wake Up Sully Bright Studio Record
Friends! If you havenāt heard Sully Bright yet, let me introduce him to you. I have known him for several years now and have loved being his friend and watch him grow. He is such a talented songwriter and musician. His lyrics and melodies are tender and earnest and every time he has a new song I get giddy when I get to listen to it.
He has a project on Kickstarter and needs our help. Please back his project. You wonāt be disappointed.
Sully Bright, you make me want to be a better songwriter. Keep up the amazing work!

Each Christmas Eve, everyone in my family gets a new book or two and we tell our kids they can stay up as late as they want. I know, I know; we are some crazy party people what with our books and reading and all. We all have come to love it and look forward to it each year. This is my book for this year and I canāt wait to get under the covers and start into it.
Whatever traditions you do or do not have, whether you are spending this Christmas alone or with friends or with family or both, may this time bring you greater joy and rest. Peace and goodwill to all and to all a goodnight.
Are you looking for something to do tonight? Iāll be at Banfield Gallery from 5:30 to 6:30 singing some songs and enjoying the beautiful art and lights. Why not come down and check it all out!
If you havenāt tried Firebeard Coffee Roasters yet, you are missing out. Point blank: some of the best coffee Iāve had in a long time. On par or better than the stuff I got at Disney World. Full of flavor and nuance. Try them. You wonāt regret it!
If you know, you know.
Thanks Florida. There is nothing quite like your sunrises or sunsets. I enjoyed the time I had with you and glad for the memories new and old.
Hello North Carolina. There is nothing like the golden sun setting on the Blue Ridge Mountains and burning sunrise shining on the flowers in the backyard. Itās good to be home.

Also, what's the best way to celebrate? Asking for a friend š
I have no idea what inspired my daughter to write this or give it to me or what inspired my wife to make sure I could see it at my desk. But I sure am glad they did.

One thing I've loved about this song is all the stories people share with me after hearing it. Which makes me wonder: what are the top five songs that make you want to share your story?

Only six weeks until it's out! Go pre-save it!
Friends, I am super excited.
TLDR: Brothers (Radio Version) will be out on September 17th!
It was would be easy for me to wax philosophical about this song or what it's been like to go through the whole process. And probably I will at some point. But for now, I just can't wait to share this with you. 44 days and counting!
Ted Skolits thanks for all the help. Canāt wait to do it again!
Psssstā¦. Over here!

Hey friends! There is still time to support my Kickstarter. If youāve been waiting or are like me and keep thinking āI should do thatā, now is the time!
Hey friends! Thank you so much for supporting my Kickstarter. It means so much to me. I canāt wait to move forward with this project and make something awesome!
And if you havenāt had a chance to check the Kickstarter out, good news: there is still time!! Check it out and consider supporting it!
If you were wondering what it is that I want to re-record, you can find the acoustic-at-home versions any where you listen to music! There will be some changes in the process, but the bones and spirit of the song will remain.
Only 26 days left to help it happen!
