Adventure!!!
The last 7 years of my life really have been an adventure. I’ve joined a band and left my home country with 4 days notice, seen 49 of the 50 American states (Hawaii is on the list for this year), been to 9 countries, gotten married, bought a house, and had countless incredible experiences along the way. You could say when you’re in a band, adventure comes with the territory, and that’s definitely...

Revolve Tour 2011
I’m super stoked to be a part of this 2011 Revolve Tour…..
If you’re not familiar with the Revolve Tour, it’s a touring event for teenage girls… put on by Women of Faith. It’s a weekend full of awesome music, speakers, drama, and so much more.
I’m going to be honest…. the first time we signed up for this tour (in 2006), I had no idea what Revolve...

The Secret To Life
Our road manager, Josh, wrote this note this morning, and I thought it was awesome…. So I wanted to share it….
Josh writes:
My wife tweeted something along the lines of “What’s the secret to life” the other day. There’s a question that you see and forget … . or not. I don’t know if there’s one secret, but I’ve thought of several personal philosophies and here they are:
-Know Yourself: Take...

WatchThere’s incredible flooding in parts of Australia right now…. It’s just unbelievable to watch. This video was shot in Toowoomba, where we were for Easterfest last year… It’s crazy.
I hear the flooding is headed for Brisbane. We spent a few days there last year as well. My heart definitely goes out to the people of Australia right now.

M. Night Shyamalan Has Gotten The Best Of Me →
I’m not sure if you’ve all heard about this or not, but on New Year’s Eve, in Arkansas, about 3,000 blackbirds fell from the sky, dead. Nobody knows why….. then, within 24 hours, news broke of 100,000 fish washing up dead on an Arkansas river. Again, there was no good explanation for it.
Over the course of the last few days, reports have been coming in from all over the...

The Nature of Giving
Our New Years Eve show was a ton of fun….. we were at Winterfest in Lynchburg, VA (I nearly always misspell it as LUNCHberg before correcting myself. I guess I’m hungry.). This is always a good show…. but this time was special in a few ways.
First, it was our last show with our long-time merch guy, Adam Taylor. We originally met him when he was touring with Falling Up back in...

10 Favorite Songs of All Time
Justin Benner challenged me to the daunting task of deciding upon my ten favorite songs of all time. Daunting is definitely the right word.
There are many potential pitfalls when you take on a project of this magnitude….. You want to choose songs that were formative in your life, but also avoid simply making a “this is what I listened to in high school” playlist. It’s...
