I played “There is a Reason” this morning at Alison’s parents’ church. I enjoyed it.
I’ve said many times before that I believe a church is usually a terrible place for a rock and roll concert. In a traditional church building sound bounces all around, so drums are a mush, lighting has to fit […]

We’re staying with Alison’s folks for a few days here in Durham, NC. They have a ton of books, all over the place. I love it. I never bring anything to read, I just peruse until I find something interesting, and I’m rarely disappointed.
Last night I found G.K. Chesterton’s “The Ball and […]

The festival I’m playing on Sunday, in Cary, NC, just announced some good news and some bad news.
The good news? The festival is now free, and Glen Phillips gets to play longer.
The bad news? Marc Cohn and Mat Kearney won’t be there anymore.
The schedule has changed a bit, but […]

So I’m kind of excited. This weekend I’m playing a solo set at a festival where a few other friends will be playing as well. Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, Alli Rogers… Should be a good time.
Oh, and Mat Kearney’s headlining so Cason, Will, Tyler and Paul will be there. […]

Well… That went a LOT better than I’d expected. I’d say it was actually one of my favorite Caedmon’s shows yet. It wasn’t “perfect” but it was a lot of fun. The crowd was absolutely amazing and they let me feel really natural while singing the songs I wasn’t as comfortable […]

I’m in Salem/Roanoke, VA today with Caedmon’s. We go on in about two and half hours. If you’re not aware of this, there are typically three singers in the band, a married couple, Cliff and Danielle, and then me. I probably sing a quarter of the songs at this point.
Well, […]

I’ve only met Shaun Groves two times, both at the Nashville airport, but his blog is one of the very few I read every day. His son Gresham is in the hospital while Shaun is heading home from a weekend of cancelled shows to be with him. They could use your prayers. […]

I’ve been sitting here playing chords, generally in the key of C, on the guitar for over an hour now. Trying to figure it all out.
Life gets so busy sometimes. Most of the time. Almost all the time. And then you get these moments where it stops. You look at […]

Had a great time with Andy P and the boys today. That record is really sounding amazing and I was glad I was home for a few days and able to be a part of it.
So I’ve got an idea I want to throw out. The Fall touring season hasn’t filled up like […]

A nice interview I did a few weeks ago showed up yesterday (CLICK HERE to read). He asked some good questions and got me thinking. I appreciate that.
I just got to the studio and am going to pay some bills and take care of random stuff for a little bit. Andrew Peterson […]
