Merry Christmas! Download Discounts

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope this season, this year, fills your hearts with a new-found or renewed love. May you all remember the season’s true meaning as you gather with friends and family, exchange gifts, and remember the year gone by.

As a sign of my thanks for all of you, this year, I’m discounting all of my albums on Bandcamp through the end of the year. If you haven’t downloaded all of my records, complete your collection this season—or better yet, give one as a gift. (Bandcamp now has e-gift cards.):

Also available now for download is Restoration Project’s Firm Foundation Volume 1 EP, exclusively on Bandcamp until the official release in February:

Thank you all so much!

Kickstarter Project Launches 8/9

I am so excited to announce the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for a group I’ve had the privilege of being a part of for over five years now. Restoration Project is a hymn-writing collective that writes new, and restores old, Christian hymns. My friends and I like to say that we are “making hymns new again.”

Using Kickstarter.com, we hope to raise $10,000 to write, record, manufacture, and distribute a new series of “Sunday School hymns” based on many of the originals still sung in churches today. The minimum two-album series will feature songs like “This Little Light of Mine,” “Jesus Loves Me,” and “Michael Row Your Boat Ashore.”

Just last week, we finished up our project video (below).
