New Music Project

14 May

I’ve started a new worship music project with my good friend and music partner Melanie Sturgeon. These are the first of many music videos which will feature us trading leads and harmonizing. I’ll be playing most of the instruments, but won’t be showing them all on screen at the same time as in past videos. It’s a lot of work and a lot of the time I’m not always playing them in one take. We’ll have guests like Nate Christensen on guitar join in on the recordings. My hope is to release 1-2 videos a month and we’ll be doing some location recordings and different venues. Enjoy!
