So 2020 had been a year. One I hope we never have to experience again. I’m writing you because I have had quite a bit of people reach out and ask if there are ways they can help or support us “Click here if you feel led to help”. I wish I could say we were fine and didn’t need help but I would be lying if I was to say this. This season has been one of the most challenging seasons of our lives. I make most of my income off of touring but as you all know touring has evaporated into thin air because of the lack of social gatherings. This has put us in a tricky position. I have done music for the last 20 years. I have been picking up odd jobs here and there to survive along with my wife doing the same. We have 3 kids, one we had back in Dec of 2019. Juggling kids and strange jobs and keeping our sanity has become our daily fight. Music is my passion and always has been. The fact that I have been able to do music this long for me still feels like a gift and one i’m truly thankful for. I miss touring and being able to hang with all the beautiful people who exist outside our daily lives and truly hope I get to continue to keep giving my passions and gifting set on the road ahead. I am constantly writing and trying to be creative but this is becoming more and more complicated. I have been working on a new project as well but again the current season we are in has made it where I have put most of it on hold until we can figure out how to navigate 2020. I am completely independent at this point which feels freeing but also comes with a ton of new challenges because I don’t have anyone funding my creative process any more. I will be attaching a song at the bottom of this blog that is one of the songs that I have been working on. Its not my favorite song on the project but one that I feel is truly relevant to our lives in the here and now. I wrote this song a while back as I grieved the loss of a friend but didn’t realize how applicable it would become. The song is called “Hope & Faith”. I can’t thank you enough for supporting my music and aspirations over the years. Even if listening is all you can do I thank you for even that. Streaming the songs and sharing them with others helps us to continue to grow and to give my gifting set. My goal has always been to help others and I believe art and music is one way of doing this. Still holding faith that God takes care of his children.
