I saw a great concert last night at Tennessee Temple University featuring Sarah Groves, Bebo Norman and Fernando Ortega. All three of them make beautiful music and it was a nice fit to put them all together in concert. None of them are really rock acts but more laid back and acoustic. So the concert was pretty much like that. It was one of the more reserved concerts I’ve been to and that’s necessarily a bad thing. It’s kind of… Read more

As usual, D-Day was pretty slow for most everyone. Since the Doves are like the prom or something, everyone cuts out of Nashville around noon and artists are hardly anywhere to be seen. I did have an early interview with rock group Pillar after I left the Word New Music Seminar (where I heard from Big Daddy Weave, BarlowGirl, Mark Shultz and more).

Amy’s is finished and Nichole’s is almost there.When I was a teenager, Amy’s Unguarded was the first Christian tape I ever bought. My stereo was filled with the current pop music and when “Find A Way” hit mainstream radio, I thought “if that’s good enough for Star 94, it’s good enough… Read more
