Hey everybody, I’m so looking forward to playing in my hometown this week. The show is sold out for now but I will be back in the area later this year!
If you haven’t done so already, would you zip over to Kickstarter and support the new music! Help me launch it! And please don’t wait until the end! Every dollar counts.

Our Kickstarter campaign for The Weight of Glory EP is off to a fantastic start. 5k in the first few days! Thank you!
There are so many great quotes from Lewis in his 1942 sermon that became an essay. Lewis’ ideas here, along with Saint Paul in 2 Corinthians of course, are the bedrock of the song lyrics. Here are a few other great quotes from Lewis’ “The Weight of Glory.”
“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.”
“Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses. If he is your Christian neighbour he is holy in almost the same way, for in him also Christ vere latitat—the glorifier and the glorified, Glory Himself, is truly hidden.”
Finally!!!
You can download the new EP right now AND help me launch it into the world at the same time! This kickstarter campaign will run for only 60 days from April 15th to June 14th. It’s all or nothing which means either I raise the total funds needed by the end of the campaign or we’re back to 0. You can do it!
Go HERE to get involved- and if you want to get some Weight of Glory swag, or to book a show, just up your reward tier.
Your support is essential. Thanks for believing in me!

I’m so excited to share that six new songs are coming your way very soon. Mindy and I just returned to Florida from a week of tracking new music in Nashville with Artist/Producer Jeremy Casella and a team of fantastic musicians.
We recorded six songs. Five are brand new, written in the past couple of years. One is a song I wrote a ten years ago that just hasn’t fit on any other projects until now. I can’t describe how fun it is to be releasing these new pieces into the world!
The last time I recorded completely original material was 2013. In between I have released two Hymn projects. So, this new EP is really exciting for me. A lot has happened since the “Count The Stars EP” was funded by you via Kickstarter and released: I was ordained an Episcopal Priest, I became an LMHC, I celebrated the birth of two daughters, I grieved the death of both my parents, and I played more away dates around the United States than ever before. What is life?!
So, this new EP is about responsibility, growth, home, doubt, reconciling with our past, and the centrally of the Christian Faith in the midst of life’s chaos.
The producer, Jeremy Casella- a compelling artist in his own right- helped me make these songs a reality. He booked the musicians and caught my vision for the songs from the beginning. This project marked the beginning of a new, sweet, friendship for me with Jeremy!
One of the fun discoveries in the making of this project was just how many unrecorded songs I have. Choosing the songs for this EP made me realize that I have a lot of work ahead of me in the coming years, if I want to get all of my music on tape for others to hear. It’s a fun and challenging dream that I plan to make come true!
