Tour Date Change!

Hey there – just as an update – the Dallas, Georgia show originally scheduled for Friday the 16th has been rescheduled for Monday the 19th – so (re)mark your calendars – sorry for the late notice!

532 miles!

That’s how many miles we traveled today… So all of us in the bus had some good quality bonding time. My day started w/ a hug from Boone (Decemberadio’s drummer), not once but twice in a ROW, he loves me … Then I ate lunch, took a little nap after that, a little catching up on work, and then the best part of the travel was playing Euchre (I think I spelled that right, its a card game), w/ Dave and Lindsey the light masters, check them out at www.uplighttech.com. Then we’re spending the rest of the night at a Kroger’s parking lot, YAY! Please check out today’s verse that I read it’s 1 Peter 2:15-16. I Love ya’ll and God Bless!!

Drifter Tour Update

Hey everyone,

The Drifter tour is going great so far even though its allot of hard work setting up and tearing down. Its always worth the work, especially when the people share how they were blessed with the event that night. We really enjoy the great company we have on this tour. All of the bands involved are such great people to hang out with as well as to work with. It just makes the journey allot more enjoyable when you have great guys to work with. We have been on tour for more than 2 weeks now and so far things have been going great! We have enjoyed all the people that we have come in contact with, and we really appreciate all of you who came out to the shows; you make the concert enjoyable. There is still a couple of weeks left on the tour, and I’m sure it will be just as amazing as the previous shows. Hope to see you on our next appearance.

See you soon,
Ben

We Finally Got a Break in Nashville!

Well, it’s not what most bands are looking for when they go to Nashville, but I just love being in the outdoors.  We got a day off while we were down in the Franklin area, and so we decided to go visit this park called Radnor Lake Park.  If you happen to be around the Nashville area, you should definitely check this place out.  We went on one of the many trails in the park that took us all the way around the lake.  The 2.5-mile walk was so worth it.  At first there were signs on the trail that tells us of the animals and plants that we might encounter.  I never thought that we would actually get to see them.  We sighted over 30 deer, 100s of squirrels, a snake, a beaver, and a Panda Bear.  No, we didn’t really see a Panda Bear, but oddly enough there was lots of Bamboo trees in many parts of the trail.  Yeah, that’s right, Bamboo.  I should have taken a picture of it to prove it to you, but I guess you’ll just have to come to the park to find out for yourself.  Oh well, I’ll just have Sean post some pictures for you.

Meyer Sound

Hello hello,
First of I want to apologize for not faithfully bloging. Last week, right before the tour with DecembeRadio, we got to hang out with Buford Jones and Paul Giansante (Meyer Sound People) at the Meyer Sound branch in Nashville, TN. For those of you that don’t know, Meyer Sound is a company that makes really, really, really high quality speakers that we use on the road, if you’ve been to our concert, then you’ve probably heard us through Meyer Sound. They don’t only make the worlds best speakers (in my opinion), but they also have the best customer service. These guys took the time out of their busy schedule (with out previous arrangements) to hang out with us, not only one day, but two (2) days! I felt like a kid in a candy store, I had to restrain myself We listen to several different speakers, talked about phase, lo frequency directivity control, frequency response, line array principle, TruShaping EQ, Milo, M3D, M2D, Mica, M’elodie, M1D, 700HP, HD-1… Man I’m a Nerd!! So if you’re a church, or an individual, that’s looking to upgrade or just getting new speakers you need to check out www.meyersound.com. I LOVE MEYER SOUND, YOU GUYS ROCK!!

Watertown, WI

Our 3rd time back in Watertown, WI was an awesome experience! We had a blast hanging out with all the youth and staying up late ’till early morning. Being able to see Clemency (Nashville based band) was a sweet as well. We’ve known them since summer of ‘05 while on a “Will Play for Change” tour. We got there a couple of days prior to the concert, so we could work on fixing some of the equipment that needed some attending to. It was so cool to have some extra days off to hang out with Michelle and her family, along with Mary and Dave. We also got to see Zac and Megan’s soccer game on Saturday morning. Zac’s team won and Megan’s team lost; you can’t always get what you want. Later on that evening, the concert was just great!! I think everyone there enjoyed the event. As always, Watertown is an enjoyable place to be. Until next time!
