Let's build some houses...
I haven’t been this nervous in years. But, tonight I arrive in Atlanta, GA and start work tomorrow on my new solo record. I had the privilege of co-writing this record with my good friend, Chris Perot. Extremely excited to have my friend, Matt Goldma,n produce this as well.
I’m walking in a bit blind. A few demos and some other ideas. I get to create something organic almost from...

Alyx's Song (Houses)
A few months back, a friend of mine and I began co-writing my new solo record. I was very sure and equally unsure on what I wanted this record to sound like.
It’s identity is finally coming together. I’d like to share a song with you, my friends. This is merely a demo, but it will give you an idea of the general direction of the new record.
Can’t wait to get it recorded...

Where is your faith?
I feel a need to respond to a vicious rumor going around that I have ‘denounced [my] faith’.
I guess the way to appropriately answer this question without going on a defensive tirade about how ridiculous that accusation is, would be to raise a question, ‘What is your definition of faith?’. And furthermore, ‘Where is YOUR faith?’
Personally, I don’t...

Finally got this record off the ground. After going through 4 different demo sessions in North Atlanta, 2 days of preproduction in East Atlanta, and 2 days of prepoduction in the mountainous small holland like german town of Helen, GA, we have started tracking our record.
We’ve basically been going in the last two mornings, tracked drums until 6pm and then moving to bass. It’s taken...

oh, the wonders of technology
With a MacBook Pro, a Blue USB Snowball Microphone, and a Samsung Flat Panel TV, we joined with fans all over the country last night for a live, interactive set. Literally, sitting in a living room with some acoustic guitars, playing some songs, and chatting with folks as they asked questions and even played some requests. It was heaps of fun. It was great to interact with some fans that we...

You might feel like you’re made of water and that if you step over a crack that you’ll just dissolve into it. And it sort of feels like your heart relocated to the soles of your feet, carrying all the weight instead of simply floating inside you. But your heart is still beating. You’re still alive.

Am I a Christian artist or not?
I probably get asked this question more than any other question. The second being, “Who is your biggest influence, musically?” The answer to these questions are actually intertwined.
I grew up listening to Christian music and Christian music only. “Secular” music wasn’t allowed in my house. So, there was no Nirvana, Marilyn Manson, Green Day, The Beatles, The...

There’s a boy on the couch with a white computer in his lap
He’s trying to find out what he’s gonna do after last night
Was that too much? Or just right?
