Posted November 9 | Leave a Comment
About a month and a half ago I found out that some friends of ours band "Calls From Home" were calling it quits.

I went to a show on Feb. 18th that featured two of my favorites, Anberlin and Emery, along with a currently "Huge band" by the name of Hawthorne Heights. I saw this show in Tulsa at the historic Cain's ballroom(awesome venue, we've played in Tulsa just not at Cain's). None the less, I'm listening to Anberlin completely blow the crowd away with "Time and Confusion" and I turn to… read more
