...music has always been a part of my life. There were the piano lessons as a little tyke! Then a brief dive into saxophone. Final around 12 years old I landed on this stringed instrument called the guitar. I remember the very first two chords I learned on the guitar...I remember the smell of the guitar case that protect the Fender American Stratocaster I was borrowing...I remember putting on old dc Talk records and air-guitaring like a true rock star. Years later I enrolled at this tiny Christian college in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was there almost four full years. During that time I was actively pursing more and more venues to play "worship" music. And then it all came crashing down...
...I'm not really sure how to describe what happened next. I guess it's best described as life and leave it at that.
...this album is bred out of the bittersweet battle between despair and hope discovered during that time. It is a collection of songs that tell the story of a journey through the emotional, spiritual and physical elements. An offering that tells the tale of someone moving...crawling from the moments where all hope is lost and then finding a Redeemer who is reaching out to heal the hurt.
...this is pleading.
...this is brokenness.
...this is a cross.
...this is being captured.
...this is a confession.
...this is rejoicing.
much love.
