Thanks to everyone who came out to the show down in Tucson at GJ's Christian Coffee House. We had a great time. It was so fun, it sounded great, and we couldn't have asked for a better reception. Thank you to GJ's and Dale and the whole gang. Your hospitality was wonderful. The other bands and musicians did an awesome job. I'm sorry we didn't have all our CDs available that night.

It was a trimmed down team (acoustic/electric/and drums) but it still held ground as one rockin' worship band. Our church has come a long way since we've begun and it's fun to see how we have developed. I'm looking forward to the next few months. We begin our new evening service Sept 10th at 6pm. It's going to be even m… read more

Well, I'm just kickin back. I'm enjoying my vacation, trying not to work too hard. I'm taking advantage of the time to do a little song writing and update my webpages/Myspace/purevolume and matthewcasteel.com. I think I'll throw on some flip flops and head out to the local Christian coffee shop with my guitar and laptop maybe play a little, write a litttle and enjoy a cup o' smoothie (since I'm not a big coffee fan) who knows. Today is wide open. I'll see what the wife is up to and the ki… read more
