Some treats for ya.

Gathering Prayer Guitar

Guitar 1

Guitar 2

Well, since Tumblr is stupid and won’t let me post more than one audio file, I’ll just have to put links to them…

I got bored and made some treats for you.

The first track is something I did for my good buds back home at The Gathering Network. They can use this this track during prayer times and it’ll be like I’m just back at home!

Second & third tracks are me just messing around. I’ve noticed just since moving, that I’ve been quickly developing my playing skill. 

Hope you enjoy.

Have about 4.8

Phot post.

Hi.

Some buds came to Nashville this week for meetings and such. We got to hang a few times and they stayed at my apartment. It was great fun.

We went to Portland Brew one night cause I knew Coffee Master Ray would love it. He did

Last night around 11pm, Dalton & I decided we were gonna go track a demo up at my work, which we’ve coined, “The Punch 2” after our favorite KC studio, The PUNCH. Well, we initially decided to just track some acoustic guitars and some vocals. Nothing too involved….

Turned out we got ourselves in deep and worked real hard on an incredible tune. We stayed and worked on her till 630 AM!

Ol’ Dalton had to be at the airport at 8 AM to fly home so we just decided to pull an all nighter. The song turned out great (can’t show you yet. She’s still top secret.) and after headin to my APT to pack up Dalton’s stuff, we went out for a little 630 AM breakfast at McDonalds. Classic style.

For some reason, this next photo was A LOT funnier at 630 AM after a night of no sleep. We were pretty slap happy.

Alright, have about 26 since it’s the weekend.

RYAN CORK!

My bestest friend Ryan A. Cork came to Nashville for a very short 24 hour trip. He flew down for a shoot/interview for work and since we work for the same company, we got to hang! It was a lot of fun. It felt good to feel at home with my bud again. 

Anyways, things are great in Nashvegas. I LOVE this place.

It’s really easy to get discouraged but I really have no reason to because things are slowwwly happening and I’m VERY thankful for that.

Hope you have around 19.

“Castle” in a car commercial!?

Today we found out that our old tune, “Castle” is being pitched for a Subaru™ Car Commercial.

Pretty cool huh? 

I’m a little bit pumped. Don’t wanna jinx anything but how cool would it be to have your song on a car commercial on national television? Not to mention (and I’m not trying to be cocky or anyting) it’d be really nice to pay off some bills and stuff…just sayin.

Well, pray that it happens cause that would be a huge answer to prayer!

THANKS and have about 7.

New TSS music coming very soon.

Today Donny (Noffy) and I recorded a new TSS single. It is VERY great and I’m very excited to say that we are releasing this digitally, very soon!

It was recorded in one full day at Premier Studios Nashville. We jimmy-rigged a makeshift studio with vocal booths and everything…For what it is…it sounds pretty great. Can’t wait for everyone to hear it!

I won’t give away the track name or artwork (yes artwork is done already!) quite yet, but I did want to let you all know that it’s all in the works and close to being done too!

We’re most likely lookin at about June 1st for a release date. So everybody get your $0.99 ready and your mouse finger ready to click “BUY!”

Thanks and have about 5 great ones.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Still don’t know a lot about this guy. He’s from Nashville which usually means you’re good in my book. BUT. He IS great. 

Haven’t even made it through the whole album yet and this song just killed me.

Say what you want. He’s very poppy but the writing is GREAT and production is even BETTER. And DON’T forget…The guitar lives my whole life.

Have about 2.

A great place.

I live in Nashville, TN and unlike Kansas City, there is a restaurant here called Which Wich. It is now quickly becoming one of my favorite places. I cannot stop eating there! This is how it works:

You look at the menu and there are like 10 categories…each category has a different meat or style…so for example, #1 is “Turkey” and there are like 3 or 4 different types of turkey sandwhiches. #7 is italian so you’ve got like 4 or 5 different italian style meats to pick from.

You then grab a brown paper bag that corresponds to the matching category and a red sharpie from a little bucket…Next you circle the sandwhich from that category that you’d like to eat. I really like the Club which is in the “classics” category. #9.

Then you just work your way down the brown bag and circle, your mayo, mustard, lettuce, pickle, onions…all that stuff. I LOVE that they have crispy onions you can put on it…and parmesan and oil & vinegar and jalepenos…it’s just great!

Then you write your name at the bottom and take it to the counter and pay! All sandwhiches are $5 which is a great deal! Some toppings add a $1 to the price but I don’t ever get those. I get a water cause its healthy and cheap and then they make your sandwhich and when its done they yell “Hot wich for Nathan!” and you eat it!

I love it!

Here is a pic from when my big bro Matt came to town and I took him to Which Wich.

 

Alright, have about 8…
