Happy to be a finalist!
Well, we didn’t place in Sunday night’s talent show finals, but were real happy with our performance. They told us an estimated 8,000 people were in attendance, and it was just an honor to make it that far and a real blessing to have the opportunity to sing for so many people. Plus, we made some connections afterwards with people who may want us to come and sing for their...
WE DID IT!
Pardon the late update, but we did it! We won our division of the talent show last night, and move onto the finals TONIGHT! We feel so blessed. The song went as well as it ever has, even during rehearsals, and that’s all we really wanted - to do a performance we were both happy with. But to go onto the finals now is just icing on the cake. Thank you God for this fun opportunity, and please...
Tomorrow's the big day!
Well, in about 24 hours our semi-final round at the state fair will be complete. Please keep an eye on our Twitter feed and blog for more updates. We’ll try to get both audio and video recorded of the performance, for better or worse. And if for worse, I’ll probably tell everyone we DIDN’T tape it :-)
Saturday's the big night!
Well, after what seems like a lifetime, our big moment has finally come. Saturday evening at 6pm we’ll be singing at the Leinie Lodge Bandshell at the fair for the talent show semi-final round. “Nervous” doesn’t really describe it for me, especially since we have so many family/friends coming this time. Still, we’re very excited and blessed to have the...

State fair audition: DONE!
Teresa and I sweated our way (literally and figuratively) through the state fair auditions last night. It was 1 trillion degrees outside, with a billion percent humidity, so it was a toasty one. But our voices/hands kept from melting and we were pretty happy with our performance.
From here, they have auditions all through this week, with the last day being Sunday night. Then early next week...
State Fair auditions: T-5 days
Teresa and I are auditioning for the Minnesota State Fair talent contest next week. We thought it would be a fun to put ourselves in a situation that’s so nerve-racking we’ll want to puke. I’m not sure what the audio/video recording setup will be like, but for better or worse, I’ll try to get some footage of it recorded in one form or another, and get it posted here...

Come see us live this Saturday!
Canceled! Boo :-(
We’re excited to be playing for a Christian open mic night this Saturday in Crystal! You can find out more information here (http://goo.gl/04DNn), but the show starts at 7 p.m. and it’s $5 for youth and $7 for adults. We don’t know a whole lot more about the event at this point, except that it’s family friendly, and artists have 10 minutes to share their...

Teresa and I sing Remember Me (by Mark Schultz)...
Teresa and I sang the wonderful Mark Schultz tune, Remember Me, for my son’s baptism. It’s funny because we saw Mark Schultz live in concert the night before, and he closed with this song. So awesome to see it that night and then sing it the next morning!

Live performance recordings from 02/20/11
In February, we had the opportunity to do a concert for two assisted living organizations in the Chaska area. It was a real joy and blessing to play for the residents, and we pray that some spiritual seeds were planted. We have some good audio clips from one of the concerts, which you can listen to below:
