New music!

I just uploaded a few songs from last night’s concert on my Facebook and MySpace.

Check out “Let Love Be Right,” “A Moment,” “Who,” and “Undone,” and let me know what you think!

UPDATE (Feb. 23): Just added “Monster.”

I’m in love with Gemma Hayes

Yeah, in addition to Alicia Keys. So?

Here’s the lovely Gemma Hayes playing at Google Dublin this week:

I may be in love with Alicia Keys

Her new album, “The Element of Freedom,” came out December 17th. Here are a couple tracks from that:

Cute kid on ukelele

This is phenomenal. I dare you not to smile.

Dawen

This weekend, while we were in New York, I got to see an old friend of mine perform. I’ve plugged him on here before, when his American Me album (available on iTunes and Amazon) came out, and I’m gonna keep plugging him, coz I think his music is awesome: musically, creatively, lyrically. Mixing funk, soul and R&B, my buddy Dawen keeps producing great, great songs.

Here are some pics from the gig last week–a little dim due to the lighting in the place–including a couple with guest performer Alfa. (You should go check her out too; her blog is here.)

Check out the music video for the first single off of American Me, “Wake Up.”

DC*B in DC

Last night, I went to see David Crowder* Band, whom I consider one of the most creatively, technically and artistically progressive Christian worship musicians out there. And it was awesome. Mark (one of the guitarists) took a pic from the stage to tweet:

Some thoughts on faith, music and politics to come.
