My Story
I previously wrote some background information about my musical style, influences, and how I came to be a keyboardist but realized that none of that matters as it relates to the purpose of this site, and my hope for this site. The past is gone, God meets us where we are TODAY. His purpose and plan for us requires us to listen to the Holy Spirit and follow through on what our heart tells us, despite what our head says...each and every day.
This site is about sharing original worship music, experiencing several forms of devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ through a music reflection blog and devotion blog; and yes, even adding your favorite picture of a sunset! It's also about giving voices to those musicians who may otherwise go unheard as well as streaming my songs and collaborations. It’s important that our voices be heard. It’s important that we participate in this digital world and be present on as many social media platforms as possible.
So why sunsets? I think sunsets provide us a reminder each and every day about how much God loves us and how great an artist He is. So if we feel very small and overpowered in this digital world I think sunsets provide us with inspiration to move forward, to write and sing our music because it needs to be sung, needs to be heard, and like a sunset refreshes the soul and brings us to another day.
I'm looking to collaborate with other artists to bring their songs of worship to a new level as well as compose my own songs with my musical friends. My hope is that I find an artist that loves my song enough to record it. I've tried to create a warm and cozy place for listeners and musicians to visit and talk about songwriting, faith, and keep 'fans' in touch with my music. I currently play in 2 rock bands as well, 7 Bridges Band and 4 Way Street. See the Shows page for gig dates.
MERC.
