LONG POST ALERT! About 4 years ago, my wife and I decided to take a leap of faith and open a business together. Her outdoor bootcamp fitness classes had become too big to be a hobby, but too small to be a business. Our leap of faith was opening a group training gym called Fit Factory Nashville. As the gym grew and started to provide for our family, I assumed “This must be my exit strategy for getting out of music.” You see… the road, the pace, the competition, the pressure to make a living had really worn on me.
Instead of the clear exit plan I assumed, our gym actually allowed me to return to the heart of why I started playing music in the first place. I didn’t start playing music to provide for my family. I played music because I loved it and felt like God was using my songs.
I say all this because that’s exactly how I feel now. Our gym (God’s provision) has allowed me to find a travel pace that I love (and is healthy for my family). It has also allowed me to write/record songs without worrying what will sell…or what will get played on the radio.
Today I release my new EP called Sweetness and Sorrow. It's available everywhere you get your music online. I can honestly say that this entire project was created because I love music and feel like God can use these songs. A friend asked me what my favorite part of recording this album was. My answer was simple… I got to make the whole thing without any fear! I hope you enjoy… but if you don’t, that’s ok too
