“If you want to punch me, that’s fine.” – Mandy Thompson (phrases you hear when recording scratch vocals and talking about punching in and out)
Tracking a song with Mandy Thompson today. Fun times.
Fred McKinnon pushing the buttons and making us sound good!
Most of you that know me, know that I am heavily involved with the behind the scenes stuff that happens over at The Worship Community. One of the reasons my blog tends to go quiet for weeks at a time is because I’m getting my “blogging” fix taken care of my writing and scheduling content for TWC. I love it!!
Today, we’ll be premiering Brian Doerksen’s Welcome to the Place of Level Ground from his live/dvd project called Level Ground, The Live Experience. Head on over to TWC and make sure you watch the video premier. It’s wonderful! You’ll love the atmosphere and environment Brian and his team created for this project.
If you’d like an EXTRA chance at winning a LEVEL GROUND WORSHIP LEADER KIT, I’m giving away 1 copy here as well! And so is Fred McKinnon. Be sure to stop by and register at his place!
The Worship Leader Kit includes the CD, CD Trax, Live DVD with 2 hours of footage, and Digital Songbook with transposable chord charts. (more…)
Today (also my birthday) Ragamuffin Soul, the much anticipated full-length album by Carlos Whitaker hits the streets.
I was privileged to get my hands on an early release copy and have been listening to it non-stop.
Including songs from the previously released EP, Ragamuffin Soul is a story. A story of a journey told in songs that meet us where we are.
God of Second Chances, Jesus Saves, We Will Dance, No Words,and We Will Worship You stand out for me personally. Great music.
Every song is arranged well and as a worship leader I definitely would use just about every song on this album in a corporate worship gathering. Make sure you pick up your copy today!
Last year, at about this time I posted this and got great response. What I’d love to SEE is some more lap drum videos! Read through and take a video of you lap drumming and then link it to the comments! Wheeee!
Check out this video after the break that proves Lap Drumming will enhance your love life!
Relentless: A Worship Project
I love this project. From the get go the heart and purpose of this album is to serve others. Six young college songwriters got together and decided to record an album with the proceeds going to raise funds for the Wesley Foundation at Valdosta State University. I love that the aim of this recording is to promote a vibrant ministry and not the individuals who wrote and recorded the songs.
From their Facebook Fan Page: Their journey began with six very different musicians discussing what it would be like to collaborate with each other’s ideas, talents, and personalities to produce a CD. Nearly a year later, after a lot of time and hard work, their efforts have come to fruition in what they have titled “Relentless: A Worship Project.” With varying sounds and subject matter, the CD promises to be relevant to just about any music lover who has a passion for the Lord and for his people.
