Here and Now

It’s been a good summer so far!  The biggest news is that I’m busy recording my new album called Here and Now.  It should be out by next month.  Check out two of the songs on YouTube.com.  Hope you enjoy them!

• Here and Now
• You Are My God

I’ll be leading worship at Community Presbyterian Church in Danville July 27 & 28 and August 4.  On July 27 & 28, I’ll be leading in the Multi-Purpose Room with the more “emerging” services.  On August 4, I’ll be leading in the Sanctuary with the more “blended” services.  Both are vibrant and contemporary!  They are located at 375 Diablo Rd, Danville, CA 94526 if you get a chance to come join us.

Also on Sunday,  August 4, I’m holding the Leading Worship Effectively and Team Building workshop at Brentwood Bible Fellowship in Brentwood.  It’s open to everyone.  Find more information and registration by clicking HERE.  I’ll be doing a concert with band at 7:00pm.

The album called Instrumental Guitar Volume 1 is out on iTunes.com, our product page, as well as other venues (like Rhapsody and Amazon.com).  Or you can download the album at this link at a discount:

The New Here and Now Album

I am three songs into recording my new album that has both vocal and guitar on it.  The album is called Here and Now from the chorus of one of my songs, “Here and now I need You to live out Your life in me.”  Some songs have not been recorded yet such as Worthy & So Wonderful (check it out on YouTube), Here and Now, Flame, You Are My God, and Sherri My Love.  I will also have some songs that have significantly shaped my life such as Make My Life a Prayer, Water Grave, and He Is Alive.  Plus, there are two songs that were on the Confidence album (no longer available): Every Moment with You and I Can Fly.

Teaching Private Guitar Lessons

I am giving private guitar lessons to 22 students this summer in San Jose, Los Altos, and Mount Hermon.  It is so exciting for me to coach and mentor these fine musicians, inspiring them to reach their goals and become masters at their craft (1Chronicles 25:7a). Contact me if you are interested in learning the guitar or know someone who does.  All the information is on the Heartfelt Music website with quotes by students young and old.  Every lesson includes a short Lesson Summary Video on YouTube.com which illustrates how to play what was covered in the lesson.

Worship Leading Training in Brentwood

On Sunday, August 4, I’ll be holding a Leading Worship Effectively and Team Building workshop to equip church musicians and worship leaders to be skillful and relevant in leading others in worshiping our great God.  It is 3 hours long, from 3:00pm-6:00pm and only $15.00 per person. For detailed information and registration CLICK HERE. I will be giving a concert after the workshop from 7:00pm-8:15pm with a stellar band sharing songs and stories from the new album to encourage you in Christ.  Both the workshop and the concert will be at Brentwood Bible Fellowship.
