“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on earth.” - William W. Purkey
Hi there!
Happy February! We've had QUITE a start to 2014 here in Georgia! Atlanta's "Snow Jam 2014" has gotten a little buzz across the U.S. and we're still trying to figure out what happened last Tuesday. All I can say is that I am incredibly thankful that we are safe and sound here in the Scobie household. I was at home with Judah when the madness began on the roads, and it only took my wife 4 hours to travel 10 miles to our apartment (after abandoning her car, taking the train, and then walking 3 miles). Many other Atlantans had a much more stressful day, to say the least.Well, the snow has almost all melted away now, but I have a feeling there will be more winter weather in my future. I'm thinking of this little snowstorm as conditioning for what I might have to face in the coming weeks. Here's what is happening with me this month.
COLLEGE TOUR DATES
I am hitting the road! This month I will be starting back up my college touring for 2014. I am excited to
get back out there and play some shows. If I am coming to a city near you, I hope to see your radiant face! Also, there are still just a few openings for house concerts, so if you'd like me to come play a concert in your house, email me. Let's make it happen! It is easier than you might think. Take a look at my calendar for upcoming tour dates. www.kurtscobie.com/shows."THE WAKE" LIVE @ EOP SONGWRITER SHOOTOUT
Back in November, I had the distinct honor to perform in the EOP Songwriter Shootout #3 at Red Clay Theatre (Duluth, GA). I am excited to share a link to a video that was shot that night by the Open Mic Project. There are some exciting things happening on the Atlanta music scene and it is awesome to be a part of it. Check out the video at http://www.kurtscobie.com/blogs.Also, I am excited to announce that I'll be participating in Eddie's Songwriter Shootout AGAIN this June! I dropped by the Red Clay Theatre last Monday and the judges voted me the overall winner, so now I advance to the bi-annual shootout! I am honored. You can hear my performance of "Waiting" from that night at http://bit.ly/1bgRIY6
By the way, if you live in the Atlanta area and have not been to a show at this amazing venue, I HIGHLY recommend it! www.eddieowenpresents.com.
FAREWELL, HAIR!

RUNNING FOR PUNITA
I am running the Georgia Publix Half-Marathon again this Spring for As Our Own. I hope you'll check out this amazing organization and consider how you can get involved in the fight against human trafficking. Here's the link: bit.ly/1jYVSMm.
