“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
- Luke 2:14 NKJV
Hi there!
The tree is up and finally decorated in the Scobie household. The stockings are hung. Sherlock, our "Elf On The Shelf", has been hanging around for a couple weeks. And I'm planning on making the world-famous Scobie family egg nog this week! Yes, Christmas-time is here again.
And while 2014 is wrapping up, there are still a few things happening...
SHOOTOUT WINNER
On December 11th I took home the gold at The Camp House Songwriter Shootout Finals in Chattanooga, TN. It was a GREAT night listening to a GREAT group of songwriters share their songs. I created a little photo album and shared more about my experience in my blog, which you can check out here. There are a few more photos you can hunt for on Facebook, too. One of the exciting parts about this is that I won some studio time as a part of the grand prize! I will be working with award-winning producer Chuck Harris to bring you some new music in 2015! Get ready. I have been focusing on creating new material this past year. Now, it is time to polish them up and get them out there for you to hear. I will keep you posted about that.
I appreciate the support of those who were able to come cheer me on at the shootout, and to those of you who were cheering from home. I am honored.
FREE DOWNLOAD
A couple years ago I released a re-worked Christmas song as a part of a compilation with some songwriter friends. Some of you may already have my rendition of "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks", but a lot of you are new subscribers, so I thought I'd point your attention to this free download again. After all, 'tis the season!The lyrics are from the original hymn, except I added the chorus. And the music was also written by yours truly. Please take a minute to check it out, download it, and share it with your friends. It is my gift to you. Merry Christmas! You can download this song here.
CHRISTMAS SHOW RECAP
I couldn't have asked for a better night on December 5th. Miriam Tyson and Jacob Harshman (and their musician friends) were great companions on the Red Clay Music Foundry stage. We had a blast preparing our songs and performing for a warm audience.
I collected a few photos from the show and put them in an album on Google+. Check them outhere. We had live-painting by Matt Armstrong at this event and his work turned out beautifully.
THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING 2014
I couldn't do this music thing without you. Thank you for all of your support and prayers and love. I am excited for the upcoming year, and I hope you will continue to follow along.
