"Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death." - Mark Batterson

Hi there!

It has been a minute since my last update. Life has been busy here in Atlanta and there are a couple things I wanted to let you know about that are coming up this month! I'm excited!


NEW SHOW - NOVEMBER 28TH @ RED CLAY
My friend and aspiring young songwriter Jacob Harshman is releasing his debut EP and I have the privilege of helping him celebrate by opening for him at his CD release show. One of my favorite music venues, Red Clay Music Foundry, and one of my favorite people, Eddie Owen, will be hosting us on this special night of music. You don't want to miss this.

Tickets are available now at: http://bit.ly/1iVOt22​

RSVP on Facebook here: http://on.fb.me/1WNDLx4​



NEW SONG - COMING NOVEMBER 27TH
This past summer I had the chance to road-trip to my great home-state of Michigan and record a new song. Some of you may have followed along on Facebook/Instagram. Well, the time has come at last to for you to hear it! On Friday, November 27th my new song "All In" will be available on all major digital stores, including iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and more! Follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the latest on that.

ALSO, I've got a little surprise coming for you on Tuesday, November 24th (my birthday) so stay tuned for that! :)



ONE MORE THING...
For those who haven't heard, I recently accepted a full-time worship leader position at Victory World Church, which has been my home church for the past eight years here in Atlanta. I am excited for this new season! While my focus has shifted from a heavy touring schedule, I am still writing and recording and playing live when I can. This career shift has been in the works for a while now and I love my new job. I believe I am exactly where God wants me to be. 

I will miss some parts of the touring life, and I am certainly not finished taking this show on the road, but I have more peace now than I've ever had. Big things are (still) in the works. 

Thanks for following along!

Kurt

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else." - Judy Garland

Hi there!

The excitement is building. I have some cool things happening and I am pleased to share some of that with you today! Here's what is going on this month...

NEW EP TITLE AND ARTWORK
I am in the final stages of making a new record! Woohoo! The masters of my 4-song EP of worship music are in my hands (and by "hands" I mean, "hard drive"). And now the last few pieces are being put together! Today, I am excited to reveal the cover artwork AND the title of this project! Are you ready? Click here to see the title and design that we have come up with for this. I'll wait here.

A big shout out to my friend, Ty Buckingham, for designing this! If you ever need any design work done, check out his website KillingStudentDebt.com.

I'm pretty pumped to see "FORTRESS" coming together. I'm also pumped to know that I am not doing this thing alone. I'm ALSO pumped to be doing some fun things leading up to the release date, which will be sometime in April. So, I'm pumped! Pumped UP! Somewhat related: I have had WAY too much espresso, so I'm also PUMPED about that! ;)

Seriously, though, I am excited for the coming weeks. Good things are on the way!


FULL BAND SHOW @ SMITH'S
I'm getting the band back together! I love playing with a band. And it doesn't happen very often, so this is going to be a special night in Atlanta! 

The show is April 24th @ 10:00 PM in The Atlanta Room (downstairs) at Smith's Olde Bar and it is just $8 at the door. RSVP on Facebook and share this event with your Atlanta friends! For more show info, visit www.kurtscobie.com/shows and/or visit SmithsOldeBar.com.


EVEN MORE YOUTUBE COVERS
Every Thursday I have been uploading a new cover video to my YouTube channel. If you haven't yet, click on over there and check out my renditions of some of my favorite songs. There is a little something for just about everyone; Elton John, One Direction, Michael Buble, Bethel, Ed Sheeran, and more. Visit www.youtube.com/kurtscobie.


NEXT MONTH
It's going to be big for me. Thanks for following along and thanks for supporting me. Stay tuned for the next update. Information regarding the release date and how you can pre-order the new EP are on the way!


Cheers!

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly." - Langston Hughes

Hi there!
This is shaping up to be an exciting 2015 for me! I have some fun things in the works. Today, I am especially energized, because...


NEW MUSIC UPDATE
Last month I drove a couple hours north of the ATL, into a land with little-to-no cell phone service (it was glorious) and began a new recording project! I had the honor of working with award winning mixing engineer and producer Chuck Harris. We recorded on a baby grand in a church just outside Chattanooga, and then tracked vocals in his home studio, even farther north into rural Tennessee. It was an amazing time creating new songs. I can't wait to share them with you!

As I write this I am listening to a first mix of one of the songs. I love this part of the recording process, hearing my ideas com to life. I think you are going to like it.

To give you a taste of my experience, check out my post "Recording Session [Photos]" on my blog.


SAVE THE DATE
For my Atlanta friends (and anyone else who would like to make a little trip to ATL) I've got a show for you! The last Friday in April, I have a show at Smith's Olde Bar! So, save the date; April 24th at 10 PM in the Atlanta Room. I'll give you more info as we get closer to the show. Until then, save the date!

P.S. You can track me via Bandsintown or SongKick to get emails specifically about my upcoming shows in your area.


YUP, MORE VIDEOS
Take a few minutes to see what I have been doing in the wild and wonderful world of YouTube! More cover videos are available for your viewing pleasure on my channel. Watch, subscribe, and share! This month I've got a couple love songs comin' at ya in the spirit of Valentine's Day. <3 

So far this year I have covered "Love Song" (Sara Bareilles)"Your Song" (Elton John)"Bad Day" (Daniel Powter), and there is another one on the way this Thursday, February 5th!


THANK YOU
Thank you for following along! I am excited for things to come. I appreciate your support along this crazy journey!

Cheers!

"The most effective way to do it, is to do it." - Amelia Earhart



Hi there!

Happy January! Happy 2015!

I hope you're still keeping to your resolutions after just the first week. ;) As I look at the year ahead, I am excited for new possibilities and new music. I have written a couple songs already this year, and I am going to try to keep this momentum going!

2014 was a great year for cranking out new songs for me. I exceeded my songwriting goal, and now...


STUDIO TIME
I'm headed to the studio! At the end of January, I will be working with engineer Chuck Harris to record something really cool. It will be unlike anything I have ever done before, and I can't wait to see how it turns out. I will keep you posted on the progress and, of course, let you know when you can hear it.


"YOUR CRASH" LIVE - FREE DOWNLOAD

We had a great night on December 5th at Red Clay Music Foundry. It was an honor to share the stage with some awesome songwriters and musicians. And the best part? Live-sound engineer extraordinaire Shalom Aberle captured the sounds of the evening on CD. And now, I'm sharing one of this sounds with you, for free!

My friend Brennan Warren enhanced my songs with her glorious cello-playing. This is probably my favorite live performance of "Your Crash", so I hope you'll check it out! www.kurtscobie.com/free-download


NEW COVER VIDEO
Sometimes you just need to listen to a little tweeny bop music. Just... don't tell anyone. Unless, of course, you're listening to my rendition of "Steal My Girl" by One Direction. In which case, tell everyone you know, especially if you know the guys in 1D. I hear they need another singer. ;)

I'll be putting my YouTube channel to work in 2015 with more videos like this. If you're a YouTuber, take a minute and subscribe to my channel. www.youtube.com/kurtscobie


HERE'S TO 2015
I truly hope you have the best year this year! I am excited for what is ahead. Thanks for reading and following along. Stay tuned!

Cheers!
-Kurt
