Brandon Heath Touring with Jars of Clay

I think I can safely say that my favorite new artist of the recent past has got to be Brandon Heath. His two songs “Give Me Your Eyes” and “I’m Not Who I Was” are absolute favorites.

Even better is when Brandon Heath ends up touring with one of my favorite groups, Jars of Clay. Hopefully they’re going to be coming to a city near you!

Dutton’s Roots Run Deep in Texas

dutton-cover-art There are those Christian bands which facilitate worship that’s accessible to generations of worshipers at once. And there are those which venture to the cutting edge of popular music in the areas of style and creativity. But few bands combine sincerity, sing-ability and musical chops like Dutton.

The worship band known as Dutton has been playing together since early 2004 when front man Logan Walter pieced together a group to play with him at University Baptist Church (located on Dutton Avenue in Waco, Texas). UBC, founded in the mid-1990s by David Crowder and a collection of forward-thinking 20-somethings, needed a steady back-up band when the ascending David Crowder Band hit the road on national tours. But UBC got more than a "B-team" when Walter, guitarists Brian Patterson and Shane Wilson, and drummer Nathan Jennings gelled together as Dutton.

By the summer of 2005, Dutton’s reputation as a band that delivered a true worship experience with rock n’ roll punch had spread, and the boys’ calendar began to fill up with camps, retreats and discipleship weekends. In March 2007, The Heights Baptist Church in Richardson, Texas scooped up UBC’s "back-up band" to lead worship on Sunday mornings for their contemporary service. That led to a permanent partnership as Dutton has now become the regular worship band at The Heights. That is, when Dutton’s touring schedule "dutton" interfere (pun intended). The boys’ are currently playing conferences, church events and concerts across the nation.

What started as a collection of collegians with a shared love for God and music has developed into a full-time band of passionate worshipers who pour themselves into original songs designed specifically for the corporate worship setting. Walter, Jennings, Patterson and Wilson, along with new bassist Josh Hicks, bring a worship experience that is spiritually uplifting and sonically pleasing. Off stage, they’re as easy-going and fun-loving as any band in any genre. On stage, there’s no mistaking their commitment to the overall worship experience.

Simply put: This band "dutton" disappoint.

Tim Hawkins Live in Paducah for Next DVD

One of my new favorite comedians is Tim Hawkins. My wife just saw him perform recently in Cincinnati at a home schooling convention. She said he was hilarious! I already know this because I’ve spent hours finding ever video I can find of him on YouTube and his website.

Now he’ll be back in my home state of Kentucky and performing at the Carson Center in Paducah, KY on June 18th. You can still get tickets for this event where he’ll be filming his next DVD release.
