Last year, my church did a study series on the songs of ascent (Psalm 120-134) in the Bible, and as a result, I started putting these Psalms to music. Well that has kind of snowballed into a full-on musical production that we’ll be putting on in September. I’m arranging most of the music for it, with the playwright Ruben contributing, too. Here’s Ruben describing what the project is about:
There will be more interviews and sneak peeks in the coming weeks. I’ll be sure to post them here, and you can also check out the website for the production: jerusalemascent.com
We played in Bethel, PA (near Pittsburgh) after traveling back from Avon Lake. Christ UMC was build in the 60s and is visually striking inside. Hopefully some of the pictures will capture it. The concert was great. It was the best crowd we’ve had all tour, and a solid performance.
Tomorrow, the band & tech crew are heading home. We have a day to rest before Friday night’s homecoming concert. Come check it out, it’s free!
Date: Friday, June 25, 2010

Location: Oakdale Emory UMC, 3425 Emory Church Rd, Olney, 20832
Today ROCKED! While the kids went to Cedar Point (and I hear they have a few roller coasters there…), some of the band and tech crew went to check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What an amazing place. We were there for four hours and could’ve easily spent another four. The stuff they have is incredible. A rich collection of artifacts including guitars & instruments, rejection letters, band payment records, hand written lyric notebooks, clothes, etc. They technically don’t allow photographs inside, but I had to sneak a few anyway.
