Talent Show

In case you didn't know already, people are really talented. It's so cool to see some of the things that different people are able to do! Seriously. It blows my mind.

Here are some super cool and gifted people I've discovered within the last week or so that I think you should know about too!

1) Jenny & Tyler.
Jenny & Tyler are a married couple who love Jesus and have a band. They are fantastic musicians, and their lyrics are pure truth. Check them out at jennyandtylermusic.com. If you like what you hear, sign up for their email list and get some songs for free! P.S. If you live in or near Newberg, they're gonna be performing at George Fox in a couple weeks.

2) Blimey Cow
Two brothers, Jordan and Josh, make funny (yet so true!) youtube videos. And there's a new one every week, so if you become obsessed with them and watch all of them in a day, no worries. There's more to come :)



If you like this one, I strongly suggest that you go watch some of their other ones on youtube! If you don't like it... well... God likes people with bad senses of humor too. :)

What great talents have you recently discovered?

Oh For Joy--A Music Review

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I hope you laughed a lot and ate way too much pumpkin pie! :)

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is that it officially marks the beginning of the Christmas season. After the fourth Thursday in November, it is generally acceptable to play Christmas music and put up red and green decorations everywhere, and nobody can complain because it's after Thanksgiving.

As part of my planning for this glorious holiday, I went on itunes a couple days ago and filled my wish list with new Christmas music to buy after Thanksgiving. The only full album I bought was David Crowder Band's Oh For Joy.

First of all, if you are familiar with DCB's music, then you already know it's going to be great. If you're not, let me tell you a little bit about it! The album is short, sweet, and to the point (just like me! haha. short jokes.). Eight songs in total, and while none of them are original songs, the arrangements definitely bring something new to the table. "Angels We Have Heard On High" bursts out sounding like a hoedown, complete with fiddles and banjos (the band does hail from Texas). But if you're not a country music fan, don't let that turn you away. There is something for everyone here, all the way to "Carol of the Bells" performed on electric guitars.

All in all, this really is a great album. If you love Christmas music, go get it! Seriously. It's only $6.99 on itunes. How can you pass that up?

A Little Inspiration For You

If you have not listened to the music of Gungor, you are really missing out. Really.

So for today, I want to share this video of one of their many amazing songs. It's a little on the longer side, but I really encourage you to listen to the whole thing if you have time.

P.S. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it! I was fortunate enough to see them last month and they blew me away.

Enjoy!
