The Sight of You ~ THANK YOU

BUY TICKETS HERE

We are so excited to share the new music video with you on October 14th, 7pm at Ricky D's Retro Theater in the lovely town of Madison, GA.  Remember a percentage of all ticket sales will go towards the building of a restoration home for women and children rescued from human trafficking through the ministry of iCare4.org  -- Be sure to check out their website on ways to be part of this cause.  

The new single, "The Sight of You", digitally releases on Tuesday Sept. 23rd on iTunes, Amazon, cdbaby.  This will give you plenty of time to memorize the song so you can sing along at the video premiere!  How fun would that be?!   I'd really appreciate it if you would tell your friends and family by helping share on social media.  The more shares, the more we can continue to help others in need as well as continue to create new music.  Thank you for your constant support and prayers throughout this musical journey.  You will never know how much it means to my family and me.  

Thank you!

I would like to thank Kurt Denmark of Denmark Productions for producing the song and what an amazing job you did - simply beautiful.  You really outdid yourself on this one, brother.  I really enjoyed just getting to be creative and then letting you take it all to the next level musically.  It's great working with someone like you on a song like this.  Something special truly happened.  I cannot wait to share it!  Thanks for everything you and Melaine do to host me while I'm hanging out recording.  I love you guys.

There aren't enough ways or words to express how grateful I am to have had the honor of working with some of the best actors and crew in the making of the new music video.   
This video came to life because of their generosity and sacrifice.  

Bowler Hat Films:  Ryan Norton and Slade Curtis - you both are so sincere, fun and great at what you do!  Thank you for all the hours of planning and walking me through the process of what it takes to put something like this together.  Thank you for every kind word of encouragement and for believing in this song and video.  
Thank you for all the hours you will put into editing too....

It's a joy to know you guys and call you my friends.

You were so great to work and had everyone cracking up.  Your kind heart was overflowing in every scene and we all loved watching you.

You deserve a lifetime supply of diet coke!
