So, we're here in Nashville for the yearly Gospel Music Assocation schindigg! Had a million interviews and stuff and got to share our thoughts on the new record. We're like little excited kids because we're fresh from the studio after recording it. It's been a VERY good week.

We spent some time with Food for the Hungry and discussed our upcoming trip to Cambodia & Bangladesh! Sooooooooooooooooo pumped!!! We're going to visit our sponored kids and see the work the FH is doing in southeast asia.


Leeland found Brandon Heath's Nasa oven mitts while we were at his house with Joy FM. We premiered our new song "Follow You" on the morning show! Brandon works his guest vocal magic on the song and it's brilliant i tell you! Brilliant!


Leeland gravitates to the instrument in the room in between interviews . He's writing a tune about a fairy tale or something.


Watched Jars of Clay perform their new single "Two Hands". Soooo good. Do you guys have their new record?



Got to hang out with our new friend Nick Jonas. Great guy!


About to do an interview and we're pretty tired. It went well though. Mike told a story that took about 15 minutes to tell and it was hilarious! haha. We gave him a hard time about it, and he took it in stride. A true friend!


The best way to tan during interviews.


Got to see my brother in law's new short film "Devil's Shoestring" at the Nashville Film Festival. It's a great cautionary tale.

Mike found some new pants...

Horsepower! Horsepower people!!!

6am airport check in.


Expert packer.


We went to go see the Jo Bros! It was amazing. 72,000 screaming girls. We were screaming too... haha.

Back at it

Ok... sorry it's been so long since we've posted something! We've been really busy. And we're proud to say that we don't 'outsource' this blog to anybody outside of the band. This is 100% genuine Leeland content... straight from us. :-)

We're in Nashville writing more songs! They just keep coming and we're gonna record as many as we can. Below are some iPhone pix of what a typical writing session with Leeland is like. He plays musical chairs with every instrument in the building...









PS... For those who didn't hear... Mike got in a 4-wheeler accident a week ago. It was pretty serious, but it could have been much much worse. He's out and about now, and feeling much better. God really protected him and we're very thankful for that. Thanks for the prayers! -jack

Ordering burritos!


Leeland jammed his thumb playing soccer.


Jake's playing Risk on the computer.


Trimming the hobo beard.


We took a trip to Ed's back yard and played on the big fallen tree.

Mike the Anime Warrior

Mike found some friends this week at the convention center.

Studio Pix 2

Jake was cold.


Some of our friends stopped by the studio... one of them was none other than Zach Hunter. A good buddy of ours over the past few years. Everyone should read his books.



The creepiest instrument in the world.


We call him one take timmy.


Nothing like some crisp air and coffee to make a man feel alive. Looks like a JC Penny's ad or something.



Wish I had a wurli!


Tracking live together.


Poor Mike is in his isolation chamber.


This is Mike's "i've had a long but productive drum day" face.


Feel free to write your own captions on this one.

So... we're recording the first noises (drums & bass) for our next record! Really excited. More pix and video to come. The tricky thing is that we can't let you guys hear these songs until they're totally done. So... maybe more pix than video. :-)
