Notice anything different?

Yep! My new site is finally live. And while there are still a few more features to unveiled, it’s still a big improvement. My goal was to have a site that was easy to navigate, offer innovative features, and provide a place where we can all hang out. I think that was accomplished.

Two buddies of mine helped make this all happen. John Parker and Jimmy Jernigan put in some serious time, and I can’t thank them enough. Check them out, and tell ‘em I sent ya!

Enjoy the site everyone!

Hey everybody. 

So, here is the first video from the much talked about “Acoustic Sessions.”   And by “much talked about,” I mean much talked about… by me.  The song performed is a cover of a killer new artist called, Lights. If you haven’t heard of this chick yet, you will soon. This song was featured on a ton of Old Navy commercials recently, and you might recognize it. It’s called “The Last Thing on Your Mind.”

Performing with me are two guys that have been with me from the start. Jason Collum (he’s playing the guitar) and Nathan Walters (he’s playing keys). Sidenote – We 3 wrote “Happy” and “Beautiful” together. We learned the song about 15 minutes before this take, so I apologize if it gets sloppy. Also, I don’t know what you guys think… but I happen to think the video looks and sounds great. Well, that’s all because of a guy named Jimmy Jernigan. He killed it.

Oh, by the way, I actually got a myspace message from Lights herself saying she loved the video. That was very, very cool. She definitely did not have to do that, and I really appreciated getting her stamp of approval. So, hopefully I get yours as well!

Here ya go…

Hey everyone.

If you listened to my recent mobile post, then you know what “The Acoustic Sessions” are. For those of you who haven’t, here is a quick rundown…

This past week I got all my co-writers from my debut album together, and went over to SortedNoise Studios here in Nashville. We basically set up a soundstage…audio, video, the whole nine yards (courtesy of the crazy talented, Jimmy Jernigan). Then, while tracking and taping, we talked about each song (where it originated, the motivation behind it, etc.), and performed them, as well as a cover called “The Last Thing on Your Mind” by Lights, acoustically.

This was an amazing experience for a couple reasons. It was really cool to revisit some of these songs and remember the stories behind them that we had forgotten. It was also really cool to get creative and experiment with the acoustic versions. You are so limited with what you can do, it forces you to be creative.

Anyway, I will be releasing the YouTube vid of the Lights cover in the next couple of weeks, and then all of my songs, one by one, starting in the next couple of months. So, stayed tuned! For now, here are some pics (also courtesy of Jimmy Jernigan), from the taping…

Jason Collum, myself, and Perrin Lamb performing “Not Today”

Jason Collum, myself, and Brian Van Meter getting ready to perform “Starting to Rain”

Nathan Walters, myself, and Jason Collum performing “Happy”

Me listening to the magic that was just created

I will be putting up more pics like these on “The Images” page very soon. So, come back and see me!

Talk to you soon,
Joshua
