Times of Grace Blog
We are three weeks into our first US tour with one week remaining. As much as I miss my family there is a big part of me that does not want this to end. I feel a brotherhood has formed with the band & crew that is like none I have experienced on tour. There are moments that I look around at these quality human beings I am surrounded by and I feel a sense of pride and honor. I will miss all of them when we part ways in a week. The laughs have been non-stop & being in a new place everyday has put a gypsy spell on me. The shows have been amazing all of the people who have come out have been so supportive & enthusiastic. It is hard to put into words how it feels to hear people sing words that were written in a time of desperation and darkness. Words that were once painful to write and read are now therapeutic and cleansing. All of the people I have met out here have given me so much to carry with me. I find taking time to interact with fans has been quite an experience. All of the kind words, hugs and handshakes fill me with a purpose and humble me. I am grateful to those who have taken the time to share their story and how this record has affected them as well. I consider it a privilege to be able to be out here doing what I love & I take time everyday to give thanks. When I roll out of my bunk and start my day I remember back on the days of punching a clock and working 8-9 hours a day and I just smile. I just felt the need to take time to thank everyone who has supported Times of Grace, bought the record and made it out to a show. It is incredible people have driven great distances to see these shows! Many thanks to a great crew, Alan (merchandise), Josh (stage manager), Kyle (tour manager) & our bus driver Rusty. Many thanks to the official band; Joel (guitar), Daniel (bass & vocals) Dan (drums) and of course Adam D (guitar, vocals and mastermind). To all of you who have come out to these shows a big big thanks from the whole Times of Grace crew, with out you we would not be able to do this !!!! We are doing all we can to get out and play in front of all of you the world over, all in due time and God willing. THANK you everyone!!

Greetings to all of you.
I had to take a moment to share my thoughts with you. I sat back and really took in everything that has transpired in the 4 years since "The Hymn of a Broken Man" was conceived. The phone call from Adam that changed everything for me and my creative drive as well as my personal struggles. It really hit home as I was reading some of the messages I have received on facebook and resonates on a whole other level. The amount of support & excitement all of you have shared. The stories of how this record has effected and helped many of you, it causes a sense of great great gratitude. Adam & I are so amazed by the support ! To all of you that spent your hard earned money to buy this record, to all of you who bought multiple copies just to spread the word and support us, thank you so very much!
We have been preparing our live band for our first US tour starting on February 1st see dates here:
