Throw back to Saturday - July 15, 2023 - when I got to play at Austin Ausley’s album release show! Such an epic night.Me and cellist extraordinaire Katie Boyd got to open the show with a concert, which was incredibly special with friends and family watching. Then Jackie not Marilyn played a super fun, groovy set (they were so nice too!), followed by Austin.I was fortunate enough to have played gui...  Read More

Holy smokes. We're halfway through 2023! How did that happen??! Life is looking very different right now... but I couldn't be more excited.A Cool Thing!I met producer and friend Mack Damon at the end of 2010. He produced my Rearranged album, and has used me as a session player on literally hundreds of tracks for various artists across different styles. Fun fact: when I was 11 I learned about the W...  Read More

Hello humans! I can't believe I've been in Austin almost a year! As a result of COVID, I suppose I haven't connected with as many people locally as I'd have liked to... but I've been blessed to have some pretty cool opportunities since I've been here; opportunities to produce artists, play a few shows, lead worship, and meet some very nice people.Madler Music MattersSONGBack in 2020 I wrote a song...  Read More

Y’all, I can’t believe it. It’s been ONE YEAR since the release of the Collective Worship album. One year since the release, and coincidentally – one year since shelter-in-place kicked in as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.It’s been the weirdest possible album release cycle. Normally when an album drops, the artist at least plays ONE time in support of it (and hopefully, many more than that)! My...  Read More

Very excited to announce that Milo Deering, Mark Herrera (of Jesus Painter Ministries), and I have collaborated to create a video for my new song “Peace Prayer”! Mark did a live painting while Milo and I played through this acoustic song, and I’m so moved by the final video (beautifully assembled by Kyle Isenhower of Isenhower Productions). The video and song itself with both go live on 9/4/2020, ...  Read More

It’s hard to believe this song is 9 months old already! “Holy Spirit of God” was the first single off of the #CollectiveWorship project, and it features Stu Garrard on electric guitars (I am still blown away by his arrangement/performance every time I listen!). Check out the new lyric video by Sean Gutierrez, he has done an amazing job on these!The song itself is about the… um… Holy Spirit of God....  Read More

Because of God’s work in our lives and Jesus’ finished work on the cross, we can live into the assurance of our salvation. Forgiveness. Eternal life. “And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest w...  Read More

For those who are anxious in this season. For those that have fallen ill, or know someone who has. For those that have lost a loved one. For those experiencing financial hardship. For those whose businesses have been destroyed. For those who feel isolated and alone. Lord have mercy on us....  Read More
