Today my band, Southerner, released our first EP called "A Song for Old Songs." This is a very special day for me for many reasons. This is something that I have aspired to do since my middle school days when I first started writing songs. It took a year and a half for this set of songs to reach its full maturity, but I think the songs display the intentionality that we put into both their writing and production.
I am so thankful for these guys that I get to write music with and for the stories that we now have because we set out to make this music. There is something really special that comes from writing music with people that you can call your best friends. When I first came to college, I never thought that this would be a reality, but now I am sitting here writing about it on a blog that I never thought would be a reality either. God has given me so many opportunities since I moved to Nashville. I am thankful for the possibility of expressing myself through music and photography, and I am thankful that I get to share it all with you.
