“Buchanan's soulful and powerful voice is framed by inspirational music and presses forward with a strong spiritual message.” – The Phantom Tollbooth

i was down in missouri over the weekend, and i just realized that you were totally there at the same time and i didn't check out the concert. AHHH! oh well, i saw you at the LCMS national youth gathering and you rocked.
hey. how's your day going? Guess what?! Josh and I are FINALLY getting a new kitchen. We're actually going to have loads of cabinet space! I'm very excited about that. Hope all is well with you. Josh has also mastered the art of smoking meat on our smoker. It's seriously the best BBQ ever.
Thanks for supporting the independent artist by promoting their music! If you know of any artist interested in having their music aired on radio stations in London, Preston, Chicago, Manchester & New York, please refer them to the Soulchoonz Crew. Again, many thanks!!
