Influences
I find it really hard to trace a straight line from what I do back to the music that inspires me. That said... here's some stuff I dig: Rich Mullins, Andrew Peterson, Paul Simon, Sufjan Stevens, Chris Tomlin, Aimee Mann, The Beatles, Switchfoot, Jonatha Brooke, John Legend, Sara Groves, Jill Phillips, Death Cab, Keith Green, Mindy Smith, U2 (U23D IS AWESOME!!! GO SEE IT NOW!!!), Patti Griffin, Derek Webb, Sam Phillips, Sting, Ray LaMontagne... (this could go on awhile...).

Hey everyone, thanks for visiting my page... I won't pretend that someone else is writing this (what's the point of a MySpace page that's run by my management?). I try to reply to every message (but there's really not always enough time). So please forgive me if I'm not always super great about getting back with y'all. That said, it has been cool to reconnect with some old friends and make some new ones...
I have a couple new CDs coming out in 2008. The first is an EP called "Act of Surrender" (AVAILABLE NOW!) that features a few new tunes and two other songs from a previous project that never got a real release. One of 'em is a really fun arrangement of "Eleanor Rigby" that has been a part of my shows for a few years... The next CD, "Clouds And Fire" will be out in July...
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll leave me a comment and check back soon!
Scott, Thanks for adding us 2 your Friend's List. It is cool that we share so many likes! We decided to skip the G & C festival tonight due to the heat & size of the crowd. We pray that it was all blessed...especially Jesse's set!

Scott, thank you so much for the worship service this weekend. Very challenging. It's my goal to be undignified this week. I appreciate all that you and Mike put into the service (and whoever else helped you as well). We are blessed to have men like you leading us in worship! Blessings, Mike
Thanks for the invite, Scott! I've seen your comments on so many other people's pages, I wonder why I hadn't friended you up till now. Actually, I thought that I had... Anyway, really great music here!
Hello from Online Church of Christ! We haven't been as "in touch" as we'd like, but we are going to blog more in the very near future. Anything you want us to talk about?? Let us know! And please share our site with your friends! All are welcome! God bless!
Hey Scott, How much is that concert going to be when you are singing with Natalie Grant at Eagle? That is my birthday but I would love to hear you both sing together. Maybe I could get the parents over too. Hope your having a great Memorial day weekend with the family.
Hi Scott, Today was the first time I've listened to any of your music. Actually, I may have seen you at a BBC Preview a few years ago but I'm not sure. I found your myspace through a link on Jeremy Wright's myspace. You'll have to ask him about his relationship to my family some time. Haley PS... I'm sure Traber Cass would want me to say "Hi" :-)
You asked how I heard of your music. Well, I listen to a Christian radio station from Lima, Ohio called WTGN (Witnessing the Good News), and they play your music. I've also gotten some of it off of iTunes. Have a good week!
Hey, Scott! Thanks for the add;) I definately love Goodnight(Emily) and I can see why it would be popular among the "Emilys", although the lyrics hold deeper meaning to me than just the fact that my name is in them:)...(which is great! I love songs that I can really relate to my life because music IS my life<3) My mom and I actually heard your music on a Christian radio station and looked ya up on itunes:) LOVE IT! So, thanks for adding me and I'll be watching for you! Love, Peace,and Chicken Grease, Emmy:D
