Tom has held the honor of having 5 of his songs prominently displayed on Garageband.com as Track of the Day, and one of those songs "Love Hate" was also featured as Track of the Week. Tom's songs are racing up the Garageband.com charts. If you get a chance, you can visit his Garageband.com site to listen to songs, write reviews, or read what other people think.
My buddy Mark Roach came and put on a free concert in the park in my hometown of Woodstock, IL. It was a great show and Mark truly displayed his love for Christ and sharing the gospel. If you get a chance buy his new CD "Every Reason Why" and bug your local Christian radio station to play his music!
Also, I'd like to introduce you to Mia Rose. She posts videos of her singing on youtube. Recently I added some instruments to a song she wrote and she loved it! THIS IS VIDEO IS BEING FEATURED ON YOU TUBE'S MAIN PAGE!!!!
Here's another collaboration I did. This is "Blue Sky" by Anthony C on youtube.
Tom is now the new Associate Worship Director at Canyon Ridge Christian Church in Las Vegas, NV. He made the move and began working there in the middle of July 2008. While Tom is sad to be leaving such a wonderful church as The Vine in Woodstock, IL, he is excited about what God has in store for him as he moves to the front lines of the battle in Sin City! Here's a picture of Canyon Ridge:
