Behind the Song - Lemonade Sunday

My first radio single off the Country Enough EP is titled Lemonade Sunday. In this blog, I want to give you a "behind the scene" look of the writing process and how the song came to be! 

Many times in my writing process I write songs "from the title". This basically means, I will have a title for the song before I even write any other lyrics or music. This form of writing has been a really great exercise tool that has taken my songwriting to a whole new level. 

That being said, the title "Lemonade Sunday" was given to me along with about 7 others by my mentor. A couple days later I finished writing all of the songs from the titles, and Lemonade Sunday was the one that really stuck out from the rest. After my initial write, I made a couple small lyric changes on the chorus. The line "me and this guitar" was something like "swinging from the porch" before the re-write. It definitely helped the song have a better flow and to become more catchy. 

I had the song written for about 2 or 3 months before I got in the studio to record it. The recording process for the whole EP was totally out of the blue and unplanned. I got a small role in a movie that kept me in Nashville for a couple months. So it didn't take me very long to decide to work on an EP during all my down time on the film. I was in the studio for about 7 days spanning over about 3 weeks of time. It was a great experience and I had a ton of fun creating the project! I plan on releasing some new music for you soon!

Stay tuned,

Recent Shows

Last week was a great one! I had my very first online concert hosted by Keepin' it Country Blog on Stageit.com, and it was a blast! Hopefully you we're able to attend and got to hear me play my new song "Miracle" for the very first time. If you didn't make it, hopefully you can next time! ;)

I also had another very special show last week. I performed at a fund raiser event for a new film in pre-production called 8 Days. I'm so humbled to be a part of a project that is boldly shining the light on the hard issue of human trafficking and putting action into motion to stop this heinous crime. You too can show your support with your prayers, and by sharing about about 8 Days film (via twitter, Facebook, email, text, etc.) to get the word out. You can also make a monetary donation to help get the film off the ground. You can find all of the information to get involved at http://www.8daysfilm.org.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog! Have a blessed week!

So that being said, I will be posting a new blog every 2 weeks. So please visit the site frequently so you can stay in the know and up to date on everything that's going on!

Last week I went on a trip to Nashville with my good friend Nick Lokken, and had an absolute blast! I had the opportunity to play 3 shows during our visit and got to meet a ton of awesome people (quite possibly you!). It's always amazing getting to return to music city to visit friends and to jump back into the networking pool of other aspiring artists/musicians. The atmosphere in Nashville is unexplainable, and the incredible talent that resides there is truly unbelievable. After returning home from a great week, I feel extremely inspired and creative. I can't wait to start putting my thoughts and emotions to music so I can share it with you!

P.S. If you have any topics you want me to cover on future blogs, or any questions you want answered, then please leave a comment bellow and I will do my best to implement them!
