Jacob and Michael Paul sit down for a little acoustic session........

Already well known in contemporary Christian music circles as a superb songwriter, Trevor got the producer and musicians he needed to create a recording that does justice to his excellent compositions. Featuring a polished, guitar-driven rock sound-from straightforward, classic rock tunes to moody, beat-driven numbers-and Trevor's distinctive vocals, Eyes to You is as good as it gets.

Greetings everyone out there!!!!!!

Hope the Easter season found you with a renewed spirit. I just thought i would blog a tid-bit to let you know how things are going for the band.

1) Matt had twins. Yup, two babies. Two heartbeats. two...four eyes...four legs.....40 fingers and toes....crazy. Alma and Joshua are their names and spitting up and being RIDICULOUSLY cute is their game.

2) Mike Bass is getting married. Big time. May 5th, be there....they wont be upset if you crash the reception....jokes.

3) Rene is moving to a new home and is excited about filling up a new space with his drums and teddy bear collection.

4) Mp (speaking) is enjoying a new music ministry position at St. James the Less in La Crescenta....good times, great prayer, awesome community.

5) Jacob has finally learned how to fly and will be arriving at any of our out of state praise nights by way of himself. ( He will still check his luggage. Most likely on our flight) Hes doing well and having a great time with his wife in his first year of marriage.

6) THE NEW ALBUM.... 13 songs and still writing. Over the years we have discovered a lot about what it means to write a prayer in form of a song. Its so challenging to try to articulate Gods overwhelming love in under three minutes. Because Matthew, Jacob and I are involved in the writing process three different stories collide and the song writing tends to go through a lot of sorting out.Nevertheless, 13 songs and still writing.

PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS as we continue on this journey. OUR PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU CHURCH!

Cheers,

MP
