Music of the Moment

To the right you'll see a posted playlist of music. I'm happy to add this feature, because music is one of my great passions. My hope is that, A) you'll enjoy the same music I enjoy, B) it might spur conversation, and C) if you really like the stuff I post, you'll end up buying the albums, which of course supports the artists I love, and then they keep making good music.

Regardless, I hope you at least enjoy it, and it will be a great way for you to see the music that is currently inspiring me. (It's not a "live" playlist, so i build it when I have new stuff to share and it stays... but it's not music I am currently physically listening to).

Anyway, I'm starting with a band called Tenth Avenue North. They are absolutely awesome! I love their music, and I just bought their album on iTunes today.

It's funny. We were just in Phoenix, AZ, and I heard them on the radio in the car. I was surprised that I vaguely recognized the song (By your side), and I fell in love. Well, now that I've purchased the album (it comes with a music video), I realize I've actually seen them in concert before!

They opened for Mercy Me at the Orange County Fairgrounds, along with David Crowder Band. Anyway, I remember I liked them then, but I wasn't blown away. Perhaps it was the venue, or the anticipation for Mercy Me to appear. Perhaps it was the noisy uninterested crowds as they filtered into the ampletheater. Whatever the reason, I missed it. Now however, I'm thoroughly hooked.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
