Hello. We are calling it a day after a busy couple of weeks and a very busy weekend. Friday night we had a wonderful time up in Sweetser, IN at Liberty Baptist Church. We met some new friends and had a great time of worship together. However, we didn’t get home until around 1:30am that evening and had to be at Traders Point Christian Church at 6:30am Saturday morning.

The day was long but great on Saturday. We were so thankful to be a part of the event with Tony Dungy and the rest of the CCN crew. We didn’t leave TPCC until around 3pm Saturday then went home and crashed! We got to come back to TPCC Sunday morning and lead worship for their two Services. It has been a terrific weekend but a tiring one as well. So…I am going to sleep!

Today Hunter and I returned home after a traveling on and off for the past couple weeks promoting “Hero” to radio stations all across the country. We have had a wonderful response to the song and are excited about what God is doing through it.

Last night we had dinner in Portland, OR with one of my favorite authors Donald Miller. Also, with good friends Wade Trimmer and Hannah Harrod from The Mentoring Project (formerly the Belmont Foundation). It was great getting to see them and hear what they are up to.

This Friday night we will be in Sweetser, IN at Liberty Baptist church at 8:00pm. Also, Saturday morning from 9 am to 1pm we will be performing at Traders Point Christian Church here in Indy with Tony Dungy as he promotes his new book “Uncommon”. Then, we will be coming back to TPCC Sunday morning to lead worship for their two morning services at 9am and 10:45am. If you are in the area we would love to see you!

Hey all, I received this message this morning via Myspace and was so touched by the story. I asked if it was ok for me to share it and they said we could. You never know when God gives you a song how He will use it to minister… Chris

Hi,
We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for the song Hero. My son (7) and I heard it for the first time this morning on the way to dropping him off at school. His father passed away July 1st last year due to PTSD from a trip to Afghanistan with the Marines. My son is 7 and although a rock of understanding, he misses him so much. He thinks of him as his hero angel that watches him. So when he heard your song this morning he said it was on the radio cause his dad sent it to him to listen and know he’s here in the car with us right now. I started crying and so did he… only with a smile on his face. I know a song can mean many different things to many different people and I’m not sure if anyone ever tells you their encounter with hearing a song for the first time but I thought I’d share how it really touched our lives.

Thanks again!
Robyn & Kezwick

Alright! This morning we woke up in Sarasota, FL and had a great time being on Joy FM. “Hero” seemed to be well received and they have been so supportive of “Live For You”.

Once we left the station we raced to the Sarasota airport where we just barely made our flight. From there we flew to Baltimore, MD. From the airport we drove to the restaurant Clyde’s where we met Ben and Angela from WGTS. We had a wonderful time hanging with them for a couple hours and could have stayed even longer if we didn’t have to drive to New Jersey. Being landlocked in Indy makes me really appreciate good seafood (I had steamed mussels).

I am now in my hotel room somewhere in New Jersey and tomorrow morning we will be on WAWZ which has a huge listening area from Philadelphia to NYC!

We will be heading home after that where I get to hang out with my wife for her birthday!

We will be going back on the road next week visiting Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland, OR. Check back in and I will keep you updated!

Have a great Valentines Day (guys remember its this Saturday)!

Howdy! (sorry we have been in Texas and its beginning to rub off).

Well, this morning we started our day at the beautiful ranch of John and Sherry Rivers. We had a great opportunity to hang and share our music with the K-LOVE listeners. We spent a couple hours talking and performing live. The Rivers Ranch is not your ordinary Texas ranch. John and Sherry own a couple Camels, Llamas, peacocks, and other interesting creatures. Hunter’s son Josiah got to pet the wildlife. After we left the ranch we hopped on a plane for Orlando, FL where we got to have dinner with Jeff Cruz from Z88.3 and his family. We had a wonderful time getting to see Jeff again and getting to meet his terrific wife and two kids Eli and Naomi.

Tonight we are crashing in Sarasota where we will be on Joy FM around 8:45am.
Another great day!

Hello all. Right now we are finally calling it a day! We have had a crazy and wonderfully busy day of visiting radio stations around Texas. Last night we flew into Houston and drove to Lufkin, TX and arrived at our hotel around midnight. We started the day visiting KSWP (in Lufkin) at 6:45am. Then we drove a couple hours back to Houston where we stopped at KSBJ. Then hopped back in the car for a few more hours to Austin where we performed a short set at KPEZ. Next we drove about 4 hours over to Dallas and had the opportunity to have dinner with Hunter’s parents before calling it a night at John and Sherry Rivers ranch where tomorrow morning we will be on KLOVE.

If you are in a listening area for KLOVE be sure to listen to us around 8:00am (central time). It has been a full and exciting day and we are EXHAUSTED! Check back in and I will do my best to keep you updated on our trip because we are just getting started!

Hello! I know that we have done a poor job with keeping our blog updated but we are back! During football season not much goes on around Connersvine. HOWEVER, Its music season now!

We just wanted to remind everyone to check out our Myspace page for the most up to date list of concerts.

If you happen to live in the Indianapolis area we wanted to let you know of a special event that we are doing at Traders Point Christian Church on February 21st. This event will be with Tony Dungy, Stephen Arterburn, and others.

You can purchase tickets on Traders Point’s website. Hope to see you there!

Hi. I just wanted to share something great with everyone. This Friday night
my wife and I will be attending one of our now favorite holiday traditions.

Each holiday season Andrew Peterson and friends travel around the country and share the Behold the Lamb of God production. This Friday night they will be in Kokomo, IN at Grace United Methodist Church. If you are around and looking for something actually fun to do on Friday night you should come out and support them.

This year Andrew will be joined by Bebo Norman, Jill Philips, Andy Gullahorn and two of my favorite people Andrew Osenga (played guitar on our album) and Ben Shive (producer on our album). This wonderful night will not disappoint. Hope to see you there!

Hey good people of the inter-web!

First of all I apologize for being so bad at keeping up with what is going on. The reason is that really…there is not much going on.

Right now I am in LA with my lovely wife. She had to come out here for business so I decided to tag along. Yesterday I drove down to San Diego and visited one of our producers Pete Kipley. It  was a great time hanging with him and the weather is ridiculous here. Being from the snowy Mid-west  its really hard to hear to hear Christmas songs and walk outside to a sunny 75 degree day. Not that I am complaining.  

We played a show Friday night in New Palestine, IN and we had a great time.  Thanks so much to all of you that came out and supported us and the cause.  We are currently working on booking for the Spring and we will get those dates out as soon as we have them.

Hope everyone is well!

I am now in the middle of Oregon’s wine country and boy is it a tasty country. Last night I had the great opportunity to perform a short set and the song I wrote for The Mentoring Project (TMP) in downtown Portland. The night was perfect until Don Miller called me up COMPLETELY UNEXPEDTEDLY to share “My story” and connection to fatherlessness and TMP. After I was finished I was grateful to share my story and humbled by the opportunity.
