Soles 4 Souls Blogathon

Saturday, I traveled to Enid to play a benefit show for Soles 4 Souls. It’s an organization that takes new/gently used shoes as donations, and gives them to people who need them. It was a great time. Especially since it was at Davinci’s Coffeehouse, my favorite that I’ve ever been to! Eric Castillo, http://followeric.com, put on the whole deal and did a great job. That night, we...

New talks

I’ve been talking to a few people, and things are coming together to start really moving ahead on some exciting things. I’m going to do this stuff up as big as I possibly can. I hope that everyone will stay with me on this new journey I’m about to take on. It’s going to be hard, probably stressful, and seem almost impossible. But this is going to be one of the best times in...

New winds blowing

So I wrote about the band earlier. Well, two months ago. Sorry about that… I wrote about writing. I’m really excited right now. The writing has been going great! Getting close to having an entire EP done. Jerry has a lot to do with writing his parts, but that will turn out. But that’s going great. The other thing is a new thing. I’m writing with Ray Darter, and Corey...

Well, that was short

So to anyone who reads this, you heard me talk about the band. It was going good. Getting songs written, just had a lot of trouble finding a vocalist. But we had a few songs dome, and were writing. Good progress. The band is done. I guess a couple members weren’t happy about the slower process we were having to go through. That’s okay. They are doing other bands and projects, and...

Tomorrow's Song

Jon Foreman tweeted a challenge for everyone to write a song over the last four hours titled “Tomorrows Song”. Here’s the lyrics for mine. Thanks for reading! I’ll write my song for tomorrow, today. And I’ll say goodbye to the sorrow I’ve made And the memories are echoing through the halls Well I’ve been lonely, but I’ve been holding on Yeah...

First steps

The band has officially practiced once, and will again tonight. We finalized one song, and wrote half of another one. It’s going great, now. Good guys, and good tunes, I hope. There really isn’t much to update about this, because not much has gone on. Except we did figure out a name!!!! But I’ll wait to tell you that. I, on the other hand, have just finished two songs within the...

A little update

I have began to piece together a band in Tulsa. It will be rock, of course. I have really enjoyed the process. I’m kinda learning about myself in the finding, interviews, and everything else. It’s been a good ride so far, and have some good dudes. Also I’ve began writing again. And by writing, I mean I’ve seriously started writing. So hopefully, that will be finished, and...

Eye opener...

So me and my wife, Jess, decided that we would baby-sit my baby niece for a week. She’s seven months old, and cute as ever! But she is also a very easy baby. But, she is still a baby, and it can be hard work. Now, admittedly, I haven’t had to do much. Jess has done most of it. But I have observed a lot. I have realized how much I love kids. But, I have also realized how much I need to...

Spit balling

I don’t really know what this is going to be. I just need to write something… Have you ever been so frustrated with where you’re at, that you wish you could just pick yourself up, and put you back down wherever it is that you think is best. I have been feeling like that lately. But I’m coming to realize, as long as I’m working towards what I’m hoping for, and...

huh...

have you ever noticed that life, with as many routines as we forcefully place in it, is a surprise. there’s no way i would have guessed my life would have turned out this way so far only two years ago. already, i’ve done a lot of my goals that i had in high school. one of those being in a band signed to a record label. I’m also married. I have a thing I say, that I didn’t...

hey guys...

There’s no reason why anyone should be reading this. On account of the fact i haven’t posted in over 4 months. But if you are I thank you. So here is what’s going on. Starlit Platoon has now become Glory Fall. Ray Darter, guitarist, has decided to go his own way. He’s been with the band for so long, and this is what he feels he needs to do. Now, we have a new guitarist...

dang....

I only have 3 songs left to track. Hope it goes well. All the ones I’ve done so far have been good. I’m happy with them, so far. Anyways…. I just rode my bike from the apartment, to the bank. Longest bike ride I’ve ever done. It was good though. Learned how out of shape I was, and saved some gas. But my seat is really hard, and makes every bump exceptionally uncomfortable....

a long awaited update.

Well, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote. Where to begin. Let’s start with the easy stuff first. Cody and Sarah came to visit last weekend. The 70.3 mile Ironman was last sunday, and them, Jim and Amy, BJ, Jeff Eaton and his family, and Melissa all came for it. It was a really good weekend. Especially hanging out with Cody and Sarah. Miss that. This weekend, Jenna and Cat came...

ugh.

I just posted a big update, and then posted. But I got disconnected from the internet, and it didn’t post, and erased it. so here’s the shorter version of what I just typed. Apartment is good. It gets messy really easily. I cleaned the whole thing yesterday, and after dinner, it’s messy again. more cleaning. Went to watch Corey play an acoustic show Thursday night. He did good....

updates

I’m married. It’s good. REALLY good. We have our apartment and home set up, for the most part. We’re still trying to make sure everything is where we want it. But so far, I like it a lot. Job wise, Jess is making me look bad. Has a job, and is already being talked about getting promoted. Yet, no one wants to hire Me. Oh well. I’m going to go play downtown with the case...

pre-wedding jitters

I’m sitting in the grooms dressing room, listening to the family and guest talking outside, and thinking, again, about how life is going by. I’m all of a sudden 20, and getting married, and i’ve never been more happy/shocked in my life. I’m becoming a husband today, and a lifetime partner for someone. Though I doubt myself, I also have the confidence to go through with...

Here’s a short and to the point update on what’s going on with my life. I’m getting married this friday. I’m moving into Jess and I’s apartment Tuesday. Starlit Platoon got signed to Avista/Sony BMG records. We’re going on tour this June through July with a band Alakrity and singer/songwriter Vanessa Rose. We’re dropping a record in September, which means...

this sucks

I hate the fact that every freaking interview I’ve had in this town has asked me, “Is there a certain reason why you haven’t had a job yet?” I say, “It’s just that nobody has either had a position open, or they weren’t able to work with my schedule.” Then. a week later, they say, in general words, “Sorry, we’re not going to be able to...

Long post, but really late one.

Thursday night was one of the hardest nights I’ve had in Kansas yet. We played a show with the band Spoken. They were really cool dudes. The first band played, and they did really good. The second, did alright. Then we were up. I was setting up my drums, making sure they were tuned up. Well, like an idiot, I didn’t warm up. When you play like I do in this band, it’s a must. So, I...

a little late...

But I got there. How’s everyone doing? I hope you all are good. Miss you all who read this. Can’t wait to come home again. I have another show Wednesday. Should be a fun time. I’m legally not old enough to get in. But, being in the band, I kinda have to be let in. To bad I can’t get a drink…. ha. Oh well. I just started playing at Indian Creek today(...

the second stay

So I’m back in Olathe. The past week has been good. We played two shows. The first one, which is where the picture came from, went great. With only one practice, we were able to put on a good show. The second show went alright. It was kind of an awkward night for everyone. I had to use someone else’s drums. Seventh Day Slumber’s drums, to be exact. His are a lot bigger than the...

first show

Last night was the first show I had with Starlit Platoon. It was so much fun. My family and friends, and FIANCE were there. So I felt right at home, away from home. It could have gone better, but still went awesome. All the guys are awesome. They really welcomed me. I’m so excited about this now that I’ve played a show with them. It will be an awesome journey. Though, I also...

goodbye party

I had a good time tonight. I got encouraged, and that’s a lot of what I need right now. It’s getting hard to even think of leaving. Especially with the fact of being engaged. Jess and I’s whole engagement with practically be spent apart from each other. So that’s going to be really hard. But I know this is what’s right for me. Though I have no clue as to what’s...

super late update

I’m sitting at Davinci’s, and realized I haven’t posted this. I am moving next week. Basically. But here’s the story. Brandon Estelle, the drummer for superchick, has a band called Starlit Platoon. The drummer in that band is leaving. And a long time ago, or a year and a half, SP and my old band, Regaining Jerusalem, played a show together. We sucked!!! We did pretty...

Alright!

I’m super lame at this blog. Sorry for absolutely anyone who’s ever checked it out. Anyways, new start. This weekend my sister(Sarah), and Cody are getting married. Pretty crazy that it is already happening. But it’s a good thing. Next weekend, I’m going to Colorado with Michael to have some fun. It will be a good time. Anyways, that’s all for this week. Really...

a quick update

So Greg Stratton is moving back on Wednesday. I’m excited for that. I have also just written my first full song, musically speaking. I’m hoping that starts to come together soon. Other than that, I’m just working, and going to church. Hope you all had a good labor day weekend, and have a great week.

He's Back

Yes, Kalyn is back. Of coarse, most of you already know that. But i haven’t written on this thing in awhile. So i figured i would. I have to find another job, which sucks. But i have to. Other than that, nothing is really going on. hope you all have a great week. Write again later.
