So exactly what is the Horns & Rhythm – Modern Worship – Volume 1 collection and how can I use it?

So exactly what is the Horns & Rhythm - Modern Worship - Volume 1 collection and how can I use it? A number of years ago, I created the Horns & Rhythm series of arrangements available for churches, schools and other ensembles.  This series is arranged for basically a 'horn band'. 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, 2-3 saxes and rhythm section.  Over the years, we've had tremendous response from the series. In the [...]

FREE Brass Quintet Music

I’ve got a free brass quintet for you (link down below to download it) but I would love to tell you about how and why I created it. I’ve played trumpet now for 40 years (started in 7th grade). I have played in all sorts of brass ensembles. I have played in wind ensembles, concert bands, marching bands, symphonies, pit orchestras, big bands, horn sections, church orchestras and, of course…brass ensembles. Over [...]

Show Dogs – in theaters Friday, May 18, 2018

So, tomorrow, Show Dogs opens in theaters across the US and I had the awesome opportunity to be a part of my friend David Shipp's orchestrating team and do orchestrations (and music prep) for this score composed by Heitor Pereira. And what that means is that I can now talk about this project. And, quite honestly, when you work on a project and want it to succeed and want to create more [...]

O Come, O Come Emmanuel – Cinematic Worship Series (Advent)

I am a sucker for strings. Always have been. I married a violin player for goodness sake. Quite a number of years ago now at The People's Church (now Church of the City), I created what I simply called 'String Sunday'. This was a Sunday at Christmas where we brought in a string ensemble and featured them for the whole service. Christmastime is often so busy and rushed so I like to [...]

God Bless the USA – Lee Greenwood with RamCorps

I had mentioned in an earlier update that RamCorps from The University of Mobile had asked me to help out with some arranging for their performances on the Duck Commander Cruise. RamCorps is a high-impact visual brass and percussion ensemble. High energy is RIGHT! For the last night's finale on the cruise, they were asked to play God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood. Their director, a friend of mine, Kenn Hughes [...]

I don’t know but he’s off the payroll (What do I do?)

When I first moved to Nashville, almost 21 years ago (January 1996), I moved here to 'do music'. In my mind, I knew what that meant. Music. Simple enough. But there are really a whole lot of facets to what I have had the opportunity to do throughout my musical career. After about 5 or so years of living up here, it became pretty clear that I was not moving back home. [...]

K-Love Cruise 2016, the Double Sea Horns and Danny Gokey

In my previous update I mentioned playing trumpet on the K-Love Cruise in the 'Double Sea Horns'. As a result of a conversation with one of our neighbors, Chad Mattson (Unspoken), we ended up playing with Unspoken on their brand new song 'Higher' for their concerts on the ship. That night after the concerts (2 sets), my wife Dana and I are walking down to get coffee with Chad and his wife [...]

K-Love Cruise 2016, the Double Sea Horns and Unspoken

I talked in a previous post about my experiences arranging music for the Duck Commander Cruise, RamCorps and Lee Greenwood. I 'officially' met a now dear friend, Mark Brannon, who is the CEO of Memphis Based travel company Premier. Mark is a great guy, and best of all...he's a trumpet player. (And a good one to boot!). Before that cruise had even set sail, we talked about horns on the K-Love Cruise. [...]

Panama City Pops Orchestra

I had the opportunity January 16th to fly down to Panama City as the Panama City Pops Orchestra, under the baton of Maestro Eddie Rackley, played my arrangement of Holy, Holy, Holy as the encore to their concert. The concert featured Grammy Award winning composer and artist Dick Tunney performing his Monkee's Concerto on the piano with the Panama City Pops Orchestra. His was the 'Hey Hey' and mine was the 'Holy [...]
