Leeland

Hey guys!

So we've been at home for a few days enjoying some R&R with our families. The tour was amazing, but there were 26 shows packed into a little over a month! That makes for very few days at home (zero home days for some people on tour) as well as tired voices, and general loathing of bus bunks. Don't get me wrong, there are very few cons about touring, and the pros definitely overpower them. We have to pinch ourselves every once in a while and remember how blessed we are to get to live our dream.

The Night of Worship tour was particularly important for us, because our heart as a band is to lead the church and non-churched to Jesus. And we did just that. People were really impacted by the worship that went up, the word of God that was spoken, and the appeal we gave for Food for the Hungry.

We're really grateful that people showed up to the shows and dived into worship. Leeland got to share every night that our songs really mean nothing if we're not actually living a life to and for God. This tour drove that message deep into my heart and I'm changed because of it.

Here's a few more pix from the last week...

Matt Maher played an amazing set every night. Buy his record here! Top notch songs.

We've signed some crazy things (toasters, fruit, etc). This definitely makes the list. So random.

Playing some "team horse" with Phil and Taylor. We JUST thought of playing with two man teams instead of one on one. Crazy! It's so cool, try it. It get's out of hand and you start trying to do back flip dunks and stuff.

After the last show, we had our last supper.

And of course, you can't leave a diner without a shake. We slept well that night (for 3 hours until our 4:30 lobby call! ouch).

And the early flight home was worth it, because I made it home to this guy! Notice the Sound of Melodies onesie. Pretty awesome!

We're at home for a few more days until we head out to Brazil. Can't wait! We need to practice our Portuguese and our soccer skills. We'll give you some updates from South America this week!

love,

We've had a great couple weeks on the road. California was especially nice. Every show was amazing and we met some great people along the way. When we were in Sacramento we go tot go by the KLOVE studio...

Phil sharing about his single "Safe". Leeland listening intently.

Matt listening intently, or thinking about his fiance'.  : )

Getting prepped for our on air performance of "New Creation". A big thanks to AIR 1 for adding it!

Mike, giving us the crazy eye while signing after one of the shows.

A day on the Night of Worship Tour in five minutes. A big thanks to Marcus Hackler from Capital Christian Center for making this video!

It was another amazing night out here. The crowd was worshipful, happy... jubilant! We're now in in the bus watching a movie and talking about how awesome the show was. Heading to Bend OR tonight. Here's a couple pix...

Leeland sings Tears of the Saints. Great moment!

Mike signs a mans head. Great moment!
