A few things of importance:

So here’s the deal, if you’re in the Delmarva region tune into NBC10 at 11am and you’ll get to see us perform. Yay, right?! Hmm…I guess I need to sorta think about what I might wear on the show tomorrow. :/

beaver falls

Well I must apologize again for not posting much in the past week or so. The past 7 days have been crazy–I’m having a hard time remembering them even now.  From seeing old friends in Urbana, IL to hanging out with some amazing people in Minneapolis, Zion, IL., Deerfield, IL., and Nappanee, IN it’s been pretty crazy. We’ve had our ups and downs and are really learning to have faith! It’s been exhausting and exhilarating; draining and refreshing.  All of these things. All at once. Crazy!

Tonight we are finishing up the week in Beaver Falls, PA at Beaver Falls Coffee & Tea. If you are in the area you should really come out for this show. Mark Rice and Istavan Medgyesi are playing as well. It’s going to be a good time. We really like this place in general.

And tomorrow–we head to Delaware! We’re visiting Tyler’s family for Thanksgiving and playing some Christmas shows in the area. I can’t wait!

Texas Dates, Christmas Album info

We’ve been in the DFW area for a few days. We decided to come a little early to hang out with my parents. Sometimes it’s really nice to be “home.” I put home in quotes because I’m not from DFW. My parents moved to Texas back in January. Before that they lived in D.C. and before that I actually lived with them in Mississippi.  But somehow, wherever my parents are, even if I don’t know how to get around the town or find the nearest coffee shop, feels like home.

Not to mention Stewart is here. Which always helps.

So tonight we’re playing a show here. It’s a house show and it’s going to be a good time. Levi Weaver will be here.  He’s coming off of the west coast tour we were supposed to play with him and he’s exhausted, so come out and cheer him on one last time before he heads home to Nashville.

Details:

Tonight, Wed, Nov. 4th at 7pm. 826 Runnymede Rd. Keller, TX

There’s also going to be art here by Ivan Vesely. You may remember him as the artist who did the painting to “Plans for Us.” I’ve posted it here, so if you haven’t seen it, check a couple entries back and you should find it.

We’re playing another house show tomorrow night in Fort Worth.  Here are the details:

Thur. Nov. 5th, at 7pm. 3413 Rogers Ave. Fort Worth, TX

And I have new details on the Christmas EP.  It will be released Dec. 1st, BUT you will be able to preorder it sooner. AND when you preorder it you will get an instant digital download.  If you just want a digital copy of the album you will be able to preorder it that way as well and download your copy instantly (basically getting your music early). So be on the look out for the preorder in just a couple weeks.

And if you come to the show in Wilmington, DE on Nov. 29th, we just might have it for sale.

I think that’s all for now. Hope to see you guys soon!

Christmas music…

So I thought I’d give you a little update. Last Christmas we gave a few Christmas songs away via noisetrade.com.  This year we decided to produce an 8 song Christmas EP. It will be released to itunes shortly and you can buy it and listen to it during your Christmas festivities this year. We’ve reworked a bunch of old Christmas hymns, some that I’d never even heard before! I’m really excited about it, so keep an eye out for some J&T Christmas tunes. I’ll keep you posted.

Ivan’s Art

Our friend Ivan was inspired by “Pans for Us” and created a beautiful painting. We are humbled, honored, really and truly moved. You can see the creation to the music here. In a word: amazing.

Ivan’s art will be for sale at our show in Keller, TX. You can also see more of his work here: http://www.findivan.com/site/Welcome.html

coffee & brownies

It’s a dreary day in Nashville. I was going to make some coffee but discovered that we only have decaf. Slightly absurd don’t you think?  That proves that I never make coffee here.  It is crazy how much a girl can change in a couple years.  I used to be a coffee addict, I’m talking like 6-8 cups a day.  After Tyler and I got married he persuaded me to cut back to 2 cups and then before I knew it I wasn’t finishing my morning cup of coffee, and then somewhere along the way I stopped making it all together. I still love a good cup of coffee or a latte (I go out for coffee with friends wayyy too much) but I don’t need it anymore. Hopefully this isn’t ruining Coffee (the song off of a Prelude) for anyone. I promise it was true at the time.  And I still love coffee.

I baked brownies last night! I’ve been struggling to find the perfect brownie recipe for a while now.  I know, I could just bake brownies from the box, but there are all sorts of preservatives and weird chemicals listed as ingredients and I’m not having that if I don’t have to. My first attempt resulted in brownies of a really odd texture. They almost seemed spongey.  Then I came up with brownies that were a really light brown and not very chocolatey. But last night, I think I almost found the perfect recipe.  They are so good!  The problem with making brownies that are yummy is that I always want to eat the entire pan the first night. Self control, Jenny! Self control!

Anyway, I guess I should see what my day holds. I guess the good thing about the gray weather is that the colors of the fall leaves really are a beautiful contrast and I think they actually stand out a bit more than usual. Yay for fall!

Random happenings of the past couple days…

I love fall.

Yesterday I went with my brother to the Pancake Pantry in Hillsboro Village. If you live in Nashville and have never been I really do suggest it. Go on a week day when there won’t be a line and get some pancakes! if you’re visiting Nashville, you really should go.  On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings you’ll probably have to wait in line, but you can mosey around the shops in Hillsboro Village while you wait.  Just have people from your group take turns standing in line. OH–and you should get coffee from either Fido or Provence before you go. The coffee at the pantry isn’t good.  I usually get the raspberry pancakes, but I hear that the sweet potato ones are really good (and basically anything else on the menu.) So now that I’ve plugged the Pancake Pantry a whole bunch, I will move on.

It was a beautiful morning yesterday.  After breakfast we walked to Dragon Park.  It’s still pretty warm here in Nashville, but the trees are beginning to change and it feels more fall like than before. I know I posted about this before, but fall really is my favorite season.  I love the colors, the scents, and probably best of all the seasonal coffee drinks! I went with my sister-in-law to Crema last week and had the pellegrino. It’s a pumpkin latte made with real pumpkin. Delicious! Tyler and have been baking apple pies and pumpkin pies (from a real pie pumpkin!) too.  Tyler loves to cook.  And I love to eat. It works out pretty well.

Today my grandparents are stopping in Nashville for a few hours on their way home from visiting my uncle in Indiana. We’re going to have lunch. What a pleasant surprise!

I went to see the neurologist yesterday. Good news–I can still drive! This means Tyler won’t have to drive the entire length of the tour in November. I’m so happy about that. God has been providing for us hard core through all of this. From Jimmy Brown being able to replace us so easily on the tour to giving me the best doctor in Nashville.  It’s been pretty sweet.  Thank you for your prayers.

Well, I suppose to should get ready for the day.  We haven’t been feeling well for the past few days, and I’m hoping I can get rid of this sore throat finally today.  Being sick is lame!
