New song "Hold Me In Your Arms"!
Thanks for all of the support for my song release “Hold Me in Your Arms”. If you haven’t heard it yet you can hear 3 mixes here. Any donations towards the song will be used for the music video and promotion of this tune. Thanks for the love ❤️
Sometimes we all need to be reminded how loved and cherished we are.
This song came from a place of feeling lost and overwhelmed and of being unsure how to proceed. It's a request, a prayer to be reminded that I am loved, seen and held. I hope that it reminds you that you are loved, seen and held, too. It will be released later this month on all streaming platforms.

Being in the studio recording with friends is life giving to me. My song, Hold Me in Your Arms, started out at home with me writing on the piano. When Joseph @jrbamber @chasingsummerus and I wanted to record it we called up our friends Thomas at @paperswanstudio, @mikehicksmusic and @danwheelermusic . Sharing meals and tracking songs was so fun.
This was the first layer of this song coming to life, me on acoustic guitar and vocals, Joseph on bass, Thomas on drums and engineering, Mike on keys/wurly and Dan on electric guitars.
Hold Me in Your Arms comes out on February 13th.

I’ve heard a lot of great things about Portugal but didn’t know just how gorgeous it would be. Joseph and I took a little vacation thiw week in the middle of our tour to Porto, Portugal. The food, the people, the Fado music, the wine and the architecture were all incredible.
Here is a glimpse of our first two days. We visited a local church, ate some delicious traditional food and walked along the waterfront. Thank you to all of the friends who gave us great recommendations! ❤️ Thanks to Joseph @jrbamber for organizing the vacation, too.

Joseph and I cleaned our house and the side apartment, gave the pups baths and haircuts, did tons of garden work and laundry and then we celebrated the arrival of our brand new albums (physical and digital for our solo and duo). We are exhausted and thankful to be on the plane heading to Germany. ❤️🙏🤪 for my 25th Anniversary Summer Tour. We have some great players joining us! Prayers appreciated. @jrbamber
Joseph @jrbamber and I had quite a wonderful week having some friends and family in town. We got to spend time with Joseph’s uncle and aunt, his cousin, his wife and their 2 teens from Colorado. 😁
Then our friend Armin and his daughters who live in Switzerland came through to visit. We pulled out our Swiss Raclette for them. It was a fun time. 🍷
My friend Perry from my university days came to visit for a day from Atlanta and we got to celebrate his birthday. 🎂
I’m thankful for the moments of beauty and the friendships. 💕❤️
Happy Anniversary Joseph! It’s been 13 years of marriage and we are still walking forward and having so many adventures. I’m blessed to have you as a husband, a friend, a musician to create with, and a teammate to share truth and love wherever we go around the world. I’m so thankful for you. ❤️💕🎉@jrbamber
Well, friends, I’ve been sick for 2 weeks and I’m hopefully coming out of that now. It’s been rough. Today I sat in the sun for a bit and took in the beauty around. Springtime is in full force. The peach blossoms and cherry blossoms are so vibrant and fragrant. Joseph @jrbamber gathered some blossoms to dry for tea. I stepped outside long enough to gather some violet flowers. Both of our pups are enjoying this weather. For those out there struggling, I’m praying for your health, for your wellness and for the beauty of spring with the warmth of the sun to encourage your heart.
The concert in Ohio 2 weeks ago was so fun! Our dear friends who used to be our neighbors in Nashville moved to Ohio to pastor a church there. They asked Joseph @jrbamber and me if we would be a part of a benefit concert along with @thebrandoncarswell, Joey Mills and @mmconrad36 . Of course we said yes! The atmosphere so fancy with the high ceilings and stained glass windows and so beautiful with the kind people and candles all around.
Seeing our friends and meeting their daughter was a highlight. One great surprise was that I got to see a friend from high school, Cole Baker and to meet his wife. We also had our friend and past neighbor stop by, too, Jim Murray. Thank you to @gracecentralcolumbus for having us. The fundraiser was a great success! We hope to see you again soon. ❤️
Hey Friends! I can’t wait to come over to Europe this summer for my 25th Anniversary Tour for my solo music and the 13th Anniversary of the Chasing Summer duo with Joseph @jrbamber . It’s been a great adventure and I cherish all of the friends that we have met along the way. We will be there from the end of May until the end of July.
It was so incredible to have this band mini-reunion after 12 years! These two have always been like brothers to me and I love them dearly. They were the first band to tour in Germany with me back in 2000 at the EXPO 2000, World’s Fair. Chris Souza came through town because he was playing with Hans Zimmer!! Amazing. 🎉Kevin Cuchia lives in Nashville so fortunately we get to hang more often.
We reminisced the greatest and craziest stories from our years of playing music and traveling together. It was a great meal at @curryandtikka with lots of good stories and laughter. I’m truly thankful. ❤️
Yesterday Joseph @jrbamber and I celebrated the anniversary of the day that we met. It’s also the day that we got engaged 13 years ago. We tried out @harazcoffeehouse for the first time and then stopped by one of our favorite places, @livingwatersbrewing …Trying to take the time to celebrate important things even when things are stressful around the holidays and end of the year ❤️
It’s been 28 years ago this month that I played my very first concert with my own songs in Ooltewah, TN at “The Barn” while I was at Lee University. Seth, Adrian, and Matt came up to my dorm steps where I was playing and asked me open for their band. It was a huge deal to me. I’ll always be thankful.
Last month Joseph and I went back to the campus and I sat on the Nora Chambers Dorm stairs where I wrote many of my early songs. It was really life changing to be there for my first two years of university and to gain the confidence to write and to share my songs. Thank you to all of my friends who came out to encourage and support me at those early concerts. ❤️

Walking in the garden is a place for me to reflect and grow. Some of the weeds have grown so high and yet still I can find beauty there and can harvest cosmo flowers and Gingko leaves for tea, some late tomatoes, salad greens and jumbo okra. I’m thankful in times of overwhelm that God still meets me in the garden, even when it’s a mess, and He speaks to my heart.

This market was so fun to be a part of last year ❤️It’s a wonderful Christmas artisan market in Nashville filled with handmade beautiful and useful items.

Come out and do some Christmas shopping next month.#nashvillechristmas #artisanmarket #shoplocalnashville

It was lovely hanging with @susanne.m.kalweit and @roland_k_weit and fam in Wolfsburg, Germany. Susanne was my exchange sister in my senior year of high school. Every year I look forward to hanging with them. We had a lovely BBQ and took an epic walk in nature and stumbled across hundreds of sweet Mirabella plums. We had a grand time picking them and enjoying their delicious sweetness! ❤️ @jrbamber @chasingsummerus @caspars.private.life
@marione78 Micha and their girls loved on us so much during our stay with them. We cooked together, picked flowers and herbs, took a long walk together, got ice cream, made earrings and we played music at the Summer Fest that they hosted at their place in Germany. I’m thankful for these sweet friendships that span the years that Joseph @jrbamber and I are able to enjoy. ❤️ @chasingsummerus
The atmosphere at our @chasingsummerus Eichen, Germany show was so special! It was pure joy to share songs and stories. Thank you to Marion and Micha for hosting this fun summer festival and to all of those who joined us in singing and playing. The cakes and the conversations were very much enjoyed ❤️(with @jrbamber)
On the way back from Poland Joseph @jrbamber and I stopped in Berlin to catch up with some old friends and to see a few sights. We had a great time having lunch with @tobystereo and family and also visiting Freddi, my first music manager, and his wife Henrike, @hennekraft my roommate for a bit at the Expo 2000, The World’s Fair. ❤️
Our last day in Wrocław, Poland was filled with hanging out with our friends Piotr and Agnieszka. Joseph @jrbamber and I met up for a coffee at their place and then walked to a sweet restaurant. We made it just in time before a crazy rainfall. 😁 We met our friends Luke @lukaszsalomonbryla , Asha and their daughter for ice cream and hot chocolate near the main square, which is one of my favorite city centers in Europe. The buildings are so pretty. ❤️ @chasingsummerus
