Tracking BGV’s on McClarney

Just finished a bgv session on McClarney’s project.  

MK was joined by Jason Eskridge (artist and background singer for Jonny Lang) and Nickie Conley.  They killed it…put these tunes to bed!

Jason insisted on wearing one of my hats during the session.

Jonathan Kingham

Jonathan Kingham stopped over and stayed at the Skinner house last night.  Jonathan (singer, songwriter, producer), is one of our west coast friends.  

Great guy and a great talent.  Smokin’ player.  He entertained the heck out of MK and I a few years ago when we caught our first show of his.

Kansas and the Littlefest!

We had such a blast at ‘The Little Festival on the Prairie’ and we’re all still riding high from it!  I honestly had the best time I’ve had in years and the band was burning!  

Oh yea and we had side splitting laugher, from our early morning rehearsal on Friday (before heading to the  airport), until we cam home.  I can’t wait to get out again!!

KC Band

The Band

Run through at the Hanson’s amazing farm house!

John Ragsdale

MK and I have made some new great friends in the Ragsdales!  John just recorded a new live project with Jeff Balding producing and engineering.  John and I wrote a new song for his record, called ‘Tenderly’.  It’s a good one and I can’t wait for you to hear it (and hear his new project)!  I was honored to  guest on a few tunes.  This project is going to be really special.

Lindell and Rags (Lindell’s on the record too.

Have a great time learning from some of the best!!

This is going to be a blast!!  We’re hosting a Songwriting clinic with some of the true craftsmen of our time!  Take advantage!

One of my all time favorite things is writing songs and on this occasion I’ll be joined by some of my all time favorite people, including Grammy Award Winning Songwriter Tommy Sims (’Change the World’-Eric Clapton) and others. 

 

 

A new song I just wrote

Croatia

Croatia was a huge success, with students coming together from all over former Yugoslavia. What wonderful souls they have!! We played in the Main Square of Zagreb to a crowd of 3000-4000. It was a historic moment and we got to be a part of it. God’s doing something beautiful in Croatia—more on this later!!!!

Superlove!

Anthony wins 1st place in the ISC

“To Really Love”, took first place in the gospel category!  Anthony has posted the song on http://myspace.com/anthonyskinner for awhile so go check it out!
