I just wanted to stop in and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! There are so many things to be thankful for and I know that I am truly blessed!! Be careful on the roads and enjoy mass quantities of Turkey!!!

We are about to release Freeze Frame Time as the new single set for December 5th. Not many artists release a single during the holiday season, but I feel this song has something to offer and am willing to take the chance to get this song to the masses! With that being said it is crucial for everyone to make regular calls to your radio stations to request this song!!! All your help is greatly appreciated!!!
Speaking of Freeze Frame Time I would like to acknowledge my friend Dave Kelly in Joplin Missouri for something really special. Dave is a DJ in Joplin and is actively working with the Childrens Miracle Network. He put together a montage for CMN using Freeze Frame Time and I have to be honest with you... It brought tears to my eyes. We are putting the montage on the web site so everyone can listen and enjoy. Once again, Thanks Dave! Work Well Done!!!

I have a really busy December and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the shows! Thanks to Sara and Heather and Megan and Amber for helping us out with merch on the road this last weekend!! Adios mi amigos.

God Bless,
Brandon Rhyder

It is what it is! Conviction slow pokin' down a black top spinning out of control like a merry go round in California when a storm blew in and a soldier told me to let the good times roll, but I said I can't hang on even though I love the rain because it was movin too fast and I was between here and the front door, and by the time I heard him scream go back in fool I was losing the war and there was no way I could freeze frame time. That is the record in a nut shell that ya'll are buying and burning like it's going out of style. Thanks so much for helping me get this record out!!! I really really mean that. I only have one gripe! If you come up to me at a show half tight and tell me you found out about me from a friend who burned the CD for you... you must in return buy the record!!! No questions asked! Comprende? In this day and age sales equal diesel!!

Kelli is growing by the day and I'm loving every minute of it! Last night we were on the way home from Home Depot (looking at paint schemes for the baby room) when Kel told me she was hungry. I knew she was fishing for Mexican food but I wanted her to tell me. Well, she did tell me about the time we passed Maudi's and I said "if you want to go, let's go". I have never seen a pregnant woman cross three lanes of traffic so fast in my life. I'm just thankful there was no one in our way!!! Within 15 seconds of my agreement we were parked and running for the door. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing my friends!!! Oh, by the way... It's a boy!!!!!!!!

I'm going to Steamboat solo and will be doing a couple of acoustic shows while enjoying the new year in the snow. I encourage everyone to go. I love the lineup and I'm really looking forward to seeing all my buds! Let's make some snow angels!!!

I fly out in the morning for Nashville and will be back in time for the show Saturday night at Gruene Hall! I hope to see you there!!! Once again, many thanks to you all and may God bless you!
