i would like to personally thank Sergeant Michael Brown for putting this video together. i wrote the song after having a dream one night about a soldier. it really is more of a prayer put to music than anything. may we never forget that our men and women are at war and we must continue to give them all the support we can. regardless of whether you politically agree with this war or not. they are fighting for our country. we salute you!!!!!

you can watch the video on our myspace front page and on youtube.

may God bless you all.

Hey one and all. i feel like we just had christmas, but it is already february. where did january go? steamboat was a blast as always. this was the first year we took a bus to the rockies and i must admit i think i'd rather fly. i remember driving it in my excursion in 07 and i remember how scary it was getting through rabbit ear pass. this year i went and climbed in my bunk and prayed we'd make. we did. great shows, great friends, great trip. thank you for all the support! every year when we get back from CO i always see a spike in attendance and this year has been no different. all the shows have been great and we even sold a couple of venues out. it's gonna be a hell of a year.

kelli and i are expecting in june a bouncing baby........ girl. yup. that's right. daddy's gonna have a little girl that will wrap him around her finger! i'm gonna let her start dating when she's 30. sounds fair to me!! she'll have a big brother and that's comforting... a little bit. what fun we will have. dusty turned two this week. hard to believe my little man is isn't so little anymore. he's a blast!!!!!!

we hope to have a new cd out this summer. that's my goal. we're starting to add some new songs to the set. come check them out!!!!

we just released "before i knew your name" as a single a couple of weeks ago. it's climbing the charts and you can help it get to number one!!!!!! call your radio stations please. especially in the some of the big cities where we get a little love but need more. thx guys.

i would like to announce that jon folk at buddy lee attractions in nashville will be taking over booking for the brandon rhyder camp. i look forward to branching out throughout the states and am confident he's the right man for the job. welcome to our team.

i would also like to extend a special thank you to ricky and bruce at kb talent for all the hard work you've put in. we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you guys. thanks

don't blink... it'll be summer before you know. i can't wait to see all your smiling faces at a venue near you soon. take a road trip too. it just doesn't get much better does it?
i love you all. thank you and may God bless.
