10.26.11 AT "THE WELL"

Hey guys,

The Spirit and Truth Band has been given the privilege to lead worship at a ministry starting up in the Hixson area called "The Well," and we are excited to be a part of this new movement God is beginning in our local city.

Here's an excerpt taken from The Well's facebook page:
"The Well is not only a Wednesday night worship service held on Wednesday nights at Hixson First Baptist Church, it is a movement to reach out to individuals and families in the community and around the world who are in need of the love of Christ. Embracing the concept of up-reach, in-reach, and out-reach, The Well is a proactive response to the great commission, striving to raise up individuals to better serve our savior Jesus Christ."

Hope to see you guys there!

God bless,
-Timmy

NEW EVENT: ACOUSTIC WORSHIP NIGHT

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that Stacy Carmosino, Jack Saunders, and myself will be leading a night of worship in the Carmosino home 7pm this Sunday night.

Big, grand, corporate worship is great, but there is something awesome about gathering together in an intimate setting before the Lord to seek His face.

Join us for a night of worship, prayer, and encouragement in the Word as we simply come before the feet of our Maker.

Click here to go to the event page on facebook and RSVP.

Hope to see you there!

God bless,
-Timmy

P.S. Also, we are currently working on getting a few more shows booked to be sure to check back here or on facebook from time to time in the next few days to find out more.

Hey guys,

You may have noticed that the Spirit and Truth Band has been slowly breaking into the world of the net. I've been anxious for a while now to be able to post this, but I am excited to say that "Volume One" is finally available at almost all online music distribution sites - the biggest of which being iTunes, Amazon, and CDBaby!

If you haven't been able to come by the church and grab your physical copy for whatever reason (too lazy, live out of state, etc), click on your link of choice below to download the album.

iTunes
Amazon
CDBaby

We hope that you guys are blessed by these songs, and we look forward to what God's going to do through them.

Thanks and God bless,
-Timmy

CD RELEASE / THANKYOU / LOOKING AHEAD

The concert this past Sunday night was soooo awesome! We could not have asked for a better group to worship with. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to everyone who came out and to everyone who bought CDs. It really means a lot to us that you guys would do that.

Also, I wanted to let you know where the Spirit and Truth Band will be going from here.

SUNDAY MORNING:
The point of recording an album in the first place is to use it for worship so you can expect to hear these songs every now and again on Sunday morning. Hopefully we won't wear them out :)

MORE SONG WRITING:
One of the reasons that we're so excited about this CD is because it is the first of many to come! Starting now we are going to try to begin a habit of writing songs together as a team and cultivating our own little pocket of worship music that is relevant to where we are as a church.

THE BAND:
Something else that we hope will happen from this is that we will be able to take our music out from this place. Conferences, concerts, acoustic worship on the street corner ...we don't really know yet, but we do know that if we continue to run after God then He will direct our steps.

BUYING THE CD:
If you missed the chance to buy the CD Sunday night do not worry; we will be selling them in the GCC bookstore every week before and after service. Also, you are now able to buy the CD right now online at CDBaby.com, and soon it will be available on itunes as well. Click here to go to CDBaby.com

We appreciate your prayers as we don't really know exactly what's in store for us now. Just pray that God would use us the way He sees fit ...for His glory.

Thank you for your time and God bless,
-Timmy

P.S. Here are some more pictures from the concert. Go to the Spirit and Truth Band facebook page to see them all.

THEY HAVE ARRIVED!


The CDs are here! Don't forget this Sunday night at 6pm we will be debuting these songs at the CD release concert. The album will be available on itunes as well, but I don't know when it's supposed to go up yet ...I'll let you guys know when i know.

Anyway, I can't wait to sing these songs together with you all Sunday. Hope to see you there!

God bless,
-Timmy

IT'S DONE!!! ...BUT IT WAS A BATTLE.

Hello all!

I am extremely proud to say that we are now completely done with the album! All we have to do now is sit back and watch the mail for the finished product to come in!

However...
...getting here was by no means easy.

Mixing / Mastering:
After spending all last week (literally 7am - 1am some days) mastering the cd to get them right, I have pretty much had my fill of listening ALL the songs for a while lol! It was totally worth it though. They came out great, and I'm really proud of everyone on the team for what we were able to accomplish.

Artwork:
This one almost didn't happen. When it came around to the Tuesday night we had picked to have the photo shoot there were warnings for extreme weather, but we went out anyway hoping to get done before the rains came. So, we get to Greenway Farms and the sky is MENACING! There was lightning every couple seconds, and we could literally see the rain getting closer. But, as you can see from the heading above, we did get what we came for. This was almost the last picture taken right before we ran to our cars and the rain hit like a waterfall. God held back the floodgates for us for sure!

Submitting Everything:
This is simple.
- We had until 4pm July 1st to get the artwork zipfiles uploaded, and due to internet problems that day, the stuff went through at 4:10pm. If it hadn't been for our awesome Disc Makers rep holding the doors open for us that would have happened.
- Thursday (today) July 7th was the last day to get the master copy of the CD to Disc Makers, and it got there yesterday at noon lol.

All in all...
We had a couple of close calls, but God's hand was in it from the moment we started recording to the moment I dropped off that master disc at the post office. I am so glad that He is always in control, because I know that without His peace I would not have made it through these last 2 weeks.

What lesson can you kids learn from all this? What did I learn? Don't set a release date before you actually have the hardcopy of the real thing in your hands.

Seriously though, it came out amazing! I can't wait for you guys to hear it in its entirety, and more than that, I can't wait for the first time we get to worship together with them! For now, you can go to the Spirit and Truth Band Facebook page to listen to a preview of each song.

God bless,
-Timmy

P.S. I will posting some behind the scenes pics from the photo shoot soon.

We are extremely excited and blessed to have this opportunity, and look forward to being able to play out more and more as God leads and directs us as a band.

You can go to his website to learn more and listen to his music here.

MARCH 13 CONCERT PICS

Here are some pics from the March 13th SPIRIT//TRUTH Acoustic Worship Night:





















God bless,

RECORDING PROGRESS: MARCH



Hello all!

So, we have been super busy with the recording the last month since my last post.

All the songs have gone from just being skeleton framed scratch tracks to now having drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and we just finished the rest of the electric guitar tracks Monday night! March was the big push, and now that it's through we can relax a little and take it slower through the piano and vocals. Please continue to pray for the team because these will take a lot more time to get right and can be frustrating.

Also, I will be posting a minute long teaser of one of the songs here in the next couple weeks so you guys can get a feel for how it's coming and get a grasp on exactly what it is that we're doing over here.

God bless,
-Timmy

P.S. Be on the lookout in the next couple days for photos from the Acoustic Night to show up here and on Facebook.

CONCERT: MARCH 13, 2011

Hello again,

One of the big differences in our worship ministry this year at GCC is the amount of worship events we will be hosting. In 2010 we had one concert every other month beginning in February, and we couldn't handle it. Don't get me wrong, each night was great, but 2 months isn't enough time to plan an event in the scale we wanted to. So, this year we decided that it would be best to only do three big nights of worship: one in the Spring, one in the Summer, and one in the Fall.

Here's the poster for Sunday, March 13th, 2011



The night will be hosted in the fellowship hall, and all acoustic! Also, there will be a time for us to get into small groups, pray together, and lift our needs to God. I especially can't wait to hear you all sing because 20 people sound like 100, and 100 sound like 1000 in that room!

Here is the link for the facebook event page so you can RSVP and we can get a good idea of who's coming. The night is totally free and is open to anyone from any church, so don't let it stop you from coming if you don't normally attend GCC.

Hope to see you then!
God bless,
-Timmy

OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE!!!

I am proud to announce that the official release date for the Spirit+Truth worship album will be JULY 17th 2011 at the worship concert for July!

I am SOOOOOOO excited to see the ball finally get rolling on this thing considering that it's been in the works for over two years now. The wait has been hard, but I know that God's timing is perfect.

All the song writers met Tuesday night to discuss the album, and we now have some new details set in stone that I want to share with you guys. The album will be have 7 tracks on it and will be titled "Spirit + Truth Worship Band: Volume 1." Why "Volume 1?" We figured that since we would probably keep making albums as long as we wrote songs as a church then it would be a good idea to keep track of them in volumes instead of album names that don't distinguish dates. This way, when we look back ten years from now, we don't have to try to find a copyright date on the album cover or anything to know when it came out; we'll just see Volume 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...etc.

I will be posting more blogs here soon with more details concerning the songs themselves so be on the lookout for that.

God bless,
Timmy

OFFICIAL STUDIO PICS

Hey everyone,
So, here are the pictures of the studio that I promised. The only thing that will change between now and when we start is that there will be some foam paneling on the walls soon.







Also, we set a date to begin recording in March, but until then we will be doing a lot of planning and pre-production so check back often for the latest news.

God bless,
-Timmy
