Two Days ~ Two Concerts


Quite a weekend for us, musically speaking... Saturday night we were given the chance to see Harry Connick live at the Fox. Our kids got us 12th row tickets as a combined birthday gift... how's that for totally cool kids??? Anyway, Harry is traveling on his New Orleans tour with a 12 piece band almost entirely of musicians based in that city's musical roots. So it was a totally awesome concert. Very high energy, very fun!

Then today at Immanuel we had two opportunities to hear the group Fusebox. This band will be the praise band at the National Youth Gathering this summer. Led by singer/songwriter Billy Buchanan, these guys led worship with acoustic sounds in the fellowship hall this morning and then rocked the place with an evening concert. He has written a new song called "Child of God" as a theme song for the Gathering! It is a great song and one that you can't help humming for a long time after you hear it. Check them out on iTunes... both of their albums are available there!
