Hello!

This past Sunday I had the privelege of leading worship at an amazing church. “The Rock” in San Diego is the 5th fastest growing church in the USA. During their 5 services every Sunday they have about 12 thousand people coming in and out of their doors.

It was a busy but excellent Sunday – a real blessing to see so many faces and lead them into God’s presence.

Here are some pics!

The view from my mic during soundcheck!

Chris, the monitor engineer, working the board,,,

Right before the doors opened…

Jonny’s amazing guitars… (he has many, but these are two particularly amazing ones! Grestch and Dusemberg….)

Darla on drums…. I love female drummers!!!!

Thanks to my great band!! – Sarah MacIntosh on BGVs, Jonathan MacIntosh on electric guitar, Darla Hawn on drums and Time Devlin on bass. You guys were heroes to play that many services with me in a row!

Looking forward to visiting The Rock again on a Sunday when I’m not leading and experiencing their worship and teaching again. It was great. A special thank you to Stefanie, Regina, Gene, Chris and all the crew for making me feel so welcome

I had a wonderful, unexpected surprise this past week. My friends from the band “Leeland” – who if you’ve never met them are some of the greatest guys on the planet – were sound checking in San Diego for the Christian Music Awards. They had a few hours free, so they drove to the studio I’m recording in and sang some ‘gang vocals’ on some of my songs. Thanks guys!

Here are some pics…

Lots of headphone cables so everyone could hear and sing along!

The first step for recording was – turn off our phones! (You can see how many iPhone-users we had in the building!!)

Me teaching the songs on acoustic, and people learning the lyrics from their sheets…

Sarah teaching vocal parts… Baby Scarlett watches wishing she could join in the singing!

Some of the songs I joined the ‘gang’ and sang on… Others I just stood and watched as it was a special moment for me to see all those people singing my songs and bringing their voices and hearts to the record.

SINGING!

Jonathan, my Producer, at the desk recording it all!

Group shot! Thanks SO much everyone

Look for my 3 song EP coming out this Fall. Then the full-length album early next year! I can’t wait for you all to hear it.

Also…. Leeland’s brand new album hit the streets TODAY! Go buy it here!!

Are you part of a music community? Do you have people that you play with, sing with, jam with? For any musician or songwriter, a good musical community is a real gift from God. Do you have that or are you praying/searching for that?

Love,

Vicky

Hey!

So you’ve heard me talk on Twitter and this Blog about recording my new album. So I thought it was high time you SAW and experienced it for yourselves!

Check out this video I made – you’ll get a guided tour of the studio rooms and gear. Then you’ll get to meet my producer, one of my favorite co-writers, my A&R man Jay King, plus baby Scarlett – who makes us all smile everyday!

Question for you – have you done any recording? How did it go and what software/hardware did you use? Or are you someone wanting to know where to start in making a decent demo? Lets chat about recording…all questions and thoughts welcome below!

Thanks for your support and prayers – I couldn’t make this record without you and I hope all of the songs will lead you closer to Jesus!

Love,

Vicky
