Temple Veil

Greetings to all,

We hope all is well as summer is quickly approaching. It's been an incredible journey already for us just six months into this project. We were told we were crazy to go on the road with no established name for the new project, no album, and no merchandise, but we were given a call and we followed that call even though it made no sense. We dove head first into touring and over the past couple months we have been so blessed to have already performed over 75 shows in over 20 states for thousands of amazing people.

There have been some shaky moments along the way, but God has provided above and beyond for us. At one point we put our last fifty buck in the gas tank and drove to our next show in Oklahoma only to run into an ice storm and have the show cancelled. All of our phone bills, etc were also due at the time and no show equals no money, and no gas means no getting to the next show, and no phone means no getting more shows. It was a frustrating situation. Just before our phones were scheduled to be shut off, we got a call that a random, unexpected check made out to us arrived in the mail and the amount was the exact amount of all of our bills. The point is that while not all of us may be called to sell everything we own except our guitars and violins and drive around the country in a van playing music for people, all of us do have a calling placed on our lives. And no matter how crazy it seems or how much it doesn't make sense, when we are obedient to that calling, even when it's really difficult and even when it's not what we want, we will be taken care of and blessed in unbelievable ways.

The number one question we have been asked on the road is, "Do you have a CD?" When we started Temple Veil the purpose was to leave people after the show in a more intimate place with Christ and not to market CDs in the venue's lobby, and that still is and will continue to be our main focus and purpose. After some discussion with our management, we've had an awesome opportunity present itself for us to work on a record with a very talented producer. So in light of wanting to reach more venues as well as leaving you with music to listen to after the show, we will be officially going into the studio next week to record our debut acoustic EP.

We will be heading into Orangudio Studios in Columbus, OH to work with producer Tim Neely (Pulse Records, Mark Townsend - DC Talk, House Of Heros, Daryl Wicker - Point of Grace) and engineer Drew Bullock (Everyday Sunday, Red Flecks). We will keep you updated along the way with the progress of the record and everything as far as a release date, pre-ordering, track list, etc. We are really excited about putting this together. It will be unlike anything we've ever done.

After a few weeks of tracking in the studio, we will be heading back out on the road on an extended coast to coast summer tour. This will be our first time to tour the west coast as Temple Veil, and we are really looking forward to going back out there with something fresh, new, and totally different. Our dates are filling up and we can't wait to see all of you. We do have some slots still open here and there across the country, so if you, your church, or venue would like to have us, send us an email to templeveil@gmail.com. Even if we can't make it this summer, we will go ahead and schedule you for next fall. See you soon!
