“Art at its best draws attention not only to the way things are but also to the way things will be, when the earth is filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. That remains a surprising hope, and perhaps it will be the artists who are best at conveying both the hope and the surprise.” - N.T. Wright
Hi there!
I wanted to check-in with you to let you know 1) I haven't forgotten about you, and 2) there isn't a whole lot to update you about in my world. My calendar has a few shows (I'll get to that), but I have been focusing my energy and time on songwriting. So there isn't much happening "visibly" here.
SONG-CRAFTING
I am facing some new challenges and uncharted ground in the songwriting realm, which is a good thing, yet it can get uncomfortable. In other words, I'm growing. And it isn't always fun. Just today I received some feedback on a new song I have been working on. A trusted friend and mentor of mine, in a kind yet direct way, sent me back to the drawing board. So, I've got some work to do. Which is good. I'm glad I haven't "arrived". That would be boring. (NOTE: I am thankful for honest friends who aren't afraid to tell me things that I need to hear)
So, this is my world right now. Writing. Re-writing. Crafting my songs. I'm still hoping to get into the studio again this year to record some of the material I have been working on. When I do I'll be sure to give you updates!
I'm excited. This process, this journey doesn't always move at the pace I would like, but I am committed to creating with excellence. And, I am eager to see where this next batch of songs will take me.
ATLANTA SHOWS
In the meantime I'll be Instagramming, Tweeting, occasionallyFacebooking, AND I have a few shows coming up, which I'd love for you to attend if you can. Here's a simplified list. Details are atkurtscobie.com/shows
MAY 11 - DUNWOODY, GA - Dunwoody Art Festival 3:00 PM
MAY 14 - DECATUR, GA - Concert on the Square 12:00 PM (NOON)
MAY 16 - ATLANTA, GA - Umbrella Art Show 7:00 PM
Thank you for keeping up with me. I appreciate the support!
See you soon!
-Kurt
