We are working on updating the news articles that are a bit out of date, so please bear with us until we get caught up!

Just spent all day today in the studio with Nick Garrett-Powell working on the next single, "Jehova Jira". Look for a preview here soon!

Here is another "revived" hymn for my hymns project "Hymnody" that we are hoping to get completed later in 2012. This song will be joined by my versions of "Turn Your Eyes", "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross", "Where Shall My Wondering Soul Begin" and others. This is another one of Charles Wesley's from 1739, "And Can It Be That I Should Gain".

For those who might not have a copy of my Christmas CD, Born Is The King, you can get a free download of my song, "Good King Wenceslas", just for Christmas! I hope you have a wonderful time with friends and family celebrating our Savior's birth!

We finally finished the new single from the upcoming CD, "The White Album"! It is now live on iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby and should be available through other online retailers soon. Please take a listen and leave a comment if you like the song!

Got down to Grants Pass late last night and then spent 6 hours in the studio today with Nick working on cleaning up the final mix for the new single, "Stop The Sun"!

"I've recently had the privilege to listen to his new single "Before You Sleep" from his upcoming release "The White Album." It has a great lullaby feel to the song. As a Christian father of three young daughters I love the inclusion of Scripture in the lyrics. Dawson's folk musical style is great for fans of Bebo Norman and Jason Gray..."

"Musically, Cowals sounds a little like a male Tracy Chapman. In fact, the track's simple, acoustic guitar-based arrangement sounds a little like Chapman's music back when "Fast Car" was a big pop hit. Cowals sings this song with an earnest, slightly pleading vocal style. Cowals has created a delightful song. It's one that is particularly aimed at insomniacs. If those that have trouble sleeping only knew how much God cares for them, watches over them and prepares new days for them, they might just rest a little easier..."

"Turn Your Eyes" is possessed of a simple sound; brushed drums, subtle bass, and finger-picked guitar. Cowals' skills are solid and the arrangement is refreshing and inviting, offering a new look at an old classic... like [Chris] Tomlin's "Amazing Grace" reinvention, Cowals' lyrical additions are light but powerful..."

Here is one of my original Christmas carols that I shared at Athey Creek Christian Fellowship for Saturday and Sunday services.

This is a new song that I just wrote last week that uses the analogy of superheroes and their powers to demonstrate how not even they can stand up against, or separate us from the amazing power of God's love!

We finally finished the first new single from the upcoming CD, "The White Album"! It is now live on iTunes and CD Baby and should be available through other online retailers soon. Please take a listen and leave a comment if you like the song!

Just finished laying down the vocal track for "White" which is the title track for the new CD. That is my last part for the album, so now it is just all up to Nick to finish the remaining tracking and mixing.

Day 3 in the studio this week and I'm playing the role of recording engineer while Nick is laying down some sweet mandolin parts. Can't wait for you all to hear it!

Nick and I have been sequestered in the studio the last few days making good progress on finishing songs for the new CD, "The White Album". As a humorous aside, the studio space has now moved to a location off Sleepy Hollow Road which is definitely odd timing considering it's Halloween in a few days.

"Turn Your Eyes" is a remake of "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus," with its own little flare. This song will be featured on two of his upcoming albums, Hymnody and The White Album... this song I have actually grown to really like. He sounds like a newer version of Steven Curtis Chapman...

This is a new communion song that I just wrote last week that comes mostly straight from 1 Corinthians 11:23-34. It reminds us of why we take communion together as the body of Christ, to remember his sacrifice for us, the breaking of his body and shedding of his blood. Let us do this often in remembrance of him!

This is a new lullaby that I wrote recently that will be featured on the upcoming CD we are finishing in the studio. We will also be releasing this song as a single within the next few weeks so stay tuned for news!

Here is a new upbeat worship song I wrote this past month calling us to put the name of Jesus above all others. The woman's echo part in the chorus is sung by my wife, Jessica who was also running the video camera.

Nick and I spent a long full day sweltering in the 98 heat in the non-airconditioned studio today, but it was totally worth it!

Nick and I finally managed to sync up our schedules so we could spend some time in the studio today. We worked on two final new songs for "The White Album" and did some comping for one of the tunes.

Here's another new love song I just wrote for my wife recently to commemorate our first 1000 days of marriage together. We were laughing because I keep asking her about things we did together or places we had been that we haven't been to yet. It seems we have always been together and my memories seem to keep re-writing themselves and putting her in memories we haven't shared yet!

Here is the song that I shared at Athey Creek Christian Fellowship for the Wednesday night Bible study covering 2 Corinthians 4.

Happy Easter, everyone! Here is a song I started writing back in September of 2010 but just recently got around to finishing. So, here is my song about remembering Jesus is in control and if he can calm the wind and waves he can handle any difficulties we might be going through.

Here's a new song I wrote dealing with the passage in James 3 regarding the wickedness of the tongue and how we need the Lord's help to guard our speech.

For those who might not have a copy of my CD, Coffee Shop Songs, you can get a free download of my song, "In Their Place", just for Easter!

Here is a new song I wrote recently based on Psalm 121. I lift my eyes up to the hills where my help comes from. I find my help in the Lord, my comfort, my refuge and my hope. His eyes never close in sleep but he keeps constant watch over me!

Here is the song that I shared at Athey Creek Christian Fellowship for the Wednesday night Bible study covering 1 Corinthians 1.

This is the first song I wrote for the new year, 2011! It tells the story of the gospel through colors. Enjoy!

Here is the most recent song that I shared at Athey Creek Christian Fellowship this weekend at the Saturday night service and again at both services Sunday morning.

I decided to start a new video playlist filled with some of my original worship songs. This is one of the first I am posting. This is one of my newer original worship songs written based on parts of both Psalm 26 & 27. This song will be featured on the upcoming worship album "Adoration" along with several others.

So... this is perhaps a slightly off-kilter late night rambling about life, love, hope, faith and salvation. It may land a bit far of the bizarre line for some, but perhaps others will dig deeper and hear the truth and heart where it was coming from.

Today is our 2nd Anniversary and I have posted an acoustic mix of the song I wrote for my wife for all to enjoy. The new song is called "Wherever With You" and a full-band version will be featured on the new CD we are wrapping up currently in the studio The White Album.

Sorry things have been crazy with Christmas and New Years. Just a quick update to let you know that we recorded the last 2 songs for the newest CD project over Christmas, so hopefully we will be able to get it released soon. Nick is swamped working on several other projects at the same time and busy with trips to LA, but hopefully we can wrap up production soon. I'll let everyone know when we have a firmer idea of a release date. The good news is that we've ended up getting a few more tracks together for this CD so it's going to be a full-length release instead of the originaly planned EP!
