Several friends of mine are jamming this week in Denver for a little project I've been working on for a couple years called The Relief Project, where artists unite to use music as a tool to rebuild lives. The first album was released to great acclaim in 2005, raising funds for people around the world affected by tsunamis and hurricanes. And a little closer to home, this new release, Volume 2, promises to be just as big. Proceeds from the concert and album will help lift up kids in Colorado with rough family and emotional issues. With 35 musicians lending their talent across two CDs, it's an awesome reminder of how we can care for humanity in big and creative ways.

I'm so thankful to work alongside Brad and Jon-Erik in this effort! If you're in the Denver area, definitely plan on coming to the show. As for everyone else, be sure to check out the album. Just in time for the holidays!
