A note from John Mark: At the end of the day, I’m a songwriter who dabbles in theology. I don’t sing about Jesus because I want to spread a message. I don’t sing about Jesus becau...
With Easter almost upon us, I’ve decided to re-post this line by line commentary on Death In His Grave that I wrote about about a year ago. I hope you all enjoy it / re-enjoy it. ...
You would think filming a song in NYC would be easy as falling off a log but it was actually one of the more challenging shoots. First of all, New York is busy, loud, and there are people everywhere....
The new album comes out on Tuesday, Nov 1! I’m obviously stoked all the way around but I’m also excited to share the iTunes LP with you guys. This will be a somewhat deluxe version of t...

Originally Stephen (my brother-in-law) had this great idea to find an old suitcase and beat on it with a mallet like a kick drum. We tried this in a parking garage downtown, which sounded phenomenal...
We drove down form Seattle the night before and I think we checked into the hotel at about 4 AM. We had to check out around noon and the rest of the crew went to tour the NIke facilities, so ...

My buddy Jason Windsor just tweeted this and I loved it so much I decided to make it a blog: “You’re addicted to inspiration. You consume it but do nothing. You’ve been inspired eno...
As you’ve noticed, I haven’t spent a lot of time here at the Promenade blog. This is for several reasons. 1. Twitter: Too often I realize that out of 100 words there may be only one good sentence. So...
One of these will be a tour print we’ll be selling on the road for the next couple of weeks out west. Which one should it be? The Organ or the Trees?
