From the Inside Out

Tonight we trekked out to Dallas’ Deep Ellum to see one of the guys from our church perform at The Door. If you’ve never been there before, it’s a unique club that offers a clean, alcohol-free environment for Christian bands.  Back when I was growing up, there was a similar place we frequented called “Footloose”.

Kyle at The Door

The Door prides itself on finding up-and-coming talent. They feature both local and national original live bands. Their scheduling agents found Kyle through his MySpace page and booked him to play at the club.

We had a large group from our church show up to support him — providing a built-in cheering section. Kyle was the first musician to open tonight. He played a 30 minute acoustic set and did a great job.

Afterwards, we walked over to the Twisted Burger to grab a bite to eat and fellowship with friends.  It was a fun evening and a good way to start the holiday.  Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone!

On July 12th at 7:00 pm, three fabulous Christian artists will take the stage together at the Eisemann Center in Richardson.  For one evening only, Russ Taff will perform with special guests Mickey Mangun and Jonathan Moore.  It’ll be a night of gospel music that won’t disappoint. 

I’ve been a fan of Russ Taff’s music since I was a teenager.  Throughout the years, he has managed to stay relevant and touch people’s hearts with a message of truth.  He has won a total of five Grammy awards and nine Gospel Music Association Dove awards. He has been hailed by Billboard Magazine as “the single most electrifying voice in Christian music.”

Mickey Mangun may not be a household name, but her voice is amazing.  The woman sings with such passion that you cannot help but be drawn to her music — it’s soul stirring.  She’s one of the few people who can bring goose bumps to my arms when she sings (and I mean that in a good way). 

Tickets range from $10 - $25.  Get more info at www.alcplano.org and reserve tickets at www.eisemanncenter.com.

Hope to see you there!
