We did our first wedding gig‼️‼️Yesterday the band provided the music for the wedding of Kenji @afreshmind and Bri @brilambrecht #weddingmusicband .
.
It was a beautiful day in every way. We loved how inclusive the liturgy was and how thoughtfully the whole day was put together. And so happy for these two and that we got to sing with them through this experience. (And btw the last photo in this bunch is a rehearsal/sound check moment before the wedding began. We dressed up a little more than this for the actual event in case you were worried...😀.)
.
Also...along with “All Belong Here,” “Only Grace” and “Room For Us All” - BIG NEWS- @hannahrandband sang a new song she wrote with @lenorarand for the occasion. Can’t wait to share that one with folks!! A song about marriage that’s gorgeous and inclusive and comes from a theology of marriage we can get behind. . . .
Congratulations Bri and Kenji and thank you for inviting us to be there with you in this day. .#weddingmusic

Guess what people? The new album comes out mid November and we have artwork for our album cover. Yaaaassss! .

We knew we wanted an original piece of art for this CD cover, a.)because we knew it would be beautiful and we know how art opens our eyes and hearts in so many ways… And b.) because we wanted to support the work of a visual artist who is doing important things in the world, working for equity and inclusion and justice, and whose art we thought should be shared more widely. .

And so we were incredibly happy that we were able to commission an original piece of art from AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez, an amazing artist, writer and educator. .
.

The band spent some time with her in June at @SoJo Summit and you may know her as the founder of En Conjunto—a collective providing support, community, resources, and collaborative opportunities to people of color working independently at the intersection of justice and spirituality. She’s also the co-host for the Mystic Soul podcast with @teresamateuschi and a co-coordinator with Liberation School South, plus her column, Brown Eyed Amazon, can be found at Patheos’ Progressive Christian channel.

When we connected with her about this opportunity for the album, she plunged right in and created this 20x20 painting that we’re so excited about sharing on the CD cover. And she did all this in the midst of a really busy schedule speaking at conferences and doing workshops…oh and also…getting married‼️ .

So thank you @brwneyedamzn ❤️💙💗💚 .

Today, on the anniversary of 9/11, we are thinking once again of this powerful poem by the incredible poet Brian Doyle, which he wrote soon after the events that happened 18 years ago on this day. We hope you’ll read the while thing - including a link below in which you can hear Brian reading it. .
In it he talks about two people who were seen leaping from the World Trade Center, holding hands.
And he writes: “Their hands reaching and joining are the most powerful prayer I can imagine, the most eloquent, the most graceful. It is everything that we are capable of against horror and loss and death. It is what makes me believe that we are not craven fools and charlatans to believe in God, to believe that human beings have greatness and holiness within them like seeds that open only under great fires, to believe that some unimaginable essence of who we are persists past the dissolution of what we were, to believe against such evil hourly evidence that love is why we are here.” .
.
Love is why we are here. Or as we sing in The Many: We are on this earth to love. That is what we keep reminding ourselves of today. Love is why we are here. Take someone’s hand today and let that be a prayer.
.
.
Here is that link to the full poem: https://youtu.be/2mJ_jkkVRQo
