Poison and Wine - The Civil Wars

Heard this song for the first time today thanks to my friend Trina Harmon on Facebook. POISON AND WINE is genius - lyrically, melodically and overall musically! This song will be on my playlist for a while!

HEADLINER

I was so excited the last few weeks in preparing for my first show as headliner. It was a great experience and I got some great feedback. I love to perform and had some great musicians with me. Thanks to all who showed up and supported me in this endeavor.

There will be MANY more shows and songs to come in the future.

Free Holiday Album

I love the Christmas season. I love the music and the lights and the Spirit surrounding this holiday, not to mention taking time for family and friends and service and sharing and giving. And speaking of giving...

this week i-tunes is giving away an ENTIRE Album of music, not just their regular free weekly single. They are calling it their holiday sampler and I just downloaded it. Get yours too. Click the image! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

My favorite Chrismas quote:

"He who gives of his money - gives MUCH.

He who gives of his time - gives MORE.

He who gives of himself gives ALL."

Inspirational music, singing and songwriting

The Annual Jenny Phillips LDS Music Industry Workshop took place on Saturday, August 8,2009 at Thanksgiving Point

in Utah. People came from all across the United States to attend, with the furthest attendee from Quatar (or South Africa if you count me but I am living in Utah at present, so did not include myself ).

This covered many areas of the music industry from creating and submitting demos, to songswriting and singing techniques,

to singing learning from top LDS musician themselves. Performances and interaction occured with artists such as Alex Boye, Hilary Weeks, Mindy Gledhill, Jenny Phillips and Tyler Castelton.

Attendees were able to have many Q & A sessions, receive song critiques and hear from these experinced professional

musicians. The cost was $99 and there was also an oppertunity to enter a singing compatition to record on the next

Jenny Phillips project. More information can be found on www.jennyphillips.com

O Spirit, All Embracing

I went to BYU University Chorale Spring recital on June 13th at the Provo Tabernacle. The last song was "O Spirit, All Embracing" by Gustav Holst. The audiance was invited to sing the third verse. It was amazing and I wanted to share the words, music here and a video from YouTube.

3. "Come, passion's power holy, thy insight here impart, and give they servants lowly and understanding heart to know thy care more clearly when faith and love are tried, to seek thee more sincerely when false ideals have died: for visions we implore thee, for wisdoms pure delight: in prayer we come before thee to wati upon thy light."
