Hey all-
Guess what? Last week I was in the studio demoing some new songs and I want to share one with you! I get so excited after recording new stuff, so I wanted to share a little of what we worked on last week. The amazingly talented, Dan Hannon and Brad Fisher, produced and engineered the sessions. It was a fun hang and nice for me to get back in the studio.
Some have been asking about the next record….well….we are considering these demo sessions as pre-production in preparation for the next record. :) I’ve got so many songs I’m excited about, and I’m honestly not sure which ones will make the cut. Being able to hear the songs with production helps me figure out what might work on the next album. In the meantime, it’s nice to have good demos of songs I’ve written to share. :-)
Thank you, Dan Hannon and Brad Fisher at Eldest Only Productions. Love you guys.
This song I wrote with Rob Crosby and Jake Eldridge. It’s called ‘Let You Go Like That’. Let me know what you think!

Hey friends. I wanted to show a little love today since it is the official holiday of L-O-V-E….Valentine’s Day! <3
I hope you are all well and feeling the love today. Hug somebody, call somebody, love on somebody….even if it’s your dog! It feels good to love. And be loved.
Holidays are my favorite. The colors, the smells, the smiles, the recipes, the giveaways. It’s been fun seeing all the music and videos that have been released today in honor of the ever-so-anticipated 14th of February.
With that said, I am feeling brave and want to put out a song that I JUST WROTE….1.5 days ago. That means it might be really bad and I haven’t realized it yet. ;) But, I’ll let you in to my little garageband recording world and show you what I’ve been writing lately. This is a sweet little song called ‘Win My Heart’ (I thought it was appropriate enough for today). I have been listening to a lot of old country….Hank Williams and Hank Jr., Dolly, Emmy, etc….and so songs like this are being inspired and born.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Love you all so much and I’m thankful for your support. Lots of new songs ready to be recorded….hang tight and keep checking updated tour dates at facebook.com/emilylynchmusic»>BANDPAGE!

Please continue to support each of the charities that have been mentioned, and support the artists. We appreciate your love and encouragement more than you know…especially when the road feels long.

Watch this to the end. HOW THE OTHER HALF GIVES tour video 3.
Today was probably my favorite day of the tour so far. It’s highlighted at the very end of the video blog, so you’ll see what I’m talking about.
While all of the charities have been a pleasure to work with, and incredibly rewarding to be a part of, Bright Life Farms stole my heart today. It’s a community that houses mentally-challenged adults….but it’s not just another charity house….they are LOVING these people. I’m talking Jesus Love. The residents are amazing, the staff is amazing…they make you smile. I bawled my eyes out watching them sing ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘This Little Light of Mine’ to us. It was special.
The volunteers and staff at Bright Life are special individuals—some might even say they’re angels. They are everything to their residents: caregivers, friends, mothers and fathers, teachers, nurses, coaches, pastors, role-models. Pray for them. Send them financial support so they can continue to provide the best care and environment for the residents. They go through 17 gallons of milk a week. And detergent is another big expense. Or take a trip out to Princeton, KT and visit them. You’ll be glad you did.
The residents will amaze you not only with the joy they wear on their sleeves, but with their lifestyles. They are disciplined and responsible. Their rooms are spotless, they are polite and so pleasant to be around. They will sing you beautiful songs, and bring happy tears to your eyes. They will make you forget about your worries and the craziness that life brings, and help you see the beauty in the small things. They clean, work out, have choir practice, study scripture….they even have Bible verses memorized. One man recited the entire 23rd Psalm for us. Wow. I sure can’t do that.
Jesus is alive and present at Bright Life Farm. Watch and see a TINY glimpse of what I’m talking about. So grateful for Roberta and the folks that have kept the organization alive. Remember, it’s only funded and supported by the community. Glad we could be a part of it today and hopefully share a small part in everything God is doing there.
