Rock Hop & Roll Recap
Greetings Attaboy fans and friends,
This has been a spectacular 6 weeks. Thanks to all who came out and rocked with us across any of the following states we toured through: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, and Ohio!
It's hard to recap such an awesome tour, where we met many new friends and had tons of unforgettable experiences. We're looking forward to hitting up each of these towns again at some point in the future, so stay tuned. Until then, we'll be finishing up the final week of the tour and writing some new music very soon!
Yours truly,
Amos
Merry Christmas Eve!
What a year 2007 has been. As a band, we've grown in so many ways, and it's exciting to think this is just the beginning. We're spending some time at home with family for a few days, then we hit the road again. We hope to rock with you all again in 2008... Blessings!
Amos
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sorry it's been so long!
Well, in honor of Thanksgiving rolling around, I thought I'd post about three reasons I'm thankful.
3. I'm thankful to God for His continued guidance and provision as we've been trying to sort out what to do next as a band. Sometimes as a full-time band, there are multiple options regarding future choices, and often times we (the four of us) are the only ones making those choices. So I'm glad God has been in the driver's seat and bringing us constantly to new heights and depths.
2. I'm thankful for the other 3 guys in the band (and their spouses). A lot of sacrifices have been made and will need to be made in this journey, and I'm glad I'm in it with these guys.
1. Lastly, I'm really, really grateful for our awesome fans. Everytime we get a chance to play a show, I'm reminded why I'm in this ministry. You guys are awesome, and hopefully I get a chance to say that to each of you when you see us next!
Happy Thanksgiving, peeps!
Amos
First Blog for Attaboy!
Hey!
What a great idea to start blogging... I actually wanted to submit a blog a few weeks ago, but I've been in Spain with my wife for a couple weeks.
I'm really excited about the direction this band is going. We've had a chance to play some sweet shows for cool people recently. Spring Hill was amazing (big shout out to the peeps we met there), and more recently we rocked out near Mansfield, Ohio with some awesome students from a couple churches in that area. You guys make the hard work of being in a band TOTALLY worth it!
We've been really busy because we're frantically finishing an album for the summer, as well as lining up shows for the summer and fall.
I'm pumped about the album, and I've been putting a lot of time with the band into writing music and lyrics. I think and hope you all will be pleased with the outcome!
Well, I'll be in touch, and again, thanks for all the support!
In the Risen Lord,
Amos Caley
