I hope you'll find a moment or two to visit the Sounds page and read up. http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/06/19/new-song-debriefings/ Just wanted to make everyone aware that recording of the new album has quietly and officially begun. With Ben Shive acting as maestro, I feel as though I'm in very good and capable hands. He's a funny guy and is very encouraging in his thoughts on the songs, so I'm ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/06/13/new-album-blog/ You guys are awfully quiet these days. No commentary must mean one thing: Eric, you are boring our socks off. Fair enough. So, to lighten the mood, here's a video that my wife made. It's not Spielbergian, or Coppolaic, but it's still sweet and makes me laugh -- ah, sweet ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/06/05/lars-and-the-real-girl-a-homemade-one/ Last week, I was part of the latest Weaklings meeting. The Weaklings, for those of you who are curious, was started by fellow Square Pegs Randall Goodgame and Andrew Peterson as a collective of writers seeking to challenge, inspire, encourage, cultivate and critique one another's craft. We have sporadically met ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/05/28/nashville-weaklings/ Bookmark, my 2004 acoustic album (produced by Andrew Osenga), is very nearly out-of-stock as of this writing. The good news - for those of you who don't have a copy and are still interested in obtaining it - is that I was lucky enough to score an extra spindle of ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/05/22/bookmark/ Many thanks to the fine folks at Trinity UMC in Murfreesboro, TN last night for hosting me a second time. This was originally scheduled to be a show this past December, but one I had to cancel due to a severe cold, possibly the flu, the first I've ever had ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/05/17/murfreesboro-awakenings/ As some of you know, I have been part of a congenial group of songwriters here in Nashville called the Square Peg Alliance for the past three years. We most recently asked our good friend, tasteful producer (I'm honored that he's producing my new album), pianist/keys player, musical castle of ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/05/08/ben-shives-new-record-the-ill-tempered-klavier/ This is an interview I did on 12/7/06 while on Andrew Peterson's "Behold the Lamb" tour. It took place in an upstairs loft at a wonderful youth facility at a church in Huntsville, AL. Here it is for your viewing pleasure/displeasure: So your album, Scarce, was just recently released on ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/05/01/huntsville-al-interview/ I am back at home after a long, exhausting, exhilarating and very worthwhile run of shows in Mississippi, Louisiana and Illinois. So far in the month of April I have slept in my own bed a total of 3 nights. I'm cautiously glad for a brief pause in the action ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/04/14/home-at-last-home-at-last/ Easter is breathing in the east. After downing victuals of mildly grease-soaked Mississippi country sausage bathed in Creole mustard aboard a two-week old onion roll, the remainder of a sweet tea from today’s lunch, and a pair of chocolate peanut butter eggs, I can feel my mind slowing to a stock ... http://www.ericpeters.net/2008/03/23/murmuring-gethsemane/
