KCC - Vertical Current's Bright Side of Midnight



*I am super late with this post but. . . better late than never ;-)*

I really love good food and good music! So I love being able to combine the two- especially if I also have great company!

Saturday- August 2nd was no exception!  With the release of their first full-length album, Vertical Current took to the Warmdaddy's stage to celebrate! I was happy to have my girl friend/lil sis there with me!

While the members of this exciting band are able to complement one another's strengths, they also bring on guests that seem to add an extra oomph to their shows! To start the night off, the audience was introduced to the group- Ode to OmniIt was the first time that my friend and I had heard them and we were definitely impressed! Other special guests (who also appear on the album) were Chartel Findlater, Shelia Moser (aka Lee Mo), Rick Tate Jr. and El' Ahmad Barak!

Bright Side of Midnight was released on July 29th and it offers 11 tracks of amazing music! Whether it's taking on classics like Summer Time (feat. Lee Mo) and What the World Needs Now (feat. Chartel) or original pieces like Voice on the Water and Bright Side of Midnight, Vertical Current is sure to keep listeners intrigued!

As usual, I was blown away by VC's performance! At the beginning of their set, I thought they were playing Over the Top [one of my favorite tracks from their 2011 EP entitled, "aRe"] but it turned out to be a medley of several tracks from the project! The way that VC blended their songs together was creative and seamless.

Something that I really enjoy about this group of musicians is the fact that you can feel the passion in their music- whether or not the song they're performing has lyrics!  I definitely believe that music can spark an emotion within you. And VC is successful in conveying a message/feeling of hope and love to (and within) their listeners! Just listen to Get Up! Oh my goodness!

If you don't know of them, you need to!  Click the links below and check out some clips from the album release celebration!

Bright Side of Midnight is available on sites like Google Play, iTunes, CDBaby and Amazon!

Check out VC's website to see when they'll be in a city near you! You won't be disappointed!




**And as far as food, I had the cheese steak rolls with secret sauce! I don't know what that sauce is made out of but I definitely took a container of it back home! Delicious!**

7 Revelations for 37

I really was trying to get through this birthday- well- get away with not writing anything specific, but all of a sudden, ideas started flowing. So. . . Here are 7 Revelations that I am trying to be mindful of as I go through Year 37. 1. Proverbs 4:23 is a command (not a suggestion). It reads, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life (AMP)." Other translations say to keep or guard  your heart. . . In other words, be selective and protect it. Watch what you allow to enter your heart. Seeds may be planted by various circumstances, people with whom you interact, etc. but you do not need to allow everything to take root. Things like bitterness, frustration, and envy will try to find a home within you.  Beware: Whatever you allow to take root in your heart will be reflected through your actions! 2. This goes right with Point #1. Be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. Clearing the air can also help to keep your heart [and spirit] c...

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)  **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very  different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with  Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face...

I Almost. . . But I Didn't!- October 11, 2011

I almost forgot what I was worth. . . almost forgot that He loved me first but He reminded me. Things almost got out of hand. I almost walked out of His Will. . . His plan for me! Yet, He loved me! So much so, that He sent messages to me. Whether it was through a still, soft voice Or a gentle nudge to make the right choice. I heard it.  I felt it. I heard Him say. . . Don't listen to the world’s sweet nothings. Everything's not gold- just because it glistens. I've created you for myself . I want to be your love, your joy. . . your help. When will you realize how much I  love you? What more do I have to do?! I've given you strength, health and life. I can take what’s wrong and make it right. Don't sell yourself short! How I feel for you is in my Word. You’re wonderful beautiful fearfully made The love I have for you will never fade. Don’t let the world distract you. Simply set your affections on the things that are true Lovel...
