I would love to see you at this event, but first, we’ve got to get there! You can use the link above to help get me there (put my name in the top ‘Local Band’ spot), and use the link on their homepage to enter for free tickets for you.
Here’s a little more info about the event:
Heaven Fest is a Christian Music Festival happening in Denver, Colorado on Saturday, July 31st, 2010 with 70+ Artists, 7 Stages and 7 Interactive areas. Tens of thousands of people from all over Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Utah and Kansas will be coming to Denver to see over 80 bands and artists perform on 8 stages with 8 interactive areas!
In 2008 Heaven Fest became the largest Christian music festival ever to happen in Colorado. In 2009 Heaven Fest nearly doubled in size to over 23,000 people.
Heaven Fest features an array of different musical genres from Rock, Hip-Hop, Hardcore, Gospel, Worship, Acoustic, Folk, Metal, Rap, Electronica, and Experimental. Over 70 artists will play on 7 stages all throughout the day so there will always e something to do!
At the end of the night, Heaven Fest will make Jesus Christ the headliner of the festival by having a nameless, faceless worship band with tons of pastors, prayer-ers, intercessors and worshippers. For the rest of the night, we will worship Jesus Christ and make him the headliner of Heaven Fest and the only name worth mentioning.
Heaven Fest also features a massive 111 Piece art gallery, a 100ft. long interactive art wall and several professional artists to display live their artistic skills through different mediums.
Heaven Fest also features professional skateboarders and will have a full Skate Park for attendees to come and display their skills during the day.
Maisey and I just had our first daughter! Right now, she is at the hospital with the baby, and I have come home to tend to my handsome boys. I’m excited to bring her home!
Here’s a new discovery. You can DJ your favorite songs and do a short post like a tweet about them, and find other “DJ’s” with similar taste. To play ‘The Cost’, sign up, then simply copy this link and place it into your music search bar:
UPDATE Aug. 20th, 2010 : I still have not received the CD’s Quickstar Productions agreed to send me within 3 to 5 months. If you are considering working with Quickstar or Distrophonix, please read this more recent blog first http://www.havenyates.com/blog/?p=166
I have just sent out my song ‘The Cost’ to be included in a Compilation Project called ‘A Call for Healing,’ which will benefit the fight against malaria in Uganda, Africa. The digital download will be distributed by Quickstar Productions. Here’s what they have to say about it.
“A Call for Healing” is a compilation CD and marketing project brought to you by Quickstar Productions. It is designed to bring together some of America’s best Christian musicians for a common cause, fighting malaria in Uganda, Africa and most importantly spreading the message of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. To learn about the work being done in Uganda please check out www.sttimscatonsville.org We hope you enjoy this project as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you. “I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O holy one of Israel.” Psalm 71:22 (BBE)
Every band on the project will be selling a limited number of physical CD’s, so keep an eye out for those. I’ll be sure to schedule a short local tour as soon as I have a batch.
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
1Jo 1:5This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
I would like to encourage you in the fact that God not only has, but IS all that you need. Jesus doesn’t simple know the way, tell the truth, and show you how to live; He IS the way, He is the Truth, and He is the Life. And God doesn’t just give us light, He IS the light.
Phl 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.
If you want to know these things: honesty, justice, purity, loveliness, the admirable, virtue, the praiseworthy – get to know Jesus. Jesus not only does, but IS all these things – He is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
