4 March 2008:
Partnership with Living Water.
By the time you finish reading this, another child will have
died from a PREVENTABLE water-related illness. One every 15 seconds.
14,000 people every day. Maybe you, like us, think that’s INSANE.
We are partnering with Living Water International (www.water.cc)
to raise awareness of the issue of clean water and to encourage
audiences to join in being part of the solution. We have had the
privilege of working with them on well-drilling trips over the last
few years, and have seen first-hand both the need and how we can all
make a real difference.
If you are interested in hosting a concert to promote interest in
Living Water, or need special music for a Living Water event you are
planning, we would love to partner with you. Please call us at
337.322.2129 or email us at
info@kevinsmithmusic.com.

24 August 2007:
iTunes.
For your digital convenience Lighter is now available on
iTunes. Due to the overwhelming popularity of this cool name o’
mine, there are a few other artists calling themselves “Kevin
Smith”. Please be sure you pick the right one. And after that, go
ahead and buy my cd, too.
Keep in mind that buying the physical cd is usually the preferable
option for several reasons: 1) higher fidelity music reproduction,
2) you get really cool artwork & liner notes to customize with your
very own fingerprint smudges, and 3) we make more money that way.
Just fyi.

16 August 2007:
Online Availability.
We’re selling the new cd here, in case you missed the
ubiquitous ‘Buy Now’ buttons around the site. Lighter is also now
available on
www.IndependentBands.com. So if you have some other music
shopping to do, theirs is a great place to do it and save
(relatively speaking) on your shipping costs. And, if you already
have the record (and like it…that’s key) and would like to review it
publicly in order to convince mass numbers of people to buy it for
themselves, we highly encourage you to follow this link:
http://www.independentbands.com/cd/kevinsmith/lighter.html
and type away. We’re looking for mass numbers of people here, folks,
so make it count.
For the digital purists out there, or the papyrophobic, the cd is
currently in the process of being delivered to iTunes. This can
sometimes take a while, so we’ll let you know when it’s available.
To that end, please sign up for the email list while you’re here, or
add us as a Myspace friend (myspace.com/kevinsmithmusic),
or both. Thanks for being here!

26 July 2007:
Lighter.
It’s been a long time coming, but finally the cd is out. I
think we all feel a little like Navin R. Johnson must have felt
(“The new phone books are here! The new phone books are
here!”)...only this time, hopefully, no one’s about to start
shooting. Mostly, I’m just relieved that phase is finished and we
can get on with whatever is next. And speaking of that: we are
having a Lafayette CD Release Concert on
Aug 4 at Trinity Bible Church. What’s going to be fun about this
show is that the band are all guys who played a lot on the record.
So ideally they will remember what they did.
The cd is available through this site for now, but will be offered
at independentbands.com and iTunes in the next few weeks. We would
love to see you at the concert, too, so please...ya know, come.

Saddleback.
Hey everyone. We’re playing on a daystage at Saddleback’s
Worship Conference. If you happen to be there, check it out…it’s on
the stage near the Children’s building, 3pm Wednesday June 27. If
you are not there, please be in prayer that the cds and band show
up!

15 May 2007:
SongSeeker.
We are excited to tell you that one of the songs on the record
has been selected by Saddleback Church (Rick Warren, PurposeDriven)
to be recorded on their SongSeeker compilation cd. This is a cd of
new worship songs submitted by songwriters attending the
PurposeDriven Worship Conference & Festival each year. The tune is
called We Love Our Lord, and you can hear it on the myspace page (myspace.com/kevinsmithmusic).
The conference is huge fun if you’ve never been. Let me know if
you’re planning on going.
