GRATEFUL
It's November, time to give thanks where thanks is due; it's time to write and thank all of YOU! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We consider it an honor and privilege to sing along with you wherever you may be when you put in our CD. Whether you're driving somewhere and need a song of hope, laying in bed and need a song of comfort, or you're havin' a crumby day and you just need to sing a song at the top of your lungs, we can't think of a more awesome place to be than with you when you're at your "realest." Keep on keepin' on and singin' on! Thanks for letting us keep on and sing on with you!
GO TELL! - CHRISTMAS ALBUM
The last couple of months, we've been working on a Christmas album that we haven't named yet (if you know us, this comes as no surprise)! Jon Skaggs (Producer/Manager) called in August and asked if we were up for making a Christmas album, and after we exclaimed "I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!" and some other Elf quotes, he took it to mean, "yes."
We are beyond excited to share this homemade-as-apple-pie Christmas collection with you. There will be two originals on this record, along with six traditional favorites! Tyler Hilton of "One Tree Hill" and "Walk The Line" is the (amazing, gritty-voiced) featured vocalist you'll soon hear on our original duet, "First Christmas (Away From Home)". Our family is also featured in several tunes, creating a "home for Christmas" feel for you and yours all season long.
Pre-sales for our album start next week, so please share the news and check our facebook page regularly for special previews and details!
GRANDPA
You may not have met our Grandpa Ray, but if you had, he would have taken your hand in his and said, "I'm Ray, but you just call me Grandpa."
Grandpa lived a simple life, but he leaves with us memories of a larger-than-life man of faith. We owe him a debt of gratitude for inspiring so much of what we do as The Wicks. He exemplified in every way what it means to Light Up The Dark. Thank you, Grandpa. We love you, love you, love you, and we'll meet you at the river when we're home.
GOIN' THROUGH DOORS
Back in January, we made a simple decision to walk through the open doors. Some opportunities have taken us further along the journey than others; some seem to be more of a chance to smile and wave at the world on the other side.
Our Kickstarter campaign is just another one of those open doors. If you've felt lead to give and haven't gotten 'round to it, please do! There's still time!

...Stay Warm and Keep Those Lamps Burnin' Bright!
With Love, -The Wicks
