Thank you, Bethan! I missed seeing this before! Guess what, this Sunday we are playing at a small Christian music festival! (Yes, really small - probably 50 or so people by the time we come on!) We'll have the help of a real backup band - Electric bass, Drums, second guitar,mandolin and vocal. It'll be our first time doing this! Yikes!
Finally got Amy to record this one!
So many questions
What can we offer?
What can we give?
How shall we answer?
How can we praise Him?
How shall we live?
No, no worldly treasure
No, no earthly measure
What does the Lord
want you to do?
What…
Mahalo to our wonderful friend who sent us a message. I'm so glad to hear from you and was hoping so much that you'd like this new version with Amy's voice, as I heard it in my head. We have another one I'll post in a minute that's a retro soul type song. Aloha from Keith and Amy
"The Word is near you, on your lips and in your heart" Romans 10:8
The Word is near you
On your lips and in your heart
The Lord will hear you
He will meet you where you are
Wherever you are
Will you confess Him
Will you call upon His name
He…
A song I wrote after President Obama's first election. I was so proud and hopeful. Not only the 1st Black President, but also the first from Hawaii!! I was just as moved and proud this election, with the added bonus of this being the first…
Dancing in the rain alone
I strain to hear a healing song
With teardrops falling to my feet
I will listen for Love's heartbeat
I'll fly away on angel wings
When I hear the angels sing
Stranded on an island of fear
The ocean's rage is all you…
Let us silence the beat of the drums of war
and listen for the Messenger Wind
We will dance in the light of the newborn star
Let the Song of Redemption begin
"Peace on Earth!
Love is found!"
sing the angels all around
"Breath of Heaven,

I'm calling this my Halloween track, but really it's just one of my more noisy experiments that I never intended to release! I actually can't remember now how I got part of these sounds, but it's all the Taylor and a floor full of toys, and a…
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
More ambient experimentation with my fretless guitar and Roland GR20. This time I used some sounds from the magnetic pickups as well as the midi pickup. Kind of a cheesy synth patch I know, but it was working for me!
He loves you
No matter what you've been through
No matter where you go
He loves you so
He loves you
No matter what you may do
He'll never turn away
He loves you every day
Every day
If you think you may have gone too far
Nothing could be further from the truth
You can't outrun the light from the Morning Star
The light that crossed the universe for you
(CHORUS)
You will see a new reality
Once you stand before Him, face to face
There is no power or principality
that can separate you from His grace
(CHORUS)
Through His sacrifice, He bore your pain
You are forgiven, now can you forgive?
From His rising, will you rise again?
Through His living, can you learn to live?
(CHORUS)
Thank you - and thanks for being so kind about my voice! I almost got to sing it for her with our bluegrass band at an event, but our set was cut short and I kinda "chickened out" so we didn't do it. So I "simulated" it with a music track and took another stab at it (see above) Mahalo - Keith
During a practice on Wednesday, our church's Bluegrass Gospel band suggested I bring one of my original songs on Sunday morning and teach it to them for that day's worship service. So I decided to write a song based on this week's lectionary…
Oh, well Bethan, I can say that besides your great music, your presence on Alonetone has also been one of inspiration and encouragement to folks like us who have minimal skills but love to create and express. Your kind words and support help to keep us going. Your music is always fresh, inventive, and wonderful. I hope when the time is right we'll hear more from you. Aloha, and God Bless! Keith

Every 3 years, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) asks teens from across the country to meet up in a city to worship, fellowship, learn, and serve. This year, it was New Orleans. 33000 youth gathered together to demonstrate God…
This is from a church service a few weeks ago. Wanted to try something new with it, so got some guys together and asked for a "Cowboy Junkies" vibe. Although we thought we got it better in rehearsal (is that often the case?), this at least captures…

Mahalo, Tess!
Thanks, Andrew! Really appreciate it! Aloha ~ Keith
Mahalo! We had fun trying out a new arrangement. This was one of a string of songs where I tried to think of her voice when writing. ~ Keith
