Last night I had quite an exciting little tea! I met up with my "manager", or as I like to call him, "partner in crime" and we discussed plans for Ashe Powell Music in 2013! We had a lovely dinner and we were up till quite late in the night discussing ideas, but as all true muso's, by about 11 we were both tired and had no more head space so we got out the guitar and just sang any random song that came to our head, from Missy Higgins all the way to Ke$ha! Was an interesting night on all levels!
Well what I can say is that there are two shows planned for early next year, soooooooo excited! Dates and details will be released after Christmas, so stay tuned! (I have secretly always wanted to say that!) We discussed quite a range of things, one thing he did ask me, (this is someone who knows me very well) he asked me whether my passion laid with recording or performing. I had to think for a minute but it was clear I preferred performing. I have been performing my whole life, I was fortunate enough to grow up with opportunities to perform all around me, from a child I grew my performance skills. But as we discussed it, it became clear to me why I loved performing. I love it because I get to show people God. To me, God is a lot of things, he is my rock, my guiding light, and the amazing saviour that stands right beside me no matter what I have done because he has unending love and amazing grace. But he is also my music, yes its my name against the songs that I write, but its all God inspired, he has given me the words, he has given me the ability to write the melody, to play the guitar, to decipher the musical code. It is because of God I write, and I am truly in awe of that! So for me performing isn't just getting up there and showing them what I got, its getting up there and showing them what I am all about, and I can tell ya, me and my music is all about Gods unending love and amazing grace! This is not to say that I wont be releasing an E.P, because I will, because I also see the value in being able to access Gods message at anytime, I cant tell you the amount of times the right song just happens to be playing at exactly the right time for me to get the God message!
So to wrap things up, exciting things await! I will be making a Facebook page for Ashe Powell Music very soon so that any news can be feed straight into that as well as on my twitter. So for those who are interested, stay tuned for lots more exciting updates!!
Grace and Peace, everyone!
*staying tuned*
