News: Introducing... The Locket Photography

2009-11-02T18:43:00.017-06:00

INTRODUCING...
I wanted to take a moment and introduce you to the photography company that shot the CD Release Concert (click here for pics) & LETTING GO Cover Shoot.

Erin K. "Manson" Kirchhoff and Sarah Skow are, THE LOCKET. A Photography company located in a small Iowa town called North Liberty.

Visit their website at www.thelocketonline.com
and blog at www.thelocketphotography.blogspot.com

When I was searching for a company to work with I needed someone that was going to go above and beyond to capture the right look. As you can see, these two photographers did a fantastic job shooting for this project. They worked tirelessly until they captured the perfect cover and press pictures for the record.

The Locket specializes in weddings and fashion. However, they have experience in other areas as well (seniors, family pictures, artists, etc.). The first thing you'll notice with Manson & Sarah is that they're out of the box photographers, always wanting to push the limits for amazing pictures. They rule the market on creativity and approachability. In their logo it reads: LIVING. ART., and nothing could be more true. They are unbelievable at capturing LIFE, EMOTION, BEAUTY & PASSION. Their engagement, wedding and fashion pictures are breathless.

Although these girls have been in business over three years, their opportunities just keep growing. They've had shoots in Las Vegas, Colorado, Georgia, India, Italy, Chicago, and the Twin Cities and are looking forward to weddings they've booked in Hawaii and Rome this year. From stunning weddings, gourmet cuisine, kids w/ frogs, seniors, sunsets in Italy, and concert photography - The Locket is sure to impress!

I want to personally recommend their services. Erin K. Kirchhoff (most folks just call her "Manson") runs point and is GREAT! Call Manson today and go enjoy yourself as she works with you to create LIVING. ART.!

It was awesome!

A big thanks to Antioch Christian Church for hosting the concert! This was the end to their "friend weekend" which was a huge success.

Spotlight: Nashville Vocals Week

2008-09-06T22:22:00.005-05:00

I was in Nashville, TN recording the final vocals for my album July 25-30th. We put in 10 hour days to get-er-done! It was nuts, but fun. It wasn't easy though- I drank 7 1/2 gallons of water just to get through. I even took pics of my empty bottles cuz i knew some peeps wouldn't believe me- LOL! There were times we had to stop because both my producer and I were led to tears because of the message of the songs. The Lord was definitely present with us. I also wanted to say a big thank you for all your prayers during the week. They gave me strength everyday.

A tidbit of information- the drums & bass were recorded in TobyMac's studio (emack music studios) in Franklin, and the rest of the project was recorded in Kyle Lee's (producer) home in Spring Hill (where a lot of the 'Manifesto' project was recorded for Pocket Full Of Rocks).

You may have to go to the next page to view all the pics below- Enjoy!

Concert: Pella Open Bible Church 8-03-08

2008-09-06T15:03:00.005-05:00

This was my third time at Pella OB. What a great church- It was a wonderful concert. I also snapped some shots of downtown. Pella is home to a the largest working Dutch windmill in the US!

Vermeer Mill Facts:

Windmill is 100% wind powered
Total height to the tip of the most upright blade is 124', giving the Vermeer Mill the distinction of being the tallest working windmill in the United States
Built by Lucas Verbij from Hoogemade, Netherlands and assembled in Pella by two Dutch craftsmen
Authentic, working grain mill patterned after a similar 1850s grain mill in the province of Groningen, Netherlands
The Vermeer Mill reflects Pella's Dutch and agricultural history
Built taller than surrounding buildings and trees so the blades capture the wind

The Vermeer Mill grinds wheat into flour using only wind power and is the tallest working windmill in the United States.

Concert: First United Methodist Church - Marion, IA

2008-09-06T14:03:00.004-05:00

This proved to be another great morning concert with First United Methodist Church. They have warmly welcomed us now for 2years. Thank you FUMC- we love you!

Concert: Pittsfield AG Church, Pittsfield, IL

2008-07-19T20:49:00.004-05:00

Last week Kimberly and I were in Pittsfield, IL for a concert. I sang a few songs Sunday morning, taught a worship workshop in the afternoon, worked with their music team and incorporated them into a concert in the evening. It was great! In the middle of the concert I felt led to have people come forward for prayer to trust God more and lay their past hurts before the Lord. The front was packed with people crying out for healing and trust from their Lord. It was a very intense and powerful time. People's lives were changed. What a blessing! The pictures below are of the church, the pastor, and our sweet little hotel we stayed in. Enjoy!

Spotlight: STONEWATER TRAVEL

2008-07-08T20:34:00.006-05:00

Last month someone donated to my music ministry a full service online travel agency business. I know, I asked the same question- what in the world is that? I learned that it was a full service travel booking engine that allowed me to book my business and personal travel - along with an opportunity for my supporters to book their travel as well. By doing so, 60% of the travel commissions will be paid to STONEWATER TRAVEL (the name I chose for the company). It is the same price or cheaper than Expedia, Travelocity, etc. and offers flights/cars/hotels/cruises/resorts and much more.

Now, for those of you who couldn’t be a part of my sponsorship program for my new record, you can still support my ministry but in a different way. The next time you’re going on a vacation, cruise, family reunion, business trip, etc. - please get a quote from www.STONEWATERTRAVEL.com. If you see that it’s competitive, I would love your support.

Also, check out my new support page on the NEW website. www.bradstiles.org/support.html.

2008-07-05T21:53:00.016-05:00

Last Saturday my cousin got married in Springfield, MO. I sang a Michael Bluble at the grand piano- it was fun. On Sunday afternoon after church we had a big 60th anniversary party for my grandparents. It was a fantastic weekend with family, new friends and most importantly...lots of FOOD....LOL! Check out the pics below.

Spotlight: Producer Kyle Lee

2008-07-02T23:31:00.005-05:00

Hello Everyone! I've decided to highlight my producer, Kyle Lee, this month and let you in on who he is and some of his background. The record is coming along great and Kyle is doing an amazing job at keeping the entire record current and completely now...if that makes any sense. Kyle and I are very excited and want to get it into your hands just as soon as possible. Even though I can't give any dates on when it will be released yet, please be checking back on the blog for more exciting details. It has been a pleasure to work with such a talented producer and someone who knows the industry and can pull the very best out of me and every song that is on the record. I will tell you this.... you won't be disappointed!

I forgot my camera the last time I was in Nashville but promise to take one at the end of the month to capture my time....oops!! Here's a little about Kyle....enjoy!

Kyle Lee

Producer/Writer/Engineer

Bio

Kyle's career started with leading worship at his home church in Texarkana, TX. After playing on Wednesday night, he would travel to another church to hear one of his favorite local bands, Pocket Full of Rocks. There was an immediate connection between he and lead singer Michael Farren, and eventually Kyle was asked to join the band. After playing many years and recording their Live DVD in 2002, "Pocket" gained more exposure and eventually signed with Word/Myrrh Records in 2005. After touring the major release Song to the King in 2006, Kyle and his wife Shelly moved to Tennessee. It was during the planning stages of the band's second CD release that Kyle began to feel called to another long-time passion, producing. Through talks with the band, it was decided that Kyle would trade his spot as guitar player in the band for the role of producer for the upcoming release, Manifesto. After Manifesto's release in July 2007, Kyle has continued to pursue this passion as well as others including writing, mixing, and engineering. Already having worked with many of the industry's leading artists, Kyle looks forward to all that lies ahead.

The latest news... this last year "Pocket Full Of Rocks" was nominated as worship band of the year. Kyle has just begun work on producing their 2008 project. Be checking the national Christian bookstores for Pocket's new record sometime soon. As always, Kyle will bring an amazing record to the Christian community.

News: The Flood of 2008

2008-06-20T10:54:00.008-05:00

As many of you already know Iowa has gone through some major flooding in the last two weeks. Thousands of families have lost their homes and are in need of our prayers and support during this time. Me/my immediate family are some of the lucky ones, however, I have several friends that lost everything.

I've attached a link to a photo album that shows the devastation in my hometown, Cedar Rapids. As you look through these pictures, please say a prayer that God would bring provision, comfort and understanding to those so deeply hurt right now. I know my personal friends would appreciate it very much.

The Flood of 2008 - www.andrealynnphoto.com/CRflood2008

There is a HUGE clean up effort for one of my friends tomorrow from 10am-8pm. If you're in the Cedar Rapids area and would like to help, please shoot me an email today at bradstiles@gmail.com.

Here's the home being cleaned tomorrow.

Thanks for your prayers.

God Bless You!

Devotion: Making Music Together

2008-06-18T14:57:00.002-05:00

I received an article by author, Steve McVey, in the mail the other day and loved it - I thought I'd pass it along.

--------------------------------
Have you ever felt that you've made a wrong decision and gone through the wrong door in life? You can rest assured of this - God's loving faithfulness is bigger than your foul-ups. His grace will ensure that His will is accomplished in your life. There's no need to worry that we have missed God's will and must now settle for His second best. God has no second best. He does all things well (see Mark 7:37) and would never allow our mistakes or missteps to hinder His ultimate purposes.

Someone emailed a story to me that illustrates this point well. It shows shows how we can't mess up God's plan. He's far too ingenious and powerful to allow that. (I apologize for not being able to cite the source of the story since I don't know where it originally was printed.)

A mother once took her son to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother was temporarily distracted by talking to a friend. Taking advantage of the chance to explore, the little boy walked away. He went through a door marked, "No Admittance."

When the house lights dimmed the mother turned to see that her son was missing. About that time, the curtains parted and the spotlight focused on the grand piano on stage. Seated at the piano was the little boy, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."

At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quite. Keep playing." Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato.

Together, the old master and the young novice transformed what had appeared to be a terrible blunder into a creative masterpiece. The audience was overwhelmed by the beauty of that moment. The moment had been redeemed.

Whatever your situation in life may be, you don't have to worry. Your Father's eternal arm's are around you, working to accomplish His purpose for you. He will create a masterpiece of your life.. You don't have to worry that your performance isn't as good as it should be. Trust Him and He will work with you where you are. In union with Him, the two of you will make beautiful music together.
--------------------------------

God Bless!

Tidbits: St. Louis Arch

2008-06-13T22:33:00.003-05:00

Recently I had some mtgs in St. Louis, MO with my pastor Bill Nissen (you'll crack up at how short I am next to Bill). Before heading back we decided to visit the St. Louis Arch. I thought I'd share some of the pictures taken that day along with some facts about the Arch.

ARCH FACTS:
The Arch is the tallest national monument in the United States at 630 feet; it is the city's best known landmark and a popular tourist attraction.
Construction began February 12, 1963 and the last section of the Arch was put into place on October 28, 1965.
The Arch is a structure known as a catenary curve, the shape a free-hanging chain takes when held at both ends, and considered the most structurally-sound arch shape. The span of the Arch legs at ground level is 630 feet, the same as its height.
Each year, approximately a million visitors ride the trams to the top of the Arch. The trams have been in operation for over 30 years, traveling a total of 250,000 miles and carrying over 25 million passengers.
The Arch weighs 17,246 tons. Nine hundred tons of stainless steel was used to build the Arch, more than any other project in history.
The Arch was built at a cost of $13 million. The transportation system was built at a cost of $3,500,000.
In order to ensure that the constructed legs would meet, the margin of error for failure was 1/64th of an inch. All survey work was done at night to eliminate distortion caused by the sun's rays. Since the Arch was constructed before the advent of computer technology, relatively crude instruments were used for these measurements.
The Arch sways a maximum of 18" (9" each way) in a 150 mph wind. The usual sway is 1/2".

Tidbits: Kurt Warner

2008-05-26T12:44:00.005-05:00

What a fantastic night at the "Evening With Champions" event. John Campbell from KCRG TV-9 was the Emcee. The show started with Kurt Warner speaking for 45 mins about being a champion. It was one of the most encouraging and inspiring talks I've heard in a long time. Next up was a sit down interview with Zach Johnson and Kurt led by John Campbell. It was so hilarious and convicting at the same time. These guys are unashamed of their relationship w/ Jesus Christ and told how it is the only factor that has led them to ultimate success. They testified to great trials and wonderful achievements, but nothing was more precious to them than their faith in God. Everyone was challenged.

Please check out Kurt Warner's foundation at www.kurtwarner.org. They're doing some wonderful things.

I'm sorry to report that even though I was with Kurt's immediate family most of the night he was so busy with corporate sponsors and others he didn't have a chance to come out and meet with us. So, no picture of Kurt and I to post...HOWEVER, I believe I have something better to share with you. Our group went to Perkins afterwards. During our meal a big storm came through and the restaurant made us seek shelter in the back of the kitchen. Since it was a crowded mess of hot stoves and dirty floors, I went to the staff and said, hey, how about some muffins for everybody. Two minutes later Perkins gave me a huge plate full of muffins that I walked back to the kitchen and gave to all the guests. Two minutes after that a plate full of cookies and 5 mins after that three full appetizer plates. WHOO HOO!

Here is a shot of me and the guests in the kitchen at Perkins.....what a trip!!!

Nashville: Progress Update

2008-05-10T15:31:00.009-05:00

Hey everyone- I wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten to post information on my record progress. Actually, we are just under way in the process. After Caleb Rowden and I finished writing all the songs and found a producer, it was mid-February. So, now things are finally moving along at a steady pace. I will be posting pics and maybe a video or two of my time in the studio. Be looking for that soon.

I can't say enough how blessed I am to have fans and friends that believe in me and want to be a part of what I'm doing. Thank you!

More to come, please visit the blog for more exciting posts.

Blessings!

Spotlight: Stiles Select

2008-05-10T14:35:00.015-05:00

Last fall Kimberly and I traveled to craft shows all over Iowa to sell and market Stiles Select, a fresh roasted gourmet coffee company. The pictures below are from one of those events.

I started Stiles Select to help fundraise for my Nashville record. It was such a successful fundraising campaign idea that I kept it going and started a fully operational osCommerce website. Stiles Select is now in place to help support my music ministry and recording efforts on a ongoing basis.

We still have several items we are raising funds for: duplication, artwork and radio marketing, etc. Your purchase will help us get those taken care of. Please visit the website at www.stilesselect.com, and order today- you will enjoy the coffee!

As always- thank you for your overwhelming support!

God Bless

Spotlight: Kimberly Stiles

2008-05-05T17:27:00.013-05:00

One of the blessings of my career is that I get the opportunity to work with some really great people. I thought the blog would be a great place to introduce them to you now and again. Sound fun?

The first person that absolutely must come first is none other than Kimberly Stiles. For those who keep asking us if we're married you should know, Kimberly is my SISTER!

Kimberly travels with me to almost every concert. She is, hands down, the best event director around. Kimberly pretty much handles everything: merch table, travel, business, inventory, set up and tear down, etc. With her there I'm able to focus on being a blessing to the people and centered entirely on the music. And WOW, what an amazing heart she has. She is constantly encouraging me and offering God-centered wisdom to help keep the concert ministry flowing towards its greatest potential.

So, next time you see Kimberly, you'll know that without her skills and talent in action it just wouldn't be the same. Please stop by the table after a show and say hey, she'd love to meet you.

FUN FACT:
Kimberly is a big southern country gospel fan and is pictured with Charlotte Ritchie and Sheri Easter of the group, "Jeff and Sheri Easter". The Easters are on the Bill Gaither Homecoming Tour. If you enjoy southern gospel check them out at www.jeffandsherieaster.com

Concert: National Worship Summit Conference 2008

2008-05-05T00:45:00.001-05:00

The 2008 Summit was a great time. There were a lot of worship leaders and pastors in attendance. We had a video crew there along with a professional photographer, so, hopefully I'll be able to post some of that sometime in the future after editing and what not. We'll see what comes of it. I led the first evening w/ my band and taught vocal and rhythm team classes on Saturday. Speaking of the classes, over 60 people came to my vocal class....it was a blast. MORE PICS TO COME....this was a random pic of the large screen displaying the graphic of the conference....so that's why its blury. Be Blessed!

Hey everyone!

With much encouragement from fans and close friends to be more in touch with my music, I've decided to venture into the world of BLOGGER to keep everyone updated on an ongoing basis. I'll be posting different pictures from the road, studio, and whatever may cause inspiration. So, be ready to be AMAZED....ha ha ha....j/k! However, this won't only be limited to music updates. I will post other random things as well, like- stuff that makes me laugh for no apparent reason - mini devotions - and maybe some links to other blogs and websites I enjoy, etc. This will most likely take on many forms over the next few weeks and months as this is my first blog experience ever. I've never been much for journaling and such, so, I'll try to post as many pictures as possible to keep it interesting. OK, that's what I know for now. Leave a comment if a picture or something blesses ya, or just makes you smile.
