Hello, and welcome to my first post...
My name is Matt Nightingale, and I'm a singer-songwriter and pastor. I'm hoping that this can be a place where we can safely share our lives... focusing on art, music, family and culture as seen through the lens of Christian spirituality.
I'm excited to announce the release of my first full-length recording. It's called "Still Standing," and it was produced by one of my heroes: Mike Roe, of 77s and Lost Dogs fame, and his longtime engineer, Ralph Stover. The other members of the 77s (Bruce Spencer on drums and Mark Harmon on bass) play on 8 of the 10 tracks, and Mike plays all the guitars and even sings background vocals with my wife, Luanne, on one track. It was a really cool experience to hang out with Mike and Ralph arranging, recording and mixing this spring and summer. Not to mention sleeping over at Mike's pad and watching old 77s videos. Mike's a great host.
"Still Standing" is the story of what God's been doing in my life over the past several years. These songs have been gestating inside me for a long time, so it's good to finally give birth. I love this music, and I hope you will too.
I'll post here as often as I can. Please comment... I'd love this to be an interactive community. Listen to the music, sign the guestbook. Kick back and relax. Stay a while.
And yes, they are my feet.
