JMB Good News Bad News
I normally like to get the bad news first, but in this case, I’ll give you the good news. Here’s a wrap up of the latest from the Josh Martin Band.
Good News
Josh and Christy Martin are going to have a baby! Josh had told me a few months ago that they were trying, and it has finally happened. So, congrats to them. Keep them in your prayers that Christy’s pregnancy will go well, and that they’ll be blessed with a healthy, happy baby. She is due in December, which is also the month of Josh’s birthday. And my mom. And Jesus. So, some pretty cool people were born in December.
The JMB is also working on new material. Still no plans to record anytime soon, as we’re still working on making the songs sound like songs. So far, we’ve just sort of hammered through chord progressions on a few new songs. The next step is coming up with interesting parts to make them sound unique. It’s a cool process, because it’s the first time we’ve actually written the music to the songs as a band. They definitely have a different feel than our previous songs.
Bad News
We have, like, zero gigs lined up for this year. If anyone out there would like us to come and play, let us know!
The really bad news is that we’re losing a member. Bert Lace has decided to leave the band. We’re going to miss him! His family has decided to adopt from a foreign country, and that is one of the reasons for him leaving the band. He also stays very busy with Cedarmore and Crossings. Considering his reasons for leaving the band are to glorify God through his family and occupation, I can only be happy for him and wish him the best
