True Love

Hello Everyone,

The release of “Cannons” is quickly approaching, so I’ve been spending a lot of my time doing promotional stuff for the new record. The video below was shot at the offices of Christian Musician Magazine where I did an interview, and played a few songs for them live. True Love was one of those songs. As you watch and listen try not to get too caught up in the massive production of the video, and try and focus on the song itself. I especially like the ficus tree in a few of the shots.

“After Your Heart” and a haircut… a really short one

Hey Guys,

I am so excited right now. “Why Phil?” you may ask. Well, for two reasons. First and most importantly, the first single from the new CD has been officially released to radio stations. It’s called “After Your Heart”, and it has already started getting plays on some major stations. Right now you can exclusively hear it on my virb page:

www.virb.com/philwickham

Soon it’ll be available on itunes and on myspace and all that. So now I need your help. If you like the song then call/email your local Christian radio station and be like, “Play Phil Wickham’s new single ‘After Your Heart’, YAY!”. A pretty big radio network called KLOVE has started playing it, so let’s all go to this address:

and give them a hearty thank you!!

The second reason I’m so excited is something entirely different, yet still strangely connected. With the new record, and the new single, and the super hot weather everywhere I thought that I would celebrate with a new haircut.

Not sure what I was thinking, but I went super short. Can’t tell whether I look like a musician, or a marine trying to look like a musician. Either way, it’s keeping me a lot cooler than that shaggy helmet of hair that I usually have. It’s actually kind of growing on me. I might stick with it for a while… I don’t know.

Anyway’s, I am presently in Orlando, Florida. I’ve been doing a bunch of radio station visits and interviews this week here in the deep south east corner of America. At the moment me and my traveling buddy, Mark, are sipping on some coffee trying to waste some time before we visit Relevant Magazine’s building. I’m going to be doing a podcast interview/performance with them.

ThisĀ is where you can hear it once they put it up.

So I guess that’s all for now.
Thanks for stoppin’ by.
