Hey everyone, just a quick update…
They are HERE! the cd’s arrived last week,’Come Inside’ EP will be ready for official release Oct. 23, 2010 almost a year to the day that I released my last ep ‘Blake Paul’
You can get your advanced release at my upcoming shows which will be announced soon for September.
The CD Release party will happen on Oct. 23 2010… it is going to be party you won’t want to miss… featuring more of Edmonton’s up and coming talent. The event will be hosted at my church (Calvary Baptist Church 7215-97st.) More details to follow.
Along with the new cd, my website will get a fresh new look, as will my facebook and myspace site… If you want a preview of one of the tracks go to www.facebook.com/blakepaulmusic and listen to ‘You Can Always Come Home’
‘Come Inside’ has 4 new tracks and 1 completely reworked version of ‘Come Inside’ complete with strings by Aaron Au (Violin) and Kathleen De Caan (Cello).
The ‘EP’ was engineered by myself, and Derek Steinbrenner at Bentley Studios here in Edmonton, AB Canada, with myself and Derek sharing producing credits. Derek also mixed the project along with adding to guitar parts! Mastering was handled by Dan Shike from Nashville TN (who has mixed projects it seems for everyone under the sun in the Nashville Scene).
I hope you all are having a FABULOUS SUMMER, and I can’t wait to see you all out on the road this fall!

Wow, I am almost recuperated from Breakforth… what a great weekend! For those of you who don’t know what Breakforth is it is a HUGE Christian Worship and Leadership Conference with almost 15,000 people in attendance!
I was able to do 2 spots on the Shine FM Songwriter Stage. Thanks to everyone who stood and watched and then on Sat. asked for an encore… what a treat! I was also singing mainstage with Robin Mark a Musician/Songwriter/Worship Leader from Ireland, what a great guy!
Sat. morning and Sat. evening saw me playing bass and singing bgv’s for Linnea Salte. Linnea and her brother Jared of Junkyard Poets are old friends of mine and it is ALWAYS a pleasure to play with them! Junkyard’s played after and let’s just say there is nothing quite like their show!
Anyways, it’s on to the next things… this week is pretty low key as I am getting caught up with things from the church (you know my other job is Pastor of Worship Arts at Calvary Baptist Church but don’t let that scare if you if you aren’t a ‘church’ person that just means I get to play with great musicians and lead a worship service every week!) Amy and I are attending a pastor’s retreat in Canmore this weekend. Next week is very busy as I am playing lead guitar for my friend Landen Dorsch at a conference, and then playing bass for another friend’s band Thurs. and Friday!… Sat. a.m. Amy and I leave for my hometown (Melfort, SK) where I am performing at a fundraiser at my old church…
busy busy times, but man life is good!!!!
see you down the road!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Cafe Haven on January 21st, the evening was an outstanding success! The place was standing room only and Blake sold out of the EP’s he had printed at the time! Erin Walker Photography has some photos of the show on her Facebook page.
If you missed the show, be sure to see Blake playing at BREAKFORTH this weekend at the Shaw Conference Center. See the shows section for details.
