Happy New Year!
Can I still say that? It's almost the end of January and I'm still in a daze. 2019 feels weird and I've been in a bit of a daze because time is going faster than it ever has and I've become keenly aware of how much older I feel these days. I'm in the twilight zone!
RECAP AND HIGHLIGHTS
Last year was epic! So big and so full! I thought I'd share all the videos that came out in case you missed something. They seem to recap the year better than any words I can offer. L-R: Hold On, Happy, Ever Stay, Say Goodbye.
    And now here we are. We made it, yall! I'm glad to be existing with you in this new year where anything can happen! Anything! Here are a few of those things...
2019 UPCOMING CONCERTS
"Do you ever get tired of singing the same songs over and over again?" It's a question I'm always asked. My answer is usually no. With every new audience, a song I've played a thousand times still feels new. This year I am especially excited for the shows I have on the horizon. As I continue to maintain a simpler gig schedule and as quality becomes even more important than quantity, I'm really looking forward to the following intentional evenings of music I've committed to...and I hope you'll join me!
 Feb 2: LANCASTER, PA - Melton House Concert [open to public. RSVP: booking@joyike.com]
Mar 23: BLOOMINGTON, IN - Private House Concert
May 11: MEMPHIS, TN - Folk All Ya'll [details] [tickets on sale April 1]

HOST A HOUSE CONCERT ?
I'll be in or near St. Louis, Evansville, Louisville, and Memphis this Spring for some private events. If you're out that way, and are interested in hosting a house concert, let me know! And of course, if you're in the Northeast region near home base (PA, DC, MD, DE, NJ, etc), I would love to do something. Not sure what's involved? Check out my extensive house concert Q&A page on the site.
 A few days ago, a friend asked me what I am most proud of accomplishing in 2018. In response I shared my pride in Bigger Than Your Box, a project that took everything out of me but gave just as equally. Maybe one day you and I will sit down for coffee and I'll tell all. Until then, I hope the songs continue to move you, shape you, transform you, and remind you that you are bigger than your box. My greatest prayer for you this year is that you will experience greater levels of God's goodness and that you will walk into His fullness for your life!
What are your hopes and dreams for this year? I'd love to know!
Happy 2019 and thanks for reading!!!
Joy
