Just wanted to let you know I am a few weeks into the fall/winter “Love Is Waiting” tour and we are starting to video blog a bit.  We just posted a couple on my Youtube page with many more to come.  The link is below.  Would love it if you kept up with us and prayed for our travels.  Love you guys and hope to see you really soon!

Just found out this week that both CCM and Worship Leader Magazine are doing features and review my new album “Love Is Waiting”!  The album officially released this month and already God is using the record to open some pretty crazy doors.  Can’t wait to share more as more of these sweet things get finalized……..

I am currently booking my 4 month nationwide tour that is going to run from Sept 1st pretty much through Christmas.  Still gathering connections and taking requests from ministries and venues to figure out the final routing.

I can’t wait to hit the road again and start spreading the new music!

Love In Him

Start to finish, this album has taken over 3 years to create. We spent one full year just experimenting with different recording techniques, types of gear, mixing options, and anything you can think of to make sure this project would become everything that it possibly could be. I have a tremendous passion for people and my Creator and I wanted this record to be the most glorious offering I could possibly create to bless them both. And I am incredibly excited to finally share it with you

To see the way God has blessed this process is insanely amazing and extremely humbling all at the same time. During the recording of this record I was able to sign with one of the largest PR labels in the country meaning this album will be released nationally As well as have a legitimate and good chance of getting national radio play These were answers to 10 years of prayer.

In addition to that amazing blessing, halfway through the project, one of the largest mix engineers in the country agreed to take on my album. Mills Logan, who has mixed artists like Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Montgomery Gentry, Collective Soul, Toby Keith, and many more……………………. for some reason decided he wanted to mix my album

The list of amazing things God has done to bless this project and amazing people He has brought to it in insane ways is seemingly endless. Those are just 2 huge examples of His hand being all over this thing.

Guys, I have spent more hours than I can count pouring myself into this thing. So many sleepless nights thinking about every detail. Every part. Every beat. Every sound. And I have had so many amazingly talented people pouring themselves into this record as well. All because we believe that music is powerful. It has the power to change lives. It has the ability to comfort the broken. To soften the bitter. To lift the spirits of the depressed. And most importantly of all, it has the ability to draw us to God like very few other things in this world. God sings hope to the human heart with melodies and rhythms in ways language cannot.

Guys that is why I do music. That is why I tour. That is why I write. And that is why I have spent 3 years on a project to make sure it could speak to as many hearts as possible.

I have been waiting for this night for so long And I would be honored beyond words if you came out and celebrated with me!

I will have many of the musicians on the album with me for this show which will be an incredible blessing!! The theater is gorgeous. The sound system is immaculate. We are going all out to make it the sweetest night possible

Lastly, guys, I know times are tough. And I want as many people as possible to be able to attend this thing. So I have decided to keep the ticket price to just $5. Not only that, but for one night only, my album “Love Is Waiting” will be for sale for just $5 as well. As a sincere thank you for your love, support, and your time.

I love you guys very much and I hope from the bottom of my heart to see you there. Seating is limited so if you would like to purchase a ticket ahead of time send me an email through the contact page of www.danenkane.com. God bless you all!

Grace and Peace

Yikes, I am so sorry I have dropped off the blogging planet.  I really am, because that is something I want to commit to and actually really enjoy doing on a regular basis.

I am sure I am not alone in feeling this way, but here’s the deal.  My personal life has been completely rocked this year.  I am currently walking through the hardest trial I have ever walked through.  And not sure if you are like me or not, but when something major is going on in your life, that is in depth and complicated, sometimes it’s just easier to not say anything.  It’s easier to just disappear for a bit and wait for the storm to blow over.  You don’t know what to say so you just don’t say anything at all.  Well…… that’s why I haven’t blogged since April.

I love you guys and I know you love me so I just want you to know I appreciate your support more than you know.  Both of my music/ministry and of me as a person.  My mentor in college once said, no one is going to learn more from your ministry than you yourself.  And that is so true.  It’s like going on a missions trip.  You go to impact the people and you end up a thousand times more impacted yourself.

My life is just very odd right now.  When people ask me “how are you doing?”………… I could give drastically different answers and both of the answers would be 100 percent honest and accurate.  Certain aspects of my life could not be going better.  The new album, ministry, things are growing like crazy……. signing major deals……. seeing God move more powerfully then ever before……… and then certain aspects of my life are in complete and utter devastation.  Experiencing the worst heartache I have ever tasted in my life.  And failing in areas of my life I never dreamed would even be an issue.

You put all of this together and it  just feels like an insane tornado of God’s workings.  My head is spinning and life has never been busier or more complicated……….. but at the same time I kind of feel like it is standing still.  It’s so weird.  It’s like I am in the eye of the storm……. watching everything happen around me, yet feeling powerless and detached from the violent winds.

I am learning a ton about God’s sovereignty right now……. even though life is overwhelming…….. i don’t feel overwhelmed.  I honestly feel more than I have ever felt that God has everything under control.  Life is literally to much to handle.  And He is teaching me about letting go of a lot of things I put on my shoulders that I am just not capable of carrying.  Surreal place to be……. but it’s just one more village along this journey it seems.

I will be sharing more in the months ahead about things, but that is all for now.  The record is on schedule for a February release and I am crazy excited!!!  I think you guys are going to flip when you hear this thing.  It is the record I have been waiting to release since my ministry began about 8 years ago.  God is……….. amazing.

I appreciate you guys more than words.  There are exciting things ahead and I hope you come along for the ride!

In Him
