Did you know I’m in a band?
Well, really it’s just a duo. And, to be fair, we don’t have any albums out, we’ve never released a song, we’ve never played a show (unless you count singing together in church, which I don’t). But we do have an awesome name.
Criminals of Eden.
Do you love it? I love it. Criminals of Eden is my dear friend Brian Fraaza and me. Honestly, we’re still searching for our exact fit, I think, because we’ve played some folksy stuff and some alternative stuff and some break up songs and one song for a man who committed suicide. But the one thing we have consistently enjoyed doing is arranging and re-arranging worship songs – ones written by us and ones written by other people.
So today, I taught him a new song that I learned last week (it’s written by the people out at Bethel Church in Redding, CA), and as he often does, Fraaz re-arranged the chord structure and wrote a sweet guitar part and just made it way more interesting than it was before. And we made a video.
Hope you enjoy!

Scotty, you’re the best. Thank you!!
Wow. *Love it!* Amazing that two folks and one guitar can communicate so much passion! Nice job…I’m inspired. :)
Thank you, Bill! Glad to hear that.
You guys are amazing. I was at church last week for the first time and plan to come back. As a former worship leader I was so impressed with your whole team. Great musicians, voices and song choices.
And the authenticity was obvious. Keep it real, God obviously has His hand on you all.
