We'll be at Just Off Main Coffeehouse in Grapevine this Friday, March 12, beginning at 8:00. The best news is that since this coffeehouse is a community ministry run by First Baptist Church of Grapevine, admission and coffee are free. This is really a lovely little venue, and I'd love to see it fill up.  For directions and other info., check out the details on my calendar.

You may have noticed that my latest gig listings look curiously like the title of a play by Shakespeare. Well, that's because I've been participating in a local production of Much Ado About Nothing with the Stolen Shakespeare Guild. In the role of Balthasar, I was given the exciting opportunity to write and perform original musical settings of the play's songs.

The show runs for one more weekend, so there's still time to come see it. See Stolen Shakespeare Guild's website for information and tickets.

I just found out that CD baby is donating a dollar for every cd sale or album download to relief work in Haiti.  It just so happens that the best place online for you to buy physical or digital copies of my CDs is CDbaby.com . Just follow the links on my website, and you will have the opportunity to support a local artist and the work going on in Haiti at the same time! If you or anyone you know has ever considered buying one of my albums, now is the time to act! (Thankyou, CD baby for making these contributions!)

]]>Happy New Year!http://www.christinehand.com/home/2009/12/31/happy-new-year.htmlChristine Hand2009-12-31T16:56:17ZWe have had a wonderful holiday season! It has been great to be on vacation from school and work, and we've had a blast filling the time with writing, recording, and playing Christmas music at church and elsewhere. We especially enjoyed our time spent at Hearthstone Assisted Living Center, where we found one of the best audiences anywhere for sharing the joy of Christmas through some unique acoustic arrangements. 

Now, we want to invite you to begin the New Year with us this Saturday, January 2, at White Rock Coffee in Dallas. At 8:00 you'll hear Robin Lore, and we take the stage from 9:30 - 11:30 (ish). This is one of our favorite venues, so it's the perfect location to kick off 2010! We'll be featuring a couple of new songs as well as the old favorites, so you won't want to miss it. Plus, just in case you need another excuse to come out, White Rock Coffee has some of the best coffee in DFW. See y'all Saturday! And Happy 2010!

]]>Another amazing coffee placehttp://www.christinehand.com/home/2009/9/3/another-amazing-coffee-place.htmlChristine Hand2009-09-03T14:45:08ZAs a coffee buff, I feel so blessed to get to play music in some of the places that I do.  A couple  of weeks ago, I had a superior cappuccino and delicious iced chai at Buon Giorno in Grapevine, where we played for a receptive and lovely audience.  This weekend, on Sept. 5th, I will be back at an old favorite, White Rock Coffee in Dallas.  White Rock has some of the best coffee anywhere.  Even if you're not that into our music, but you like a good cup of coffee, you won't regret coming to this show -- but we hope you'll come for the music too.  This Saturday, we'll have a more relaxed set, with just Adam and me on acoustic guitars.  The show starts at 8 pm with Trey Johnson, and I'll pick it up around 9:30.  I hope to see you there -- with a big cup of joe in hand!

The event itself was wonderful; students and other church members of all ages came together to work on projects for families in need around the community. Since I work during the day, I didn't get to participate in that part of the week, but the services at night were also incredible.  We had a fantastic time working with a full band, bringing glory to God through our music. I'd just like to give a shout out to Sam and Krissi at Reece Prairie for inviting us. We had an amazing time!
