Song School

Hello good people. I'm launching my new website. It is www.chadcates.net. Check it out! As a part of the launch, I am also adding a service on this blog called Song School. Hopefully it will be a place that you can check back every now and then to pick up some tips and tricks about songwriting. Here is the intro video. The second video is the first lesson called "Melody Dynamics". Let me know what you think.

Unredeemed

Hello all,

I wanted to let you know that Selah released their CD, "You Deliver Me" a week and a half ago. It contains three songs that I wrote with Todd(One of the members of Selah) and Tony Wood. The songs are called "Beautiful Terrible Cross", "Depth of Mercy", and "Unredeemed". Here is them singing Unredeemed. It is going to be their next single. I'm excited for everyone to hear this song. Let me know what you think.
