M88 at the State Fair
M88 is headed to the New Mexico State Fair September 10-26. This year the fair is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, but we'll be out there every Wednesday-Sunday and we want to meet you. Come by our booth located across from the Manuel Lujan building to visit with Ty and Will. They'll have lots of great giveaways and will be broadcasting live from 4:00-7:00 PM each day!
Interview with Hawk Nelson
Last week Ty had the chance to talk with Jason from Hawk Nelson. Check out the full intereview and learn more about what Hawk Nelson is doing in Haiti.
Hawk Nelson has launched its newest music video, "Shaken," produced by Ransom.tv, an online ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA).
For one week, "Shaken" will premiere exclusively to Hawk Nelson fans before going public. The video will be available on Hawk Nelson's Facebook page – only fans who "like" the page will be able to unlock the video. Fans will also have the opportunity to join the band and Samaritan's Purse in helping to feed 1,000 kids through its "Get Shaken" campaign.
"We love partnering with organizations and individuals that share our heart to impact the lives of others to Live Life Loud," share the members from Hawk Nelson. "Working with Ransom.tv and the folks at Samaritan's Purse is an absolute honor. ‘Shaken' is a personal song - we had a blast making this video with Ransom.tv and love the end result."
In 2008, Hawk Nelson went to Haiti to visit the Hands & Feet Orphanage, where the band was moved by the people they met, especially children. "Shaken" was written following this visit, and the band says the song has even greater meaning after the country's devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake earlier this year. Front man Jason Dunn was able to visit Haiti in February with international relief organization Samaritan's Purse, where he says he saw how Haiti had been truly "shaken."
Along with the subject matter of "Shaken," Hawk Nelson has devoted this year to the motto from its most recent album, "Live Life Loud." Providing various avenues to get involved, the band is now working with Samaritan's Purse to feed 1,000 kids with the "Get Shaken" campaign. Anyone wanting to make a difference in a child's life can join the cause page on Facebook.
A "Ransom Note," or video testimony, from Hawk Nelson also debuted this week on Ransom.tv. Through this platform, band members had the opportunity to share their faith in Christ. To view the "Ransom Note," an interview about the meaning behind "Shaken," behind-the-scenes footage and photos, visit Ransom.TV and the Ransom Facebook page.
Fans can also watch Hawk Nelson perform live this Saturday, Aug. 21, at BGEA's Rock The River Tour in Calgary, Alberta, as well as on Saturday, Aug. 28, in Edmonton, Alberta. Those not able to attend in person can see the performance streaming live on Ransom.TV. For more information on these festivals, visit www.rocktherivertour.com.
