...it started out a common conversation... Thanks for taking the time to check out our new blog. First off we want to let people know about our band called Olivia.Olivia has been in existence for the last two years and we've recently finished our E.P. that you are welcome to download at http://homepage.mac.com/lookoutdesign/olivia. This is a temporary download site until we get a functioning website. You can go to our existing website www.oliviamusic.com, but don't expect much. This blog will afford Ben and Cory (the songwriters) the opportunity to write about the lyrics of existing songs and those that we do not speak of. It will also give Dustin a chance to explain the reason for his incessant use of the G chord. We have also been exploring and discussing the role of music in society and the church and we would like to continue that conversation on a grander scale. Feel free to enter into this conversation with us. We are all from Minneapolis and in addition to Olivia we contribute to the music at Solomon's Porch Church. We see music not merely as entertainment but as something that breathes, inspires, challenges, compels, evokes, and speaks to us when words fall short. There's more to come.
