Summer landed as the best one of my life. Surrounded each and every day by people I love and that treat me just right. Countless evenings on the lake wake boarding, taking my little boat up the Mississippi to just sit still, endless musical moments that I'm still smiling about. Ended the summer and kicked off the Fall opening for Danny Schmidt from Austin, TX @ the KAXE Ampitheatre in Grand Rapids, MN. A perfect evening in my book, he is amazing!! Had the chance to sit for an interview that was later broadcast on Centerstage MN from KAXE.....funny stuff! Was blown away to hear my name announced for first place @ the 7th Annual Songwriting Comp in Duluth @ Beaner's.....for first place Mark & I will be back to do a Headlining show sometime in December!

I'm just loving the weather, the smell of the air is just awesome right now. Looking ahead we have a really fun show coming up w/ the sunny era from mpls @ Brigid's cross on the 23rd this month...we will all be dressed as zombie's as there is a zombie pub crawl that evening..and a zombie movie being filmed!

All in all...life is good...hope it is on you end too!]]> http://lancebenson.com/news.html#55 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0700 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#54 Wakebaording has been just right this year. I'm riding a new board this year, and have a great coach...captain Nate Dorr. Hopefully I'll be landing some tricks this summer.....and always crossing my fingers that I don't get all plugged up so I can't sing.....it happens now & again.
One of my dogs had a little boo boo about a month and a half ago, and she is still healing. Can't wait for her to be 100% so she can join in on more outdoor activity.....today she is wrapped in blue...tomorrow may be green...keeping it fun to change up her colors.

Mark & I hit brigids cross tomorrow evening for a show. This is our last show for about a month or so, just kind of happened that way. We have a new version of an old fav "world to me" that we will be trying out tomorrow! More & more songs are finding Mark behind the drum set which is awesome, fun beats!

All in all things are good, hope they are on your end too!

Peace]]> http://lancebenson.com/news.html#54 Fri, 25 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#53 My yard is like a magnet to me this year”¦just lost in walking in the woods and taking deep breathes. With the water off the lake my wakeboard looks very appealing as too!!
I’m continually moved by all of you, the inspiration you bring to my steps. Takes me to my drawing board to create something new, thank you for that!
The schedule is pretty idle right now”¦.kind of strange to look at actually”¦where did all the shows go? Well, I’m working on a few good ones I hope work out! Hoping these moments of spring are finding you just right”¦]]> http://lancebenson.com/news.html#53 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#52 Off to Lusten next week to enjoy a few days of snowboarding. So excited to have noticed they have an open mic @ Papa Charlie’s (cool music venues) during my stay!! Does anyone else notice that February is just a crazy month? You can make no plans at all & some how the calendar just fills up, well anyway, the fill ups were amazing and looking forward to a little down time. Peace”¦Love”¦Spring”¦but just a little more winter!]]> http://lancebenson.com/news.html#52 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0800 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#51 http://lancebenson.com/news.html#51 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#50
Thankful for a little down time as I burned my arm pretty bad on Thanksgiving. Word of advice....only get a tame turkey...just kidding! I felt a little like James Hetfield of Metallica on friday. I had my right arm all wrapped and casted so I could get through the show, all worked out very well and no pain during the evening. Couple weeks of rest should result in good healing!

Hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving, time with firend and family, it is for sure my favorite holiday.

I've been back into writing mode again. I had the chance to enjoy an entire day last week to just write and work on new material. I'm back & forth about when to start recording a new album, I just know that when we move on the moment It is going to be an amazing journey.

Always wishing all of you peace, and thanks always for the support!]]> http://lancebenson.com/news.html#50 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#49
Mark & I had a blast on the road last weekend in Grand Rapids & Superior. Great to have an amigo on the road. Mark joins me once again this coming weekend on our way back east to Duluth. We will be closing the evening at Beaner’s Central (saaaaweeet venue). Remembering back to last year we had to cancel this gig due to a crazy snow storm”¦.it took almost a year to rebook the show but it’s on baby! Looking so forward to another day in Duluth!]]> http://lancebenson.com/news.html#49 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#48
Beaner’s is always beyond beautiful. I met so many great song writers that entered the competition. Jill Zimmerman, Lucas Ollanketo, Emily Jane to name a couple favs!
I performed a couple new tunes and was overwhelmed to have them place 2nd. Jill Z placed 1st, and Emily J. placed 3rd”¦”¦check these gals out for sure!

The 26th found Mark & I at the Wild Rose Theater in Bemidji. Thanks to all who came out to the show and kept us company. Also so many thanks to Chris Price on sound, Rolan Ohnstad running stage manager, and to the lovely KD gals who ran tickets and merch. I am blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people. Beautiful evening for sure, music truly brings people together!]]> http://lancebenson.com/news.html#48 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#47
First off I would like to send a thank you to all who attended Brenda Weiler at my home over Labor day weekend, I was so happy to see so many show up on a busy weekend”¦you all rock baby!

Well”¦as summer has been winding down, I’m gearing into fall mode. This Sunday will be our last morning wakeboarding as the boat goes to storage for the winter”¦.that’s when you know it’s fall. But I’m so excited for the transition into a busy music schedule. I’ll be in Duluth on the 23rd of Sep. performing two new songs in the songwriting comp. @ Beaner’s. If you are in or around the area, great evening of music for sure. Mark Bauer & I are super pumped for out show on the 26th in Bemidji @ the Wild Rose Theater. We’ve been in rehearsal mode the past month are really looking forward to performing lots of new material.

Thanks for a very warm and receptive open mic last night as well”¦.it was a little piece of magic for us”¦..~peace~]]> http://lancebenson.com/news.html#47 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal http://lancebenson.com/news.html#46 http://lancebenson.com/news.html#46 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700 "take the time to look back at what's to come" - Lance Benson - Journal
