“Whistle While You Work”
- 10.10.200910 CommentsAddison Road is out on tour with Sanctus Real and takes of a few necessary details.
Thank You!!
- 9.27.20099 CommentsWow. We are completely blown away by all of the support, prayers, and love you guys have shown us. We put the blog up on Thursday night asking for help, and by tonight (Sunday) we have met our goal of $3000. $3,176 to be exact! We are still in shock at how quickly the response came. Thank you so much. It has been such a blessing for us to see the Church come together and support us. God continues to remind us of His faithfulness.
Some really cool details have worked out with our transportation for the tour. Erik Bledsoe is a worship leader in Nashville, TN and caught wind of our situation. Erik has a great shuttle bus that is way better than our 15 passenger van and it turns out he is not using it during the month of October and has offered to rent us this amazing shuttle bus for the tour. So for the same price it would cost us to rent a 15-passanger van, we now have access to a bigger, more comfortable shuttle bus. Yeah, ARoad upgrading!
What is really cool about this story is that he and his wife have been a little stressed financially about the coming months with not many shows booked on the calendar. So the money that you all so freely gave not only makes this tour possible for us, but it goes beyond us and helps another family. It is amazing to see how God works.
So, from 5 very grateful and humble friends, thank you for being the body of Christ to us. You have been such an encouragement to us. This past week could have been overwhelming and discouraging, but God used each of you to remind us that He is faithful and that we are exactly where He has called us to be. Using our music to bring people closer to Him. Thank you for believing in us and believing in what God is doing through us. We look forward to seeing many of you soon out on the road.
Love you guys- ARoad
We Need Your Help

The curse of the Irish? Seven years bad luck? Third times a charm? Who knows, but Addison Road has struck out again! On the way home from a show late Tuesday night we got in a wreck with an oak tree that had just fallen into the road due to some rain and storms. The oak tree won. The van is out of service for a minimum of 3 weeks and once again we find ourselves headed into a tour with no transportation.
In the 8 year history of Addison Road we have never EVER asked our family, friends, or fans to financially support us, but today, we are asking.
We need $3,000 to rent a van for the Sanctus Real tour that begins next Friday… otherwise ARoad will be out of commission. We in fact realize that this is not bad luck, rather, we believe it to be directly from the one that seeks to kill, steal, and destroy. Every time we as a band set out to make God’s name known, to love on people, to bring hope to those who are hurting through our music, and to be God’s hands and feet, we find that every area of our lives are attacked. And that poor van gets the brunt of it! We count it pure joy to find ourselves in the midst of such attacks and rely heavily on your prayers… and today… your financial support. With so many obstacles, we are more convinced than ever that in the spiritual realm, there is someone who does not want us doing what we are about to do. Little does he know… we cannot be stopped that easily.
Another way you can help… If you have access to a van that can pull a trailer for about three weeks and would be willing to let us borrow/rent, please let us know. That could also be an amazing way that you can help us.
Love you guys and appreciate all of your prayers and support. We will keep you updated.

Interesting Night

Interesting night last night. Interesting month. Forget that, interesting year for AR!
We were driving back to our managers house last night in Nashville. Going around a blind curve and to our surprise there was a huge tree that had just fallen across the road! The tree and van did not like each other very much, and I am sad to say that I think the tree won this round.
There were only two in the van at the time and both had no injuries. Only a crumpled van.
We are so thankful that no one was hurt last night. The only challenge now is that we start a tour next week with Sanctus Real. But, it will all work out. It always does. Pray that we can get all of those details worked out.
Poor van.
Who wants to buy us a bus?! (I kid. or do I?)
So You Want More?
- 9.9.20095 CommentsYou want more AR?! Well, my friends, if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you are in luck. The Official Addison Road App is now available in the iTunes store.
Its as if you could literally shrink us into miniature versions of ourself, wrap us up in a bow, and keep us tucked away in your pocket all day long. Cant get much better than that. Well, except for that pesky pocket lint. Or that warm gum that gets everything sticky. But I digress… Addison Road App is here! Go download and enjoy all that is AR!
Rock Or Not?

So we played at a festival the other day that ended up literally being in a dust bowl. Seeing that cleanliness is next to Godliness, we took all the necessary precautions to make things as clean as possible. Our question to you dear bloggers, is cleaning our cases to a sparkle rock or not???

We have come across a gem of a picture! Take a guess which AR member had a budding football career circa 8th grade. That’s right, it’s your ol pal Travis. Nice to know he has something to fall back on if this whole Addison Road thing doesn’t work out!
