So I have to say that the “carnival” was well worth all the hard work. The crew who set up the whole evening did a great job. Brock Gill was incredibly entertaining and was perfect for the event. You should really try to go see him some time.
Matt and I ended up winning one of the auction items and I am so excited about it. It is going to be a gift for someone else, and we just know she’s going to love it. Anyway, here are some snapshots from the photo booth that was set up at the shindig… right next to the pigs-in-a-blanket, caramel apples and candy bar. It was a great time!
Restore Haiti is still taking donations if you are interested in giving. Every penny donated goes straight to the Haitian people. Donate at Restore Haiti.

We just got word that donations are still coming in for Haiti from the benefit we did at the Limelight last Friday night. That is so exciting! Way to keep up the generosity people!
One of the sponsors of the gathering was former Tennessee TITAN, Chris Sanders (pictured on the far right). We weren’t really aware of his background going in to this, but when he took the stage to “pray” over the food…we were blown away. He shared from John 13 about Jesus washing the disciples’ feet and likened it to what we are doing for our brothers and sisters in Haiti…That by giving of ourselves, time, money, energy…we are washing the feet of those in need. Really for me it was a call to that place of humility where it is better to serve than to be served.
In the above pic, I’m standing beside Shane Casey and his wife Renee who are some of the recipients of the proceeds of this event. They will be shipping a 40ft container full of supplies to Haiti, and hopefully get to go down to help distribute the goods. Let’s keep covering them and their ministries in prayer (Angel Food and Solid Grounds Ministries).
And for all you football fans out there…you can go to ebay and bid on the autographed white football in the picture. I’ll post a link to the auction as soon as I find it 🙂

Maybe you’ve seen the interview on Fox 17…but just in case you haven’t. You can come join us tonight starting around 5pm at the Limelight in Nashville for a dinner/show benefiting Haiti. Matt and I go on at 7:20 and we will be doing a mix of music from the CD and we’ll even throw in “Wake Up and Dream” that’s yet to be recorded.
Anyway, if you show up, for $20 you get a fully catered meal (being served starting between 6pm-7pm) and live music from 5-midnight…not to mention the proceeds are going to ship a container that has already been filled with supplies to help the people of Haiti.
We hope to see you there. Thanks!

I guess it all really started when Matt Stefanick, a MI transplant to Columbia, TN met Aimee Benge, an only child native of Kingsport, TN. It was 1998 when Matt told Aimee, after having only talked to her twice, that she was going to be the lead singer of his band one day. Prophecy or just a hunch…either way, it came true that same year and they have been doing music together ever since. They started out as “Corduroy Blue” then transitioned to “SeraSphere.” It was with the latter that they released their self-titled EP in 1999. After graduating from TN Tech University in Cookeville in 2001, Matt and Aimee got married. Matt went on to get his masters in mechanical engineering and then they moved to Spring Hill,TN. In 2004 the couple lived in South Africa for a month before returning to the states to have their first daughter, Phoebe.
After their move from Cookeville, music was placed on the back burner in lieu of having a family and conquering the great outdoors. Other than music, their favorite hobbies include rock climbing, fly fishing, hiking, and cycling.
Aimee kept writing songs even when they were taking the “break” from music…and they both knew that God wasn’t finished with what He had started in them. As a confirmation to that, without any instigation of their own, they were asked to lead a worship team at their church, New River Fellowship, in Franklin,TN. The Nashville/Franklin area, being overrun with musical talent, was the last place that they expected to be asked to do music. People have to pay to play in this town.
Needless to say, it has been an amazing time of growth and learning. Learning how to listen to God, not only out of intense desire to hear His voice and His leading, but also listening just because He wants to speak.
