Texas. What a cool way to finish out the tour. This has been a great few weeks. Thanks to everyone who made it out to a show. We had a blast.  We’re looking forward to a couple weeks off and letting you all hear the record this record on MAY 22nd!

If you made it out to a show, you’ve heard a couple of the new songs, and we’ve got a few surprises coming for you in the next couple weeks.  Make sure you check back here, and follow us on Twitter to keep up on things.

Thanks again Texas.  We’ll see you again soon.

San Antonio, you guys are awesome. Your city is awesome too. You’re weather…. maybe a different form of awesome. Seriously though. We spent the day in your lovely city, down near the River Walk, Starbucks twice, and topped it off with you guys. A perfect way to finish the day here. Thanks for spending your time with us.

We’ve only got one more show on this little tour then it’s time for a little time off. Lufkin, let’s see if we can finish this thing out strong. We’ll see you soon.

Thanks again San Antonio.

Every time we come to this part of Texas, you people blow our minds. Tonight’s crowd was unreal.

On this tour we’ve had the privilege of playing a song we recorded on our “Worship Sessions” record a few months back. This song is written by our dear friend Phil Wickham and we absolutely love playing it.  Hope you like it.

Oh, Canada.  Every time we make it up this way, you guys deliver.  What a cool show.  Packed out and you people were loud.  Thanks for giving us a reason to make sure we get back to Canada as soon as we can.

We’ve had a great couple days and it’s time to head home for a few.  Next week we’re finishing out this tour in Texas.  Looking forward to a couple great shows.

I don’t think we’ve mentioned it on here yet, but if you folks are Instagram-ers, make sure you check us out there.  Our username is THEMERCYME or you can check them out here – http://webbygram.com/themercyme/  We couldn’t get just ‘mercyme’ because it was taken so if you know anyone that can get us in touch with Instagram let us know.  We’d love to make it not as confusing.

Anyway.  Thanks again Canada, we’ll see you again soon.

Maine, Maine, Maine. We love coming up here. Every time we are here, you people are amazing. Tonight was no exception. You people know how to sing and sounded lovely tonight.

Today some of us spent some time cruising around your beautiful town. Turns out you’ve got a pretty famous lighthouse and it’s fantastic.

Bum Ba Bum Baaaaa. That was the ESPN theme song and today we had the amazing opportunity to take a tour of ESPN. We’ve got some pretty massive sports fans in band and crew so it was a little like Christmas to some of us.  Are you kidding?  Walking around ESPN?!  I don’t think our bus is ever on any other channel.  And this picture with Derren Woodson?  What?  Sorry we interrupted you eating your sandwich.

Huge thanks to Jason Romano for making this happen.  You made Ryan’s year.

Agawam, thanks for topping off a great night by being one of the loudest crowds ever.  You guys were amazing.

Portland Maine, here we come.

MercyMe is honored to be nominated for Billboard Music’s 2012 Top Christian Artist along side Casting Crowns, Skillet, Chris Tomlin & Laura Story.

Louisiana, what a cool night. Thanks for hanging out with us.  A few of us went golfing with your pastor this morning and we really felt like we got to know you guys and your church.  You guys are on our hearts.  Thanks for sharing your time with us.  We’ll see you next time.
