I’m having some down-time on this Florida tour today, so I’ve uploaded two new videos!

The first one is “Beautiful” from the Live DVD. I love the crowd participation on this one - Lynette Janzen doing the “Sprinkler”! Priceless. Also, the band is just really rockin’ it here…with Joe Servia’s one and only bass solo! You can view it on our YouTube page or the Video Page on this site.

The second one is a bonus feature on the DVD; a brand new song I’ve been sharing a lot in concert lately called “Whisper”. I wrote it for the orphans at the Iris Children’s Center in Mozambique, Africa. Our friend; Laura Anderson is serving so faithfully there, and we wanted to encourage and raise awareness about her work. It features a slide-show of photos that my wife took on a visit a couple years back. I pray it stirs our hearts to reach out beyond ourselves a bit more…

Man, that’s crazy…
I didn’t know I had 26 comments awaiting “moderation”…
Glad I found ‘em…and now I REALLY have a reason to get out of bed!

CONGRATULATIONS to Andrew for the right answer; homemade granola. Nice work, my friend.

Thanks for joining us on the journey!

Free DVD on the way…

Wheeeeewwww - we did it! Cupertino was awesome! Thanks, Shane, for a great night, and a cool chance to partner in reaching students!

I’ve actually got in the habit of calling pretty much every engagement lately a “DVD Release Party”…why not, you know?! That thing took so long to do, that we need parties celebrating it for maybe a few months… So, off to the next!

This DVD project was so huge for us, that we need…count ‘em…3 RELEASE CONCERTS (haha), and the first two are now behind us…

We were able to hold these two shows at Newport Mesa Church and Pathway; two main student communities that infused our DVD audience with such energy and personality…inspired of course by their amazing leaders; Lynette Janzen and Ron Young… THANKS, YOU GUYS!!! I was personally, totally blown away by the support and encouragements of both groups.

Tuesday started off with a bang at NMC, with Joe Morgan rockin’ the leads with us, and me cracking up on the mic as the crowd took over during my brother Josh Fox’s hit “Sister Grace”. What was so funny to me was just seeing these massive guys completely invade the stage (we were just set up on the ground, and they’re all taller than us) in a frenzy of crazy moshing, crowd surfing, and interpretive dancing…yah, that’s right; interpretive dancing…amazingly hilarious! They were all about 12 years old when I first performed for this group, so my laughter was mixed with tears of gratitude and pride, too!

I’ve been sharing our story in concert, of faith and surrender, and when we hit “Take Me Over” it amazed me that after 10 years of doing that song, it still moves and communicates with poignancy. We closed the show with another classic request…from 1993!…“Keep on Shinin’”…complete with Side 1-Side 2 Contest and Sweet Home Alabama breakdown…

The next night at Pathway, we rocked “Beautiful” and “Hallelujah” to close it out. We were floored at their awesome DVD Release Party decorations; surfboards, hula dolls, a scuba diver floating near the ceiling!, and their generous hospitality! …each band member’s OWN iced bucket of water bottles??? (usually we’re all drawing straws for ONE water bottle) We left with a giant pickle jar of money. It’s humbling to see God lead people to support us financially…just out of nowhere…we got some amazing gifts this week, and I’m left with an overwhelming sense of God’s Favor and Provision…

THANK YOU ALL!!!

…just received the boxes today…I’m FREAKING OUT!!!

A year and a half ago… 8 cameras, 2 cranes, a video truck, a stage/sound/lighting crew, a mobile studio, and a few hundred of our favorite friends descended on a little patch of grass in the middle of Costa Mesa

for ONE night

with ONE goal

to capture 15 YEARS OF MUSIC AND MINISTRY from the Justin Fox Band

and WE DID IT!!!

THE CONCERT DVD IS HERE!!!

If you pre-ordered your copy, it’s being sent this week…

If you haven’t ordered it, please do so by clicking on the cover picture below.

Your support means a ton to us, and it’s one of the big things God uses to keep us out on the road and reaching people with the joy and hope of the greatest message ever told! Thank you!!!

It’s true. We don’t get together as much as we’d like to, but the band and I make it a point to hang once in awhile at our favorite rehearsal space in Costa Mesa; The Brainyard. It’s an ad agency actually, owned by some great friends and supporters of ours, and they let us jam after-hours. Here’s a little video of one of our DVD rehearsals at our beloved Brainyard. We’re working out the new changes to “Poolman”… Get the DVD and see if we pulled it off!

My family and I had a WILD Thanksgiving! We drove the 14 hours to the far north of Cali where we met up with the whole extended clan…4 younger brothers, 3 sister-in-laws, 1 niece…and our 6…it was CRAZY! My parents hosted us all somehow with grace and class.

Here’s a highlight for me; I encouraged everyone I could to jam and sing with me on my Friday night “Thanksgiving Concert” at Mosgo’s Coffeehouse. My bros; Josh and Ben both did great sets of tunes, my dad even sang, Farrah did a couple songs, my mom lent her famous harmonies, and the kids handled percussion!

Yah, it was swwweeeeeet! We closed the night with an “I’ll Fly Away” medley, straight out of the Ozarks!HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

The band and I had another amazing, glorious tour of Virginia last week. Catching Richmond and Monument Ave. in the fall is so cool! God always does great stuff in my heart through the communities we visit in Virginia, and this trip was no exception. I left encouraged, inspired, and excited for the road ahead.  A HUGE THANKS to our east coast friends!!!

…..fall leaves …..the house we stayed in …..Joe on the stairs

Sorry for the lag in posts, but my tour schedule has been insane!!! I lasso-ed in TX, navigated through a snowy pass in upper WA, got lost in Monterey, led 7 sessions at a Sacramento conference, and sweat through 11 concerts near the equator in Sri Lanka…all in the last MONTH! I’m thankfully recouping in the Napa Valley right now and finding a moment to shoot you these pictures. Sri Lanka was an amazing experience! 100’s of people responding to the message of God’s hope! We rushed from schools, to church services, to TV shows, and radio interviews…a non-stop schedule that was rewarding in every way. CONGRATS to my long-time buddy Jeff Poole for generously winning the suitcase - thank you, bro!!!
