Evergreen Terrace on Firepit Friday!
Hailing from Jacksonville, FL Evergreen Terrace has been blazing their own path through the melodic hardcore style for over a decade now. Anchored by guitar player/vocalist Craig Chaney’s clean singing and catchy hooks, punctuated by lead singer Andrew Carey's vicious screamed vocals, the five-piece band never depended on anyone but themselves to push their band forward. Rounding out the lineup alongside Andrew and Craig is Josh James (guitar/vocals) and Kyle Mims (drums) as permanent members. With their blistering combination of melodic hardcore, metal and punk-rock strains, Evergreen Terrace has toured the world with bands like As I Lay Dying, Rise Against, August Burns Red, Hatebreed, Thursday, Circa Survive, Everytime I Die, Strung Out, Agnostic Front and many more. They have also been apart of Sounds of the Underground, Vans Warped Tour and Soundwave Festivals.

Donnie and guests
Donnie Hall was a good friend and this gathering at my studio was the last time we saw eachother before his passing.
I had a margarita party for the new design team SpringSprang and invited some people to join in on the festivities.
Donnie was there celebrating with us. It was a great night of fun and the festivities went late into the night.
We lit the fire pit and enjoyed everyone's company until early morning!
Good friends and great conversation that is what I will miss the most when I think of Donnie Hall.
