Here’s a clay-tastic take on my song Almost Flew. It’s my first ever music video and it’s my first attempt at claymation. Maybe the last. The video took about 40-50 hours of shooting and editing. It’s not perfect, but all in all, I’m pretty happy with the result. Let me know what you think!

Oh, and have a great Memorial Day weekend!

UPDATE: A couple behind the scenes photos from the shoot at Flickr:

Luke Flowers (Renaissance Man) and Jeff Caylor (With a New Haircut) are performing together (Finally!) in Downtown Colorado Springs at the Pikes Perk on Tejon on Friday, May 23rd.

The music will be loud (full band) and the coffee will be hot.

Here’s a quick video of me presenting at the Dove Awards last month. I don’t know how much more will be available at Godtube.com (We presented 4 awards in all) but I will be posting some details about my trip to Nashville very soon.

Just got a heads up that my CD has been favorably reviewed at CrossRhythms.co.uk. I like to read it with a British Accent. I think you will too. Here’s an excerpt for you to practice with.

Jeff Caylor’s debut album is a fun, intimate 11 track gem. Caylor is based in Colorado Springs, but a sleek Nashville-country-folk feel pervades the majority of the tracks on ‘Okay’. Having said that, Caylor also gleans liberally from other genres - the standout tracks for me were the cool jazz funk of “Pain Is A Megaphone” and “Standing Still”.

Fun, right? The full review is here.

It’s been about a month since the trip to Beijing and Hong Kong. I had a great time and enjoyed some really sweet moments with good friends from all over. In this short video, the nations of China, Iceland, USA, Czech Republic, Italy, Germany and the UK are all represented! We recorded a live DVD and CD that should be available soon. More details coming on that…

Also coming soon, I’ve got a very detailed, behind-the-scenes look at the Dove Awards that I’m about to post.

Had a fine time Saturday night at Pikes Perk. Thanks to everyone who came out to show support and those who tuned in online. Sorry for the lousy audio on the live webcam feed. Need to get that sorted before the next time.

If you’re subscribed to the mailing list, then you already know that I gave away 2 copies of the Andrew Peterson novel to Jeff Hyatt and Jay Sluyter.

And, if you’re subscribed to my mailing list, you are also aware of the fact that I’ve been asked to present a Dove Award to someone this Wednesday evening in Nashville. I was asked by the Pre-show producer to be a presenter at this year’s festivities. Should be a kick. I’ll try to post an update here with the time I’ll be on stage. Keep an eye on my twitter feed as well for updates.

The pre-show (where they hand out most of the awards) isn’t televised like the main show on the Gospel Music Channel (check local cable listings) but it will be broadcast on Godtube.com. Hopefully they’ll offer an embeddable player that I can put here on my blog Wednesday morning. The pre-show begins at 4:30pm ET.

For the early scoop on big news, subscribe to my mailing list.

UPDATE: I’m presenting with Need to Breathe and I’ll be doing 4 Dove Awards about 1/4 into the pre-show. I’m guessing it will be around 5:30pm CT. If I do any more current updates, they’ll be at twitter.com/jeffcaylor.
