Heath McNease- C.S. Lewis:The Weight of Glory

HEATH MCNEASE is hard to nail down and categorize. His music style varies from Christian hip hop to acoustic love-song ballads, and his content ranges from nostalgic Nintendo reminisces to deep spiritual truth about Jesus. Today, Heath McNease releases a brand-new full-length paying homage to C.S. LEWIS, who is known for both his nonfiction essays on the Christian walk and also for his science-fiction literature, (CHRONICLES OF NARNIA and THE SPACE TRILOGY). Seems like a perfect mash-up since Heath McNease is a brilliant emcee who has the depth of heart and soul to keep up with C.S. Lewis' mind and imagination.

The release is free via BANDCAMP and you can stream the songs or download each Heath McNease MP3. Above is a VIDEO INTRO to THE WEIGHT OF GLORY. As always, we recommend that if you are inspired by the music, that you leave a donation to keep indie artists like Heath McNease writing songs and performing live.

There were some wonderful articles and interviews written about this new release. Go ahead and take your pick:

Q:TIP- Cost for Colleges to Attend NACA

As a college booking agency, one of our primary goals is partnering with schools to help grow their music programming. That's a tough challege as student activity budgets continue to be wittled-down. One of our primary goals is to help colleges be good stewards of their budgets. Sometimes it's helpful to get a "birds-eye" view of a yearly expense, so for this blog post, we're going to focus in on expenses for a college wanting to attend NACA.

NACA Annual Membership Fee for Colleges
$400-$950 for membership depending on the school's Full Time Enrollment

NACA Regional Conference Expenses for Colleges

  • $180 registration fee per student / advisor (delegate)
  • $150 per hotel room per night (2-4 people)
  • 2-5 meals on your own per delegate
  • Transportation expenses (via van, airline, etc.)

Estimated Expenses for a Regional Conference

  • Smaller school taking three delegates: $1,450 plus transportation expenses
  • Larger school taking ten delegates: $5,300 plus transportation expenses

NACA National Conference Expenses for Colleges

  • $375 registration fee per student / advisor (delegate)
  • $200 per hotel room per night (2-4 people)
  • 3-5 meals on your own per delegate
  • Transportation expenses

Estimated Expenses for a National Conference

  • Smaller school taking three delegates: $2,100 plus transportation expenses
  • Larger school taking ten delegates: $8,350 plus transportation expenses

Now keep in mind that these are estimated totals and that each school is going to have a different total cost, depending on how far they have to travel, what kind of hotel they choose, where they go out to eat, etc.
