One of my favorite singer/songwriters in the whole wide world is Dave Barnes. This information comes as no surprise whatsoever if you’ve been reading here for awhile, but if you’re newer here and haven’t heard me speak of Dave Barnes, then let me just assure you that he and his music are THE AWESOMEST.
Totally a word, by the way.
(And if you’ve never heard the soulful musical stylings of Dave Barnes before, you can listen up right here or right here.)
So today Dave Barnes is releasing a new EP called “You, The Night & Candlelight,” and as a result of that I am doing a giveaway so delightful that you will not even believe it. Or maybe you will believe it. But still. This giveaway is a TREAT, my friends.
Here’s the deal.
The very talented (and funny!) Dave Barnes has generously offered to give away ten copies of his new EP (I assure you that it is chock-full-o-musical treasures) AND a very special grand prize.
What is the grand prize, you ask?
Well, it would be my pleasure to share the details.
The grand prize is a copy of his new EP PLUS a personal Valentine’s Day phone call from the Dave Barnes PLUS a $50 gift card so that you and someone you love can enjoy a night on the town. A night with candlelight, hopefully. Because I think y’all know how much I appreciate consistency with a theme.
So, if you’d like to be eligible to win one of these fabulous prizes, here’s what you do:
1) Leave a comment and tell me who you’ll take out for dinner if you win the $50 gift card.
AND.
2) If you’d like more than one entry in this giveaway (which will close on February 14th, by the way), then head over to Dave Barnes’ website, register to win a free iTouch, and then come back here and leave ANOTHER comment telling me that you registered. That’ll get you a second entry.
AND.
3) If you’d like a third chance to win, then mention his new EP or http://davebarnes.com (no need to mention my blog – just Dave Barnes’ website) on Twitter, Facebook or on your blog, then come back here and leave me ANOTHER comment. That’ll get you a third entry.
Oh, the day is filled with many winning romantical possibilities, is it not? I mean, a $50 gift card can buy a lot of bacon for you and your loved one at the restaurant of your choosing. And I think you’ll agree that bacon is certainly the most romantic of all the meats.
Have fun, everybody!
p.s. If you’re hoping for the gift card but don’t want to wait on the music, you can buy the EP for only $3.99 on iTunes right now. Oh, it is a bargain. And did I mention the songs are very romance-y? Because they are very romance-y indeed.
This giveaway is now closed.

How did I not know about the amazing, raspy voiced wonder that is Dave Barnes?!! But now I do, and just in time for Valentines, because he is very truly “romantical”!! As for a dinner date, if I did not say I would take my husband I would be in big fat trouble would I not? But seriously, can’t think of anyone I’d rather gaze at over over dinner…my hubs is the best :)
I would take my husband out for candlelight. And maybe a steak.
I registered for an iPOD Touch! Those things are awesome, too!
I mentioned it on Facebook!
Amy Cooper is excited for Dave Barnes’ new album…http://davebarnes.com. 2 seconds ago – Comment
Okay, back from registering for the i touch…and also from falling over backwards laughing at the videos on Stars 3 and 4! He is handsome, talented AND funny — total package indeed!!
I’d love to win this!! The music is wonderful and I would LOVE to take my sweet hubby out on the town for a date! Since having our little girl we’ve only been on 2 dates in 15 months. Sad, I know!
And I totally signed up to win an I-touch…could I get so lucky to win BOTH!!? :)
I mentioned you and Dave Barnes on my blog!
This would be great! I would totally take my wonderful husband out for dinner.
And I signed up to win the I-touch! Lucky, lucky me.

And I just registered to win the I-Touch at his website. Sign me up again! Thanks for introducing us to him!
Dave Barnes is fanTAStico!
I would have to take my man muffin. It would be totally inappropriate to take anyone else, no?

I would take my husband out for Valentine’s Day!
I also registered for the I-Touch!
Yay what a fun give away!
Thanks for the chance to win wonderful music. I would take my husband of 41 years this May (Steve). It would have to wait til I have my knee surgery, but my sweetie is wonderful! The first valentines present he gave me in the 11 grade was a big brown Teddy Bear and a box of candy covered in pink satin with a pink flower on top! We went to a banquet and he sang to me “A your adorable..B you are so beautiful….on down the alphbet! How could I not marry this guy!
Ok – just wrote a note on my Facebook. Tada! I have now jumped through all necessary hoops and will keep all my extremities crossed all day in hopes that I win.
Thanks BooMama. You da bomb. :)
Oh Boo…..I would love to take my hubby (aka boyfriend) out to dinner. We have had a “Be on a cheap budget” for months dating extravaganza.
This would be a huge boost to the fun we could go out and have.
yeehaw!
I registered for the Itouch!
I will be taking my sweet husband out to dinner. He’s a hard-working pastor who is filling all his free time with doctoral studies right now. He needs a little extra TLC.
I would very much like to take the new Marti to dinner on Valentine’s day someplace other than Souplantation.
Registered for the iPod Touch. That would be sweet to win…
Oh yeah, and I registered for that ipod touch – a guy can’t have too many gadgets -but really, the call from Day-Day Barnes would make our year. Not one bit kidding.
I registered for the iPod Touch. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the fun contest.
I’m not really a Valentine’s kind of girl but I am always a get out of cooking dinner kind of Momma! So, I would take the gift card and put it with the gift card for $19.64 that the electric company sent me for being a good customer (I live in TX so I don’t have a choice about being a good customer – it is just hot and necessary) AND take all my kiddos to the chopping place aka Benihanna’s that just opened by us. Thanks!!!
I always love a give away…but then again, who doesn’t? If I were to win the giveaway, I would be taking my awesome husband to dinner. We are on the up hill trek to a very hard past year and are very excited to be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary with our vow renewal just after V-day!!!!! So pick me, pick me!!!
I would love to take my husband out for dinner and enjoy some new music as well! Thanks!
I went to his website & registered for the itouch. I really like the music.
I just registered for the I Pod Touch. I have been wishing for one anyways, so I hope I win either great prize!
Of course, I would take my husband out to dinner! …if we can find a babysitter!
And I just registered on Dave Barne’s website!
I just blogged about Dave and also added 3 of his songs on my playlist so others can hear his beautiful sound as well. I am glad you introduced me to him!!!
I would take my husband to dinner with the gift card. We’re actually going to a Marriage Conference on Valentine’s weekend, and Valentine’s Day is our ‘date night,’ so the gift card would be much appreciated!
Only one choice – my husband. He deserves it since he does the laundry.
I would take my husband. We have a 6 month old and would enjoy some “us” time out on the town! Thanks for sharing this wonderful artist! Totally my type.
I registered to win the itouch on Dave’s website.
Oh, BooMama. My 18-year old daughter loves Dave Barnes. She introduced him to ME.
She is struggling through her senior year, feeling uninspired, looking for her muse (she’s a budding songwriter herself) and generally just riding in the lower part of the valley these days. I would absolutely take her out to a wonderful dinner, spoil her, give her fresh flowers and tell her how amazingly wonderful she is. And then give her Dave Barnes.
She would be so, so happy.
Ooh! A night out. . .almost unheard of with a newborn. I’d take my husband!
I would take my hubs! He’d be excitied. {But I guess any man would be excitied for free food, lol}
And I signed up @ Dave’s site! Fun stuff!
very cool! thanks for the intro to dave!
IF (not when cause I ain’t very lucky) I would win I would take my husband.
Maybe. Probably. My boyfriend would be more fun. OK. Yes, I would def. take my husband.
I would take my husband AND the kids. Why? Because Valentines Day is my birthday and I like to share it with the whole family. :)
Hubs and I can always go out on a romantic date another night!
I would take my sweet hubby out to dinner. He’s gone a lot (military) and we don’t get a night out alone very often. That’s what I would do!
Registered for the ipod. :)
I would take my hubs to dinner, of course!
I just registered for the I-Touch~!
How is it possible that I’ve been on blogger for ages and just now found the beauty that is your blog!? I’m loving it! And you know who else I love? DAVE BARNES. You must be a kindred because Dave is the man. :)
I hope you’re having a lovely week!
I think that I would have to give the dinner to my best friend and her husband, b/c I can’t think of anyone to take to dinner that night…except, of course, my crush, but I’m too chicken to even find an excuse to talk to him let alone ask him to dinner on V-day! Hmmm…maybe this is the reason I’m still single…
Okay, now I’ve totally registered for the iPod touch.
I would take my sweet hubby out. He is the best!

I professed my love for DB’s new EP on my FB… so all my friends can share the love! :)
