Getting lost in melodies, finding harmonies, and singing into hair brushes is something I find myself doing virtually everyday. But there are moments when I just need something deep—something to move my soul. In moments where Ke$ha, Black Eyed Peas, or Florence + The Machine won’t do, I scroll through my iTunes folder and sift through the worship music I have.
Truthfully, it’s not a lot.
Brian, me, and some random guy at Catalyst 😉
I am totally a snob when it comes to worship music because as creatives created by the Creative, we are called to produce to the highest of artistic standards. When I hear Christian music in the same four chords or simply copying a secular song while hygienitizing the lyrics, I’m appalled. Like I said, I’m a music snob.
When I do find someone I like, I will play [and outplay] their CD until I can sing along or until I’ve annoyed everyone around me who can bear to hear the same song over and over again. Today for instance, I was getting ready and blaring Brian’s CD. Again. At 5:43am Matt came into the room gave me one of those “seriously?” looks. Yes, to his chagrin I was listening to Grace Ocean. Again.
But Brian just isn’t my flavor of the week. No, sir. He’s more than a worship leader, musician, and God-fearing man. I consider him a friend [and even if he doesn’t consider me on his top ten list of favorite people, I’m graffiting my name in!]. When he sent me a sample song to preview, I couldn’t wait for the full CD.
The full CD is here and I’m beyond stoked to share his music with you. In fact, I texted him and asked if we could give away some of his music on the blog. So because Brian is rad and has a rocking beard, he’s hooking us up. Today you have the opportunity to win his new full-length CD for FREE. Leave a comment with some of your favorite worship leaders and three winners will be picked at random 🙂 Whoever loves Brian, say aye. AYE!
Here’s a sample of his stuff. To check out his stuff or to buy his CD directly, check out his site. Or leave a comment via facebook by clicking here.
My all time fav has to be Mr.Tumnus. My experiences with him changed my life forever.Keep up the good work Bri.

I just listened to one of the songs on vimeo…..amazing! I'd love to get a hard copy of his album!
Chris Tomlin has always been one of my favorite worship leads because of his melodies……anyways, I'd love to be picked 🙂
CONGRATS! YOU ARE A WINNER OF BRIAN'S NEW CD. I will send Brian your email address. You can choose from a email file with the entire album or he can mail you a hard copy 🙂
Cheers!
AYE!
Some of my faves are Brian Wurzell, Ben Wurzell & Ryan Axtell 😉 …..Keep it personal, right???
Chris Tomlin, my old friend from Rock Harbor Todd Proctor, and of course B Dubbs. I get to throw in a fourth and say Ryan Axtell too, because it will ensure I win a copy of the CD, kind of like stacking the deck. In fact, I’m gonna say Seth Wells and J Dubbs, too, there, I win.
trying to rig it santner…wow! 🙂
Jonah Werner. Go have a listen and thank me later.
My brother was just talking to me about this exact thing last night. He was sharing his opinion on hearing the same four chords when God is worthy of so much more. He was trying to be careful in not to offend but I knew what he was saying. So when I read your blog I forwarded it to him. He was ecstatic to know he wasn’t the only one who saw this. Just wanted to share that. So I was able to share with him some worship music that moves my soul and makes me want to praise Jesus for all to see! Sweet Chariot is an amazing band who’s cd is playing non stop in my morning worship. Also love Shane and Shane and of course Shacah has lyrics that will motivate anyone to stand apart for Christ. Looking forward to becoming a fan of Brians!!
God bless

I think worship music is one of the hardest things ever to create. I will begin worship pastoring a church this Saturday and have been working on writing and it is beyond difficult to capture in word the essence of a God who is not only far greater than us, but far greater than we can understand. Some people that I think do it well are: 1.) Aaron Ivey 2.) John Mark McMillan 3.) Michael Bleecker 4.) Matt Redman 5.) Joel Houston 6.) Phil Wickham…
Barlow girl and CCCV worship group and so many more, but I can't remember names right now…
Greg Sykes from St. Catharines, ON Canada – I listen over and over and over!!!
Hillsong and Jesus Culture 🙂
Bianca (and anyone reading!),
How do you choose your music? I, too, LOVE a wide variety of music – dance music, like Ke$ha, and hard rock music. But it seems that when I begin to flip through the radio, all the songs are about gettin' crunk and being immoral! I'll rock out, and then later find myself thinking things I normally wouldn't. How do we overthrow Satan from the radio? Or, at least, how do you pick your music choices wisely and still get your groove on?
All my love,
Achin' T. Rock
