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.
