There are certain songs that hit you. As you walk from day to day with the radio playing or your headphones in, marching along to your job, letting the sounds of your favorite band pump in to your ear drums, there will eventually be a song that, almost physically, punches you in the heart. Maybe it's the lyrics that seem to be speaking directly to you and whatever circumstance you find yourself in. It could be a haunting melody that moves you to tears. It might be the ramped up energy of a chorus that boosts you as you push through the last mile of your morning run. What song is it for you?
I had the honor of sharing the stage with a rising star, Julieanne Marie. We didn't think we were going to have time to sing this song, but were asked to by the event organizer. He'd heard us practice the music before things kicked off and I am SO glad he asked us to sing it as encore.
This is "Nothing but the Blood of Jesus". What an incredible tune this is! I don't want to say it's rare, but music usually doesn't strike me to my core the way that this song does. I dig, and dig, and dig to find truly great music, great singers, and great songs. This timeless song is an honest, outcry of the heart as it declares Jesus as the only source of life and strength.
I hope you enjoy this worshipful duet featuring Julieanne Marie (watch out for this girl! She's taking off!!!)
The human voice is a truly amazing thing. When it's blended together with tight vocal harmony and paired with songs written by the great Kurt Carr it becomes something entirely different and special.
Sam Robson has become one of my all time favorite Youtube artists. This is a man who has taken his talent and sharpened it into a true skill. This guy is a true gem! Your ears will NOT be left wanting.
For Nashville
based, Memphis born Drew Holcomb, “music is medicine” and it seems only
fitting that along with his band The Neighbors - wife Ellie (vocals,
guitar), Nathan Dugger (guitar, keys) and Rich Brinsfield (bass) - the
group will celebrate a decade long career with the release of their new
full-length studio album Medicine.
This is one of Seattle's best folks... Well, I guess she actually belongs to Sweden, but she lived here for a bit and has moved on to LA as she continues pursuing her passion. If you think her cover is good, you NEED to see her live!
Jennifer Newberry will melt your face with a voice that's equal parts butter and smoke. You NEED to get in on her music! You may have seen her as a contestant on The Voice just a short while back as well.
Here is the official video cover of Rihanna's "Stay".
