We can all relate to an old and meaningful song, what musical throwbacks were behind the inspiration of “Unashamed” for BUILDING 429 and lead singer JASON ROY? Can JON FOREMAN’s latest musical journey accurately provide the soundtrack to the sunlights, shadows, darknesses and dawns of our lives? The classically-trained ANNIE MOSES BAND is all grown up and reimagining the musical landscape of American history. From the mind (and heart) of a former police officer and youth leader, “AMAZING GRACE” is the story of John Newton’s life like you’ve never seen it before!
Music has the power to evoke many things. I love how our particular niche of music, contemporary Christian music, can exhibit elements that are integral to our spiritual journeys. What songs have been influential to you in your walk with Christ, and why?
