Tagged Under : interview, Ryan Delmore, worship

It was my great honor to interview Vineyard recording artist and 5 Cities Vineyard Worship Pastor Ryan Delmore. I posted the interview in 3 parts last week and I’ve included all of them below. Ryan’s new cd The Spirit, the Water, and the Blood is now on sale at Vineyard Music. I’ve heard a few tracks and they are amazing so please do yourself a favor and buy the cd.

Part 1

Ryan and I discuss his family background, church background, how he started leading worship and the importance of youth worship development in the church.

Part 2

Ryan Delmore Ryan and I discuss more on his band experience in the church and outside the church, we riff a bit on worship band improvisation and how the Vineyard has cultivated that atmosphere in its worship bands. I also asked Ryan about his songwriting technique and if he has 2 creative avenues, one for the church and another less creatively binding avenue for songs that might not be intended for corporate worship. His answer was humble and profound and I think is something a lot of new young worship leaders should pray on.

“If I get a good melody, or some good chords, I don’t wanna waste them on something that doesn’t point people to God.” -Ryan Delmore

If you’re a worship leader that plays outside the church in other bands I think this statement is a challenging one. There’s much more to that answer in the interview so listen up!

Part 3

Ryan and I talk about the origins of his new cd and how it took shape, how Marc Ford, former guitarist for the Black Crowes, got involved in the project, Ryan teases on a possible tour with Chris Lizotte following Chris release of his latest record and finally I get to ask Ryan “What’s Next?” for corporate worship in his neck of the woods.
