Loop available: “One Righteous Man” by Red Letter (Free)

One Righteous Man is one of my favorites off of Red Letter’s self titled album. The band is led by Pastor Joel Brown of Mars Hill Seattle. The record is full of incredible tunes, most in an alt-rock vein that you don’t hear in worship music much, but that’s to be expected coming out of [...]

Audio: How we do instrumental Puritan prayer readings in service

Loop Available: “I Want to Know You” by Brian Doerksen & Cindy Rethmeier (Free)

For quite some time I’ve have an idea of working on new and very different arrangements of classic Vineyard songs. This arrangement sprung up almost out of necessity and was a lot of fun to work on. I Want to Know You was a very popular song in the Vineyard that was recorded by Brian [...]

ORS Music: Come Thou Fount (Acoustic) – 1 Take, 1 Mic Sessions

A couple Sundays ago my band came up with a new arrangement to Come Thou Fount before service. I really liked the feel and I had an idea of doing these live recording sessions where we’d do it acoustically gathered around a single mic. So last night all us family folk had a few hours [...]
