This Sunday we introduced the newest member of Our Rising Sound, Caleb Dailey. Caleb will be doing guitar work and hopefully become a utility guy. It was nice to have a second guitar player to take some of the responsibility off me. I’m very accustom to playing in 3 piece bands as the only guitarist [...]

Earlier I posted a video of a new song from Jesus Culture called “Burning Ones.” I really dug the vibe of the song and thought the melody was really cool. This past week I started evaluating it to see if we’d do it in service and step 1 of evaluation was writing down the lyrics. [...]

Came across this video of a new Jesus Culture song on shawnw.org . This song “Burning Ones” is off the new Jesus Culture album Consumed. It’s a pretty killer song, I dig the vibe, a really cool tag section at the end. Overall I was really impressed, looking forward to checking out the album.

The genesis of our arrangements goes a little something like this. I get in the shower and think about the song and work it out in my head for about 30 minutes. Yeah I take long showers, definitely not the “green” way of working arrangements, but it’s what works for me. If I think it’s [...]

Dynamics are crucial to a good set. Dynamics inside of a song, dynamics in the set as a whole, dynamics in instrumentation and vocals. This week when planning the set I knew I wanted to break down one of the songs acoustically that we had been doing fully electrified with loops. It ended up being [...]

I used to be really bummed out when I’d see people in the congregation who were obviously bothered by the worship music. I would try not to take it personally but as a young worship leader(16-23 or so) it would weigh on me. Nowadays though, I’m older, wiser, about 30 pounds heavier and have a [...]
