Hymns For A New World

Every song on this album was carefully chosen to walk the listener through an experience of welcome, prayer, recognition of human brokenness, hope, thanksgiving, and benediction. In this way, it's almost like being part of a worship service - complete with a message and a call to action. These songs also carry with them a message of reconciliation - the idea that even though we all experience life differently, we come from the same Creator. Along with this comes the thought that God loves everybody. Period. Instruments featured on the album include: piano, guitar, bass, accordion, bells, drums, viola, and other assorted sounds from various keyboards. It's an eclectic combination and every single track is different. Musical influences include Appalachian folk, jazz, contemporary rock, the hymns of the United Methodist Church, and also other assorted goodies from the classical tradition.
