Voices In My Head Podcast Episode 310: Wild Harbors
The Band Wild Harbors is comprised of husband and wife singer-songwriters Chris and Jenna Badeker. Formed in 2017, the alternative pop outfit creates gutsy, lyric-driven songs laced with intricate vocal harmonies. Confronted with the knowledge that each person is given one short life to live, they put their previous careers aside to step into the adventure of music and invite other people to live their own adventures.
Their debut album, Monument, was produced by Andrew Osenga in Nashville, TN and it recently released on March 15, 2019.

Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #307: Father of Christian Rock, Joseph Markko and The All Saved Freak Band.

Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #307: Father of Christian Rock, Joseph Markko and The All Saved Freak Band.
 
 
“In the fall of 1968, a small radio station in Ashtabula, Ohio unleashed a whole new genre of music upon their listeners when they aired the All Saved Freak Band’s first recorded songs. It was the very first time ANYONE had heard the idiom of rock music being used to convey the message of the gospel (This was before Larry Norman and a full 5 years before to the term Contemporary Christian Music being coined!)
  The All Saved Freak Band’s unique sound stemmed from its ensemble of 12 members skilled in rock, folk, blues, psychedelia, and classical music. ASFB blended those genres and sounds together to deliver straight, unvarnished, lyrical truth which countered the hedonism purveyed by much of rock n roll.
  What makes their work so worthy of reissue is the bold experimentation and superior musicianship on display – qualities critics often find lacking in the very Contemporary Christian genre they were pioneering.
  Their bold sound and stellar chops inspired and influenced a cult following among vinyl heads and musicians alike, being name-dropped particularly by artists like Dan Auerbach (of the Black Keys) and Damien Jurado.
  Old Bear Record is reissuing multiple records from ASFB, the first such release being the 1976 LP ‘Brainwashed’ .
 
Today on Voices In MY Head I am honored to have Joseph Markko, one of the original members of the All Saved Freak Band.

Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #305: Remembering Rich Mullins - Guest Beth Snell Lutz Shares Memories of Her Friend
 
Elizabeth Snell Lutz was a dear friend of the late Rich Mullins. Most people don't know this but Beth, using a simple tape recorder, captured hundred of hours of lost Rich Mullins live performances and demos. It's a real honor to have Beth on the show today to tell us some of her memories of Rich in her own words.
On this episode we share the original version of the song Thunder, the story behind the song, and the new and reimagined version of Thunder which I released on my new album, Thunder, which releases February 8th, 2019.
This is a very special episode that you won't want to miss.
Blessings,
