And if that's not enough, I just heard today that Jay Beech will join us as well!How could it be? Not even the ELCA Churchwide Youth Gathering has been able to get all these people in the same room at the same time!
The event is part of the Lutheran Songs Today series of performances, CDs, songbooks, and resources, masterminded by Rev. Eric Wefald from New England. Eric always appreciated the great creative work of independent Lutheran musicians over the years, but noticed there was no easy and central way to access their material, and no published books or recordings collecting their best congregational songs. So, he solved the problem himself, reaching out to the artists and compiling their work. Now, with the help of the Center for Missional Leadership at Luther Seminary, these artists will share the same stage!
Of course, I'm thrilled to be on the bill myself, and happy to collaborate with my peers like Nate Houge, Richard Bruxvoort Colligan, etc. But it's very exciting to have some of the pioneers of mainline Protestant indie music on the schedule: Ray Makeever, John Ylvisaker, and Jay Beech are kind of like the Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Bruce Springsteen of Lutheran music. And in the generation following them we have Lost And Found, also on the schedule!

If you've been involved in the more youth-ful edge of American Lutheranism for the past 40 years, you've sung the songs of these composers. "Borning Cry," "Baptized," "We Come to the Hungry Feast," and "Lions"...sheesh! Big hits for Lutherans.
If you recognize any of these names or any of these songs, you should be at the show next Friday!
