Amp’d Interview: Sarah Emerson - Frequency.FM

A few years ago, we had the blessing of being introduced to Sarah Emerson, singer-songwriter and worship leader from Seattle, WA.  At the time, we interviewed Sarah for The Songwriters Cafe (now www.KingdomSongs.org) as she promoted her album Sarah Emerson and the Radio Kings.  The album was a unique endeavor wherein all proceeds benefited the Destiny Orphanage in Uganda, Africa. In our latest Amp’d interview, Sarah brings us up-to-date on her efforts and introduces us to the What Joy Project.  Listen and learn more about how you can be a part of this growing compassionate community. ## Other Notes: * The launch is slated for mid-March 2015.

Christian Musician Summit Northwest Highlights - Frequency.FM

As you are no doubt aware, we were fortunate to spend some time amongst fellow creatives at Christian Musician Summit NW last month.  Our joint efforts with Worship Ministry Catalyst resulted in 40+ interviews. For this special episode, our 28th full podcast, Dan and Joe share a few of their favorites from among the artists and contributors.  Plus, they banter about a bunch of random things that you know you love almost as much as the interviews. Other notes: * Despite pronouncing Trevor’s last name correctly (‘ma-thee-son’) during the interview, Joe butchers it while recording the pdocast.  Trevor is used to it, but we still feel a little bad. * Irony: the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.  Considering this definition, we suspect that our use of this term was not wholly correct. * Based on the fun we had conducting these interviews, we have introduced our new interview format – the Amp’d interview. Check a few out now: https://www.frequency.fm/category/interviews/ampd-interview/ * We mentioned conversations with a few other folks during the banter.  You can find more information here: Tim Ellis from Triad Orbit; Noel Walker of Heartbeat Percussion; and Wisdom Moon of CentricWorship * Don’t you think you should give us a shout out on iTunes?  Well, we do.  We’ll even make it easy by providing links to both the US and Canadian sites are provided:  (US: https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2; Canada: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/frequency.fm/id599474294?mt=2 Holly Starr As we were minding our own business at the booth, we found ourselves blessed with the presence of none other than Holly Starr.  She sat done and chatted with Joe for a few minutes on her way back from a benefit concert in Marysville.  We hope you enjoy our little chat with her.  Be sure to follow her on social media and check out her music.

We introduce you to Sarah Brusco, a worship leader and vocalist hailing from Augusta, Georgia – by way of Ireland and Columbus, Ohio.  Not too far in the background you’ll find her husband, Eben – coffee cup in hand.  Joe chatted with them about The Woven Whisper, Sarah’s recently released album of personal worship music, leading from electric guitar, and the benefits of interning with Kathryn Scott in Ireland. ## Other Notes: * Sarah releases a Christmas single December 10th on NoiseTrade.  We’ll share links to the song and associated compilation as soon as we get it. * In case you want to learn more about Eben’s guitar (that Sarah plays), visit Tradition Guitars online.

Amp’d Interview: Ross King - Frequency.FM

We were excited to learn that our buddy Ross King just released a four-song Christmas EP titled Come and See.  It seemed only appropriate to bring him on for a quick Amp’d Interview to chat a bit about it – and especially to learn more about Joe’s favorite track, “God With Us”. ## Other Notes: * If you are interested in submitting a photo or video for Ross to consider including in his forthcoming music video for “God With Us”, time is short.  Send it via email to rkchristmasvideo@gmail.com and do it before Monday, December 8th for it to be considered. * Ross makes many charts of his songs available on his site (http://rosskingmusic.com/).  Just navigate to My Music>Lyrics and Chords once you’re there.  Amongst other great songs, you’ll be able to find “Hallelujah for the Cross” and “God With Us”.
