Ryan Clair (EP 6)
In this episode we interview Old Bear Records producer Chris Hoisington. Chris has produced just about every Old Bear Records project to date. Lukas sat down with Chris to discuss the culture of Old Bear Records and the progression of music as he sees it.
Nashville, TN, singer/songwriter Ian Zumback is a quiet person with an important message. When you listen to his music you get a sense that he is on a unique mission. “The Table” is a record that explores everything from redemption (Murderer A Messenger), to the story of the Good Samaritan in the opening track (Down in my Soul). The latter of which boasts the daring line “A clergy man just passed me by and said ‘son I’m late for service time, and if I wasn’t in such a rush I’d come and get you out.'” So go ahead and check it out. Get your copy of “The Table” now!
Every once and a while an artist comes along that reminds us of a sound and style from our musical heritage. Often that sound and style has been off of our radar for so long that we have neglected and maybe even forgotten it. Then, we encounter an artist that sings in the sound, and writes in that style, and they remind us of why we need to go back to that era and rediscover our roots! Meet Eric Lee Brumley. Eric is unlike any artist we've ever worked with. Musically, Eric has deep roots in Delta Blues and Gospel Soul. Lyrically, Eric being a former addict and finding freedom from his past addictions through his faith in Jesus, is a living testament of the power of Jesus that breaks the chains that hold us back from living our best life possible. Eric wants you to know that he's serious about the freedom he has found with every lyric he sings. His faith is not a passive faith. It is a fiery, take the bull by the horns, practical life-application kind of faith based on the words written in red in the Good Book! Vocally, Eric reminds us of Mavis Staples mixed with Keith Green. Just let that settle in for a minute! "Deliver Us From Evil," his first single from his upcoming full-length album released by Old Bear Records is out today! The single is available for pre-order at iTunes now, and we can't wait for you to hear it!
