In late February of this year, Joe sat down with Anthony and Chris Hoisington (and bevy of other fine individuals) and enjoyed an extended conversation with the group known as Brothers McClurg. Sadly, when we sat down a week later to edit the interview for a feature episode, tears welled up in our our eyes – after five minutes, the audio flat-lined, rendering most of the interview unusable (unless you like to hear a monotone buzz for 40 minutes…).The thing is, we really like these guys, and their music is great. Therefore, we made the decision to swallow our pride and share the small bit that we do have, because we want to get the word out about Brothers McClurg one way or another. So, although the episode is brief, it is still fun. Listen in, download their latest releases (Home and Around the Mic), and be sure tell a friend about the fresh new music you’ve discovered.

The Amp’d Interview is back after a brief hiatus. Back in January, we were introduced to Drew Ley (pronounced like “lye”) by our good friend Chris Olson, who communicated to us his enthusiasm for Drew’s forthcoming EP, Anchor. We quickly began to coordinate an Amp’d interview with Drew, but it took over three months to pull it together – through no fault of our guest.Hailing from Bossier City, Louisiana, this gentlemen speaks humbly about his craft as a songwriter and a performing artist, frequently referring to himself as an “amateur”. We beg to differ. It is clear that Drew takes his faith, worship leadership, and songwriting quite seriously and recognizes that it’s a lifelong journey and not a quick trip.Spend some time getting acquainted with Drew and his music in this eighth episode of our artist interview series.

A few weeks ago we visited with our good friend Sarah Emerson for an Amp’d Interview where she shared with us the What Joy Project. For this week’s Wise Words, we ask Sarah about the release of her album two years ago and how she determined whether it should be released as a Christian or secular work. It’s something than many artists question as they consider where their work will have the most impact.We also promised to update you when we had new information on the project launch. Here’s what we know: The launch is March 21st , and the launch party will be held at Urban Hardwoods in downtown Seattle – for those of you who live the Northwest or are interested in travel. Tickets are $35 and go sale February 20th with proceeds given to What Joy Project after costs.By the way, Sarah shared with us the following short note:FrequencyFM,Thank you so much for the support!We are excited to announce the What Joy Project Campaign launches March 21st. First in Seattle, then all over the world via the internet and Social Media. As hundreds and thousands of people give of time, talent, and finance…together we will build a dormitory in Uganda for orphans who need a place to sleep at Destiny Orphanage and Boarding School.Thank you,Sarah

First things first: thanks to you all for making Part 1 of our interview with Bonnie Gray one of the most popular ever on Frequency. Of course, it’s no wonder. Bonnie’s compassion and authenticity are apparent, and her enthusiasm is engaging. For Part 2, we learn about her recent collaboration with visual artist Dee Kasberger of www.RedLetterWords.com, which quickly transitions into a discussion of current culture and its behavior towards artists.The latter half of this episode (after the music transition) turns personal and focuses on the topics of anxiety and PTSD. For folks acquainted with Bonnie’s book, Finding Spiritual Whitespace, this won’t be unfamiliar territory and is a key part of the journey. We hope you stick around to listen to this important piece of the conversation.

Last year, Bonnie Gray came to our attention by way of her excellent memoir-driven book, Finding Spiritual Whitespace. Our contributor, Mark Newton, loved it and wrote a glowing review. We followed up shortly thereafter with a two-part written interview. When offered the chance to catch up with Bonnie, we jumped at it.What started as a quick check-in with the writer behind www.FaithBarista.com became a wide-ranging interview about art, anxiety, and God’s grace. After 90 minutes of engaging conversation, we find in Bonnie a kindred spirit and an individual with an immense heart for her fellow artists. We’ll be sharing this in two parts, so listen in next week when part 2 is published.

In the middle of the December, 2014, an email arrived in the Frequency inbox from a young singer/songwriter by the name of Skylar Kaylyn. Before we ever listened to music from her sophomore release, In My Head, she had our interest. Why? Because this precocious 18-year-old is from Wheatland, Wyoming, a small town (pop. 3,652) in the southeastern corner of the state. And it just so happens that Joe is a graduate of Lovell High School in Lovell, Wyoming. No, the towns aren’t really near each other, but Wyoming is Wyoming, and Joe tends to get excited about these things.As it so happens, Skylar is talented and her album is quite good. That always helps. Tune in to the conversation and learn a bit more about our new friend from the Cowboy State and the intriguing way her album came together.By the way, Joe’s audio cut out once or twice during the conversation. Not enough to be a distraction, but in case you’re wondering why he doesn’t complete a thought, it has nothing to do with his mental stability…
