Eric Heilman - Worship Leadership & Playing with Charlie PeacockHear more shows like this at https://entertalkradio.com/intersectEric Heilman - "I grew up playing jazz and pop in Sacramento, playing with a variety of musicians in there and in San Francisco, working mostly as a bass player on fretted, fretless, and acoustic bass. I played briefly with Charlie Peacock and recorded several songs on Charlie's early albums. Eventually moving to San Francisco, I began playing piano more often and led a jazz and R&B band in small clubs there and in the East Bay. I met my wife Pam while teaching in an elementary school in San Francisco, made a decision for Christ shortly after the birth of my son Max in 1995, and moved to Long Beach to start a family.I dropped out of music for a couple of years after that, eventually finding my way back after being recruited to sing in a church choir, and then developing skills as a worship leader in contemporary settings. I've been serving as worship leader in some capacity

With Shadow Weaver, veteran alternative rockers the Choir took their first plunge into crowd-funding. Although the GRAMMY®-nominated group has long relied upon some of pop music’s most ardent supporters, the results were unexpected. “The response was not only stunning, but humbling,” says singer and guitarist Derri Daugherty. “It made us want to deliver, and I think people are going to be blown away by this record. It’s pretty epic.”A fearless sonic explorer, Daugherty has nurtured shimmering, otherworldly textures by employing his guitar in impressionistic brushstrokes rather than blunt force. He has also dug for visceral tones associated with shoegazer and noise-pop styles.Together with Daugherty’s imaginative soundscapes, the Choir has also won careful attention through drummer Steve Hindalong’s contemplative lyrical themes. Past Choir albums including 1996’s Free Flying Soul summoned images of unfettered potential alongside Hindalong’s “prayers and twisted love songs.” The new album’s title turns a shade

Matthew Chapman started playing bass when he was 15 and backed up a singer that did entertainment at wineries in the St. Helena, California, area where he grew up. He discovered Contemporary Christian Music in 1973 and immediately knew that was something he wanted to do.  He's not a Preacher, but he wanted to encourage people to pursue a relationship with God and, for him, music with a message was the best way to do that. He moved to Southern California in 1974 to play Christian Music full time and at that time began friendships with Sam, Randy, Bob, Jimmy, Steve and Bryan, along with a host of other musicians in Christian bands all wanting to do the same thing he wanted.  The '70s were a great time of grassroots ministries and sharing their love for God and music.  Through the years he also toured with Benny Hester, Bryan Duncan, Rick Elias, Darrell Mansfield, to name a few.  Matthew currently play with three bands: Princeton Revival - a men's ministry band, UZoo - a U2 Tribute band and The Deck Band - a gro
