Sing My Welcome Home

In lieu of doing an 11th "track by track" episode for a song that is a reprise of an earlier song (that we already spent plenty of time talking about), we decided to try something special for the final installment of this series of album-related episodes.  This is an edited-down recording of a house show we played in Seattle for some of our Kickstarter backers.  It also includes songs from Gabe Much and Zach Bolen (Citizens & Saints).  Enjoy!

Dan and Torry discuss Track 10, "Sweet Rivers of Redeeming Love," from our debut album Sing My Welcome Home.  Hihglights inlclude: equestrian wild-man hymn writers, the Zombies and fuzzy bass guitar sounds.

This is pretty self-explanatory.  Having just wrapped up the official episode for Track 9, the guys keep chatting with Chad Gardner of King's Kaledisoscope.  It's funny and thoughtful and you'll be so glad you listened.

Dan and Torry are joined by Chad Gardner, singer and songwriter of the ecclectic 10-piece indie worship band King's Kaleidoscope, as they all chat about track 9, "Shed a Beam of Heavenly Day." 

Dan and his guest and good friend Matt MacDonald (The Classic Crime, Vocal Few) are finished talking about the song, and have decided to keep talking about other things, like: gross and hilarious tour stories, making music without thinking about money, skinny dipping in Mexico, and punching themselves from 10 years ago in the face.

This week, Dan is joined by his very good friend Matt MacDonald, singer of The Classic Crime and Vocal Few.  The two of them discuss "Once I Had A Glorious View," a 3-part suite of a song, focusing on the darkness of the lyrics, as well as some of the more interersting musical elements.

Dan is joined this week by our very own keyboardist/vocalist Torry Anderson, as they discuss Track 7, "The Sands of Time," possibly the most psychedelic track on the album, and celebrate the release of the record!  "Sing My Welcome Home" was released a couple days ago, 3/24, on BC Music. Grab the album for $8, including the Pacific Gold EP: http://shop.badchristian.com/collections/pacific-gold

Dan brings on not one, but two guests this week, as they all discuss track 6, and the album's first single, "Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul."  Matt Carter is the guitarist of the band EMery, and owner of BC Music, as well as a member of the BadChristian Podcast.  Jonathan Jones is known for his bands Waking Ashland and We Shot the Moon, as well as solo material.  As always, the show concludes by playing the song in its entirety.

Dan brings David and Brian into the studio to chat about Track 5, "Spirit of God," as well as Louis Johnson, singer of The St. Johns, who co-wrote the song with Dan in Nashville. As usual, the song in its eintirety is premiered. Pre-Order "Sing My Welcome Home" at http://pacific-gold.com The Saint Johns: http://www.thesaintjohns.com/

This week we're joined by Zach Bolen, singer and guitarist of Seattle band Citizens & Saints.  Zach and Dan talk about the process of writing and arranging "Song in the Air," track 4 from our album "Sing My Welcome Home."  Hot tubs, beer commercials, and Elliott Smith are talking points.  Per usual, we premiere the song in its entirety. * The conversation between Dan and Zach went much better and longer than expected, so please see the Bonus episode released just after this one if you'd like to listen to the entire uncut hour-long conversation. Dan has a change to interview Zach as well about his story and process. * Pre-order the album: http://pacific-gold.com Citizens & Saints: http://www.citizensandsaints.com/

In Episode 3, Dan chats about the new song "I Will Know Him." Talking points include false Messiahs, complete musical overhauls, whiskey, and of course, another chapter of "Great Moments in Bass Guitar History with John Raines." As usual, we premiere the song in its entirety.

Singer Dan Koch and drummer David Stuart discuss and dissect the second track from our forthcoming album, "Gone to the Grave."  Hope, dead children, and 70s soft rock are talking points.  As always, this episode concludes with the exclusive premier of the song in its entirety.
