Independents Day

Need good new music? Here is some killer stuff you may have never heard about. All these folks are personal friends of mine and I wouldn't recommend them if they weren't all over my iPod right now.

The Embers Some of Kentucky's best worship music.

Mark Mathis Songwriter from my home town. He also has anew FREE EP.

Glen Yoder Great young songwriter from central Kentucky.

Public Radio One of the best bands out of Charlotte, NC right now.

Flagship Brigade Some of these guys used to be in my band. They're probably gonna be huge.

Aaron Strumple Great songwriting. Just released a sic new EP.

Agents of Future Pretty much the most creative worship music I've ever heard.

Please listen/enjoy/buy their music/ give them some love from JMM.

    The Embers are having a little problem with the name. Apparently there is another band with the same name on itunes. I imagine they'll hve t resolved soon.

    Fantastic recommendations... I have longed for alt country worship and independent music that speaks truth. Prayer answered.

    First time to comment on your blog. I love that you mentioned Aaron Strumple. I have a hard time thinking of a more innovative songwriter in the worship realm, and the great thing about Aaron is that he would be the last person to realize that! If you haven't heard his work on Enter the Worship Circle, The Forth Circle, you need to check it out. I recommend "Trouble Won't Go" and "Too Proud."
