Daniel Marsalese: At Baker Book House

JUNE 4, 2011 @ 1:00PM

Live Acoustic Concert

Daniel Marsalese has released his first album Pages of a Book this May. His style is that of a artsy folk with some strong instrumental improvisation. Daniel and his band have played together so well that when it comes to writing the songs the different voices of vocals and instruments are present and accounted for. This relaxing and easy to listen to sound is excellent for any time.

Come check out this talented artist after your lunch on Saturday and be blessed with the great music.

New Veggietale Movie! The Princess and the Pop Star! Coming August 13!

Princess Poppyseed’s life on her family’s farm is far from the glamorous but lonely world of her favorite pop singer Vanna Banana. On a chance meeting at a playground, Vanna and Princess cross paths and realize that they look almost exactly alike—which leads to the crazy secret plan where they decide to switch lives! As each girl realizes that the life they longed for doesn’t fulfill all of their dreams, they learn that the life God gave them is the one for which they were uniquely and lovingly designed.
      Featuring a lesson in “being yourself”—the DVD helps young girls understand that each of us are created unique and special with God-given talents, based on Jeremiah 1:5, which reads, “Before I formed you in your mother’s body, I chose you. Before you were born, I set you apart to serve me.” The DVD also includes the new song, “You Never Are,” written and performed by this year’s Dove Award-winning Artist of the Year, Francesca Battistelli.

Swimming with Dolphins - A Review

If you like Owl City, you will also like Swimming with Dolphins. It is the same techno pop sound that Owl City made famous, but it also has some unique components to it.  This is not surprising, because Adam Young of Owl City produced Swimming with Dolphins. Although Swimming with dolphins hails from the chilly climate of Minnesota. Front man, Austin Tofte has created a sound with their music that is surprisingly war and upbeat. One can't help but thing of sunshine while listening to Swimming with Dolphins, but maybe this has to do with the fact that I'm from Michigan. 
      The music has a very youthful sound to it. Some of the sounds remind me of the music of the 80's, and some of the music reminds me of video games of my youth. Yay Mario Brothers! The overall inspiration for the album, however, came from the ocean and favorite childhood memories of America's largest lake (the Great Lakes). So this is some definitely music to play by the pool or lay out to. So smile and enjoy so easy listening music.

Lovewell Live in Concert - A Review

The Lovewell Live in Concert was an excellent way to end one's weekend. Natalie Grant, Brandon Heath, and the guys of MercyMe gave an great crowd interacting preformance with a great light show that didn't need a lot of smoke (which is never good for pictures). I should apologize right now if this review seems bias toward Brandon Heath, but that is due to the fact that he is one of my favorite contemporary Christian artists.


Natalie Grant was golden with her talented vocal range. The control that she has has also been impressive. What was interesting with her section was her song choices. She is a self proclaimed Tweeter Geek, and she had asked her followers to request what songs they would like to hear. I agree with Natalie when she said that the stories received with the song requests make the song more than just about a song. It is about the message of Jesus within the songs that have the power to touch someone's heart and life. This song has a story that was shared. Parents had written to Natalie and said that this song helped them deal with the sudden lost of their little child do to an accident.

Brandon Heath knows how to put on a great show with just enough new mixed with classics songs and sharing words with his audience without sounding preachy. YAY! The only sad news that I have to share is that my video of Brandon didn't turn out so well (the camera couldn't handle the bass). Brandon sang songs from his new album of "Stolen," "Leaving Eden," "Your Love," and "Light in Me." He also sang amazing songs from his two previous albums of "Love Never Fails," "Give Me Your Eyes," and "I'm Not Who I Was." It was some great times of singing along, and Brandon kept the crowd encaged through a couple of different ways. As when he jumped up and then down from a big black box and walking into the audience by walking on chairs. There was this one little boy who didn't release that Brandon had left the stage until he looked up and Brandon was right in front of him. The little boy was so excited. It was cute. I thought the way in which Brandon related with the crowd was sweet. He told us of how he rode his Harley to Yesturdog, a famous hot dog place in Grand Rapids, and he has a connection with Youth Unlimited that headquarters in Grand Rapids. Needless to say the crowd loved him.

MercyMe is a band that loves the audience to participate, and I can see their logic. It is more fun to participate in life than to just watch from the sidelines. MercyMe had the audience participate in a number of ways. One was singing along and pointing your finger as a motion. There was one point in which Bart Millard had asked the audience to dance with him. He put it like this, "I grew up Southern Baptist, where one person dancing is a sinner, but where many people are dancing is choreography." I don't know about you, but I wish that I used that line in my conservative Christian high school. They had done a rock song from the 80s that has been their warm-up song for many years (though now I forget the song), but it was interesting with the different generations that either knew or didn't know the song. Being that MercyMe is over ten years old, there was many choice songs that they used. Some that I was happy to hear again. One of my favorite parts was when the confetti exploded over us. It was a great concert well deserving of the encore that it received.

How Great Thou Art - In the News

Last Friday night (April 22, 2011) on CBS, the Academy of Country Music presented Girls Night Out: the SuperStar Women of Country. One of the special treats of the night was when Carrie Underwood song the hymn "How Great Thou Art." Vince Gill accompanied her on his electric guitar. You see people singing along, people crying, and giving respect to something that they might not even believe in. One of the redeeming factors of country music is that it is so easy for many artists to express their faith safely. It is always something special when a song, one grows up singing like a hymn is sang in today's mainstream music. This can reassure us that God can use us sinners and the imperfections of life to bring about His glory.
      Every song has a story, and "How Great Thou Art" is no different. In 1885, Carl Boberg, a Swedish minister, wrote a poem called "O Store Gud" (O Mighty God). His poem was set to a Swedish melody, but was not widely known.

When I the world consider

Which Thou has made by Thine almighty Word

And how the webb of life Thou wisdom guideth

And all creaion feedeth at Thy board

Then doth my soul burst forth in song of praise

Oh, great God, Oh, great God

      Hearing this hymn in Russia, English missionary Stuart Hine was so moved he modified and expanded the words and made his own arrangement of the Swedish melody. He later said his first three verses were inspired, line upon line, by Russia's rugged Carpathian Mountains. The final verse was written after Dr. Hine returned to Great Britain.

      Some time later, Dr. J. Edwin Orr heard "How Great Thou Art" being sung by Naga people in Assam, India, and decided to bring it back to America. During the 1954 Billy Graham Crusade in Harringay Area, George Beverly Shea was given a leaflet containing this hymn. Then in the New York Crusade of 1957, it was sung by George Beverly Shea ninety-nine times, with the choir joining the majestic chorus:

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Laura Story's Blessings - A Review

This sophomore album of Laura Story is of a reflective melodious beauty. The music she composes is a delightful balance between smooth praise & worship and more contemporary muses. Even if one may not be familiar with her name, they will recognize the songs that she writes, like "Indescribable" made popular by Chris Tomlin.
    Laura admits, “Everyone wants to be a mature and equipped follower, but would I have signed up had I known what it would take? God has grown us up, deepened our faith, our awareness of our great need for him as a savior, daily. We knew it before, but we didn’t see it. This is a good place to be.”
    Blessings reflects that hopeful place. A worship project at heart with constant threads of pop energy and singer/songwriter warmth, the album was recorded in Georgia at Chris Tomlin’s studio and produced by Nathan Nockels (Passion). Story penned most of the ten songs herself but partnered with co-writers including Brenton Brown and Third Day’s Mac Powell.
    Laura's songs refect her faith, just as her bio reflects a man who lived many years ago. Her first single, "Blessings," off this album is a great example of that faith and life. 

                   

What if your blessings come through raindrops? What if your healing come through tears?

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know you’re near?

What if trials of this life are your mercies in disguise?

These words hold so much the power of faith that no matter what storms may come in life, they have a meaning for your life. There is an old Chinese story that says something along these lines. Many years ago, in a time where China could still have more than one child, there was a man who had only one son. The man and the son worked hard together, but the man was advanced in years, so most of the work was left to the son. One day, the son was working in the field when an accident happened that left him with a broken leg. The family was devastated for now how will they survive, and what kind of future will this young man have? The next day, however, some soldiers came to the town and collected all the young able-bodied men to be the builders of the great wall of China. Those workers were never seen again. However, the son was not taken. The accident that broke his body saved his life. Stories like this are so common. Yet when it happens to us, do we have the faith in God to see us through?

What If We Were Real by Mandisa - A Review

This third studio album of Mandisa is another solid project that one can expect from the amazing vocal talents of Mandisa. I see Mandisa's first album, True Beauty, as one that does reflect more on the issues of image. This not surprising containing it was one of the reasons for her falling out of American Idol. Her second album, Freedom, is a declaration of a new Mandisa, and how she came so far not by herself. God has delievered her through so many trials in His loving arms. What If We Were Real is an album that encourages the listener to live life today, and if you can't find the strength inside then look to the One who is strength.
     The album, What If We Were Real, begins with the first single "Stronger."

The rest of the great collection contains the songs like "What If We Were Real," "Say Goodbye," "These Days," "The Truth About Me," and "Lifeline." Well most of these songs are from the first half of the album, but these songs were the ones that I thought featured her great vocals with meaningful lyrics. Or you could say that these were my personal favorite songs on the album. The one exemption from the beginning songs is the song "Lifeline." "Lifeline" is actually the last song on the album, and it does a great job ending the album with the lasting thought that God is the only lifeline that we can cling to.

Coming this week to Baker Book House - ICRIS and friends!

Check out West Michigan's Christian rap artist, ICRIS as he does an acoustic set here at Baker Book House. Hear his amazing redemption story of how God can bring healing and a purpose to anyone. ICRIS's music is more of an outreach ministry to those both young and old. He isn't afraid to talk about the hard issues of life that many ignore or don't know how to help or relate to those struggling against darkness. Since ICRIS lived in darkness, he can relate and be the light of Christ with people. Music is said to be the language of the soul. Where words fail, the music carries true. I can always feel the Spirit move when I see ICRIS live.


So if you like good rap music and an amazing message, then I shall you see on Saturday!

Hello Fear - Kirk Franklin - A Review

This has to be one the best albums that I have heard yet this year. The music was well made, well produced, and well written. This album when I listen to it seems to flow from one song to another and at the end, the sense is one of completion.

      This Kirk Franklin album is a little different from all his previous album. The album begins without an upbeat, foot tapping song or an engaging story, but the beginning song "Hello Fear" has a lot of heart and describes the entire album. Kirk Franklin has shared his experience of his fight against fear. The album reflects on the struggle that many of us go through. Kirk Franklin changed the way we experience gospel music back in the earlier 1990's, when he mixed in the hip hop sounds with gospel music. I was expecting to hear something along those lines of intensely upbeat praise music. I was happily wrong and right, because the upbeat song "Today" that possess what one would expect from Kirk Franklin is on the same album of the lyically reflective song "Everybody Hurts." This album is more reflective and smooth R & B much of the time, but maintains the unique sound that is Kirk Franklin.
      When I first heard this album, I just wanted to share it with everybody that I saw. His song "I Smile" is one of reasons. It is really interesting to me because he describes bad things happen in an upbeat rhythm.  The song that tells us that even when bad things happen, we should still smile because of Jesus's joy in our hearts. I love how almost all the songs describe a silver liner in life that is the joy of Christ Jesus.
       Also on this live recorded album (and by "live" I mean that it was real backup singers and real instruments used), there are other artists featured of Marvin Sapp, Beverly Crawford, Rance Allen, Marvin Winans, John P. Kee, Isaac Carrie, and Mali Music. I love how Kirk Franklin was able to have the gospel legends and the new, talented Mali Music together on the same album. This is a multi-generational reaching type of worshipful album.

           Please enjoy the first single from this album below and I hope that you enjoy the rest of the album as much as I did.

A Shine of Rainbows - A Movie Review

A Shine of Rainbows gives life to a wonderful story of belonging, home, and family.
      Tomas, a shy eight-year-old orphan, is adopted by Maire McDonald, a beautiful woman bursting with life. She brings him home to Corrie, a remote island off the coast of Ireland, where he meets Alec, her reticent husband, who cannot hide his disappointment. 
       Maire shares with Tomas the classic and whimsical folklore of the island, the secret of the seals, and other wonders; mainly, that you can find hope anywhere if you really look. In this rugged and enchanting world, Tomas thrives and Alec begins to see in Tomas what Maire always has. But when tragedy strikes, Tomas is faced with his greatest challenge. He'll lose everything unless he can find and share the hope that's inside of him.
      What makes this movie great is the use of colors. The colors are a hint to the emotions of the shot. When there is many bright and vibrant colors, the emotions of happiness or light heartedness are present. When there is darker hues, the emotions are sad or more subdued. The movie is well done with excellent acting, gorgeous transitions, and the plot was well thought out. And for those who have a hard time with other accents, don't worry the Irish accents used are very easy to understand. It was a movie that brought laughter, smiles, and tears. I know that many will enjoy this movie as much as I did.

Make Your Move Concert - A Review

Last night, Sunshine Community Church rocked out the Make Your Move Tour with Travis Moore, Tenth Avenue North, and Third Day.
      Travis Moore is new to the stage, but not new to music as a songwriter for many well-know songs. He rocked out with his great guitar playing and his catchy lyrics. Any drawbacks, I would have to say was with his last song, "Jesus Rode the Subway," that I had some issues with the lyrics. Now this is a purely bias reason as I am someone who uses public transportation and it annoys me when assumptions are made to the types of people who use public transportation. However, the meaning was clear that God loves everyone even those who others turn away from.

1.       Tenth Avenue North gave an expected awesome performance. They rocked out with their worshipful songs, playing the songs form their new album The Light Meets the Dark as well as "By Your Side" and "Love is Here." The audience was treated to a new song, "You Don't Owe Me Anything." It was another meaniful song  of theirs that points to a God who cares inspite of us sinners. Many times last night, they were called men of God by others and I would have to agree. Any drawbacks was the sense of rushed between songs, but maybe this is because I have recently enjoyed their new project release, Tenth Avenue North Live: Inside and Inbetween. The DVD provides music videos, concert videos, and anointed song parables.

      Third Day came out with a bang as they rocked this concert in their 20 or so year as a band. Band members like bass player, Mac Powell and his heartfelt devotional talk, would come out on stage and speak to the audience. This interaction presented a sense of community between the vocalists and the listeners. This sense was even stronger when the band played among the seats in the center aisle. All night Third Day had been playing songs from their two newest albums and favorite songs of the past. So when they opened it up to request a funny thing happened that made the concert perfect. In one of the songs, Mac Powell had forgotten song of the words to the song. It reaffirmed that some songs are not dependent on the artist but are timeless in the hearts of the listeners. The audience was treated with a sneak peek to a new movie "8 Days in Utopia" where "Born Again" will be heard. This movie will be good, so look forward to seeing it in theaters this summer. Any drawbacks would be the time spent in the middle of the aisle where not everyone could see, but I guess if one is going to put that much effort into moving locations to make it worth while as they did.

       It was a great night that had incited an enchore performance of Third Day coming back out for two more songs. YAY!

Rising Stars is stellar! - A Review

So I sat down to watch this movie pretty skeptical about it, and I was pleasantly impressed with it. Lately, I have seen many movies that I have just found lacking something. Some have had a great story ideas, but either the transitions were cliche, the acting just not there, or the delivery is awful. In many cases one can overlook the lacking production, but thankfully here I did not have to as this movie was filled with talent both in front and behind the camera. 
      Imagine a singing competition and a film competition all in one TV show. The beginning introduces the three finalists in the singing and three finalists in the film categories. The finalists travel to a fine arts school, where the film finalists will create a music video of the singing finalists. Sounds musically exciting right? Well, the teen finalist come from diverse backgrounds, and all possess different personalities. These differences invite some challenges for the kids to overcome in order to win as they have to work together. And if we can more drama, there is this producer who will do anything to succeed. Just how far will these kids go to succeed? For what reasons do these kids want to succeed? This is another great movie about how life is not just about destinations, but also the journey of how we got there.
      Though this movie is not a movie about God, it is one that asks some important questions of how we live this life. This would be a great movie to share with those would normally be turned off by any movie labeled as "Christian". This is a positive movie for the whole family to enjoy as I have done with mine!

Here for You is Passionate!

     I have to say that I simply love the Passion Conference that happens every year. In some way it reaffirms the thought of a powerful God moving and active today. I mean how else could a gathering of so many Followers of Christ be able to come together and make such beautiful noise together.
     This musical experience begins with a great song by Chris Tomlin called "We Are Here For You." It is the kind of song that compels one get up and worship. By saying that we are here for the LORD, it gives purpose in everything we do. Life isn't all about us; it is about HIM. The next song, "Symphony," continues on this thought of life all about God with the entire creation glorifying its Creator.
     The Passion Conference is not just with Chris Tomlin but also features gifted musicians of Christy Nockels, David Crowder Band, Matt Redman, Kristian Stanfill, and featured in the song "Shadows" with David Crowder Band is Lecrae!
     As with Passion's Awakening released last year, don't be surprised to be soon singing these anointed songs in your church's worship! One might wonder if Here for You is as good as what Awakening was. I would have to say that that is a tricky question, because Here for You is the next step in this journey that we call life. Personally if I could combine the two projects on one compilation, because I would say that they are both that good.
     At the heart of it all, Passion exists to see a generation stake their lives on what matters most - the fame of the One who rescues and restores and our opportunity to amplify His name in everything we do.

Lecrae - Rehab: The Overdose

This second half of Rehab entitled the Overdose is a continuation of the first half of Rehab that was just released 3 months ago and has sold over 75,000 units to date. Lecrae is appearing on the 2011 Dove Awards & now is nominated for a Grammy for Rehab. Due to some misunderstandings and icy snow, we now have The Overdose in our store! 
The album like Rehab is an amazing, powerful collection of songs. What is powerful about them is that they deal with issues that no one wants to talk about and Jesus's power is shown in the mist of those issues. One of the songs is entitled "Anger Management." Have you ever just been so mad that you don't care what happened? Have you been caught up in a rage? I have. Well this song is treated as a anger management class. It has the person acknowledging the anger, then moving on to the consequences of that anger, then to what that anger means in separation from God, and then finally towards a healing. This message is full of meaning and comfort for those with rage. "Blow Your High" is about what is suggests; however the next lyrics are "but you really are getting low." There exists chemicals that effect the central nervous system directly. This in turn effects ones mood and/or how one views the world around them. These chemicals are manipulators in the body. "Your body is feeling right, but your soul is going left."  The chemical effect may have an enriching feel; however, Jesus is being rejected. He enriches our lives. This song challenges the user. The CD goes on to ask the question of how you are living your life. The question that comes after is why or for whom are you living your life. What are you chasing after? Who are you overdosed on?

"Around every corner is the lure to consume.

A Desire to be satisfied.

Unfortunately no human being has found anything under the sun that brings satisfaction.

So we consume more, and more, and more.

Eventually we overdose.

However, there is hope if christianity is our rehab.

In Jesus satisfaction can be found. 

Grace, love, peace and hope can be found...and there is always more.

Consume more of Jesus.

Overdose."
