 Inertia

CD/Song Compilation – The Dojo Sessions
Genre: Rock
By Brandon Greene

The Maryland-based four member band, Inertia is affecting rock music in a positive way and helping to redefine worship music for the better.  For over two years, Inertia has been pushing the envelope back to expand our culture’s outlook on worship beyond what it is today focusing on what it can be in the future.  With a mix of influences from modern worship leaders like Matt Redman and modern bands like Mute-Math, Inertia creatively incorporates the two sounds into something original.  This rock four-some combines unique guitar riffs and rhythms with messages most Christians will relate to.  Their driving rock anthems are sure to draw listeners into the musical creations that define Inertia.

CD/Song Compilation – Trust
Genre: Rock/Pop/Folk
By Julie Cook Hess

Jay Memory has seen it all. During his career, he signed a major label deal with the reputable Capricorn Records and toured internationally back with his former band Memory Dean. He is also one of the few artists around today that manages to make a living as a musician without the backing of a record label. This insightful and humble singer/songwriter from Atlanta now offers his talents to both churches and local venues alike. His extensive experience playing live over the years enable him to feel equally comfortable in either setting.  But, Jay will be the first to admit that it has been a long road getting to this place in his life.

 Katherine Woodman

CD/Song Compilation – Rearrange Genre: Pop/Worship
By Rhyne Armstrong

For my latest assignment, I was lucky enough to be given Katherine Woodman’s independent EP, Rearrange.

While I am not a professional musician, I do know what makes a good sound, and I like what I heard on Katherine’s CD.

Her voice is clear and distinctive, with a joyful quality to it that you just don’t hear from someone who isn’t a full-time worship leader or someone who has been doing this for many years.

CD/Song Compilation – Self-Titled
Genre: Rock/Pop/Worship
By Julie Cook Hess

Arlington, Texas singer and songwriter Mitch Waddell brings a fusion of folk and jazz to his special blend of music. Although he has been playing and producing music for 15 years, he only has been composing his own material for five years. He began banging out originals when he accepted a song leader position for a large Dallas church.  He was amazed with the thrill of seeing a simple song idea bloom into something great with a whole congregation singing his creative work during worship.
