The final three installments of A SHOW ABOUT ANTHEM LIGHTS, an animated comedy on Pure Flix, take skeptical shots at the Christian music industry and church pastors. In Episode 118, the band goes on a cruise, where they take themselves too seriously. In the next episode, the band attends a Sunday morning worship service and asks the self-absorbed pastor for a favor. Finally, in Episode 120, the band goes to the pastor and their social media publicist to get help with the growing dissension in the band, but they get no help.

It's entirely possible, likely even, that you were introduced to Anthem Lights through one of their medleys or mashups on social media. With close to 8 million followers across all platforms, their passion for creating family friendly entertainment is resonating with so many. The group stops in to share with us about why they have poured so much into these projects and about incorporating mainstream music in along with the Christian songs. If you've noticed that they've been a little quiet lately, it's because they have been focusing on their upcoming album of original music! The song "God Gave Me Freedom" has recently been released to radio, although the guys of Anthem Lights didn't expect it to be their next single. The group shares the story and the life behind the song and about the upcoming project. We couldn't end the episode without talking about influential vocal groups and boy bands. Anthem Lights talks about the groups that were most influential to them being at the spot they are today.  

The first three episodes of A SHOW ABOUT ANTHEM LIGHTS, streaming on Pure Flix, launch a fun animation series with a musical comedy format about the work life of a real-life vocal group known as Anthem Lights. Each episode's plot is about the fears, the pitfalls and the potential victories artists in the music industry wrestle with, day in and day out, all portrayed with humor and song. Challenges like members of the group agreeing on projects and working together against deadlines or reacting to criticism, even hostility, are mixed with lively tunes, lyrics and comical situations.

On today's special bonus episode, we sit down with Anthem Lights. Anthem Lights are known for their mashups, covers and melodic voices, with over a half billion streams on YouTube, and a new show on Pureflix called, ‘A show about Anthem Lights' these guys stay pretty busy!

Deacons have always been a mystery to me – they are married and sometimes have secular jobs outside of their work in the parish but they also help out with a lot of church duties, and even give homilies. Are they closer to lay people or consecrated religious? This episode is the second of my vocational series, where I ask my guests to pick a song relating to their vocational discernment and to answer these seven simple questions: 1. Please introduce yourself and how we got to know each other. 2. Explain your song of choice and how it relates to your discernment. 3. Please explain your vocation in general and what it means to you. 4. How did you discern your vocation in general? Were there any challenges? 5. Why did you pursue your vocation with this diocese/order/person in particular? 6. How has your faith changed since entering this vocation? 7. If you could advise your 18-year-old self about your vocation, what would you say? Listen to me chat with Deacon Mark Neugebauer, whose epic faith journey has included stops at Conservative Judaism, Messianic Judaism, and Evangelical Protestantism on his way home in the Catholic Church. He is currently the Deacon at Blessed Trinity Parish in the Archdiocese of Toronto and formerly worked as an elementary school teacher before being recommended by his parish to become a permanent deacon. The song you heard in the intro was “Wayfaring Stranger”, by The Quebe Sisters and the song Deacon Mark picked was the hymn “It Is Well With My Soul” (I picked the version by Anthem Lights). If you have any friends and family that you think would like this podcast, please share wherever you listen to your podcasts! You can drop a comment or question for me to answer in a future episode at theholycatholicbrew@gmail.com.

 In part 2 of my conversation with Jeremy Quarles, we focus on road managing different bands and artists including his current position with Grammy and Dove Award winner Steven Curtis Chapman as well as the ins and outs of running live sound for shows. Show notes:Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special. To request more info on consulting services, email Marty at contact@johnmartinkeith.com. Talking Points:*What steps did you take to let people know that you wanted to transition into road managing?*I learned a lot about road managing from Francesca Battistelli’s road manager Greg Lee. I watched him road manage her while I was doing production.*When your road managing, there’s nobody to learn from because you’re doing the job. So that time was really instrumental to me because I was able to learn how to best do it.*Greg Lee also worked for Streamlined Event Agency who’s main task is producing tours and they put road managers out on various tours. He was able to offer me a job road managing for some tours, short runs and one offs that the company produced.*I also contacted other road managers that I knew and told them that I was moving into road managing and just letting people know that’s the direction I was heading.*You can’t be afraid to let people know those things and ask for those things.*I took about a year and a half to make the transition completely from a production guy who could road manage to a road manager who could do production.*It’s uncomfortable and it’s hard work.*If you can do anything and be satisfied with your life, then you should probably do something else. But if you can’t, then you know the music industry is for you.*Some artists I’ve worked with: Love and the Outcome, Brandon Heath, Sidewalk Prophets, Mandisa, Aaron Shust, Anthem Lights, Selah, Hawk Nelson.*What does “advancing a show” mean? It’s everything you do leading up to a show. Being in constant contact with the venue. Making sure they’re going to have food for the artists and dressing rooms, green rooms and private restrooms for the band, especially in churches which are not set up to be event venues. And helping the promoter prepare for the artist coming in.*It can also be providing the most updated stage plots and backline rider so they can be as ready as they can be for the band coming in with no surprises.*Then as road manager, I go on the road with the artist to make sure all of those things are actually getting done.*My goal when I’m on the road is to have nothing to do because everything is already done. It’s just managing and making sure the day happens as we have it set up. That way if something comes up, you have the capacity to handle it instead of doing things that should have already been done in advance.*As road manager I am responsible for getting the payment check and making sure it is correct.*I usually email the promoter the week before they are cutting checks to remind them of the amount we agreed to.*A cash buyout is when the promoter gives money to each band and crew member so they can eat out somewhere instead of catering the event. The amount is usually around $15-20 for lunch and $25-30 for dinner per person.*Once a tour was over and I needed more work, I would connect with artist managers and artists I knew which opened doors.*Front of House (FOH) Engineering means running sound for the what the audience hears and you’re out with the audience at a mixing console.*Monitor engineering means running sound for what the band hears on stage either in-ears or floor monitors and you’re working side stage from the band.*What’s the difference in FOH and monitor engineering? For me, I can make 6 people happy easier than 6,000 people. Running monitors is mixing the levels of instruments for each band member in their ears or floor wedges. It’s about making the musician as comfortable as possible so they can play the best they can.*For monitor engineers, simplicity is best. There is a baseline of how things sound good, but if you’re at that baseline, take it simple.*I now work for Steven Curtis Chapman as road manager and production manager.*I got that job after working on a Jason Gray tour and met one of the artists named Lindsay McCaul. Lindsay’s husband Mark Mattingly came to visit who worked for Creative Trust who managed SCC and he did their live events at the time. Over time we started attending Fellowship Bible Church where Lindsay is a worship leader and was able to reconnect with her and Mark. I did some road managing for Mark with other artists as well. Mark is now SCC’s manager and was looking for a dedicated road manger for SCC and Mark called me to see if I would be interested and I said yes.*You meet all of these people along the way and God directs your paths in the way you’re supposed to go.*Day to day tasks as road manager for Steven Curtis Chapman - Advancing shows, communicating with promoters about 4-6 weeks ahead of a show. Looking at the calendar and staying on top of travel, booking flights and making sure we get to where we need to go. Taking care of meal buyouts. Lot’s of communication with the promoters to get ready for the show.*I’m also mixing FOH and monitors for SCC since it’s only him performing on this tour.*I make sure the venue has all the production we need at the venue so it is a smooth day.*When it comes to the sound system at a church, the booking agent will send out a rider that has minimum requirements and they have to sign off on it saying their system meets these requirements or they are planning on bring in an external sound company.*Advice for getting into live audio production or road managing -*Don’t be afraid to say no to things that aren’t going to move you forward to where you want to be.*For audio engineering - contacting local companies if you want to do live sound. They are all over the country and do concerts and all kinds of events that need a sound system. Contact them and tell them you want to work and learn.*Have the spirit to want to learn because you need to learn the business and you need to be the best at it so you can to be able to succeed.*For road managing - Foster relationships and be willing to learn and put yourself out there.*Peach and Pine Home.com - Interior design company my wife and I run. I am the project manager and director of content.*Love Where You Live Podcast - home tip and tricks Jeremy grew up just north of Atlanta, GA and has always had a love for music and an entrepreneurial spirit. In 2008, Jeremy moved from Atlanta to Nashville, where he attended Belmont University to study Audio Engineering and Music. Though many in the program were drawn to the studio, he found himself being drawn toward the road. While finishing school, Jeremy began to work at a local audio company in Nashville, where he started working live events both in Nashville and abroad. Upon graduating, Jeremy worked his way up as an audio contractor working various tours and conferences and eventually started to work for artists mixing FOH and Monitors. While his passion for the music industry was strong, Jeremy’s passion for the production side of live events started to wane. This led to a time of self-discovery, in which he found a new passion – road managing. Over a period of two years, Jeremy began to intentionally transition his focus from being an audio engineer who could road manage to being a road manager who could also mix. In addition to going on the road as a road manager, Jeremy also began advancing for artists he didn’t travel with as an “Advance Manager.” Since starting to work as a Road/Advance Manager, Jeremy has worked for many of the biggest names in Christian music, including: Steven Curtis Chapman (current) Third DayFrancesca Battistelli Brandon HeathMandisa Love & The OutcomeSidewalk Prophets The AftersChristy Nockels Meredith AndrewsJason Gray Aaron ShustAnthem Lights SelahHawk NelsonSince late 2017, Jeremy has been the Road / Production Manager for Steven Curtis Chapman, which is his current position. They just completed over 100 shows on the “SCC Solo Tour.” When Jeremy isn’t on the road, he is working as Project Manager and Director of Content at Peach and Pine Home, the interior design firm he and his wife, Chandler, own and operate. Their newest project is a podcast called “Love Where You Live,” a podcast about all-things interior design and home renovation. Golf is his favorite hobby, and his ideal afternoon includes a round of golf on a mostly sunny, 65 degree day and hanging out with his wife and close friends.

 My friend Keith Everette Smith and I sat down together recently to discuss his rise through the ranks of the music industry to create his own path to success as a producer, artist developer, session player and touring musician working with some of the biggest names in all of music.Show Notes:Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special. To request more info on consulting services, email Marty at contact@johnmartinkeith.com. Talking Points:*Keith plays trumpet, piano, drums, guitar and bass. He also produces music and does artist development.*I started out learning trumpet and drums as a small child and added other instruments along the way.*I started producing music in high school and college for friend’s bands by reading articles in magazines.*Enthusiasm has always led what I’ve done.*I produced an album and did some road managing for college friend Meredith Andrews who is now a well known worship artist.ARTIST DEVLOPMENT*I Enjoyed the aspect Artist Development and helping build a career from the ground up.*I was invited to be on staff as Instrumental Director at Saddleback Church in CA because of a relationship.*I produced the boy band Anthem Lights while at Saddleback Church.*I began artist development for Anthem Lights and got them signed to Provident Music in Nashville. That was my door in to Nashville. Plus, I had already produced other albums independently.*I did not expect to play trumpet when moving to Nashville. I came to Nashville to be a producer.*What does it mean to do Artist Development? Developing your gut, your ability to evaluate talent and people of good character. It’s a very gut level thing in terms of finding people to develop.*The non-negotiable thing for me is finding people with great character.*Fame is a really dangerous thing.*I consider it a great responsibility to make sure I’m helping good people steward success well.*It’s an exercise in taking something great and making it even greater by exaggerating it and making it stand out even more than it already does.*Most people spend their artistic life trying to fit in.*You have to figure out how to join the ranks of those you respect, then how to stand out from them.*The way you win at artist development is exaggerate what makes them great.*Sometimes you can take a negative thing about an artist and turn it into a positive.*Limitations are wonderful breeding grounds for opportunity and success.*Comparison can be very important or detrimental.*What are day to day attributes of being an artist developer? It’s making sure the music is great, making sure the artist is on social media and streaming services, helping an artist figure out who they are and what makes them unique, who they are as a person.*Keith’s wife Tasha Layton is an artist and vocal coach and she says “you grow as a singer as you grow as a person.”*What do you (artist) care about? Are you believable? Is your message trustworthy. That’s why an audience will listen to you.*I am looking for inconsistencies in the message all day long.*There is much about artist development and producing an artist that is simply psychology.*Labels want to know: Can I sell it? Do people want it? Can I make money off of it?*You have to be careful with your own artistic integrity.*I’m trying to develop the artist into something that is appealing and consistent enough to be a good investment for the record label.*You are doing whatever it take to be able to present the artist the way they need to be presented to labels, publishers, managers, etc.*Social Proofing - building an artists career enough to prove to the labels that they are worth signing and investing in because other people have already proven that they like this artist. So you can trust that if you decide to sign this artist, it’s worth it because the masses already like it.PLAYING FOR, PRODUCING AND ARRANGING FOR ARTISTS*For most of us, doing multiple things in music is what let’s us make a living at it.*You can’t be average. You have to be exceptional at 2 or 3 things and let what your average at fill in the gaps when there is time.*My career has consisted of producing, songwriting, horn playing, arranging, vocal editing for big producers and artists.*My horn playing and arranging is what gets me in the room with the biggest clients.*Have something unique to bring.*Your consistency is so important.*Showing up everyday, being easy to work with, doing a great job, meeting people who are working on small projects and build those relationships so as they build up to bigger projects, you can be someone they call on.*A friend I knew when I was on staff at Saddleback Church in CA worked on Disney projects and called me to work on The Jonas Brothers.*I ran into a friend on the street in Nashville who knew I played horns and he asked if I could play horns on a project and it turned out to be Jack White.*If people think you are trying to use them to make the next connection, they will stiff arm that and not want to work with you.*Be eager but it let it come to you.*You are always serving people. Go beyond their expectations. Don’t ask for anything in return.*Don’t do anything for free. That devalues you.*Develop a strategy of how you tell people how much you are worth.*Get to know about the local Musicians Union and find out what the standard rates are for recording.*Spend the money on a great vocal mic.PLAYING FOR TOBY MAC*A horn player I used to play with in the band Denver and Mile High Orchestra was playing for Toby’s albums and he called me to play on a song. That guy moved away and he referred Toby to call me for the next album.*Then Toby asked me about playing other instruments and asked me to come play in the road as a utility player (multiple instruments).*You have to run the business of your career.*Know the realm of the business you are working in.*Practical advice for people getting into this business:*Ask someone you trust what you are doing wrong.*Ask for help to make weaknesses strong.*Not everyone’s supposed to do this the way they thought. Maybe you need to be in a different part of the industry.*It’s not worth sacrificing your family.*If you don’t love it, do something else.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5583THE SONG: SPETTACOLARE FILM SUL MATRIMONIO di don Stefano BimbiThe Song è un film americano del 2014 che in Italia purtroppo non ha avuto il risalto che meritava nonostante sia un ottimo prodotto. Narra la storia di David King, famoso cantante country, che aveva peccato di adulterio con la moglie di un amico. Dopo il suicidio di quest'ultimo cerca di rimediare al suo errore rifacendosi una vita e sposando la sua donna... La sacralità del vincolo matrimoniale è il tema principale di tutto il film.Jed King è suo figlio, che cerca di seguire le orme del padre nella musica e sembra non riuscire a sfondare... almeno finché non accetta di cantare in un vigneto durante una festa di paese dove incontra Rose, la figlia del proprietario della vigna. Jed si innamora immediatamente e in seguito i due si sposano. Il suo talento sboccia, scrive finalmente canzoni sue, ispirate dal suo amore per la moglie, e in poco tempo gli si apre la porta del successo. Ma sarà proprio la sua popolarità che rischierà di fargli perdere tutto quello che è invece importante nella vita.LA COSTRUZIONE DEL TEMPIOLa trama del film contiene un fitto intreccio di simboli e richiami alla Parola di Dio. L'intero racconto si intreccia infatti con i brani del Cantico dei Cantici, del Qoelet, libri attribuiti a re Salomone di cui il protagonista del film ricalca le orme. Infatti, Salomone, prima di essere re, si chiama Jedidja, da cui il diminutivo Jed.Salomone è figlio del re David, come Jed di David King. Sia Salomone che Jed sono poeti e cantori della gloria di Dio (Salomone e soprattutto suo padre David hanno composto la gran parte dei salmi contenuti nella Bibbia, canti al Dio altissimo). Re Salomone costruisce finalmente un tempio al Dio degli ebrei che suo padre Davide avrebbe voluto fare, ma non fu in grado. Anche Jed costruisce un "tempio", in pratica una piccola cappella nella vigna dove poi si sposerà con Rose.Interessante il tema della vigna che nella Bibbia è un potente simbolo del popolo di Israele e che Gesù riprenderà in un'importante parabola per mostrare che il proprietario della vigna è suo Padre. Inoltre la costruzione della cappella nel film diventerà un costante parallelo con la vita matrimoniale. Per il matrimonio la cappella ha appena la struttura esterna, ma necessita di essere completata durante la vita. Con alti e bassi, Jed arriverà anche a distruggerne una parte al termine di una litigata con la moglie, ma alla fine la cappella viene completata con pareti imbiancate e la croce sulla facciata. Evidente il simbolo da applicare alla vita sponsale: il giorno del matrimonio la costruzione della vita a due è appena iniziata e, tra alti e bassi, la vita matrimoniale va costruita giorno per giorno con fatica, impegno e soprattutto perdono reciproco.CHIEDERE A DIO LA SAGGEZZASe qualcuno non fosse ancora convinto del parallelo tra il protagonista del film e Salomone basta dire che a metà della storia Jed, incalzato dalla fidanzata a chiedere un dono a Dio, fa una preghiera per ricevere la sapienza.Ma come fu per il grande Salomone, la sapienza non sarà sufficiente a preservare Jed dal peccato. Infatti, il successo tiene Jed lontano da casa per lunghi periodi, durante i quali la mancanza di comunicazione e di intimità tra lui e la moglie Rose diventa difficile da gestire. Jed si sente chiamato con le sue canzoni a dare qualcosa ai suoi fan e non coglie il pericolo nel mettere al primo posto il lavoro.Dal canto suo Rose è troppo legata alla casa paterna e non segue il marito proprio quando lui è più debole ed esposto alla tentazione. Così Jed, dopo essere stato messo alla prova per mesi e mesi, alla fine cede alle avances di Shelby Bale, una giovane musicista dallo spirito libero, con cui Jed condivide un tour. E la situazione, che era stata in bilico per mesi, finisce per precipitare.La narrazione fa cogliere nettamente questo salto: il tempo che prima scorre lento, diventa all'improvviso vorticoso, come la vita di Jed che sembra un aereo in avvitamento verso il basso.I riferimenti alla Bibbia sono continui: i versetti scandiscono il ritmo della narrazione. Senza forzature, la sapienza biblica sottolinea i passaggi della vicenda ed evidenzia la normalità, quasi la banalità, della tentazione e della presunzione di poter essere più forti del male.Jed rischierà di perdere non solo la sua famiglia, ma anche se stesso. Nel film non manca il lieto fine, che evidenzia la fatica del perdono e della redenzione. Non si tratta di un semplice "vissero felici e contenti", ma soltanto un nuovo inizio... una strada mai in discesa, perché è la strada della vita di ciascuno su questa terra.Jed, il protagonista, è interpretato da Alan Powell della rock band cristiana Anthem Lights e la musica è senza dubbio una parte importante della sceneggiatura. Giustamente la versione italiana del dvd mette i sottotitoli alle canzoni per sottolinearne l'importanza ai fini della trama.Nel film la narrazione è avvincente e appassiona. Numerosi temi secondari, come i tatuaggi, l'alcol e la droga, rendono interessante il film. Inoltre, i dialoghi e soprattutto la voce narrante attraverso il testo biblico danno una profondità importante, un senso di immedesimazione che lascia il segno. Insomma un film da non perdere e da utilizzare anche come spunto di discussione in famiglia e con gli amici.
