This week I am kicking off season 4 talking with my hero, mentor and dear friend Steve Curtis Chapman. Steven is celebrating 35 years in the music industry this year and is celebrating by releasing a brand new album called “Still.” He is the most awarded artist in Christian music history with 49 No. 1 singles, 59 GMA Dove Awards, multiple GRAMMYs and much more. He's also one of the most down-to-earth people you will ever meet. We are discussing our history together, both being from Paducah, KY and his dad Herb Chapman being our guitar teacher and the impact he's had on our lives, following where the music takes you in the songwriting process and struggling to put out new music and feeling relevant in today's culture and his new album “Still” being the result of that struggle. 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. In this episode we discuss: *SCC's autobiography “Between Heaven and the Real World." *The impact that Herb Chapman had on Steven's career as a guitar teacher. *Teaching his son's how to navigate into the music industry. *Follow where the music takes you in the songwriting process. *Deciding which songs will end up on an album. *SCC's brand new album “STILL.” *Struggling to put out new music and feeling relevant in today's culture. *Writing music from a new perspective. *Bloom where you're planted. *www.stevencurtischapman.com BIO: Steven Curtis Chapman has spent the last 35 years writing and performing genre-defining songs that shaped a generation. With a staggering 49 No. 1 singles in his catalog, he is the most awarded artist in Christian music history, winning 59 GMA Dove Awards, five GRAMMY Awards, an American Music Award, and selling more than eleven million albums with ten RIAA-Certified Gold or Platinum albums. In short, he is synonymous with contemporary Christian music. After so much success, some might think recording a new album would be second nature. But for Chapman, starting a new chapter wasn't so easy. The ever-present inner critic whispering “can he do it again?” made him question whether making new music was the right move. He says, “It's a two-edged sword. At some point, you walk in with a bunch of new songs hoping people are ready to hear something new. The hard part is people don't always want that. They want to hear the hits.” But he found he still had stories left to tell. “I finally gave myself permission to say, don't question if this is relevant or where it's gonna fit or will it work in the current landscape of Christian music. I had to silence the voices, sit down with my guitar, and write whatever was stirring in me, let it come out however it came out.” It's Chapman back to his glory days, recalling mega-hits like “The Great Adventure,” “Dive,” and “More To This Life,” but don't mistake familiarity as a re-hash....Still is filled with entirely fresh, life-giving songs for the masses. His gift for writing tear-stained lyrics about serving a God he doesn't always understand but always, always trusts is on full display. Chapman holds nothing back, his full-voiced cries of praise echoing God's faithfulness in days gone by and trust in His mercy for the days ahead. “That's what I'm trying to do with this project,” Chapman says, “remember where I've been and where I'm going.” With lead track “Still,” to “Don't Lose Heart,” “I'm Alive,” “Kindness,” and “A Desperate Benediction (Peace On Earth),” Chapman's willingness to shine a light on his pain, struggles, and faith, but also his joy, redemption, and hope infuses Still with universal goodness.

A gorgeous hook takes flight above handclaps highlighted by a powerful crescendo with timeless grace and palpable energy. Across Easy On My Eyes, Stephen recounts an unbelievable year since his emergence. He wrote nearly all of the songs on the EP himself and teamed up with Jamie Hartman [James Bay, Lewis Capaldi] and Jon Green [Lady A, Little Big Town] on “Hey Girl.” He then worked with producers Ian Fitchuk [Kacey Musgraves, James Bay] and Konrad Snyder [Madi Diaz, Rainbow Kitten Surprise] in Nashville to bring the EP to life in one-take performances. The project illuminates his talent both as a vocalist and a songwriter. Stirring up excitement for the project's arrival, Stephen continued to reach new career highs throughout the summer. “Until I Found You” has amassed nearly 640 million global streams to date across all platforms, is RIAA Certified Gold, just hit #5 at AAA Radio this week, and continues to climb up the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.

COCKY BITCHES, FEATURING MEMBERS OF THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS AND COLD, ARE SET TO RELEASE THEIR NEW VINYL LP TITLED, MERCY, ON NOVEMBER 23, 2018 ON SLOPE RECORDS October 11th, 2018 – Slope Records is proud to announce that Austin, Texas based Cocky Bitches, featuring members of Butthole Surfers and Cold, are releasing their psychedelic blues debut LP, “Mercy” on “Black Friday” aka November 23, 2018. The ten track album has already garnered attention from a notable indie rock legend. “I really love that Cocky Bitches record! I love the barbaric nature of some of the songs. It’s like a cool soundtrack for the end of the world. I dig the production a great deal as well. The plodding nature of some of the songs make this an album you can really let flood over you. A soundtrack for a stalking serial killer or the theme for a psychotic rogue cop. The vocals are a treat as well, way cool! I think it’s one of the best things I’ve heard in quite some time. Excellent work!” – Buzz Osbourne – Melvins Cocky Bitches are Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers, but also the RIAA Diamond certified producer who has worked with Sublime, John Paul Jones, Reverend Horton Heat, U2, Meat Puppets, Daniel Johnston) on guitar, bass, keyboards and programming, along with drummer Sam McCandless (Cold two RIAA Certified Gold and one RIAA Certified Platinum Albums) on drums and vocalist, and lyricist and performance artist, The Baroness. The trio originally formed the band, Carny, in 2004 which later morphed into the Cocky Bitches. In 2017, the band released their debut 7-inch “TV’s Ok” on fetish pink vinyl with Slope Records. On “Mercy,” The Cocky Bitches offer the listener no quarter, no mercy, and no escape. Through the erotic punk vocals of The Baroness, Leary’s rapture invoking psychedelic guitar, and the heavy beats of McCandless, there is a revolutionary swagger and libertine energy that leaves the listener with no safe word as The Cocky Bitches scream, beat, and grunt their way through this extraordinary debut record. Check out: facebook.com/CockyB.tches and thecockybitches.com for more information. The ten tracks on the album are: Side A 1. “The Sex Machine,” 2. “Jump Jane Crow,” 3. “Burn Baby Burn,” 4. “Hand in the Fire,” 5. “Eela Moira” Side B 1. “Free the People,” 2. “Produce Section,” 3. “Humper,” 4. “Rocket,” 5. “Mercy” The Cocky Bitches: Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers): Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Programming Sam McCandless (Cold): Drums Baroness (Lyricist/Performance Artist):

Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #211 with guest Stu GThe 5-star-acclaimed, multi-artist Beatitudes album made its debut on Yahoo! Music and released to digital and physical retailers worldwide from Stugiology Music with management, marketing and distribution through The Fuel Music. The album, which showcases 18 new tracks (plus 2 bonus tracks) from multiple GRAMMY and Dove Award-winning artists, leaders in their respective genres of Christian/Worship music, is called “uplifting and inspiring” by Entertainment Weekly, is featured along with Sheryl Crow, Incubus, Lana Del Rey and others in Apple Music's April 21 newsletter, and is JesusFreakHideout's first 5-star review of 2017. Featured on the cover of the current Christian Musician magazine, and with a CCM Magazine cover story set for this month amidst other features and reviews, the Beatitudes album is part of The Beatitudes Project (www.thebeatitudesproject.com, #TheBeatitudesProject), which is also a book, Words From The Hill (An Invitation to the Unexpected) available now from NavPress, and a documentary film, View From the Hill, currently in production. It is the culmination of GRAMMY-nominated, Dove Award-winning musician, producer and author Stu Garrard's (Stu G) 15-year excavation of these “blessings at the bottom of life.” “The guitarist and songwriter Stu G has spent the last two decades traveling the world to understand how poverty, prostitution, drug addiction, and sex trafficking have afflicted society globally. But he's turned those learning experiences into something uplifting and inspiring,” writes Entertainment Weekly as Yahoo! Music lauds The Beatitudes Project as “inspired by a rock star's two decades of world travel, and his encounters with extreme wealth and even greater poverty – both physical and emotional.” Along his journey, Garrard met amazing, present day peacemakers in Israel and Palestine and writes about their stories in his “Peacemakers—Living in the Contested Space” chapter of Words From The Hill. The stories include those of Robi Damelin, an Israeli living in Tel Aviv whose son was killed by a Palestinian sniper in 2002, Israeli Roni Keidar, who sees rockets made from lampposts fall on her farmland, indiscriminately killing workers who are like family to her, Palestinian Daoud Nassar, a farmer who refuses to be a victim, refuses to hate, refuses to be an enemy, Palestinian Sami Awad, a Christian and founder of Holy Land Trust, and Todd Deatherage of The Telos Group, which works to equip Americans to build a transformative pro-Israeli, pro-Palestinian, pro-peace movement. “We have to walk into the conflicted spaces and face those things and say, ‘no, I'm going to create a new future, and a new story.' That's what peacemaking does,” says Garrard in a video featured on his Facebook page. Can you meet me in the middle where the light don't shineWhere there are no sidesBetween you and ICan you meet me in the middle cos we got to findFind another way(Beatitudes rock anthem “In The Middle” sung by Garrard) In addition to peacemakers, The Beatitudes Project reveals a wide world of connected stories: real people from all faiths and walks of life who embody mercy, poverty, meekness, the hungry and thirsty, the mourners, and the pure in heart—as seen, heard and experienced through a 21st century lens. Video stories behind several of the songs featured on the Beatitudes album are highlighted on Garrard's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/stugworld, including the songs featuring Amy Grant (“Morning Light”), Michael W. Smith (“Carry On”), Martin Smith (“Holy Troublemakers”), Hillsong UNITED (“The View from Here”), Matt Maher with additional vocals by Audrey Assad (“Oh Mercy”), John Mark McMillan (“Heaven Is Around Us”) and Propaganda (“Make A Little Trouble”). In addition to the artists aforementioned, featured on the Beatitudes album are All Sons & Daughters, Amanda Cook, The Brilliance, Anthony Skinner, Terrian Bass and Becky Harding. Collectively, these artists have sold more than 62 million records, won 11 Grammy, 90 Dove Awards and amassed dozens of hit songs and millions of followers on social media. “The Beatitudes Project is meant to be a reset button in a world plagued with violence and division,” says Garrard. “These upside-down Jesus announcements on a hillside by the Sea of Galilee in Matthew 5 where Jews, Greeks, Romans and people of all ethnicities were gathered are a reminder that there is another way.” About Stugiology Music:Stugiology Music is a record label formed by Stu Garrard, who is perhaps best-known as the guitarist / songwriter for the RIAA Certified Gold-selling, GRAMMY-nominated and Dove Award-winning British band Delirious?.
