This All That's Jazz episode is a conversation with three diverse and virtuosic musical masters - renowned saxophonist Jeff Coffin, venerated drummer Jordan Perlson and bass legend Viktor Krauss - have joined together  for a nine-track debut of all original music that's been described as “a thrilling sonic odyssey that showcases undeniable musicianship and boundless artistic expression.”   Coffin, Perlson and Krauss first started playing together in 2020. The connection between them was evident instantly. During the pandemic, the three Nashville based musicians formed a social pod, and made playing together a regularity as long as they were safe to do so. Using this unexpected time, the trio decided to record at Krauss' home studio to officially document this special collaboration, eventually settling on seven compositions and two solo works.  The result is their first album as a trio, self- titled ‘Coffin /Perlson/Krauss. 

Interview with guitarist Mike Baggetta on his new album with mssv mssv is releasing their second studio album Human Reaction in their typical style: with a 58-show tour in the U.S. and parts of Canada (dates below). The band, composed of guitarist Mike Baggetta, Stephen Hodges (Tom Waits, David Lynch) on drums and avant-punk icon mike watton bass, creates music that is a heretofore unimagined hybrid of a punk power-trio and a dreamy experimental rock band, though they prefer the term “post-genre.” Human Reaction is being released by BIG EGO Records as a digital download, 12” LP vinyl, and via streaming platformson September 1. Recorded mostly on May Day immediately following that last tour, Human Reaction traverses a deeply broad sonic landscape, as expected from this nearly unclassifiable group, though with even deeper twists and turns. With inventively churning drum textures from Hodges (an instantly identifiable sound honed in his days with Tom Waits and David Lynch) and the full-steam-ahead all-in attitude from watt, (as he's displayed throughout his storied career with MINUTEMEN, fIREHOSE, and Iggy & The Stooges), there is still the impression of “pressure, combustion,power, and hissing clouds of sonic poetry,” as Premier Guitar said. Also evident is the more fearless exploring that comes from a band that has spent a lot of time together crafting their vision, as well as making room for guests like J Mascis, Petra Haden and Nels Cline on some of their previous releases. Baggetta has had the pleasure of working all over the world with a wide range of visionary musicians across many generations, including David Torn, Jim Keltner, Nels Cline, Psychic Temple, Jeff Coffin, Henry Kaiser, Petra Haden, Rev. Fred Lane, Donny McCaslin, Darcy James Argue's Secret Society, Joseph C. Philips' Numinous, Imani Uzuri, Viktor Krauss, David Wax Museum, Julian Lage, Jon Irabagon, Jerome Harris, Tom Harrell, Eivind Opsvik, Jeremy Udden,and Ruth Brown among many others. mikebaggetta.com https://mainsteamstopvalve.com Tickets to OCT 7th mssv at Beachland Tavern Cleveland OH https://www.beachlandballroom.com/e/13205278/mssv-c-level/  

This Quoircast episode is brought to you by Deadly Faith Podcast: a true crime podcast that explores the world where religion and crime collide.In this episode we chat with Jennifer KnappJennifer Knapp is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, author, speaker and advocate. Her impressive history includes selling over one million albums with her first three releases Kansas (debut 1998, Gold-certified), Lay It Down (2000), and The Way I Am (2001). She has earned four Dove Awards and two Grammy nominations. The Kansas-born musician has toured the globe with artists such as Jars of Clay and was featured on the Lilith Fair Tour in 1999 and 2010. Knapp received critical acclaim for her human approach to the divine, with The Los Angeles Times calling her “a rising star” and People Magazine describing her as “an uncommonly literate songwriter.” With a considerable fan base and critical and commercial success, Knapp walked away from music in 2002 at the height of her career. After a seven-year hiatus she returned in 2010 with a renewed passion for music showcased in her album Letting Go, which debuted at No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 200 Chart. Set Me Free followed in 2014 on Righteous Babe Records in conjunction with a memoir, Facing the Music: My Story, published by Simon & Schuster. Her 2017 album Love Comes Back Around, produced by Viktor Krauss, pairs her fearless songwriting and strong, expressive voice with Americana style rootsy arrangements. As the first major artist in the Christian music world to speak openly about LGBTQ identity, her unique position created opportunities for national dialogue, including appearances on Larry King Live and the TEDx stage. In 2012 Knapp founded the non-profit organization Inside Out Faith, through which she continues to speak and perform nationally as an advocate for LGBTQ & faith issues.You can follow Jennifer on:Facebook     Twitter     Instagram     TikTok     YouTubeYou can find all things Jennifer Knapp related on her websiteYou can purchase Jennifer's book Facing the Music and her music at her online storeYou can connect with This Is Not Church on:Facebook     Instagram      Twitter     TikTok     YouTubeAlso check out our Linktree for all things This Is Not Church relatedPlease like and follow our Quoircast Partners:Heretic Happy Hour     Messy Spirituality     Apostates Anonymous    Second Cup with Keith     The Church Needs TherapyIdeas Digest     The New Evangelicals     Snarky Faith Podcast     Wild Olive     Deadly FaithJonathan Foster     Sacred Thoughts     Holy Heretics     Reframing Our StoriesEach episode of This Is Not Church Podcast is expertly engineered by our producer The Podcast Doctor Eric Howell.

Fourteen years after their Grammy-winning debut, Raising Sand, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss followed up with Raise the Roof—which was nominated for three more Grammys. Now on tour, the duo also has a new band that includes bassist Viktor Krauss, guitarist JD McPherson, and utility player Stuart Duncan. But before they hit the road, Krause, Duncan, and McPherson—and their techs Paul Ackling and Kevin Devogel— invited the PG team to a rehearsal at Soundcheck Nashville for a look behind the gear curtain. Here's a sampling of what our team of John Bohlinger, Chris Kies, and Perry Bean saw. Watch the Rundown for the whole picture.Brought to you by D'Addario XPND Pedalboard.

Bassist/songwriter/producer/composer Viktor Krauss has a resume that is noteworthy both for its quality and its quantity.  He's had long tenures with artists as dissimilar as Lyle Lovett and Bill Frisell, toured as part of the recent Robert Plant & Alison Krauss "Raise the Roof" tour, and has a handful of fascinating solo releases.  We were thrilled to have him on the show!      Craft Brewed Music® The music discovery app that streams music for serious listeners. http://www.craftbrewedmusic.com   The Craft Brewed Music Podcast Music interviews for serious listeners.

Mike's singular and very personal musical style seeks to blur the lines between song and solo, while connecting a wide range of musical genres that influence him. The press says this approach is “…beguilingly atmospheric…” (Time Out New York) and that “Baggetta's music is quietly transgressive… Even when he plays a lot of notes, his playing can sound almost static, as though ideas were being snagged out of thin air.” (Hartford Courant)   Baggetta's most recent release is the album Everywhen We Go, his second album with drummer Jim Keltner and bassist Mike Watt on the BIG EGO label. He also leads the band mssv, is a post-genre power trio featuring the iconoclastic rhythm team of drummer Stephen Hodges and bassist Mike Watt. They have just released their self-titled debut studio album, Main Steam Stop Valve, on BIG EGO Records, following up 2020's Live Flowers album on Striped Light Records, recorded live in Philadelphia, PA and Northampton, MA (with special guest J Mascis), as well as 3 limited edition 7” releases recorded solely over quarantine, featuring guest artists Petra Haden and Nels Cline. After completing their first full US tour in spring 2022 mssv recorded their second full length album for release next year. This band grew out of Baggetta's first album for BIG EGO, Wall of Flowers, which featured a reimagining of his music alongside bassist Mike Watt and drummer Jim Keltner.  Baggetta has had the pleasure to work all over the world with a wide range of visionary musicians across many generations including David Torn, Jim Keltner, Mike Watt, Nels Cline, Psychic Temple, Jeff Coffin, Henry Kaiser, Petra Haden, Rev. Fred Lane, Donny McCaslin, Darcy James Argue's Secret Society, Joseph C. Philips' Numinous, Imani Uzuri, Viktor Krauss, David Wax Museum, Julian Lage, Jon Irabagon, Jerome Harris, Tom Harrell, Eivind Opsvik, Jeremy Udden, and Ruth Brown among many others.

This week on the show is the great mandolin player, singer and songwriter Sierra Hull. Sierra is a monster player, and while she's still really young, she's been making records of her own for over 15 years now. The latest one, called “25 Trips” came out right around the pandemic, so her touring was curtailed for a while, but she's back at it now in full force, playing with her band and also with Cory Wong and Bela Fleck, being a major part of Bela's “My Bluegrass Heart” album and shows earlier this year. I was really interested in talking to her about that because I can't imagine how crazy that must be to be sitting in a room full of your heros that you grew up listening to and learning from and suddenly they're your peers and you're right in the mix with all of them. In the bluegrass world, that project doesn't get any heavier - Jerry Douglas, Bryan Sutton, Sam Bush, Chris Thile, Noam Pikelny, Stuart Duncan, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle - they're all involved, and it's a great album. Sierra has made some great solo albums with Allison Krauss and Bela Fleck producing, and on the latest one, “25 Trips”, she's co-producing with a killer engineer named Shani Gandhi. It's definitely rooted in bluegrass, but steps out into some more experimental territory as well with some innovative sounds and production ideas. The crew on this album includes Justin Moses, Viktor Krauss, Bryan Sutton, Paul Franklin, Jano Rix and lots more. So we got to talk about how she approaches making music, and all about how she prepares as a side-person for some of the heavy gigs she's involved in these days.Sierra is constantly out on tour and you can keep up with what she's doing and where to see her at: sierrahull.comListen to the accompanying playlist for this episode here, which features the artist's own music, plus many of the songs that were discussed during the show.This episode is brought to you by Izotope - check out their amazing recording software at: www.izotope.comThanks for your support, and your fearless host, Steve Dawson can be found at: www.stevedawson.ca

Viktor Krauss is an accomplished musician with several solo albums as well as being a long time member of Lyle Lovett's Large Band. He's also played on records by Dolly Parton, Natalie Merchant, Sarah Jarosz and many, many more. Right now, Viktor is on the road touring with Robert Plant and his sister Alison Krauss. Viktor tells me about recording and touring with Robert and Alison and what he's been enjoying while being on the road, like some deep dish pizza in Chicago. Plus, we do a dive into the Mellotron and Led Zeppelin's movie "The Song Remains the Same."

Viktor Krauss joins me on the show this week. Viktor has been in Nashville for many years, but originally hails from Illinois. Viktor is one of the most recognizable players of the upright bass around and has developed a signature sound that is both massive and somehow understated at the same time. I first came to be aware of Viktor through an incredible string of albums with Bill Frisell, starting with the “Nashville” album, but have come to know his extensive body of work which includes stints with his sister Allison Krauss, and a long-standing gig in Lyle Lovett's band. Enjoy, share the episode, and don't forget to leave us a review, and subscribe to the show.

From the 1940s to the 1960s, Eva Garza’s voice could be heard singing Mexican rancheras throughout Latin America. Though her story and music is largely forgotten today, her genes live on: Garza's great-niece is the Texas singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez. In 2016, she released Lola, a bi-lingual record that combines her own Americana sound with the echoes of her family’s musical heritage, courtesy of a crack band led by Luke Jacobs that includes guest guitar polymaths Bill Frisell and David Pulkingham, bassist Viktor Krauss, and others. Carrie Rodriguez plays music from Lola, in-studio.  

Con la misma fascinación con la que Bill Frisell descubrió la historia de Mike Disfarmer, redescubrimos nosotros "Disfarmer", proyecto publicado en 2009 por el guitarrista en el que trató de trasladar en música la vida de este peculiar fotógrafo que cambió su apellido familiar para marcar distancias con las labores agrícolas de su familia. El guitarrista y mandolinista Greg Leisz, la violinista Jenny Scheinman y el contrabajista Viktor Krauss le acompañaron en este viaje por el sur de Estados Unidos. Para John Scofield, el bajista Steve Swallow sigue siendo "un mentor". Llevan tocando juntos más de 40 años y ahora el guitarrista dedica un trabajo a su repertorio, que grabaron en un mediodía con el método de "la vieja escuela". En "Swallow tales" lo comparten con el baterista Bill Stewart. Dice el cineasta Werner Herzog que "lo que ha sido extraño se convierte en algo familiar. Y lo que ha sido familiar adquiere la aureola del misterio". Es su descripción de la música de un trío que le es muy familiar: el conformado por el chelista Ernst Reijseger (autor de varias de sus bandas sonoras), el pianista Harmen Fraanje y el cantante Mola Sylla.

Va a ser difícil recuperarnos de la pérdida de John Prine, a quien ayer dedicamos nuestro programa. Su muerte ha dejado huérfana a la comunidad de la Americana music. No hace mucho, Jason Isbell realizaba esta interpretación acústica de "Hello in There", una canción perteneciente al disco de debut del mítico artista de Illinois allá por 1971. Esa canción surgió a partir de “Across The Universe” de John Lennon y se convirtió en una reflexión conmovedora sobre el envejecimiento. La versión de Jason isbell ha formado parte del recopilatorio Music Moments de la Asociación del Alzheimer, un proyecto en el que los artistas abordan canciones que aprecian a nivel emocional. Old Crow Medicine Show ha querido enviar un mensaje positivo con una nueva canción, "Nashville Rising", compuesta por su líder Ketch Secor poco después del tornado que devastó la capital de Tennessee el pasado 3 de marzo. Poco antes de que las medidas para combatir el coronavirus lo impidieran, el grupo se reunió con invitados tan especiales como Molly Tuttle, Shelly Colvin y Skylar Wilson, en el estudio que el grupo tiene en East Nashville para grabar todos juntos "Nashville Rising", cuyos ingresos serán donados al Fondo de Respuesta a Emergencias de la Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. El nuevo álbum de Ashley McBryde, Never Will, supone el cuarto de la carrera de esta nativa de Waldron, Arkansas, que tras autoeditarse un álbum de debut en 2007 se trasladó a Nashville para buscar su lugar en la escena de la Country music. Tras una segundo álbum, fue una canción como "A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega" la que llamó la atención de todos nosotros hace tres años y nos hizo profundizar en sus composiciones. El productor Jay Joyce se puso a su lado y un trabajo como Going Going Nowhere la hizo despegar definitivamente. Después de una curiosa serie de singles y vídeos que anticiparon su nuevo registro, “Velvet Red” se convierte en su tema más enraizado. 25 Trips es el quinto álbum de Sierra Hull, una de las más sólidas representantes del bluegrass hecho por mujeres y una de las mandolinistas más consideradas del género. Esta jovencísima nativa de Byrdstown, en Tennessee, ha dado un paso más en su nueva grabación, incluyendo elementos a los que no había recurrido en sus grabaciones anteriores, como es la utilización de la batería y la electrificación de la guitarra y la mandolina. Eso supone un cierto toque aperturista dentro de un estilo no demasiado proclive precisamente a reflexionar en ese sentido. El disco vuelve a ser una delicia sonora a la que han sido invitados su propio marido, Justin Moses, junto a instrumentistas del prestigio de Stuart Duncan, Bryan Sutton y Viktor Krauss que en temas como “Poison”, compuesto junto a la virginiana Laura Leigh Jones, recuperan la frescura y naturalidad de tocar en vivo con una sincronización perfecta. También hemos viajado hasta Montana, donde se crió Tessy Lou Williams rodeada de un ambiente musical que comenzó en la banda familar, Montana Rose, que iniciaron sus padres. Esas son las raíces que la llevaron a Austin y posteriormente a Nashville, donde ahora publicará su disco de debut, de título homónimo, marcado por la tradición y con el apoyo de Ashley Campbell, Brennen Leigh, Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle, Jon Randall y algunos otros. "Mountain Time in Memphis", es una canción que describe a la perfección la situación de una mujer con una nueva vida en Tennessee pero que dejó el amor en Montana. En la composición ha intervenido Jerry Salley, su primer contacto en Music City y con quién empezó a escribir canciones. Frente a la imagen poco real que suele dibujar la industria de Nashville, cada vez encontramos más “forajidas” que contraponer su respeto y cariño por la tradición musical. Este es el caso de Jess Jocoy, que acaba de lanzar su primer álbum, Such A Long Way, como continuación de su debut de 2018 con el EP New Heart/Old Soul. La artista del sur de Seattle, en el estado de Washington, llegó a Nashville para convertir su esperanza de compartir sus experiencias y su propia visión de la realidad y así lo manifiesta en canciones como "The Ballad of Two Lovers", que trata sobre cuando a una relación de tiempo le quitas el romanticismo de estar enamorado. Es una especie de conmovedor homenaje a la disfunción del amor, y muestra que se puede salir de una situación tan triste. Eilen Jewell es una mujer inquieta a la que un periodo de cuarentena no la la detiene, de tal forma que ha recuperado uno de los grandes clásicos de la country music como “A Satisfied Man” para sacarlo a la luz aprovechando estas fechas de Pascua. Eilen solía tocarla con su grupo The Sacred Shakers, su grupo de góspel, aunque no es un tema religioso. La grabó en el Audio Lab de Garden City, en Idaho, con los otros tres miembros de su banda, su marido Jason Beek, Matt Murphy y Jerry Miller. Red Hays, que había compuesto “A Satisfied Man” junto a Jack Rhodes, la grabó por primera vez en 1954. Al año siguiente, Porter Wagoner la llevó al No. 1 de las listas de country y los Byrds la versionaron magistralmente en su segundo álbum Turn, Turn, Turn de 1965. 2020 es año bisiesto y se está haciendo notar en su aspecto más negativo. A la trágica pandemia se ha unido la muerte de otros músicos por diferentes causas, como ha sido el caso de Bill Withers, que moría por problemas cardíacos el pasado día 30 de marzo. Joan Osborne, una cantautora que nunca ha dejado de sorprendernos dando clases magistrales de cómo interpretar temas de cualquier estilo musical, desde el country al rhythm and blues. La artista, originaria de Anchorage, un suburbio de Louisville, en Kentucky, se marchó a Nueva York en los 80 y desde entonces ha venido desarrollando una actividad musical encomiable. Breakfast In Bed fue su trabajo de hace 13 años, donde repasaba algunos de los mayores éxitos del rhythm and blue en los últimos 60 y primeros 70. Ese es el caso de “Ain’t No Sunshine”, la canción más popular para Bill Withers, que la incluyó en Just As I Am, su álbum de debut en 1971. Se trata de una canción de desamor atemporal, en la que se canta a un mundo desprovisto de amor y de luz. Y todo en escasamente tres minutos. Una obra maestra. Bill Whiters nos dejó impecables muestras de su poderío como compositor e intérprete en sus años de carrera. Ahí está, por ejemplo, “Lean On Me”, un majestuoso apunte de nostalgia de ese músico, ahora desaparecido, procedente de la zona minera de West Virginia que en 1972 alcanzaba la cima de las listas de soul y pop en Estados Unidos en la voz de su propio compositor. Por otro lado, Eric Bibb es un neoyorquino cuya familia tiene puntos de encuentro con el Modern Jazz Quartet, Pete Seeger, Odetta o Paul Robeson, y que posee la rara habilidad de fusionar el blues tradicional con sonidos más contemporáneos gracias a una extraordinaria versatilidad. Junto a Maria Muldaur y Rory Block nos dejó esta versión impagable de aquel clásico de hace más de cuatro décadas que ahora vuelve a estar más presente que nunca. “Lean On Me” (Apóyate en mí) fue el primer single del segundo álbum de Bill Withers, Still Bill, en 1972, pero la inspiración vino de muchos años antes. Fue la camaradería de su ciudad natal, una comunidad minera de carbón en West Virginia, la que le llevó a componerla sentado al piano en Los Ángeles, a más de 2.500 millas de distancia. Early Morning Rain supondrá el primero de mayo el más reciente trabajo de Steve Forbert, un álbum que también bucea en canciones que están escritas en las páginas más brillantes de la historia de la música popular de raíces norteamericanas. Es un reconocimiento entrañable y formal a lo que representan por sí mismas 11 de sus canciones favoritas de las que tan solo una está compuesta después de 1973. Entre las seleccionadas está "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues", que fue grabada por primera vez en 1967 por su creador, Danny O’Keefe, un cantante y compositor de Spokane, en el estado de Washington, que no la sacó a la luz hasta 1971 cuando publicó el primero de sus álbumes y que volvió a grabar para el segundo. Ha tenido infinidad de lecturas posteriores y entre las más cercanas en el tiempo recordamos las de Charley Crockett en 2018 y Ronnie Dunn en este mismo año. Midland concluyó su Electric Rodeo Tour en la primavera del pasado año con una sonada actuación en el Ryman Auditorium. El trío tejano de Dripping Springs estaba probando las canciones de su último álbum de estudio, Let It Roll, que publicaría en verano, y al que ha continuado una grabación en directo realizada en el legendario The Palomino de Los Angeles a comienzos de este año. Desde sus inicios, Midland procuraron equilibrar su devoción por las inclinaciones más neo-tradicionalistas del George Strait de los 80 con la riqueza armónica de de la dorada California de la década anterior que entronizó a los Eagles. La banda alterna sus canciones más reconocidas con algunas versiones que abarcan una extensa gama de posibilidades y que permiten escuchar canciones de John Denver, ZZ Top, Allman Brothers o Tom Petty. Incluso tuvieron tiempo de entrar en el estudio para grabar una sesión exclusiva para Amazon que dejó esta revisión de “Wicked Game”, que Chris Isaak, que subió al escenario con ellos en una de sus presentaciones en suelo californiano, firmó para su álbum de 1989 Heart Shaped World, convirtiéndose en un éxito absoluto cuando formó parte de la banda sonora de la película de David Lynch Wild at Heart –Corazón salvaje- al año siguiente.

In this week’s episode, I have the extreme honor of sitting down with singer songwriter and Kansas native, Jennifer Knapp. We talk about her coming out process and the choice to return to the public eye after years “underground.” We also talk about her adventures in self-discovery and how the Enneagram can help! Here’s more about Jennifer: Jennifer Knapp is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, author, and advocate. Her impressive history includes selling over one million albums with her first three releases Kansas (debut 1998, Gold-certified), Lay It Down (2000), and The Way I Am (2001). She has earned four Dove Awards and two Grammy nominations. The Kansas-born musician has toured the globe with artists such as Jars of Clay and was featured on the Lilith Fair Tour in 1999 and again in 2010. Knapp has received critical acclaim for her human approach to the divine, with the Los Angeles Times calling her "a rising star" and People Magazine describing her as "an uncommonly literate songwriter." With a considerable fan base and critical and commercial successes, Knapp walked away from music in 2002 at the height of her career. After a seven-year hiatus she returned in 2010 with a renewed passion for music showcased in her album Letting Go, which debuted at No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 200 Chart. Set Me Free followed in 2014 on Righteous Babe Records in conjunction with a memoir, Facing the Music: My Story, on Howard Books/Simon & Schuster. Her 2017 album Love Comes Back Around, produced by Viktor Krauss, pairs her fearless songwriting and strong, expressive voice with rootsy arrangements. As the first major artist known by the Christian music world to speak openly about LGBT identity, her unique position has created opportunities for dialogue at churches and universities through her organization Inside Out Faith and on the TEDx stage at University of Nevada. A true Renaissance woman, Knapp recently completed a master's degree in theological studies from Vanderbilt Divinity School. Connect with Jennifer Here:  www.jenniferknapp.com   And look!

Anyone remotely plugged into 90’s contemporary Christian music has probably heard of Jennifer Knapp. This week Jeff has a wonderful conversation with her about everything from early years in the Christian music industry to her current music and work with LGBTQ people of faith. MORE ABOUT JENNIFER KNAPP’S NEW ALBUM Jennifer Knapp has experienced enough chaos and turmoil in her life that she could write about it on every album. Instead, she made Love Comes Back Around, a collection of songs that focus on what really matters. Funded through a PledgeMusic campaign and produced by Viktor Krauss, Knapp’s latest features 10 compelling new tunes exploring love — but not the easy kind. These are love songs for grown-ups who have come a few miles. “It’s not just sex, it’s not just physical relationships,” Knapp says. “It’s hard work. It’s loss, it’s forgiveness, it’s a lot of things wrapped up in one.” Love Comes Back Around pairs her fearless songwriting and strong, expressive voice with rootsy arrangements: there’s growling guitar and a snakey beat on opener “Straight Road,” subtle horns layered into the background on “Perfect Pardon” and the mournful interplay of piano and acoustic guitar on “Roll Over Me.” Knapp’s vocals are the centerpiece of the title track, which she says is “a look at the mundane things in our lives, between who makes the bed and who doesn’t, and what makes you miss your partner when she’s gone.” In other words, the real stuff. Knapp knows plenty about that. Love Comes Back Around is her sixth album in a music career with two distinct sections. After releasing three contemporary Christian albums in the late ’90s and early 2000s, she took a long break from music and moved to Australia before resuming her career in 2009. The following year, she came out as gay and released Letting Go, her first mainstream album. Set Me Free followed in 2014, in conjunction with a memoir, Facing the Music: My Story. “At this point in my life, I’ve been in a relationship for well over a decade, I’ve had a public controversy and had to weather the storm over my sexual orientation in public, I’ve had to deal with what my faith does or doesn’t mean to my music,” Knapp says. After all that, she was ready to focus on something else. “I started thinking about a universal approach to what love is, and not just the sappy part.” Knapp’s return to music included moving back to Nashville, where she was based earlier in her career. “I’ve experienced Nashville in two ways,” she says. “At the heart of my stardom, so to speak, when things were really busy and I toured a lot, the irony was that even though I made my home here and worked professionally here, I wasn’t home enough to enjoy the camaraderie.” This time around, she’s home enough to have become part of a creative community. That’s how she connected with Krauss: friends of Knapp’s who knew the producer’s work recommended him. After Knapp listened, she invited Krauss out for ice cream and asked him to work with her on Love Comes Back Around. “If you don’t deliver music that creates the emotional space to dive into the lyrics, a lot of the subtlety is lost, and Viktor really understands that,” Knapp says. “He’s seen everything and played with everybody and has all these phone numbers, but he’s actually really humble and sincere, and that allows an artist like me to have confidence in my own work.” When she’s not occupied with music, or doing advocacy work on behalf of LGBTQ people of faith through her Inside Out Faith organization, Knapp is working on a master’s degree in theological studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School. It’s not what she thought she’d be doing now when she was a young singer first starting out, but life has a way of carving its own unexpected path — and so does love. “There’s something beautiful in all of that,” Knapp says. “That’s why we call it love. And if it weren’t hard sometimes, we wouldn’t appreciate the beauty. And if it weren’t beautiful, we wouldn’t be willing to keep going through the hard parts.” RELEVANT LINKS Jennifer Knapp (Musician, Activist) Reaching Out by Henri Nouwen (Book - Amazon Affiliate Link) Inside Out Faith (Non-Profit Organization) Jennifer Knapp Discography Kansas (1998 Album) Lay It Down (2000 Album) The Way I Am (2001 Album) The Collection (2003 Album) Jennifer Knapp Live (2006 Album) Evolving EP (2009 EP) Let it Go (2010 Album) The Hymns of Christmas (2012 Album with Margaret Becker) Set Me Free (2014 Album) Love Comes Back Around (2017 Album)   YOUR SUPPORT Thank you for listening to Irenicast.  If you appreciate the show please consider sharing your appreciation by rating, reviewing and/or subscribing to the podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, or whatever platform you’re listening on.

Producer Lee Townsend is my guest on the show this week. Lee is a producer in the truest sense of the word. He’s not a performing musician, never has been, but has always been deeply into music and he brings a philosophy and easy going nature to sessions that make people rally around and perform their best. Lee is best known for his decades-long relationship in the studio and as manager for Bill Frisell, with whom he has made many records, earned Grammy Awards and countless other accolades, but he has also made some amazing records for artists as diverse as Dave Holland, Viktor Krauss, John Scofield, Charlie Hunter, Louden Wainwright, Carrie Rodriguez, and many more. He is an artistic member of the group Floratone, which is an experimental collaboration with Frisell, Matt Chamberlain, Tucker Martine, and Lee. He has also worked as VP of A&R for Verve/Polygram and as General Manager of of ECM Records in the USA. I thought Lee would be a great addition to the series here as someone who brings an intense love and passion for music to the table and has a long history of great records under his belt. He is a true Music Maker and Soul Shaker!
