I have got such a great show for you, and I can’t wait to introduce one of today’s great musicians to you. If you are not familiar with the music of Phil Keaggy, believe me, you are in for a treat. If you ARE familiar with him, you are in for a treat, too, because you are going to get to hear him in a way that you probably never have…because Phil and I had a chance to talk last week for over an hour, and you are going to get to know another dimension of this remarkably gifted man.
During our conversation, we talked about many different musicians, and I have woven some clips of most of them into our conversation, so you’re going to get to sample many different artists and genres today. Kind of an audio smorgasborg. I hope you like it, and I hope you’ll give me feedback. Call me toll free at 877-433-9091, or email me at steve.lifespring@gmail.com.
By the way, I mention in the show that the new CD, Phantasmagorical, will be released “any minute.” The CD is NOW AVAILABLE! Buy it now here or here!
John Schlitt is a name that, for many people conjures up memories of a hard rockin’ band from the midwest called Head East. I think their biggest hit was Never Been Any Reason, which is still played by classic rock stations around the country. John was one of the founding members, the lead singer, of Head East in August of 1969, but left the band to go to school not long after, only to return in 1973, after earning a degree in civil engineering. Head East has a reputation for putting on unbelievable shows. High energy, high volume, rockin’ music, that crowds love.
Several years later, as John relates in today’s show, the already award winning Christian rock band, Petra, called and asked him to join them as their new lead singer.
Petra played their last gig in 2007, but John Schlitt has released his third solo effort with “The Grafting”. Listen to the show to hear John tell his story, talk about this great new project, and hear some of the songs.
