Embark on a journey with Christian rock pioneers Kemper Crabb (ArkAngel) and Frank Hart (Atomic Opera) through the landscapes of faith and sound that define Contemporary Christian Music. Host Tim Ristow guides the conversation with these two legends to uncover the genesis of this genre with Kemper during the Jesus Music era to Frank building on that legacy during the '90's, while also peering into the personal faith paths that carved their storied careers. From the vibrant energy of creating some of their best albums to the intimate reflections on how faith has interwoven with their artistry, these artists offer a compelling narrative of conviction and creativity that has left an indelible mark on the world of music.
Witness the alchemy of medieval melodies and the poetic depth of songwriting as Kemper delves into the creation of ArkAngel's "Warrior," an album that embodies the resonance of historical influences within modern Christian rock. Frank, on the other hand, brings us into his artistic metamorphosis, detailing the path that fueled his transformation into a songwriter with a mission and that lead to the formation of his band, Atomic Opera, and their four hard rocking albums: For Madmen Only (1994), Penguin Dust (1997), Alpha & Oranges (1999) and Gospel Cola (2000).
As we weave through their anecdotes and experiences, we uncover the essence of a friendship fortified by music and ministry, a bond that has catalyzed their collaborative spirit and artistic evolution.
Join host Tim Ristow and guests Kemper Crabb and Frank Hart in an episode that beckons a deeper appreciation for the interplay between creative expression and unwavering faith.
