Details:
From separate stories and adventures, through different doors of religion, we were gathered by worship and became friends and family. We watched our religious worlds unravel and our desperation exceed our fear of being misunderstood.
We belong to the church family of River of Life Outreach in Lyons, GA. Whatever we do beyond these doorways is an outstretched arm of who we are at home. As music, art, and media is integrated into our worship, we successfully cross the imaginary line between the “secular and sacred.” Many who come enjoy the spiritual implications of artistic freedom in the church.
Like the freestanding frame of an Aeolian harp, the Spirit of the wind moves us and we groan. Our music is an invitation to open the windows. Take off your shoes. Feel – for a change. And when you can’t feel, we invite you to dream.
''Risk'' is a diverse album, drawing on the influences of jazz and blues, as well as a hint of progressive rock. Vocal duties are shared between guitarist Teri Williams and pianist Eric Love and lyrically the album is beautifully spiritual. ''Risk'' is actually a concept album, following a young girl on a metaphorical journey which parallels our journey through life and the risks we take on that journey. ''Risk'' is a creative work which hints at a level of musicality not always found in the church worship group, the arrangements are subtly coloured with violin and mandolin parts. Noah Bullard''s sensitive touch on both bass guitar and double bass, together with Micah Williams on drums, create an atmospheric backdrop for some gorgeous compositions. ''Risk'' chronicles an epic journey of intimacy with Jesus.
