One of the singers at church asked the question last week, “what makes great song leading in church?” It’s a great question. Many churches are blessed with great singers, but my hunch is that far fewer have truly great songleaders… people who are able to lead the crowd (both musically and spiritually) in a genuine engagement with God.

Here are a few clips from some of the leading song leaders of our day. I figure we can learn much from all of them!

But what particularly do you think is great about what they’re doing? Is there some stuff which might work well in an arena but less well in a suburban church?

Brooke Fraser - Hosanna


Matt Redman - Blessed Be The Name

Tim Hughes - Here I Am To Worship

Keith and Kristyn Getty - In Christ Alone

Reuben Morgan - Mighty To Save

The backing tracks are now uploaded for the new album…

Those of you who don’t have the luxury of a live band can now sing along to all the songs from the new album.

Just dug up an old interview from last year between Tim Smith (Mars Hill Music Guy) and Bob Kauflin (Sovereign Grace worship pastor) on the physical response in singing together.

Very very interesting. Sydney’s own David Peterson gets a big wrap here.
