Brooks Ritter wrote the modern hymns “Lead Us Back” and “Living Faith” with me. My good friend is the Worship Director of Sojourn’s Midtown Campus and a regular fixture on Sojourn Music albums. And on November 18 Brooks Ritter will release his second full length solo album, titled Gather Round.
He’s received a lot of airplay here in Louisville on our AAA station, WPFK 91.9, and in fact will sing live there on Thursday, November 17 at 11am (listen world-wide at wfpk.org – just click the WFPK “Listen Live” tab).
Listen to my interview with Brooks Ritter, and the world premier of his title cut on this record, Gather Round. Besides the new song, you’ll learn about Brooks’s songwriting process and his process for making music as an indie artist. Find Brooks’s answer to questions like:
Is it easier to write songs when coming from an emotional place like heartache than it is when things are going well?
