Steve Camp is one of the true maverick artists in CCM history. He was a trailblazer and a controversial voice in the industry, and he's also one of my heroes. I'm thrilled to spend an hour with Steve talking about his early days in Christian Music, his friendship with Keith Green and his "107 theses" that rocked the landscape of the industry in the 90s. You cannot tell the story of Christian Music...

One of my favorite artists to tour with in the 90's was Bruce Carroll. He wasn't the typical CCM artist, with his folk/country roots and vivid story-telling, and he was always a blast to be around! I caught up with Bruce and asked him to share his story of turning from drugs to Jesus, to his wife calling out his musical gift, to carving out his unique legacy in Christian music. Check out my Spotif...

The images from the music videos that accompanied our favorite CCM songs will always stay with us! That's why I'm grateful for friends like Stephen Yake, arguably the most prolific music video director in Christian Music history. He directed some unforgettable videos: Smitty's "Secret Ambition", Carman's "Witch's Invitation", Sandi and Wayne's "Another Time, Another Place" and 4HIM's "The Basics o...

The story of CCM cannot be told without the songs, voices and harmonies of Point Of Grace. As a staple on Christian radio in the 90s the four ladies of POG garnered a loyal fan base that continues to this day! They continue to record and tour as a trio and I'm thrilled to sit down for a fun, laughter filled conversation with Shelley, Denise and Leigh.1 Degree of Andy Spotify Playlisthttps://open.s...

You absolutely cannot tell the story of Christian music without Russ Taff, arguably the greatest voice of the genre. And in our conversation Russ leaves no stone unturned - from his tumultuous childhood, to a crazy journey with the Imperials, the addiction that nearly cost him everything, to his unwavering love for Christ! This is a very special episode with a very special artist! Support the show...

A wild dream of mine came true the day I stepped into the studio to record a vocal produced by Michael Omartian. I listened to his music on pop radio throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's and it blew my mind that not only would I get to work with this musical genius, but he would also become my friend. The conversation you're about to hear tells just a fraction of Omar's incredible story. From his da...

His fans know him for his incredible catalogue of songs - Watercolour Ponies, Friend Of A Wounded Heart, Home Free just to name a few.

The people I toured with in the late 80s, 90s and early 2000s gave me some of my favorite memories of that era. And I have a lot of fun memories of being on the road with Scott Krippayne! On this episode we catch up on each others' lives, talk about our most embarrassing moments on tour, and get a glimpse into Scott's successful "second music career."Support the showandychrisman.com

I can honestly say the most fun I ever had on tour was when 4HIM invited The Katina's to join us. And I had a lot of fun again sitting down with Joe and John, two of the five Katina Boyz. They join me to tell stories about growing up in poverty, a career changing ride to the airport with BeBe Winans, turning down a deal with Clive Davis, and a whole lot of other stuff you have to hear to believe!...
