Anchor Hymns Return with "Jesus Is"

Anchor Hymns

Anchor Hymns announces the dawn of a new project with their new single "Jesus Is." Written by folk songwriter Taylor Leonhardt and performed by Chaunda Jefferson and Travis Ryan, the new song is a soulful anthem of hope.

Listen to the song HERE.

Recorded live in the mundane-meets-divine settings of a Nashville brewery, Black Abbey, "Jesus Is" honestly tells of the lows of the human condition and contrasts them with the wholeness found in Jesus. The new song is driven by a bluesy guitar, relaxed drums, and the underlying presence of an organ which gives it its groove. 

Rooted in sacred, reverential, and vulnerable honesty these hymns dive deep into the human condition. Anchor Hymns is a multigenerational collective of artists creating songs of substance from both a lyrical, theological, and musical frame. With roots spanning across generations past and yet-to come, as well diverse ethnic backgrounds, these songs create a place where honesty can be found in community, while simultaneously looking towards what's ahead with gratitude.

Musically drawing from Neo Soul, Indie Rock, Brooklyn Fusion, (Blues, Jazz, RnB, Soul), these songs are unafraid to tackle the sounds of suffering and grief, as well as joy and celebration. Anchor Hymns creates a space in our musical lexicon to find language for our grief, our suffering, our anxieties, our doubt, our disbelief, our uncertainty.

More than just a serious collection of spiritual songs, these are meant to be played on a continuum of musical sophistication, allowing room for worship musicians to level up their skills or to simplify the sounds and play within their skillset.

The hope is that these songs of substance would strengthen the hearts, souls, and minds of those who engage (whether playing, or listening). They are songs that are for funerals and home churches alike, in both traditional and modern houses of worship worldwide. This is an open and accessible spiritual and musical edification that gives space for those who find it difficult to engage in typical four chord modern worship.
