Music for the Soul: Josh Garrels

Josh Garrels

Top Tracks: "Farther Along," "Anchor," "White Owl"  

Josh Garrels is an extremely gifted songwriter whose songs showcase real struggles, real sins, and a real grace that goes much deeper than anything you would hear on Contemporary Christian radio. You can get one of his albums free here. His latest album: Love & War & The Sea In-Between was voted album of the year by Christianity Today.

"Freak-folk singer-songwriter Josh Garrels spent more than a year crafting his seventh album, and he calls the process "the most rigorous mental and spiritual struggle I've known as an artist." Perhaps it was the extra fire that helped refine the project—Love & War & The Sea In-Between (Small Voice Records) 5 stars—to a brilliant, 18-song collection that grapples with and celebrates, well, love and war and all the gritty tension of a spirit forging its way through the shadowy intricacies of humanity."    -- Christianity Today

Here's a video of Josh Garrels performing his most popular song "Farther Along" live at the Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland, OR, July 30th 2010.
