In early 2012, the future of David Crowder\u2019s music career was up in the air. His self-titled band had broken up, he\u2019d left the church staff he\u2019d been a part of for 16 years and he\u2019d dug himself up from his Texan roots and planted in the soils of Atlanta, Georgia\u2019s Passion City Church. To hear the singer describe it, it was a time of indecision and uncertainty. He didn\u2019t know if he\u2019d make music (professionally) ever again after the band disbanded. So he was left searching for a new purpose.<\/p>\n

With his first ever solo album, he found it. Neon Steeple<\/em> — which debuted last May — is the most personal and vulnerable we\u2019ve ever heard the man whose wiry beard rivals that of a Duck Dynasty cast member<\/a> (note: he was working on his long before those guys scored their own TV show) and whose good ol\u2019 boy persona has made him popular amongst his legion of fans and big names in Christian circles like Pastor Louie Giglio and singer Chris Tomlin.<\/p>\n

Guideposts.org sat down with the singer before he took the stage at the New York City stop of his nationwide tour to talk the bittersweet ending of the band and how he\u2019s single-handedly transforming the landscape of the Christian music scene.<\/p>\n

A New Season <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the world of Christian music, David Crowder Band is a name that holds weight. Through 12 years, six studio albums, countless Dove awards and a Grammy nominations, the guys from Waco, Texas had amassed a loyal fan following. But in 2012, the group that began thanks to its founder\u2019s desire to get a younger audience excited about church just wasn\u2019t excited about signing on to yet another three-record deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just very apparent,\u201d Crowder told Guideposts.org. \u201cThis is over.\u201d<\/p>\n

The news was a shock to fans, in part thanks to the massive success of the band\u2019s final album Give Us Rest<\/em>. The fact that the breakup came without headlines of feuding members or nasty confrontations made it even harder to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

It was just a new season of life.<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u201cThere wasn\u2019t any internal conflict.\u201d Crowder explained. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t like the stereotypical, \u2018band breaks up because they\u2019re angry at one another\u2019. I didn\u2019t even know what I wanted to do next; it just felt like this was the end. It was just a new season of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

That new season led to a move east, a new community in Giglio\u2019s Passion City Church and a new opportunity to create music.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t turn off the faucet.\u201d Crowder said. \u201cSongs just kept coming and I thought \u2018I need<\/em> to be doing music somehow.\u2019 It\u2019s just in me and how I\u2019m wired. I feel like I\u2019m utilized and useful when I\u2019m in that position; when I\u2019m able to articulate for people that have had a similar church experience as I\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/p>\n

That experience is one his younger fans — the college kids who attend Passion conferences and follow his zany Twitter and Instagram feeds — readily identify with.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in the church, in a very traditional scene, and when I got to school, my mind was blown by all the ideas and things I\u2019d been sheltered from. It\u2019s like, \u2018I need to weed through this and decide what of this faith is mine and what have I just inherited from my parents,\u2019 and then throw my arms around it. For me, Christ is a very compelling figure and something I wasn\u2019t willing to set aside, but what of it is just institutional baggage and how can I help other people find freedom?\u201d<\/p>\n

A New Sound <\/strong><\/p>\n

To do that, Crowder first had to decide what direction he wanted to take his solo career. While David Crowder* Band had been known for its bluegrass feel, makeshift instruments and worship-style lyrics, Crowder\u2019s new sound compiles some of the best memories of his own childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in East Texas, so there was no avoidance of country music,\u201d the singer said. \u201cCountry music is just a part of the lifestyle and in my family, gospel and bluegrass were right alongside. The Gaithers was sitting next to Willie Nelson. But then too, I feel like I spent too much time sitting in front of the TV, in an \u201880s age with Nintendo and Atari, so those little 8-bit beeps and blips, I just think fun, innocent childhood when I hear either of those things. I started thinking, If I\u2019m going to do something new, I still want it to be within the church, I still want it to be community based, where you have a bunch of people and music is in the middle of this and we\u2019re just authentically responding to our experience of God.<\/p>\n

The end result, dubbed \u201cfolktronica\u201d is a term Crowder doesn\u2019t necessarily claim credit for (though he rightly could) but one which describes the sound of his new album almost perfectly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit of folk, a little bit of tronica,\u201d the singer joked. \u201cWe need the banjo and we need the 808 kicking; the Appalachians and Ibiza all together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

This is definitely the most personal I\u2019ve gotten on a record.<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

While stylistically, Crowder\u2019s sound has certainly changed, the biggest difference in Neon Steeple<\/em> is what he accomplishes lyrically. Tracks like \u201cCome As You Are,\u201d \u201cI Am\u201d and \u201cLift Your Head Weary Sinner\u201d all speak of redemption, healing and the possibility of new beginnings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like this is definitely the most personal I\u2019ve gotten lyrically on a record,\u201d Crowder explained.<\/p>\n

Free from the constraints of writing in a group setting, the songwriter was able to learn a new way of putting pen to paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned lyrically, I\u2019m more inspiration driven. It felt impossible for me to sit down and conjure up something that\u2019s art. I don\u2019t even know how you can control the moment, it feels like the wind starts blowing and you\u2019ve just got to be ready. I felt like the only way I could develop my craft was to spend a lot of time as a collector. I would just listen a lot, read a lot, pay attention to words that move me and move other people, how they are put together because especially in church music, there\u2019s a very limited vocabulary set. The way I could develop is to pay attention to songs that have stuck around forever. Just paying attention to that stuff, I felt like I\u2019d be ready whenever the wind started blowing again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judging by the reviews his latest album has received, success is in the cards for Crowder\u2019s solo turn. But then again, pleasing the critics isn\u2019t what the singer cares about. It\u2019s the fans that matter. The ones that crowd into nightclubs or pack concert arenas like the one we ventured to in Times Square for the chance to see in person what Crowder\u2019s followers love most about the artist: his live act. Perched on stage that resembles a cross between the front of a Cracker Barrel and a Star Wars<\/em> movie set, Crowder croons everything from his new music, to old fan favorites, snippets of a rap song by Drake and a Bill Gaither record. He lets the music speak for itself and the crowd — who knows just about every tune — takes over the lyrics, seeming to discover their own faith through his words.<\/span><\/p>\n

To Crowder, that\u2019s the best part.\u201cMy journey\u2019s been very similar to everybody else\u2019s on the planet. We\u2019re all kind of in the same boat, so to have the words be exactly my experience and see people relate to that experience, it\u2019s just really cool.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
