John Mark McMillan

If this is a new name to you, you need to spend some time on youtube, iTunes or Amazonmp3 and check him out.
I was looking through a digital magazine today and stumbled upon this video of John on New Day TV up in Seattle.
Great song with searing lyrics. After the song, he has a chance to talk to the host for a few minutes to explain his take on his music, how he got started and what he calls his music. He seems like a regular guy.

What I like about his music is that it doesn't sound like everything else you hear on Christian Radio.
Very rootsy (is there such a word?) and not overly produced like so many other groups you hear.
Not the same chord progressions or formats. It's a breath of fresh air.

Hope you like it!

And if you do like John, what's your favorite song?
