New Contemporary Songbook Now Available-
Over the years I've been asked a zillion times whether or not I have any music available for "contemporary worship" that would work well in traditional or so-called "mainline Protestant" churches. Many folks shared that while they wanted to bring more modern music into their worship services, they were having a very hard time finding songs in the world of "contemporary praise and worship music."

Well, this is my first attempt at providing a collection of songs in response to these many requests, and I hope and pray that there are at least a few songs in this book which you and your congregation will enjoy singing together. Click the "Go" button below to learn more about it.

"J-Walking - Songs for Justice Walkers" CD Available-
This new recording is a compilation of previously recorded songs and four new songs, including "I See You", "I'll Stand With You", "God's Green Earth", and "Sarah's Song." This 18 song recording is made possible by a collaborative effort between Bryan and an organization called JustFaith in Louisville, KY (www.justfaith.org), this recording features most of Bryan's peace and justice theme songs.

This is the only recording that includes the popular "Wooden Bell" song.

"Wise As Serpents - Gentle As A Dove" Re-released on CD
This recording is actually a re-mastered double album (18 songs total), and includes just about every song from Bryan's first two solo recordings (Gentle As A Dove, released in 1989, and Wise As Serpents, released in 1990) -- the only song not included is "Looser Chains." These two recordings were always a double album in Bryan's mind, which is why he chose to take their titles from one verse of scripture, Matt. 10:16.
