Indie artists work hard, sometimes without a lot of encouragement. I hope you take the time to listen to some of his music, and drop him a note to say hello.
Contemporary Christian Musician Andrew Osenga (that’s a lot of capitals), a solo artist, formerly of The Normals, currently of Caedmon’s Call, is offering you some free music.
Well, sort of. He’s offering you some music without demanding compensation. If you’d like to drop him a few bucks in exchange, he’d love to continue feeding his family. The download contains 6 (count ‘em: six) free songs:
Wanted
The Ball Game
You Leave Me No Shadow
Anna and the Aliens
The Blessing Curse
Swing Wide the Glimmering Gates
…and a PDF-version of extended liner notes, which I think is a VERY cool idea. It contains an explanation of the album’s genesis, lyrics, pictures of Andrew, his daughter, his guitars, and a whole bunch of fan-submitted pictures.
I can’t stress strongly enough that you should go and check out Andrew’s music. His good work over a number of years has earned him a following, and he deserves it. Listen to his music, drop him a few bucks, and remember to thank him for giving us all something to sing.
While you’re on his website downloading his music, don’t forget to check out his blog, too.
If you’re a Casting Crowns junkie and can’t wait until the August 28 release of The Altar and the Door, I have good news: you can hear the first single from the album right now!
The song is East to West, and you can hear it here.
I like it. I am, by the way, a Casting Crowns junkie. =)

They’re PDF files. Need a reader?
Matt Papa makes the kind of music I like to listen to. I realize that that’s a very broad category, but there you go. What I’ve heard from him (all through his website’s media player) he’s very comfortable singing songs that are conversational and relational.
In other words, I feel like singing along…and THAT makes good music, in my book.
Matt is offering a free mp3 download of You Are Good at Spin360.
Matt also offers downloadable chord charts AND lead sheets on his website. Just click Music and get ‘em all!
