what’s hot . . . 072210

Posted on July 22nd, 2010 by by swilliams

Well, it is summer in Texas, so the weather is definitely HOT! However, I’d like to know what’s hot on the worship scene in our North Texas churches.  If you have a couple of favorite worship tunes right now that really minister to your team and congregation share them with us, the name of the song and the artist.

As for me, a lot of people ask how I go about song selection.  Easy, a lot of listening.  online searches, youtube, what other churches are doing, what’s being played on the radio, songs that are melodically simple, have a good hook and are lyrically sound. Songs that fit our team well (stylistically and vocally) and songs that are anointed for the culture of our congregation.

Some of the artists–CFNI, Gateway, Hillsongs United, Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Camp, Casting Crowns, Mercy Me, Adam Cunningham, Aaron Shust, Jeff Deyo, Todd Agnew, David Crowder, Planetshakers, Parchute Band, Ricardo Sanchez, New Life Church, Desperation Band, Israel Houghton, Martha Munizzi, Newsboys, Robbie Seay Band.

Charts?  Easy.  Most songs you can find on youtube for your band to listen to for free, and most songs you can find a basic starter chord chart online for, as well.  Need help with charting, transposing, etc? Email me at sherri@tcoc.tv and I’ll be glad to help you!  In the mean time, stay cool and have a blessed rest of the summer.
