LaaF…Culture!

I am always looking for music by christians that isn’t hokey.  I like music.  I like Jesus.  But I don’t like hokey-ness.  unfortunately, music by christians too often sounds that way.

i say “music by christians” not “christian music” because the latter is explicitly about christian themes and the former don’t always identify themselves as the latter.  i say “christian” by what they have professed to believe in one form or another, not necessarily how they practice their faith which is a whole other issue.  i say “hokey” because it’s a distasteful quality in music to me that is hard to describe in other words…it just sounds a little too jolly and fake.

i know musical tastes vary very much so i’ve tried my best to compile artists of multiple genres that i know and limit what i cut out to hokey stuff.

Here are single tracks from these artists listed above

please feel free to recommend any artists that you’ve found that fit under those categories!
