Stephen Christian- Anberlin, Anchor & Braille, Grace Family Church
Stephen Christian is best known as the lead vocalist of the band Anberlin, as well as the vocalist of his acoustic side-project Anchor & Braille. Currently he is the pastor at Grace Family Church in South Tampa, Florida.
We discuss his journey into music, his hiatus(es) from Anberlin, a forray into the world of JiuJitsu- but it all leads off with one of my most favorite (and unbelievable) fan experiences involving Stephen.
This is a fantastic episode for anyone that has ever been a fan of the band and of learning about themselves. -
iNTeRNeT FReNDz
iNTeRNeT FReNDz was born as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic - with Rossy Burr getting stuck in the UK with no way to leave in the foreseeable future, he began writing music and ended up leaving behind his 14-year career in artist management to focus on writing music and, eventually, performing it. He began searching for a vocalist for this (over 100) newly-written songs and ended up stumbling upon Michael Swank on TikTok and the rest is history. The two managed to meet up in late 2022 to record demos and have been working ever since - with their first EP iT’S a SeCReT set for release on June 26, the band has already amassed over 28 thousand followers on TikTok.
