Owen Thomas and The Elms were unapologetically authentic in all aspects. From the moment they were making music The Elms were clear in that whether you were booking them for a club or a church they were going to perform the same. Take it or leave it. This was their truth, and it built them a loyal following.
Eventually deciding to part ways with the Christian music trappings they set out to forge their own path. What followed has been a legacy unlike most groups who leave the Christian Contemporary landscape.
Owen shares his soul with us about his time growing up, time being in The Elms, and how he has made it through some dark times with some clarity.
What do you do when you want to make music which feels true to you, but you're constantly reminded you're part of a "Christian" label? Indeed, what WOULD Jesus do?
In After the Encore Volume 4: "Truth, Soul, Rock & Roll" we interview 4 different lead singers to find out how they approached the Christian music culture and where they've gone since that time.
Tune in to find out how they answer the questions essential to the essence of the podcast:
1. What does music mean to you?
2. How do you quantify success?
3. And what happens after the music fades?
After the Encore is a long-form, career retrospective podcast that takes you behind the music of some of your favorite artists. After the Encore is also a "2020 Music Podcast of the Year" award nominee over at PodcastAwards.com
