Alan Harvey Indiana
Alan "Large Al"Harvey
Guitars, Vocals, Songwriter, Vision and Direction
"If I'm crazy, it's for God. " 2 Cor.5:13
Born in the Chicago area, Large Al has been singing since the age of 8 when his daddy dragged him off to Farm Bureau Meetings to perform. He's been playing guitar since the age of 12.
Alan is known for his presence, energy and powerful voice. His music shows his passion. His passion is in his belief in God and his belief that all people have the same deep basic needs; the need to hear the Truth, the need to be set Free and to become all we are designed and destined to be.
Alan's life is not about religion, and it's definitely not about telling other people what to think or how to act. It is about Jesus, passion and truth, period. Alan's songs reach to the heart with a different appeal than what most people have grown to expect from " Christian Entertainers."
So how do we get from here to Christian Blues? Why does it sound funny to hear those two words together? Mississippi John Hurt, Gary Davis, Robert Wilkins and many Blues greats have been singing about God for a long, long time.
Being raised where he was, playing Blues was a musical requirement for Alan. Having come to God for salvation and forgiveness in his late twenties, and having lived in the joy of that discovery ever since, singing the Blues for Jesus is just the right thing to do for "Large Al"...
Large Al's songs are not created to force religious opinions on the listener, but are designed instead to point up life truths that most people can already relate to such as:
There is such a thing as right and wrong.
That living right and "believing in God" ought to fit together.
That no human being has any more or less value than any other human being.
That defining "sin" is a matter between you and God, and is really not anyone else's business!!
That God's gonna be there for you, no matter what.
That He loves you, no matter what. That He's proven His love by kicking the gates of hell open from the inside out.
And finally, most importantly, that not one single human being has got it all together, or has got it all figured out. Those who think they do are the biggest liars of all, because they are lying to themselves.
Always remember . . . "the Truth will set you Free!"

Bob and Jayne Farrell TN
It has been several years since we've had any contact with many of you. We quit doing concert tours about 1991. Some of you may have no idea who we are or how you got here. That's OK.
Farrell & Farrell was/is a husband-wife duo that recorded albums in Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) from about 1977 to 1991. Our music ministry took us literally all over the world, including several trips behind the Iron Curtain before the wall came down. Prior to officially being Farrell & Farrell, we had several groups, including the one that made our first recording, Millennium.
The purpose of this website is simple: To allow you to purchase Farrell & Farrell albums, including some that have never been available before. We will also keep you posted on any future tours we may embark on. I encourage you to visit the site and browse to your heart's content!
All of the Farrell & Farrell albums are now out-of-print and several never made it to CD. Rather than reissue all of the Farrell & Farrell albums, initially we have opted to create compilation discs, Farrell & Farrell - Volumes I and II. In addition, we will make available other product of ours, such as Jayne's solo and specialty projects, Bob's concept works and eventually recordings made before Farrell & Farrell.
Keep checking back as we will continue to add product, and feel free to email us with your comments and questions.
Hi my name is Crystal Hott. I have been writing music for the past 13 years, and have felt the call to having a music ministry geared towards women for the past 5 years. I am married to my high school sweetheart Anthony.We just celebrated out 6th wedding anniversary this past December. We have 4 children; 3 boys— Isaac(5),Elijah(3),and Silas(2); and our most recent addition a few weeks ago, our daughter, Erabelle. Our family has gone through some very tough trials, ones which I never imagined us having to go through; but those trials are what brought each of us closer to God, and helped make us strive to have a marriage God intended it to be. Our family faithfully attends our church every chance we get, we also are apart of our church's choir. During the week my husband works long hours at a factory to be able to provide for our family of 6 while I will be soon working a few hours a week at a local spa doing pedicures and facials. On our down time my husband and I enjoy various hobbies together woodworking,painting, and writing music. I am so excited to be apart of CSMI and can't wait to see what God has planned in all of this!

I would like my music to reflect God's goodness and majesty with fresh, artist eyes, and to dignify all parts in the journey of faith, including times of sorrow and loss. I also want to grow musically in the technical sense with my instruments and voice, and also learn to write powerful and arresting lyrics that speak with honesty. Lastly, I would love to be mentored by those who have gone before me.

Originally from Paducah, Kentucky, Marty began learning to play the guitar at the age of four from Herb Chapman Sr., father of GRAMMY and Dove award winning artist Steven Curtis Chapman. Throughout his early life, Marty played talent shows and county fairs in Kentucky, sharpening his skills and preparing for the day he moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue his dream of a music career. During his college years in Kansas and Missouri, he shifted into music ministry, working with youth camps, which shaped his style of music into what it is today.
In 2006, Marty became an ordained worship pastor and was dubbed a “musicianary” by one of his pastors. Since then, he has spent years touring the country, sharing the gospel of Jesus through his music in churches, camps, youth conferences/retreats, and colleges. “When I lead worship, my goal is not to become the focus, but to turn the focus to the throne of God. I want worshipers to look inside themselves and at their relationship with Jesus. To understand that apart from Christ there is no hope in the world and through Christ alone can salvation, peace, and joy be found,” says Marty. He adds, “These songs fit into every category of life. They are about real life, real joy, real love, real struggle. Being a Christian does not mean we won’t have struggles. Christ told his disciples, ‘in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’ (John 16:33) Even in the struggles, there should be worship. Everything we do in life should be an act of worship to the Lord.” Marty’s music strives to be a reflection of that.
As a songwriter, Marty writes multiple genres, including Pop, Country, Praise & Worship, Americana, Rock, and Dance with some of the top hit makers in Nashville including Mark Irwin (Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw), Nicole Witt (George Strait, Lee Brice), Brady Seals (Little Texas, Hot Apple Pie), Lindsay McCaul, Farewell Angelina, Luke Brown (American Idol), and Shay Watson (Sidewalk Prophets, The Young and the Restless). Marty has recently dug deep into writing and co-producing songs for television with close friend and producer Shay Watson for Discovery Channel, CBS and more.
Marty takes every opportunity given to him to create great music with the hope of enriching peoples live through it. In upbeat songs of praise to our Creator, heartfelt love songs for his wife, or heartbreaking stories of despair he has personally encountered, everyone can find something they are looking for in John Martin Keith’s music.
Marty teaches worship seminars called “More than Music.” These are seminars written for and customized to fit any style or church, worship team, youth group, or individual who wants to learn what worship is truly about and how to put it into practice in their church and everyday life. Topics covered are: Worship in Bible history, musical application, team building, practical worship leading application, and hands on training of technical equipment.
Marty is the owner of Edenbrooke Music. Edenbrooke Music strives to improve the quality of musical entertainment by improving talent though teaching, by improving sound through production, and by improving the career of the musician through performance and recording opportunity. Edenbrooke Music offers guitar lessons, instrument sales, live sound for special events, booking for touring artists and music production services. Learn more at www.edenbrookemusic.com
John Martin Keith has an amazing wife, Keely Brooke Keith, who is also the author of the highly acclaimed Uncharted novels, as well as his spectacular bass player and business manager for Edenbrooke Music. They have a crazy-talented daughter, Rachel, who is homeschooled and loves animals. Together Marty and Keely serve on the worship team at Fellowship Bible Church in Nashville, Tennessee.
Joe Guerra MI
Joe Guerra is a singer/songwriter and worship leader based out of Grand Rapids, MI. He started playing guitar during his highschool years and has since then developed a love for performing and writing music. Over the last few years his talents and geographic reach continue to improve as he has played shows all over the mid-west region at various venues and has lead worship for many youth camps/retreats. Joe's original music contains a passionate and upbeat acoustic driven sound; combining catchy melodies with thought provoking lyrics. He brings a performance that is both entertaining and down-to-earth; and is enjoyed by a wide range of ages.
In the summer of 2007 he released his first EP, which was received with great enthusiasm by his listening audiences. It featured songs such as "Run", which tells the story of a girl struggling to deal with her past and how she needs to run to the future; chasing tomorrow’s sun instead of letting the past control who she is today.
The spring of 09’ brought with it the release of Joe’s second recording project “Free to Fly” This six track EP deals with the issue of finding and embracing our true potential in Christ. The title track, “Free to Fly”, really sets the theme for the whole album, one of breaking from the mundane everyday and finding a vibrant new life lived to the fullest; a life that can only truly be found by reaching closer to the heart of God.
Often when people leave a performance by Joe Guerra they leave with much more than just an entertaining music experience; they leave changed and inspired by his bold and challenging lyrics about life and our purpose here on earth. Joe’s songwriting possesses a canny ability to strike a chord deep in the heart of those who listen. Many say that they feel they can really relate to what Joe has to say in his songs and come away from his music encouraged by the passion so easily found in his performances.
Over the past few years, Joe has been able to acquire a lot of experience both performing and ministering in many different settings across the nation. He has worked with many different venues as well as churches and youth groups. He is currently available for booking many different types of situations; offering performances of his original music as either solo performances, or with his band. Also, Joe is available for worship leading at retreats, camps, churches, or wherever else you might need a worship leader.

I've always loved music and the ability to express feelings and thoughts in poems and melodies.
You see, I was always a shy kid, EXTREMELY SHY! So when it came to communication through conversation, I couldn't do it. I had thoughts and ideas but getting them out was a problem for me.
As a result, song writing started to become an outlet for my voice to be heard, the things I could never say I could sing and the thoughts I had deep in my soul began to finally come to the surface.
I wrote my first song at the age of ten, titled “Miracles”. I couldn't play any instruments yet, however; my Dad could and he helped me place chords around the melody I constructed.
But I didn't want to rely on my Dad to help my chord-less melody every time inspiration struck, so my Dad started teaching me how to play guitar and I began to figure out which chords went well together. Now, when I had a song, I could actually place chords around it all by myself, I felt so accomplished!
I started writing more, playing more, and then crying a bit because my fingers hurt!!! Then I would repeat: write, play, cry, write, play, cry...over and over.
Call it crazy, but I like to call it passion!
My Dad, being one of the pastors at the church, was able to get me to play my song in front of the congregation on a Sunday morning, and somehow with shaky knees and a heart that was pumping so hard it could have been the drum beat for the song, I worked up the courage and started to sing. That moment, as scary as it was, began to shape my vision of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Now my mom, who saw the giftings developing in me, never hesitated to give me opportunities to share my songs; I'd sing for people we'd have over at the house, to her in our living room, lead worship for bible studies, and even sing my songs at ladies events. Though I was hesitant at first, the more she would make...I mean...encourage me to play and sing, the more confident and comfortable I became, and the more the vision I had when I was 10 started to make sense.
Worship has always been a huge part of my life.
I grew up in church and from a young age, with as shy as I was, I loved to get on stage and help lead the songs by doing the dance moves. When I was about 14 years old my, and guitar playing had gotten a little better, my Children's Pastor allowed me to start leading the worship for the kids with a band, now instead of a cd track we had live worship! This is where I started learning how to really lead worship. Then around 15 years old I was given the opportunity to start leading the Youth band.
Then, when I was 16, my Dad became the Senior Pastor of a church that was about an hour and a half away from the church I had pretty much grown up in. We had to move leaving behind friends and family, but I wasn't leaving behind the skills and abilities I had learned from the leaders there. As we embarked on this new journey it was weird at first, I had been leading worship twice a week sometimes three, and now I was trying to find my place in this new church.
I started to miss leading worship,
and within a month or so I started leading worship for Children's Church. Then for the Youth, and eventually I was able to lead the adults on Sunday mornings, this was a whole new ball game.
I was the worship leader there for 3 of the three and a half years we were there and I grew a lot in that time as a worship leader and as a person through the adversity and struggles my family faced, this is where a lot of my songs for this latest project come from.
This world will fail us all the time
People we thought were on our side can betray us, the things we thought would fill us and bring us happiness end up leaving us dry and unsatisfied. With this new album I wanted to emphasize that through it all our God is faithful and He is for us. If we'd trust in Him, He'd give us a peace that passes all understanding and a joy that no one can explain. It doesn't come from anyone but Jesus Christ, who took our sins upon Himself, died the death we deserved and then ROSE FROM THE GRAVE, giving us a way to be made new!
Because of this our HOPE REMAINS!!!
Now, Fast forward almost 10 years later since my first song and I've produced three albums with my home studio.
My first album called “Just Listen” in 2010
my second album titled “Not Forgotten” in 2012
and my latest project “Hope Remains” in 2014
Though I know I have a ways to go, I'm getting better and better with each album...I think. ? I'm so thankful for the leaders in my life who saw something in me and gave me the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone, they allowed me to mess up and learn from it. If it wasn't for them taking a chance on me I'd be no where near where I am today. My story is far from finished and
I look forward to seeing what God has in store for me next.

First and foremost to bring honor and glory to God. I want to write Christian music that is accessible to non-Christians and brings them closer to reconciliation with the the Father. If even one of my songs can help someone take a moment and think and reflect, I consider that a success
