Episode 26 - Credenda

Road trip! Road trip! Episode 26 is here, all the way from Nashville, Tennessee.

Last month, I sat down with Anna, Barb, and Daniel Bruton from the band Credenda. Treasure Valley music lovers may remember Credenda from their numerous appearances in Boise and the surrounding area.

In December, 2017, the family made the decision, spurred by advice from others in the local music scene (such as Steve Eaton and Terry Miller), to leave Idaho and head to the Music City in order to see what might be possible.

Last month, I sat down with Anna, Barb, and Daniel in their Tennessee home to talk about a variety of subjects, including the origins of the band's name. We also talk about the band's sound, which they describe as "genre defying."

From there, we get into a discussion of when they knew they had something special, the band's songwriting process, and, of course, their unique harmonies.

To be sure, we'll talk about the band's debut EP. They'll also share three songs from that EP.

Credenda will host a release party in Kingston Springs, Tennessee on February 27. If you can't make the trip, you can tune in live at WFMC Jams. Like WFMC Jams on Facebook, and you can watch the release party as it happens.

Be sure to join me for episode 27, when I sit down with 15-year old guitarist Noble Holt from the band Captain SNAFU.

Sneak Peak: Credenda

Normally, this would be an off week, but I thought I would try something a bit different for episode 26.

The episode will still go online next Friday, February 22. So the posting schedule isn't changing (at least not yet).

What is changing is that I thought I'd give a little preview of what you will hear in episode 26. A sneak peak, if you will, a roughly five-minute slice from the episode.

Episode 26 features the family band Credenda. The band had begun to make a name for itself around the Treasure Valley before heeding the advice to move to Nashville to see if they have what it takes to make it in the music business.

In the 14 months since moving, Credenda has honed its sound and its signature harmonies. They've also recorded an EP, which releases the week after episode 26 goes online. Release plans include a live concert to be broadcast over the internet. (I'll link that when episode 26 is posted.)

I was recently in Nashville and had the opportunity to sit down with the members of Credenda. Among other things, we talk about their sound and their "relative harmony." Get a sneak peak above and be sure to listen to the full episode when it drops next Friday.
