MITCH MCVICKER IN CONCERT!
Classic Christian Rock Preservation Society presentsMitch Mcvicker in concert March 2 7:00pm. This is a free concert. A love offering will be taken.
Lynhurst Baptist Church Indianapolis IN
Mitch McVicker’s latest recording, The Grey (When Black & White Fade), points us beyond our desire to make sense of everything. “The Love of God is beyond calculation,” he says. “So there’s no need to attempt to measure life in black and white.”
McVicker’s music career has consisted of 1700 concerts and 10 albums. Yet with his latest project, he looks towards the mysterious grey love of God. McVicker hopes the album’s songs serve as a reminder of how “God’s all-encompassing love connects with us in all situations and through every circumstance.”
After growing up in Kansas, McVicker began working with the late, great Rich Mullins. The two of them performed concerts together, wrote songs, and were roommates. Then, McVicker was in the car wreck that killed Mullins.
Shortly after Rich’s death, and while Mitch was still deep in recovery, the two won the GMA’s Dove Award for song of the year, for their writing of “My Deliverer”
After a lengthy recovery, McVicker began his own musical journey. Rich Mullins has influenced his thoughts as much as he has influenced his music.
This can be heard as McVicker speaks of embarking on his latest concert tour, “At this point in my life, I am setting out to be guided by the Love of God. Being led by love is a lot more scary, ambiguous, and, yes, grey, than following steps simply for the sake of the steps.”
He continues, “I want to live in the grey. That’s not to say that anything goes, rather, that’s to say that everything is included.
Jesus seems to point out that the Kingdom of God is built upon a vast grey love.”
The Grey (When Black & White Fade) is the deep-lyriced, folk-rock that McVicker’s loyal listeners have come to love and expect. However, this self- produced endeavor is being lauded as his most artful and expressive project to date.
McVicker has possibly never recorded any more intimate and beautiful songs than “Wanna”, “Being Held”, and “Seashells”.
All people relate to the raw and truthful hope found in the earthy authenticity and modern sounds of "In Other Words” and "Still Afloat”.
With “I’m-A-Goin’”, McVicker combines lush strings, driving beats, and ’60’s story-telling.
The rock ballad “Into the River”, tells a tale of painful peace with a gut-wrenching mix of this life’s hopelessness and other- worldly hope.
Mitch lives in Atlanta, Georgia, and loves spending time with his wife, Paula, and their two children, Brooklyn, their 10-year old daughter, and Payson, their 5-year old son.
When he is not traveling and doing concerts, McVicker wears all the hats required of a music career. He handles booking, creative and visionary management, publicity, tour management, recording, merchandise management, promotions, etc.
McVicker states, “For Jesus, life is lived from the heart...from the soul. He speaks of life being fueled by grace and led by an all-encompassing love. So I think measuring and calculating life, just ends up cluttering the space in which love moves.”
McVicker says he will continues to perform concerts and record albums “for as long as the Lord sees fit”, and summarizes, “I have often colored within the lines simply because the lines were there. That’s easy. That’s comfortable. But that’s not the call.
“From here on out, I will be listening. It is my hope to be directed.”
