Christian Music Guys

Today on Christian Music Guys, we’re honored to welcome a true pioneer in Christian rock and worship music, John Ellis of the Dove Award-winning band Tree63. From unforgettable songs like “Treasure,” “Look What You’ve Done,” “King,” and the chart-topping “Blessed Be Your Name,” Tree63 has left an undeniable mark on the global Christian music landscape. After more than a decade-long hiatus, John and the band are back with a renewed vision and a brand-new album, VOYAGE, a project that explores the ongoing journey of faith and what it means to walk with God through every season of life. We’ll talk about the inspiration behind the new music, the band’s remarkable legacy, their return to the stage, and how God continues to shape John’s life and ministry through the voyage of faith. John, welcome to Christian Music Guys!

Today on the Christian Music Guys, we’re honored to welcome a true veteran and respected voice in Christian music, Chris Hauser.

He played a key role in helping launch Lauren Daigle’s groundbreaking debut album How Can It Be, helping bring songs like “Trust in You” and “First” to millions of listeners nationwide. Beyond the accolades and accomplishments, Chris is known for his servant heart, deep faith, and passion for mentoring the next generation of leaders in Christian music.

Today we’ve got a special guest who’s helped shape the sound of modern worship across the globe. He’s a founding member of Hillsong Young & Free,  and a songwriter behind some of the most powerful anthems in the Church—songs like Alive, Wake, Real Love, Echo, and A Great Awakening. His heart for worship has reached far beyond the stage, even contributing to the latest release from Lakewood Music.
Now, he’s stepping into a brand new season with a project called SUNDAY—a shift from personal, reflective songwriting into music crafted specifically for the gathered Church… songs meant to unify, uplift, and create space for real encounters with God.
Help us welcome Alexander Pappas!

Today on Christian Music Guys, we’re excited to welcome Rush of Fools—a powerhouse band out of Birmingham, Alabama, whose impact on Christian music has spanned nearly two decades. Known for their breakout hit “Undo,” which dominated Christian radio in 2007, along with songs like “When Our Hearts Sing,” “Lose It All,” and “Grace Found Me,” their music has consistently pointed listeners back to the heart of the Gospel. With a name rooted in 1 Corinthians 1, Rush of Fools has always carried a message of humility and surrender, and now they’re bringing that same passion in a fresh way with their brand-new project, Live in Gatlinburg, available now.

Today on Christian Music Guys, we’re celebrating a huge milestone — our 300th episode! And to mark the occasion, we’re introducing an incredible guest: Evelyn Cormier—a New Hampshire native blending folk-pop with deeply personal, faith-centered storytelling. You may know her from American Idol, where she made the Top 14 and impressed Katy Perry, but her heart for music started in church at a young age. With her breakout single Like Me Better and her latest track Leaning On Jesus, Evelyn is stepping into CCM with a raw, reflective sound rooted in her faith.
