After over a decade of making music with the David Crowder Band, David Crowder is now embarking on a new musical journey as a solo artist, under the name Crowder. “I am thrilled to announce a new album coming out under the name Crowder,” the singer explains. “I’ve never been more excited about a batch of songs!”
His first single, "I Am," off his upcoming album Neon Steeple (February 18, 2014), is a great reminder of how we are always in the presence of God- no matter where our lives have taken us. “The name of God when it’s revealed is a big moment in history." David explains. “That evokes the idea of the presence, of being in his name. For me, that is one of the greatest hopes of the Christian faith. That no matter where you are in life, that you live and breathe in the presence of God. So many times I forget about that, and I need to be realigned to that reality."
The album Neon Steeple, is described by David as “Folktronica-” porch music and computer music combined. "It's been a couple years since the David Crowder Band has made music, but there was more to be written," he says. "I collected some players that could all fit on a porch and have instruments that you wouldn't have to put on a wall, like- banjos, fiddles, that type of thing. The point is to feel like we were on a porch together."
In addition to the "porch music" sound, David said it was important to him to add an electronic element as well. "I love computer music," he says. "Growing up around the video games I loved the sounds. It makes my heart happy."
Crowder will joining artists such as Newsboys, Tenth Avenue North and Thousand Foot Krutch, on the Winter Jam Tour this fall. He will also be headlining a nationwide tour in 2014, with All Sons & Daughters, and Capital Kings. "It's gonna be a 'Folktronica' night," he says of the tour. "I cannot wait for you to hear it!"
Good God Almighty

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And You showed up and patched me up like You do every time
I get amnesia
I forget that You keep coming around
Yeah, ain't no way You'll ever let me down
Good God Almighty
Praising Your name no matter what comes
'Cause I know where I'd be
Without Your mercy
So I keep praising Your name at the top of my lungs
Tell me, is He good? (He's good)
Tell me, is He God? (He's God)
He is, Good God Almighty
You say Your love goes on forever, that Your mercy never stops
So why would I assume You'd be somebody that You're not?
Like sun in the morning
I know You're gonna be there every day
So what on earth could make me be afraid?
Good God Almighty
I hope You'll find me
Praising Your name no matter what comes
'Cause I know where I'd be
Without Your mercy
So I keep praising Your name at the top of my lungs
Tell me is He good? (He's good)
Tell me is He God? (He's God)
He is, Good God Almighty
Praise Him in the morning
Praise Him in the noon time
Praise Him when the Sun goes down
Love Him in the morning
Love Him in the noon time
Love Him when the Sun goes down
Good God Almighty
I hope You'll find me (I hope You'll find me)
Praising Your Name no matter what comes (no matter what comes)
'Cause I know where I'd be
Without Your mercy
So I keep praising Your name at the top of my lungs
Tell me is He good? (He's good)
Tell me is He God? (He's God)
He is, Good God Almighty
Jesus in the morning
Jesus in the noon time
Jesus when the Sun goes down
Jesus in the morning
Jesus in the noon time
Jesus when the Sun goes down

It was so great to have my band back together and had to have Mav City Choir join us. We headed south of Atlanta to a movie sound stage and shot this music video that made us look like we went to outer space with Elon Musk. Hope you enjoy!
