Album Notes

What Others Are Saying:

"In his unique rock style Matt has again created stellar music that stays with you. You'll find yourself singing these songs all day, and then realize that you're singing scripture! From his punk-like chants about blood and water to the soothing acoustical "Be not afraid for love is near" chorus, you'll find yourself playing air drums on the steering wheel of your car!"
-- Pastor Aaron Norwood, the Bridge, Phoenix, AZ



“Matt Beem’s songs are brilliantly written and strikingly beautiful, speaking to God's epic, enduring truth. His performance is authentic, heartfelt, and engaging. ...The total experience of Matt Beem’s music is one that is profound, intensely stirring, and not to be missed.”

-- Zanne Dailey, Director of Devotional Arts, Marin Covenant Church, San Rafael, CA


“Matt Beem's musical themes transcend generations. Matt's musical style is a voice that speaks to the heart of those who hear. His soulful Dylan-type sound evokes a deep emotional and spiritual response that knows no age barrier. His lyrics challenge and bring fresh insight to one's own spiritual journey.”

-- Mike Ricker, founder, A Prodigal's Home, Phoenix, AZ


“I am SO impressed with Matt’s new record. Somehow he is able to create great music while maintaining such a solid theological base under it all. The songs on “Blood” flow seamlessly from start to finish in a retelling of the Christian story as if they were church liturgy. Way to go Matt!”
-- Pastor Mary Bullis, Red Mountain United Methodist Church, Mesa, AZ
