Grammy Award winning songwriter and vocalist Bryan Duncan has had a 50+ year career that began in the Jesus Movement. His seminole group, The Sweet Comfort Band, helped launch modern CCM. After going solo in the mid 1980s, Bryan's soulful vocals, songwriting skills and fun personality, helped him to reach the upper echelon in the CCM world. In this in-depth two-part conversation, Bryan and I cover the earliest of days inside the Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa tent, all the way through to what he's doing today.  Bryan's honesty and dry wit made for a truly interesting conversation filled with insights gained by man who has the gift of being able to look back at where he's been. Bryan's music has been deeply meaningful to me for over 40 years, often bringing solace and comfort at just the right time. I am grateful for this other Bryan with a Y.  Part 2 will be released on Monday September 1, 2024. Bryan shares his thoughts as he looks back at his long career, and much more. AND there is a surprise appearance by the one and only Phil Keaggy with a special message for Bryan!  If you enjoy these meaningful and insightful conversations with artists like this one with Bryan, please share them with others. Thank you so much for listening to a simple guy who loves music and the people who make it.  This episode is dedicated to my wonderful son, Luke, who turns 19 today. I love you so much, Pally!!
