There is no artist that I've seen more in concert in my life or that better represents what UTR's mission is all about than Sir Eric Peters.  It's always a treat to visit with him (he might also be the most-interviewed artist by UTR of all time too).  This time around, we primarily talk about the making of his 10th studio album Far Side Of The Sea (releasing 6/14/16).  Besides 3 brand new songs by EP, we also …Read More »

Take a ride down memory lane and listen to when UTR was just a 3-month-old newborn radio show!  It's fun to see how things have changed ... and how things haven't.  Even 7 years ago you can hear that we were passionate about connecting listeners to well-crafted music.  It's also in Episode #16 that we play the music of Jeremy Casella for the first time!  ((Dave))

There may not be a better example of "gourmet music" than the hymns.  They are spiritually significant, transcend generational and denominational lines, and have stood the test of time.  I love hearing remakes of these classic songs, and often times it breaths new life into these vintage choruses.  One track that really blew me away was Steven Curtis Chapman's rootsy, down-home remake of "Blessed Assurance," which is one of my all-time favorite hymns.  We also love …Read More »
