A few days ago I received an email from a rather soft-spoken musician named Sean Dietrich. He had some kind words to say about the site and wanted to share his music with everyone. Ah Ha! I thought… This is nothing more than a sales pitch. I went to his website to check it out and was somewhat impressed. Sean offers all of his music for free. I have listened to several tracks and it is obvious that he has is inspired to play. Of course I am somewhat jealous of anyone that can play instruments and sing :)
Sean draws on our good ole friend Jesus for inspiration as is evident from songs like "I Wanna Be A Christian" and "All I Need Is Jesus". But what’s kind of surprising is his sense of humor with respects to Christianity in the song, "Just Plain Nuts".
While I don’t enjoy Christian music on any level, I can certainly appreciate Sean’s passion that manifests itself in his work. Even if this type of music doesn’t interest you, take a look at his site, read his blog, and listen to the music. Sean is certainly an interesting person and has something positive to offer… and that’s always a good thing, regardless of your religious preference.

I admire his piano/guitar and singing abilities as well as his rational-Christian message. I also admire his willingness to open himself up to criticism. First, I’m not a big fan of his style of music; it’s far too vocal-centric for me. I’m the type of person who doesn’t give a damn about lyrics. I’ve got CDs that are definitely Christian rock and others that are atheistic and even anti-Christian. Words are not what I listen to music for.
Also, the rhythm section (drums and bass in particular) are way too bland for my tastes. In his songs they seem to only exist to help carry his voice and preserve the timing. My guess is he is either using a drum machine or is playing all of the instruments on each track. Either way, it is a mistake for that style of music.
My criticisms aside, I definitely think Sean can find an audience. I’ll have to suggest him to my Mother, who would probably love it.
Perhaps we may have the rep for Ask A Christian?
Yeah, just by listening to his music I can see he was definitely influenced be Keith Green (not a bad thing at all).
If you like his sort of “rational Chrisitan” message may I suggest Chris Rice? I know this is far from the place to pimp Christian music (most of which is pap, of course most secualr music is too) but just thought I’d throw that out there.
Hmmm … I liked “Just Plain Nuts”. It has a strangely (and pleasantly) lighthearted and self-critical message for a Christian song.
Sean Deitrich does have good vocal and piano-playing talent IMO. Certainly more than me anyways. (maybe that’s not saying much :P )
+1 for Chris Rice! :)
