Phillips, Craig & Dean - Perfect harmonies and unified hearts: the story of CCM's most beloved trio.
Psalm 133 says, “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity.” That verse accurately describes my guests today - Phillips, Craig and Dean! Their vocal harmonies and catalogue will be remembered as some of the most loved in CCM history, but more than that they are some of the best men I’ve ever been around, true brothers with a common heart and vision.

Leon Patillo: From Santana to CCM, no one impacted Christian music quite like Leon
My guest today had some of the biggest hits in Christian Music in the 1980s. Leaving a successful career as the lead singer for Santana, Leon Patillo became one of the most celebrated artists in CCM history. This is one of the most honest and raw conversations I’ve had to date and every minute of it is a reflection of God’s grace.

Mike Donehey: Tenth Ave North’s frontman is the definition of a CCM Renaissance Man
Unquestionably one of the best bands in Christian music in the 2000s was Tenth Avenue North. Their front man, Mike Donehey, is my guest today and he joins me to talk about their career and why things are much different in the music industry than they were 20 years ago. Mike has a lot to say about an artist’s calling and the necessity for deep friendship.

Michelle Tumes: There’s never been anyone quite like Michelle in the history of Christian music, and that’s a good thing!
That voice, those songs, that musical vibe that took over Christian radio in the late 1990s. They all belong to my friend Michelle Tumes, who wrote hit songs for Point of Grace and Jaci Velasquez, just to name a few, but also carved out her own legacy as one of the most unique and beloved CCM artists of all time. It was great fun catching up with her and I'm glad you could come along for the ride.
From touring in the group 4Him to working as a worship pastor to leading a radio show, I've had the opportunity to be a part of the Christian Music industry for the last four decades. I'm Andy Chrisman and I've had the unique opportunity to tour with, record with, and become friends with just about everyone within the Christian Music industry. I think this makes me the perfect person to tell their stories. Welcome to 1 Degree of Andy!
