After releasing two critically acclaimed discs "Moving on Faith"
(2004) and "Life on the Inside" (2006)and touring alongside
nationally known acts like Rebecca St. James and BarlowGirl,
Lavik’s latest effort represents a considerable change in direction
musically and thematically as he dives head first into the world of
hymns. Roots Run Deep features a cavalcade of familiar classics
such as “Come Thou Fount,” “I Surrender All,” “Turn Your Eyes
Upon Jesus,” “I Need Thee Every Hour,” “Take My Life” and
“Amazing Grace,” all supported by Lavik’s sturdy yet seemingly
effortless vocals. But just because the song titles may be recognizable,
listeners shouldn’t expect the melodies to sound too familiar.
“All the arrangements are unique, and some of them don’t sound
much like the originals,” Lavik explains. “I composed and produced
virtually the whole project, and I worked hard to present my
interpretation of each hymn. Roots provides a true representation
of who I am.”

I recently bought Jadon’s CDs. On a 22 hour car trip from Idaho to California I realized “tweeky” lap top speakers had been an injustice to his work. The artistry of a full studio accompaniment, over a sound system that supports the range of Jadon’s voice, and his lyrics became a whole new experience. Jadon, you turned 22 hours of loneliness and boredom into 22 hours of fellowship and worship. Thanks for being there.
