Acoustic

The Wayward Kind is an acoustic driven rock band that proudly hails from the Midwestern state of Kansas. Formed in early 2018 after vocalist/guitarist Jeremy Stokely returned home from a deployment to the Middle East with a handful of songs that were written with a thankful heart. The Wayward Kind represents and roots for the lost sheep that God continues to chase and will stop at nothing to get back…because we all need saving.

Grew up in a very small town in rural Wisconsin. I was forced into playing music at school and started writing songs during my teen years but never with the intent of using them. Now many years later God has taken my music across the country and I am humbled to be able to use my gifts for His glory.

It's my hearts desire to see as many reach with The Gospel as possible. In particular the next few generations coming up- not withstanding my own generation. I feel like the nature of my testimony and the way Christ has chosen to use that to the advancement of His Kingdom is crucial in the present landscape of the world. Music has very graciously been the way Christ has allowed me to convey His message of Salvation in my life.

Rich Tuttle is a singer songwriter based in the Kansas City area. Like the bards of old, he seeks to craft stories through poetry and music that simultaneously entertain and illumine. Songs that run deep with grace and truth. Songs that stir up unsatisfied longing, desire tinged with unexpected joy and fear of the unfamiliar. Songs that join wonder and beauty to draw back the veil for a glimpse beyond this world.

Randy Seedorff & Soul Purpose came together in 2010, with the goal of bringing the love of God, through the vehicle of music, to as many people as possible. We understand music breaks down barriers, and reaches people right where they are at. Often, people who have not been reached any other way. Randy has been working on his third studio album, an EP, Elevate, planned for release this summer. Six of the seven songs are Randy's originals, with one by British worship leader and friend Shane Rootes. Following a hiatus of several months, Soul Purpose is rested and ready to play!
