Nick talks with Andy Squyres about his new record “Poet Priest,” creative sustainability, and “respecting the listener.” The two talk about Andy’s lyrical and musical influences for the new record, pursuing music as a family man, and what it looks like to have faith in a culture increasingly critical of evangelical Christianity.

Andy Squyres is a pastor and songwriter from North Carolina. In 2015 he released his first record, “Cherry Blossoms,” which was written and released after the murder of a friend, and the emotional and spiritual wrestling that took place in the wake of his friend’s death. His brand new album “Poet Priest” was released on February 25th to critical acclaim. Andy might be the “Christian songwriters’ favorite songwriter,” and he may or may not like Garth Brooks.
