Profess Interview Series: Blues Recording Artist The Rev. Jimmie Bratcher

Download this episode (41 min)   
This edition of the Profess Interview Series brings to you an exclusive conversation between C.E. Moore and blues artist, The Rev. Jimmie Bratcher. In our interview, Jimmy talks how he got his start in music, singing inside and outside of the church, the nature of blues music, his new album "The Electric Rev," and the parallel between the stories Jesus told and the stories we are telling now.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: Pastor, evangelist, author, singer, songwriter and guitarist, “The Rev” preaches in churches every Sunday, but on Saturday nights you’ll find him sharing his amazing testimony and blistering guitar licks onstage in blues clubs and at music festivals, prisons and biker rallies.

Bratcher’s brand of the blues has been embraced by the Christian market and the mainstream blues industry alike, allowing him to play at both Christian music festivals such as Creation East, Creation West Coast and Rock the Light, and at blues festivals such as Simply the Blues Festival and Boxcar Full of Blues. He has appeared at venues along with Christian artists including Mercy Me, Newsboys and Third Day, and with blues greats including Grammy winner and NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award winner David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Blues Music Award winners Zac Harmon and Otis Taylor, and Livin’ Blues Gold Award winner Hubert Sumlin, one of Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.”
