Louisville’s weekly journal Velocity, published by the Gannet-owned Courier Journal, made “Holy Rock ‘n’ Rollers” their cover story in this week’s print and web edition.  The article explores the inroads Sojourn has made in the local music scene by bringing in credible indie acts to our venue, The 930 Art Center’s Listening  Room, and hosting some of Louisville’s best concerts over the last year (St. Francis of Assissi, the other Louisville church active in the music scene, is featured alongside Sojourn in the article).

And you can check out our Communication Director Kevin Janes’ smiling face, sitting on the floor of our stage at The 930 Art Center, in the article’s photo.  It’s an interesting piece that explores positive and negative reactions to church involvement in the arts, particularly music, with quotes from fans and bands, professors of music and religion, Kevin, and St. Francis’ Rev. Lou Meiman and Kevin Wilson.

In case you missed it, I interviewed Kevin last year in an in-depth Q&A session that covered the why-and-how of Sojourn’s foray into concert promotions, as well as issues pertaining to the secular versus sacred dichotomy, financial concerns and more.

What are your thoughts on some of these issues?
