What a great evening this was!
SOLD OUT and even had people sitting in the hallway.
Some of the comments from the audience:
“You channeled Chapin tonight”
“I knew this was going to be good. I didn't know it was going to be great”!
“Felt like you were singing only to me!”
“Took me back to when I heard him in concert”!
The audience for the Chapin gig was nothing less than SUPERB! They enjoyed, not only the songs, but were excited to join in on, ‘Dreams Go By’ and ‘Circle’. Their help with the encore, ‘30,000lbs of Banana’s' was out of this world!
Thank you to all who attended and who made this possible.
Musician Line Up for that night: Drums: Tony Garrison; Bass: Mark Fisher; Cello: Gover Parido; Baritone (On Mr. Tanner): Andrew Thayer Sechrest.
Hope to do it again soon!

From info I have received, it looks like the songs, ‘Yeshua’ and ‘With All My Heart’ are the two most popular songs being used in ministries. Very honored and thankful for that!
In the Hebraic music genre, ‘O Damo Shel Yeshua’ has been the highest streaming song during the summer.
THANK YOU to all!
Thrilled to say I will be heading back to the studio to work on another album. SOJOURN will be similar in style to The Journey Album. Will be great working with Gold-Record Producer Michael Clark, again. Keep checking back with updates. Currently working on song selection.

!!NEW SINGLE RELEASE!!
In March I went into a new recording studio here in Columbus, Indiana with The Peace Band and recorded my song, ‘Our God Reigns' (It Is Good to Praise You, Lord). With a 60's kind of groove - what else would you expect from a band called, ‘Peace’? It has already recieved some excellent reviews! Please check it out and let us know what you think!
Here is what others thought:
“Sounds like the band 'AMERICA' ” “I hear some influence of ‘The STYX’. ”
“Sounds like it could have been in the movie, ‘JESUS REVOLUTION’ ”.
“The acoustic groove reminds me of music from the early 70's”
Available on Apple Music, Spotify and other fine streaming sites.
If you'd like to contribute and help fund these projects, please consider a donation. Thank you!
Lyrics and Lead Sheet to ‘Our God Reigns’ are available on my ‘Song Charts’ page. Lyrics and Chord charts are still available on CCLI, as well.

In September of 2023, I was honored to share the stage with two great bands, ‘Ragtop Deluxe’ and ‘The Toons’. I opened up the set with acoustic cover tunes from Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Don McLean a couple of my own and then had the Peace Band join me. Peace Band consists of dear friends and great musicians, Mark Neafus, Mark Fisher and Tony Garrison. But the biggest thrill was to be able to play, once again in The Crump Theater, an Historical Landmark in Columbus, Indiana. It had been closed for several years, due to safety issues. With help from the community and various foundations, it has been re-opened. Was a great night. Here are a few pics. Photos courtesy Craig Dearing Photography.

"Sechrest fleshes out themes that are occupied with the primary and essential things in life. He doesn’t broadly look at the jigsaw puzzle, instead he picks out little pieces and scrutinizes how and why each piece does or doesn’t fit the big picture. Michael Clark’s elegant production allows these songs to breathe freely, and Dale’s voice to deservedly stand out front and center. Close-up and personal, “The Journey” is a truly fulfilling listening experience."
