PIQUA — Mitch McVicker will perform at Stonebridge Community Church, at 105 E. Greene St. in Piqua on Monday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. in support of his 14th album “Where the Earth Makes No Sound.”

McVicker said the album’s title comes from his belief in God’s involvement in our lives which surrounds us from every angle. It’s infinite and boundless.

“God is love, God is involvement. For us to think that our life situation and our performance have a bearing on who God is seems arrogant and ridiculous,” he said. “We yearn, we rest, we long, we take refuge. God is the source of everything.”

McVicker’s vocational musical journey began by working with his friend, roommate, and collaborator Rich Mullins. In September of 1997, the two were traveling from Chicago to Wichita, when their vehicle swerved off the road, resulting in Mullins’ death.

Shortly after the wreck which badly injured McVicker, a song the two penned together, “My Deliverer,” was given the GMA Dove Award for song of the year…all while Mitch was going through a lengthy and difficult process of recovering from a coma-causing brain injury, collapsed lungs, broken bones, and nerve damage.

After his recovery, Mitch continued his musical career, influenced by Mullins, yet with his distinct voice and style.

McVicker’s solo career has spanned nearly 2500 concerts in 49 states and 13 countries. Along with recording 13 full-length albums, he has made 2 EPs, and released nine official music videos and two live concert DVDs.

“I hope the concerts I do will raise spirits and direct attention toward the good,” he said. “These songs have been born out of life experience and deal with questions, wonderings, conflicts, struggles, and the love that engulfs all things. My longing and my refuge are expressed in these songs almost simultaneously.”
