Charlie Peacock at Signs of Life

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Charlie Peacock may be one of the most famous people you’ve never heard of.  He’s best known to many as the guy who wrote dcTalk’s smash hit “In the Light”.  But he is much more than that.  As a writer and as a record producer he has worked with most of the top names in contemporary Christian music of the past 25 years (see partial list below).  But he is much more than that.  He is an expert on John Coltrane and a jazz musician and improvizational pianist par excellence who has recorded with luminaries of the jazz world.  But he is much more than that.  Charlie is a deep thinker about life, art, culture, and what it means to follow Jesus.  He has a seminary degree and is the author of two books.  But he is much more than that.  He is a promoter of the arts, both performing and visual, and was the founder of an institution in the Nashville area called Art House.  But he is . . . well, you get the idea.

We are honored that Charlie has taken a day out of his current tour with Sara Groves, Derek Webb, and Brandon Heath to be with us for an evening.
