Three Up

Three Up writes songs that don’t fit into any convenient cubbyhole. Therefore we’re calling what we do, “Christgressive Worship Music.”

It seems each month, there are more restrictions on my account at N1M. I understand, they need money to exist, but expecting the person who makes the product this site lives off of, to pay the bills is something I won’t go with. If the time comes that Three Up disappears, please know how much I appreciate those who have sent kind words, and gave time to listen. May the Lord, through our Holy Spirit, be always with you!

I am only allowed three songs to be available at one time. I’ve got a feeling you want “Our Father” available on a regular basis. Is there an older song you’d like to hear again? Let me know!

It’s been over a year since my last band broke up. I’ve been in working bands since the age of sixteen, and always thought I would be. The guys have been lifetime friends, and kept pulling me back into music dozens of times. Only problem was, none of them were original, and the older we got, the less they wanted to be original. So, when the last band broke up, I decided to never sing a cover song again! With that, I turned it all over to the Holy Spirit and boom, nobody wanted to play with me anymore! LOL. And you know, nothing has ever been more freeing! Thank you Jesus for setting me free!

Swimmin’ Dirty Water was inspired by a biography of Blues Harmonica Legend, Little Walter. He was wandering one night in an unfamiliar part of town and passed a Baptist Church. The beautiful music coming out of it lured him inside. He was so overcome, he got himself baptized! How the banjo wound up in the song is pure conjecture, but I can’t hear it any other way now. Hope you are blessed today my fellow lovers of Jesus!
