Eric Campuzano (The Prayer Chain) - Ep031

This week Scott is joined by Eric Campuzano; bassist for The
Prayer Chain. An alternative Christian-based band, The Prayer
Chain was formed in 1990 and have released 5 full-length studio
albums as well as several EPs, live albums, and
compilations. 


In this discussion, Scott talks to Eric about the early days of
the band. The period in which The Prayer Chain started was a
wildly shifting musical environment. With alternative and grunge
music on an upsurge, the Prayer Chain had a niche sound that
built their following in an organic way. Eric shares the
pressures that went along between the band and the label during a
turbulent time and how the band survived through it all.


This talk is a great example of perseverance in the face of the
adversity of the recording industry. The Prayer Chain's music has
been embraced on a personal level with  Christian and
non-Christian music fans alike. Their blend of lyrical subject
matter has a balance that all audiences can relate to. 


Also of note are the challenges the band faced from the
evangelical side of the industry. Eric has a great take on how
the band handled this and pushed forward.


We hope you enjoy Scott's talk with Eric Campuzano of The Prayer
Chain and SHARE with a friend!
