The Vine Press Release
Perhaps the band’s most ambitious album to date, THE VINE, is a bit of a musical metamorphosis for the group; experimenting with new instrumentations, more complex compositions, and for the first time, some entirely original material. “People have been asking us for years if we write our own stuff, and our answer has always been, ‘Yes, but we don't play it out much when we travel because people expect familiar hymns,” shares Brian Davison – Lead Vocalist. “After being encouraged by many of our fans to share those songs on a larger scale, we decided to put two original songs on this next CD.”
From the encouragement to serve others in the driving indie-epic, Lord Jesus, You Have Come in Love, to the promise of a heavenly reunion in the harmonica and guitar driven dirge, I Know of a Sleep, Koiné highlights the full breadth of their musical range. Another first on THE VINE is presented in showcasing the vocal and writing talents of Female Vocalist, Tracy Fedke, with Jesus, Refuge of the Weary.
The Vine also features exciting new arrangements of church favorites like Precious Lord Take My Hand, Go My Children with My Blessing, I am Jesus’ Little Lamb, Thy Strong Word, Christ Is the World's Light, and more.
Koiné is Brian Davision(Lead Vocals), Tracy Fedke(Backing Vocals), Benj Lawrenz(Guitar), Seth Bauer(Piano), Seth Kock(Drums), and Matt Scott(Bass).
Koiné continues to tour, sharing their unique music ministry in churches, schools, and at events throughout North America, and also continues to create and sell worship materials on their website. Koiné has sold over 35,000 copies of their CD’s to date. Their discography includes Koiné (Self-Titled), Gesangbuch, Church Bells, Anno Domini, and The Vine, all of which are available for download on iTunes, with CDs available from the band’s website www.koinemusic.com.
