The mysteries of God and life is the self-imposed description given to me by Auckland singer-songwriter Stahan Coleman. One of the highlights of the recent Parachute Music Fesitval in Hamilton, Strahan’s honest song of the mysteries of God and life is more an alm to a tattered soul than an instruction or a message to be preached.

When you first take the CD out of the handmade case and press play on the CD player the acoustic-folk tunes may remind you of Leeland, Jon Foreman or even a brighter side of Stu Larsen, but Strahan carries his own story and his own beat aptly. Recorded with the help of New Zealand’s Dave Baxter of pop-rock band Avalanche City, Strahan’s EP Water & Fire holds true to his raw style but sounds beautiful.

“The songs are an honest representation of where my hearts been at for some time, knowing that God can resurrect anyone and bring new life but waiting for him to bring it about” says Coleman.

Strahan continues on his Facebook page “These are not songs of a preacher. They’re not ballads to lilting love. These are just alms to that old, worn faith. Skin for the skeleton. The sound of someone looking for a resurrection. From the opening throes of ‘Hallelujah’ to the closing refrain of ‘Resurrection Song’, Water and Fire is the sound of someone who travels with dust on his feet, connected to the earth, but eyeing heaven. “

Expect an Australian tour from Strahan in the near future or grab his EP Water & Fire now and enjoy a passionate worship experience with this kiwi folk kid.
