Katie Sax hands over her heart-opening premier album, Close Your Eyes

Portland newcomer, Katie Sax, shares a coming-of-age journey on her debut album, Close Your Eyes, with Portland’s BentBeat Productions. 

PORTLAND, OREGON, USA, September 15, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- No, Katie doesn’t play the sax, but she does get that question on occasion.  Growing up in a small town, and like many others, struggled with discouragement and gloom as she sought to find her place.  Everyone searches for a different outlet, and she was no different.  While sitting at her piano, Katie decided that her story needed a soundtrack. 

 
“I really needed to know who I was as a person, so I turned to music.”  Katie recalled, “To not sugar-coat it, I was depressed.  Music was my escape, the one thing I could turn to.  I guess you could say that I used it as my own, personal kind of therapy.” 
 
Katie’s story developed in the years following as she simultaneously grew as a songwriter and artist.  She was serving on the music team at her church-on-the-corner in Tigard, which is where she drew the attention of Dave Beatty at BentBeat Productions. 
 
“The BentBeat Team had just finished recording one of Katie’s early songs in February of 2020.  When, all the sudden, we had to change the way we went about preparing a full-length album,” said Beatty, referring to the pandemic shutdown that included music studios.  “I assigned producer Krista Westfall to collaborate with Katie.  They spent a lot of time working from home, writing and polishing the songs that would become Close Your Eyes.” 
 
The work features performances by Portland-area musicians such as: Jordan Sings (@jordansingspdx), regularly seen performing on the Portland International Airport concourses, on the duet “Til I Die,” pianist Tim Downing (Natalie Grant, Danny Gokey), guitar player Austin Kvalvik (Nathaniel Chapman, Matthew Aarness), and violinist Maddie Desmond, prominently appearing with Downing on both the title track, “Close Your Eyes,” and on the album’s first single, “Complicated.” 

“I am grateful to the team I worked with. Just being in the room as the songs grew and changed, was crazy in the best way.” Katie continued. “I really hope that people hear my music and find something that they can relate to on a deeper level than just another song on the radio.” 
 
Katie is looking forward to writing more songs, traveling and sharing her music everywhere she goes. 
 
You can find Katie at katiesax.com and on social media at @katie_sax 
 
Close Your Eyes album is available for sale on Amazon, and is streaming now on Apple Music, YouTube Music, Spotify and wherever you find great music.

Mike Brandow Releases Praise and Worship Album, "Redeemed"

Mike Brandow releases his first full-length Praise and Worship album, "Redeemed," with Portland-Based BentBeat Productions – available now on Amazon, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play and all major music sites.

Portland, OR, July 25, 2018 --(PR.com)-- BentBeat Productions announced today that Mike Brandow (mikebrandow.com) released his first full-length Praise and Worship album, “Redeemed.” Northwest-based Brandow has been a worship pastor for 17 years, and leading worship for over 23 years. He is currently based at East Side Baptist Church in Springfield, Oregon.

“Redeemed” is Mike’s first collaboration with Portland-based BentBeat Productions.  Brandow first came to the attention of producer Dave Beatty in 2016 through a songwriting workshop. “Mike’s music stood out head and shoulders among the submissions we saw that year,” said Beatty.  “We knew immediately upon listening to his work that he had something special.” 

The first song that caught the producer’s attention, “At the Cross,” became the featured acoustic track on the album.  During the studio recording, the team captured raw footage of the session. The result became a video edited and released this week on YouTube, coinciding with the release of the album.

“With ‘Redeemed’ we wanted to do call back to the days of album format releases, unlike what most digital listeners are consuming today,” said Beatty of the project. “Music audiences can easily pick and choose which tracks they want to play. While people can still enjoy downloads of individual songs with this album, we wanted to create an experience to hear the album from beginning to end. This album starts out amping up with ‘Ready’ and takes a journey through music and message all the way to ‘Great and Mighty’ as the final track.”

Along with being the album’s opening song, ‘Ready’ has another first for Brandow: His entire family participated in a single recording. His wife, Lisa, is featured as a vocalist, and his son Jayce participated in a choir that joins the two to finish the track. “It was really great to have my family join me.”  Brandow also added, “I want this album to be more than simply Christian music people listen to. I want it to be interactive and engaging. I want people to sing.”

Ahead of the album’s release, singles ‘Amazing Grace (Your Grace Alone)’ and ‘Forever Redeemer’ were made available on music streaming sites. “We were very humbled how people responded to his modern take on the old hymn and equally happy with the upbeat approach of ‘Forever Redeemer,’” Beatty said of the preview songs.

Each track features Brandow on vocals and guitars, with Lisa joining him as a vocalist on three of them.  “It was really wonderful to see how everyone came together to make this album,” said Beatty. “Mike and Lisa have been making music together for years, and having that chemistry added something really special to this project.” 

Local musicians from Oregon and Southwest Washington were also called upon to give specific tracks their own individual tonal palettes. “‘In Your Presence’ and ‘Endlessly’ come to mind as two extremely special songs because of the beautiful strings and piano that were added to each,” commented Beatty. “The multiple collaborations throughout this album really create an incredible listening experience from beginning to end.”

Brandow will be taking the stage at the Rock the Church Northwest Music Festival on Saturday.  The festival is free to attend and runs Friday and Saturday July 27-28, 2018 at Willis Tucker Amphitheater at 6705 Puget Park Drive, Snohomish, Washington.  More event info is available at rockthechurchnw.com
