Sticky Jazz Interview Michael Passons / Ty Herndon
from Sticky Jazz · host jeremy Hinks
I got a text from my friend Ty Herndon about a new release he and some friends have just hit the world with. Michael Passons is the former vocalist for the top selling Christian chart topping band "Avalon". He was forced out of the band by refusing to go through conversion therapy. He came out of retirement from singing to re record this one with the true message of the lyrics with Ty Herndon and fellow Avalon bandmate Melissa Greene, and it went to the top of the Christian music charts, where NO-ONE was expecting it to go. The stir it caused on the internet brought out so much love and support as the comments were overwhelmingly positive, with so many people in the Christian music fanbase saying it helped them to find healing and once again beauty in a classic song. I got to interview Ty and Michael, and it was pretty monumental in the content. Also Ty and I managed to stay on target and not let our ADHD get us off on tangents. This was a wonderful interview and it belongs to anyone who is searching for healing outside of the traditional box of "Christian Values", as even the guys who wrote the song let them know that this was the true meaning of why they wrote it. SO, Happy Pride everyone, and enjoy. http://www.tyherndon.com/ http://www.michaelpassons.com/https://www.instagram.com/michaelpassons/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/melissagreene/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/tyherndonofficial/?hl=en#tyherndon #avalontheband #melissagreene #michaelpassons #gaysingers #testifytolove
