Phil Laeger speaks to Bramwell Ryan
H
e’s like a young Billy Joel - a piano man who goes it alone with hard-wrought songs about love, faith, questions and actions. Phil Laeger, 29, is not only
studying music in Boston, he’s making it and people throughout The Salvation Army and elsewhere are listening and paying attention. Bramwell Ryan, editor of theRubicon, recently interviewed Laeger about his music for this Areopagus episode. The focus is on three songs that best capture how Laeger is trying to shape the world through his craft. To listen to this mix of music and words, click on the arrow below. Or click here to download this episode from the Areopagus podcast section on iTunes. A pdf with the lyrics of the three profiled songs can be downloaded here. Runs: 12:15
A note about the audio quality - this interview was conducted using VOIP (i.e. over the internet). As is often the case, the technology didn’t work as well as it should and accordingly there is some line noise - sorry.

Beautiful. That was a great feature, a peaceful and powerful way to end my day.
Phil’s music has been an incredible blessing in my life. I’m not sure we’ll ever truly appreciate how gifted he is and how much he adds to the Army worship.
Well done.
A terrific post/article/podcast you have presented today. I am a devoted Phil Laeger fan, his poetry melds with his melody and harmony base so well. A great word you bring today - thank you!
