Josh Baldwin has been a member of the world-renowned GRAMMY-nominated, 11-time Dove Award-winning Bethel Music collective since 2014, releasing his bestselling full-length label debut, The War Is Over, in 2017. Bethel Music is set to release their much-anticipated forthcoming album, Come Up Here, tomorrow (Mar 17). Captured live in the heart of the Redwoods of Northern California, Come Up Here embodies everything that Bethel Music stands for musically, lyrically, and visually. With the breathtaking Redwood Forest as a backdrop, Come Up Here, is an invitation to look up and take in the full magnificence of the celestial evergreens and reflect on the beauty of God’s glory. The stunning cinematography paired with songs that move the soul to respond make this project the most extraordinary endeavor Bethel Music has ever taken on. The hope is that as each song is heard, the presence of the living God takes over whatever space the listener is in, and that they are able to encounter Him in a way never thought possible.
This spring, Bethel Music will embark on a series of worship nights throughout the US and Europe/UK. These dates will feature new songs from Come Up Here as well as the well-known anthems sung in churches around the world which Bethel Music has become known for. While his Bethel Music family is touring the worship nights series, Josh will be joining Pat Barrett on his Acoustic Nights Tour.
In this TCB exclusive, Josh shares the impact he felt while recording Come Up Here live in nature, and the coordination it took to make this extraordinary venture happen. Josh also highlights his song off the compilation project (“Time After Time”), as well as tracks that stand out to him (David Funk’s “Beauty” and Hannah McClure & Amanda Cook’s “Precious Blood”). Josh previews who he hopes sings his songs on Bethel Music’s Worship Nights, while he is out touring with Pat Barrett. And finally, Josh teases new music coming throughout 2023.
