An Interview with Michael Cochren

Published: July 22, 2022, 10 a.m.

On Sunday evening, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m. EDT, Redemption will host Gotee Records recording artist Cochren & Co. at Redemption's Jasper Campus. The Dove Award-nominated Cochren & Co. have toured coast to coast and recently completed a run on the arena-filling Hits Deep tour directly supporting TobyMac and Crowder. Their debut full-length album Don’t Lose Hope was released on Gotee Records in 2021 and includes the Billboard Top 10 Radio Hits "Church (Take Me Back)," "One Day," and "Who Can." The current single "Thank God For Sunday Morning" is heating up across airwaves and streaming platforms nationwide.

In this wide-ranging interview with Michael Cochren, he tells Redemption's Daniel Ross how music — and the music business — fits into his life, as well as how a kid can go from Montgomery, Indiana, to sharing the stage with the godfather of modern Christian Music, TobyMac. In addition, he talks about anxiety, pressures — and joys — of the music business, playing in post-hardcore/screamo bands/Warped Tour bands, and much more!
