  Finding Your Sound with Brandon Moore

  Sep 21, 20261h 43mS2

  In this episode, Jay and Josh sit down with Brandon Moore to hear his story of going from barely knowing what a bass was to serving regularly on a worship team just six years later. Brandon shares how God met him during a difficult season of life, how he found his way into worship bass, and the lessons he’s learned along the way about preparation, developing your ear, playing without charts, finding your own style, and handling mistakes on Sunday morning. They also talk about the role of the bass in leading worship, working with your sound engineer, building relationships with your worship team, Brandon’s gear and pedalboard, his love for Sade bassist Paul Denman, and plenty of other bass nerd topics along the way. It’s a conversation about music, worship, growth, and remembering that the gift of playing bass is ultimately about something much bigger than getting every note right. So grab your coffee, grab your bass, and let’s get into it!
