A 20+ year music industry veteran, Derek Webb has sold millions of albums as a founding member of Texas-based folk/rock band Caedmon’s Call and ruffled political & spiritual feathers alike during his nearly 20-year solo career. He is also founder of the revolutionary tribe-building platform NoiseTrade (acquired by Paste Magazine in 2019), MiddleClassMusician.com, an online course crafted to teach artists how to make both music & money, and The Airing of Grief podcast, discussing stories of spiritual de & reconstruction. His album TARGETS, a defiantly joyous rock n roll album about love and unbelief, was released into the world in February of 2020. The record is an intimate ode to freedom, weaving through Webb’s personal stories, questions, fears, and experiences. In 2021, Webb embarked on a journey to conceptualize, write, and record his new album, The Jesus Hypothesis, live and in real-time through the membership platform, Patreon. Here, patrons get a unique insider’s look at the process of making an album and exploring belief through livestreamed writing sessions, demos of the songs, and behind-the-scenes commentary in a bi-weekly podcast.
