Arkansas Stories

When people hear me sing “Arkansas”, I often get asked what I have against Arkansas.  I stick by my story that the state wasn’t really the inspiration for the song.   Although I draw on references to lots of things in the state, it is really a thickly veiled metaphor for something else.   It’s something that I’ve not shared with anyone.

Hallels Interview

When was the last time have you heard Genesis 1 and the book of Revelation being told in songs?  God has gifted singer-songwriter Art Wheeler the unique gift of taking stories, some from Scripture and some of his own creation, and setting them into music.  Art has just released his album of story songs last year entitled “6 Minutes After 7.”  This year, he has just released a brand new single “Creation.”  We are honored to be able to catch up with Art for this exclusive Hallels’ interview: 

Hallels:  Thanks Art for your time.  For readers who may not be familiar, how would you describe your music?   

Thanks for the opportunity to talk about my music.  First, my music has Christian themes.  As far as style, it is hard to put it in one category.  The majority if it has more in common with the country rock of the early 1970’s but it also has a strong folk influence.  I try to maintain a humorous tone to my music whenever it is appropriate.
