=== Love Is Strong Message (02:23) ===

[00:00:07]  Hi everyone, welcome to the Backstage Show with Ricky and Marie.
[00:00:11]  Today we have the incredibly talented Jason Crabb with us.
[00:00:15]  Hey!
[00:00:15]  How are you doing today?
[00:00:16]  Man, I'm having a blast.
[00:00:17]  Now Jason, if you guys don't know, he has received the Grammy for Christian Music Artists and the 2012 Male Vocalist of the Year.
[00:00:26]  Yes.
[00:00:27]  Correct.
[00:00:27]  That's crazy.
[00:00:28]  Now you have a new CD out.
[00:00:29]  We have a brand new CD out.
[00:00:31]  It's called Love is Strong.
[00:00:33]  And Jason, what was your message behind the CD?
[00:00:37]  Well, you know, we want to, it took us two years to put this together.
[00:00:43]  Wow.
[00:00:44]  And we had three different producers on this record picking songs, going through songs, looking for the right thing.
[00:00:52]  We've actually listened to the CD multiple times.
[00:00:54]  And one thing I was going to say to the audience and to you, for thank you for the CD is for all ages, we noticed.
[00:01:00]  There's more, like, I don't know if you want to hear more contemporary.
[00:01:03]  Yeah.
[00:01:03]  But that's me and Ricky.
[00:01:05]  We're enjoying it.
[00:01:05]  We were listening multiple times.
[00:01:07]  We loved it.
[00:01:08]  Thank you.
[00:01:09]  Say it one more time.
[00:01:10]  The CD is for all ages.
[00:01:13]  Everyone.
[00:01:13]  That's so true.
[00:01:14]  Mission accomplished.
[00:01:16]  How was that switch from like southern gospel to contemporary?
[00:01:20]  It's a big switch.
[00:01:23]  And to make it all blend on one record to not look like a monster or sound like a monster because, you know, it's like, anyway.
[00:01:31]  Now, there's another little secret I think I'm hearing.
[00:01:34]  Is it true that you're going to be in a movie?
[00:01:36]  Oh, wow.
[00:01:37]  Is that true?
[00:01:38]  Yeah, we did a movie called Inspiration Pop, which is really cool.
[00:01:43]  You know, it's about keeping your faith and having faith in what you believe in.
[00:01:48]  And, you know, I've always wanted to do that.
[00:01:52]  And so there was an independent film that was going to be filmed.
[00:01:56]  It's faith-based.
[00:01:57]  Faith-based.
[00:01:58]  And that's coming out this year.
[00:02:00]  It's fun.
[00:02:00]  Is there anything that you tell a young artist trying to make it big in the music industry?
[00:02:04]  Like a key point that you tell him how to stay strong?
[00:02:08]  Yeah, you know, the thing is, is if I think in the beginning stages of searching your destiny out, your career or whatever, you never know where God's going to lead you.

=== Singing 300 Homes (00:57) ===

[00:02:20]  But here's the key.
[00:02:23]  You have to sing every place, you know, I mean, I'm talking about that will allow you to come and sing.
[00:02:30]  Sometimes you have to knock on doors and say, hey, you know, I want to go and I want to sing you my songs.
[00:02:37]  What do you think?
[00:02:39]  So, you know, we started in nursing homes, funeral homes, mobile homes, every kind of home that you can imagine, you know.
[00:02:48]  That's awesome.
[00:02:49]  And so that's just where you keep doing it.
[00:02:51]  You keep singing, you sing, you sing.
[00:02:53]  We sang 300 dates.
[00:02:55]  I guarantee you 300 dates the first year.
[00:02:58]  And I'm not exaggerating.
[00:02:59]  Maybe even more than that because it was sometimes we sang in three places one time in one day.
[00:03:04]  Three places.
[00:03:06]  We just sang, sang, sang, and sang.
[00:03:07]  So just don't get discouraged.
[00:03:09]  Well, thank you so much for doing this interview with us today.
[00:03:12]  Thank you.
[00:03:12]  Y'all are awesome.
