Dale Sechrest

I play guitar and sing, sometimes use a harmonica.

When I give a 'Concert' I play mostly my songs with one or two cover songs.

When I am asked to play at a Christian event, or, retreat, I usually play Contemporary with a mix of a few hymns.

When I am asked to play and share my own testimonies, or, life experiences of what God has done in my life, again, I usually give background to my songs, play a few cover songs that people would recognize and share how God brought me through the dark times of losing a spouse, going through a divorce with children, playing on a sidewalk and the people you meet, the process of being a musician.

Singer Songwriter/ Folk / Christian / Messianic / Americana

My journey with music has enabled me to meet a lot of great people - From being an extra in the movie, 'Breaking Away'; to playing a song for Jim Nabors; having a chat with with the 'real' Batman: Adam West on a tv set; playing music on the sidewalks, bars, dinner cruises, television, radio, my music has allowed me many wonderful opportunities.
My first CD was 'Speed of Light', of which the title track was played on many radio stations on full rotation.
My second CD was all acoustic. 'Worship' came about after a couple of people from church asked me to record some music that may assist them in their prayer time. A very simple recording with very personal songs.

In 2015 I recorded 'The Journey' with producer Michael Clark and musicians; Troye Kinnett (Mellancamp), Steve Dokken (Sandi Patty). 'It's All About Love' and 'With All My Heart', has been heard on radio stations. 'It's All About Love', has also been used for a radio spot for New Song Mission, a refuge for modern-day orphans and the fatherless in Indiana. 'With all my Heart' is a theme song for Charlotte Diocese 2021 Annual Appeal; the Christian Ministry, 'Art of Invitation'. It's also being used in numerous churches.

In 2017, I started working with a Rabbi, who prompted me to do a solo recording of several Hebraic songs, so 'Judah' was recorded. As a follow-up, 'Chesed' was released in 2021.

As of mid 2018 I am connected with half dozen ministries and churches and still do occasional fund-raisers, concerts. I'm also available for seminars, events and continually fill in as a 'Guest Worship Leader' at various churches.

I am able to give Solo performances, or, with a full band.
