Joel Bidderman

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember early memories of jazz vocal bands and gospel, but the first music that really captured my imagination were soundtracks from movies in the 80's that threw back to decades earlier (i.e. Stand By Me, Back to the Future, etc.) What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? James Taylor, American Standard Rich Mullins, A Liturgy, A Legacy & A Ragamuffin Band The Swell Season, Strict Joy (Bonus Track Version) I'm a words and melody guy. I gravitate toward music where those two elements play and dance together. While not always the case, folk often is the genre for me that gives room for that to happen. These three albums are go-to's for me. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Coffee Song” Coffee Song is one of my favorite, laid back, optimistic vibe, sit-back-and-enjoy-life, tunes. I wrote it to drink coffee to, and get into a headspace to love others. I hope you enjoy it!
