Elias Dummer

After three years, my new album, The Work Vol 2, is available TODAY! Worship music can sometimes feel like disconnected songs about disconnected ideas. This stubbornly hopeful record is anything but that. It has been a labour of love, collaboration, and real life lived.

@daniel_acuff Hey, thanks! I've met and interacted with Andy — huge fan!

@eliasdummer Hi Elias! Just wanted to say your music inspires me in my walk like Strahan and Andy Squyres. Have enjoyed discovering your songs and look forward to many more! Your in great company brother! Do you ever listen to them? How about Seeker and Servant? ... they retired sadly. :)

Hey Ontario! Excited for this full-band show (with some familiar faces from @TheCityHarmonic ) on April 13th in Listowel. Be there or be square, or something. eventbrite.ca/e/elias-dummer…

@drleahpayne Given the criteria, it probably needs it be something produced by Max Martin.

Good people of Twitter/X: I’m giving a lecture soon and I need an example of one perfect mainstream/general market pop song. Any ideas?

So, does Ke$ha still wake up feeling like P.Diddy? or....

I was invited to share a talk at @churchfront last Fall, looking under the hood of the business of #Worship music. It's now on YouTube. Enjoy! youtu.be/-4u0IRIlN1k?si…

It’s a niche journal, and it took almost two years to get published, but IT’S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! (@worshipresearch @adam_a_perez @Tapper1Mike @eliasdummer, with special shoutout to @jl_ruth)

Latest @worshipresearch article just dropped, and it’s one of the angles from our survey that hit me most closely in the chest. As one respondent said: (1 of 3)

Launching a new thing on the photo/video/clock apps tomorrow. Should be fun. It is dummer than most things I do.

I just learned that an A.I. music reviewer associated my song 'Carry' with #Skyrim. Somehow, I've never felt more seen. "This song has me feeling like I'm in a gaming trance. "I wanna play Skyrim," I said.

Had a great time at @gmacanada Covenant Awards. Congrats to all, and thanks for sending me home with 'Male Vocalist of the Year' and 'Rock Artist of the Year.' To quote my favourite album review from @thecityharmonic years, "kids have never rocked out so hard to music so soft."

If you've had any nagging questions about @worshipresearch - ask away! I'll do my best in the coming days to answer as many as I can (and pull in teammates from time to time). #worshipmusic #worshipleader

To quote the great Western philosopher, T.Swift: "It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me." Look, we grapple with serious issues. But as we approach each other to solve them, we must come with humility, love and mercy, or we're fooling ourselves. This is a song about that.

Worship leaders choose streaming over radio, shaping Christian music powerfully. But does it matter? We examine attitudes towards new song discovery and reveal how tech and the persistent preferences of 'Becky' may still guide the Sunday songbook. worshipleaderresearch.com/from-the-playl…

🚨NEW🚨 Worship Leaders report they are more likely to consider a song heard via streaming than radio, but does Becky have her toe on the algorithmic scales? worshipleaderresearch.com/from-the-playl…

@hillakilla09 That right there is the point: "I am my own gatekeeper."

@eliasdummer I think for a while I've let Christian radio get in my head (metaphorically, I never listen to it in reality), so it was actually heartening to read that my congregation isn't as influenced by it as I think. I am my own gatekeeper.

So I shouldn't be so concerned about Christian radio when making song selections, but also Christian radio is important

There’s a twist here that I did NOT see comin’! 👀

@andrewculver @rendcollective @RedeemerUniv Definitely tons of fun

@eliasdummer @rendcollective @RedeemerUniv Looks amazing! Wish I could have been there!

I haven't played in my hometown since 2017 and you made coming home such a wild joy for me. It's GOOD to be back, #HamOnt ! What an incredible couple of nights supporting my friends in @rendcollective at @RedeemerUniv!
