Jennifer Knapp's debut album, Kansas' formidable success made her one of the most sought-after live performers in Christian music.
Then. at the very peak of her career, Jennifer Knapp quit the business, left the country, and didn't resurface until nearly a decade later. When she did come back, she had a story that would shock the evangelical world and force some uncomfortable, but healing conversations in the Church.
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jennifer Knapp joins Tammy D. to celebrate the upcoming re-release of her influential, critically-praised debut album, Kansas.
To mark the 25th Anniversary of the release of Kansas, Jennifer Knapp is releasing a reimagined version of Kansas for a new generation to cherish and appreciate.
On the podcast, we discuss, among other things:
How "Kansas 25" came about. What influenced Jennifer to re-issue Kansas and how it better reflects her current solo career.
The improvements she's made as a musician, especially as a guitarist.
The blowback she received from the evangelical community after coming out as a lesbian in 2010.
How she overcame her initial hostility to her evangelical past and learned to be comfortable singing the songs of Kansas again.
