Joel's musical talent shines as he sings his heart to God.
Reviewer: David Witt
"Depravity, Grace and Reckless Abandon" speaks the heart of the Gospel. From the freedom of forgiveness of sin, to the fellowship of sufferings, this CD presents lyric truth and hope. Joel Bidderman's musical talent shines as he sings his heart to God. Anyone listening to this CD will be drawn into the worship and their hearts will be lifted up in adoration of Christ. As I think of this CD and Joel's witness to the Gospel I am reminded of Philippians 3:10, "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings..." I believe Joel's music will give the listener greater insight into those words. Pastor David Witt The Voice of the Martyrs - CD Baby

Joel Bidderman’s latest release, Depravity, Grace and Reckless Abandon, is a heartfelt compilation of sincere music to God. Joel has the amazing ability to convey a Godly message in a very down to earth manner. Catchy rhythms, excellent guitar playing and prayerful lyrics are found throughout this release. I count this as Joel’s best work to date. Ron Everingham KNNB Apache Radio, Whiteriver, AZ - Ron Everingham KNNB Radio Arizona

"Today is the first day of your life because it has never been before, and the last day because it will never be again. Be alive, if you can, all through this day, today of your life." Frederick Buechner, "The Alphabet of Grace"
My name is Joel Bidderman. I'm from Arizona, and I most identify myself with the White Mountain area because most of my early defining moments happened to me there. I'm a mountain boy, which in order to "get" me or my music, first you'll have to know that. My favorite place is nature. Another thing that must be understood is that my life is all about what I was created for. That is: a relationship with God. I believe God really speaks to me, and while I'm not always at all good at hearing, I believe that God likes me. I really like Jazz and Blues music, but most of what I write ends up sounding like folk. That's cool, but I try as much as I can to put my influences into it. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't, but I have fun at it.
I've been writing, performing and recording music for a little over 10 years now. I have about 4 CD projects and I'm still making more. I also lead worship for churches, youth groups, colleges, random gatherings, and of course I play for coffee houses. I've opened for Dana Key (DeGarmo & Key), Shaded Red and other people that you may or may not have heard of. I prefer intimate settings where I can share the story behind the songs, and the journey that led me to write them.
