FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER "Garden Grow" is FWC’s best attempt at providing a remedy to suffering - LOVE

“Garden Grow” marks the second of three singles from Portland, OR based FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER’s upcoming LP, Only Visiting. “Garden Grow” is FWC’s best attempt at providing a remedy to suffering – LOVE.

Recorded at the Center For Sound, Light, and Color (Y La Bamba, Rose City Band), mixed by Taylor Carroll (Cat Clyde, Big Thief, Train), and mastered by Timothy Stollenwork (Mississippi Records, Drugdealer).

Only Visiting releases on June 12th from CorpoRAT Records and will be followed by a covers/found tape release in July. Family Worship Center will tour the west coast of the US in June following the release of Only Visiting.

Family Worship Center is a rock-and-soul commune born in Nashville, Tennessee and reborn in Portland, Oregon. Fronted by visionary songwriter and keyboardist Andy Krissberg, the group draws its name from a strange, cult-leaning text unearthed during a cross-country field recording journey. An omen they’ve since transformed into a full-blown, groove-powered spiritual revival.

Their debut EP Sunday A.M. (produced by Grammy-winner Eddie Spear) introduced a lineup of heavy hitters with ties to The Band, Ringo Starr, and Deer Tick. Their 2023 full-length Kicked Out of the Garden, recorded across Portland, Philly, and Ukraine with producer Cameron Spies, spent eight weeks on the NACC 200 and landed the band on NPR’s Live Wire Radio and multiple year-end best-of lists. With a sound rooted in 1970s swagger, Leon Russell-style piano gospel, Southern rock, and communal soul, Family Worship Center brings their own throwback gospel to the people – complete with horns, harmonies, and secular salvation. Troy Nelson of KEXP called them “truly the best live band I have seen in years,” while The Portland Mercury described their show as “taking your ass to church” -and that’s exactly what they intend to do.
