About Local Sound
Local Sound is a Nashville-based band born from MyLocal, a growing movement of discipleship spread across multiple states and countries that is hyper-focused on developing leaders who plant churches right in their own neighborhoods.
The band is made of Jared Runion, Alexis Butcher, Drew Harrison, Emily Wyant, Danny Lopez and Garrett Tyler, infusing a wealth of diversity and musical influences into their sound. Local Sound’s music is the embodiment of their daily involvement in Church, breaking down misconceptions and reservations one song at a time with bold optimism and wild imagination as they build up one another in love.
The “local” in Local Sound speaks to the roots of who the group is and why they do what they do. Jared explains: “We fully back God's dream for the local church and we believe that God designed the local church as ‘plan A’—to immerse the world in His culture. We were never intended to be the products of temporary culture… we were made to be distributors of an eternal one.”
The “sound” portion of the band’s name reflects the members’ heart and passion to unite the Word of God with high energy, innovative music that reaches the world.
Local Sound believe that they have been called to spread the Gospel through relevant, inspiring and message-driven songs that express the joy found in a life fully devoted to Christ. Beyond a band they seek to be culture creators reflecting God’s abundant creativity and distributing the Kingdom’s culture wherever they go. “We know our identity is found in the hope of Jesus Christ,” Jared adds. “And as key holders to the kingdom of heaven, we do whatever it takes to bring people to Jesus by glorifying God with all that we have.”
