Salford's Jonathan Ogden releases Psalms-inspired project 'By The Streams'

THE SINGER, songwriter and producer of the popular Salford-based band Rivers & Robots, Jonathan Ogden, has released an EP inspired by the Psalms. Said Ogden, "I began to write songs taken from the Psalms. These songs were more personal than the kind of songs I usually write. These are often songs sung in secret, about who God is and who I am to him. As much as I enjoy the process of recording a full album with the band in the studio and getting to sing them live with crowds of people, I wanted to capture the songs in the same way that they were written, in the secret place. I wanted to go back to the simplicity of being in my room with a guitar, piano and a laptop, recording the songs as they came out."
