Where I Am Right Now
Centricity Music

Jared Anderson, one of Christian music’s notable songwriters, has released a new Extended Play (EP) album on Centricity Music, his first for them. “Where I Am Right Now” contains five songs, including the powerful “Almighty,” co-written with Ed Cash and performed and recorded by Chris Tomlin at Passion 2014. A 14-song CD, “Where I Am Right Now,” also is available, but only at Anderson’s tour dates.

The title song is highly personal and speaks of obedience to God’s calling. Anderson confesses that the two jobs he’d promised himself he would never hold were worship leader and Christian music artist.

Following his graduation in 2001 he reluctantly agreed to help with music in his home church. Then in 2005, a time he describes as “the year of obedience,” Anderson realized God’s calling on his life wasn’t just on his actions, but also on his will. And yes, both of those jobs quickly became his vocations and his passion.

The rest of the EP covers a broad range of styles, from the decidedly doo-wop feel of “Sweet Salvation,” to a delicate piano ballad in “Forgiven,” and even a foot-stomping anthem in “Overboard.”
