With the recording of his 14th album, Where the Earth Makes No Sound, Mitch McVicker has taken the road less traveled while also deciding to go down a path he had previously chosen years ago. 

Both. 

McVicker calls his new album Where the Earth Makes No Sound because he believes God’s involvement in our lives surrounds us from every angle. It’s infinite and boundless. When sound is not present, some people find refuge in the silence. At the same time, others long for the silence to be broken. Where the Earth Makes No Sound deals with refuge and longing. 

Both. 

“God is love. God is involvement. For us to think that our life situation and our performance have a bearing on who God is seems arrogant and ridiculous,” says McVicker. “We yearn, we rest. We long, we take refuge. God is the source of everything.” 

“We are talking about the God of the universe. God isn’t around just sometimes in certain situations. It’s always. God isn’t contained by our boundaries.” 

McVicker’s vocational musical journey began by working with the late, great Rich Mullins. They performed concerts and wrote songs together. The two were roommates. 

Shortly after a car wreck killed Mullins and badly injured McVicker, a song the two penned together, “My Deliverer,” was given the GMA Dove Award for song of the year...all while Mitch was going through a lengthy and difficult process of recovering from a coma-causing brain injury, collapsed lungs, broken bones, and nerve damage. 

After his recovery, Mitch continued his musical career, influenced by Rich Mullins in music and thought yet with his own distinct voice and style. 

McVicker’s solo career has spanned nearly 2500 concerts in 49 states and 13 countries. Along with recording 13 full-length albums, he has made 2 EPs, released 9 official music videos and 2 live concert DVDs. 

McVicker seems determined to make sure his musical journey continues to grow. In creating Where the Earth Makes No Sound, he returned to a recording situation he had previously thrived in and loves.
