Denny Brownlee has been delighting audiences for nearly three… hours, over the past 30 years.  God calls Denny His “Joy Bringer.”  Satan has other names for him, which we won’t go into.

When Denny was five years old, he did his first voice impression – Jimmy Cagney, to a packed living room of grownups.  When he was still in kindergarten, he did a crayon drawing – complete with a funny caption.  It was his first attempt at writing comedy.  Soon he was entertaining his classmates, annoying his teachers, and getting kicked out of the adult church choir for being “too adolescent…” yeah, whatever…

It was this in-depth training that honed Denny’s ability to:  talk his way out of trouble, make friends with all the bullies, and get all the girls… to turn and look the other way… while rolling their eyes… and making rude comments.  Fortunately one girl, Sandy, accidentally turned toward him, and stared… They’ve been staring at each other and unconsciously mouth-breathing ever since...as well as creating stories, songs, characters and bits that cause audiences to laugh, cry, and sigh heavily while frequently checking their watches.

Denny’s performing experience includes 25 years of stage plays and sketch comedy, a children’s character on the cable TV network INSP, and a dozen years as a wacky and madcap morning show co-host in Christian radio.  No, really, it was actually funny… seriously….  But his most well known bit is his Porky Pig-like rendition of “Blue Christmas,” originally played on the John Boy and Billy radio show, and is now a holiday classic played all over the world.

Now Denny stands ready, (though he’d prefer to sit) to help in your project, through writing bits, gags, sketch comedy, songs and parodies; or through characters, voice-overs, or celebrity impressions; or perhaps you are like billions of other Americans, who are ready to embrace the exciting, cutting-edge trend of making major budget projects centered around a homely yet lovable middle-aged white guy.  If so, Denny is your man.  So feel free to contact Denny about the incredible comedic adventure that is your life, or perhaps to find a way to co-create, collaborate – but not co-habitate, try one of the contact references listed below:

Great hymns speak timeless truths with profound passion. They unite the church, giving Christians words to sing that articulate afresh the glories of Jesus Christ.  The New Scottish Hymns project seeks to reignite that spirit of Scotland’s great hymn-writing tradition, and uncover its treasures for a new generation.

      New songs by Scottish hymn-writers
      Traditional Scottish hymns with fresh melodies
      Psalm adaptations and paraphrases
      Performed by Emily Smith, Steph MacLeod, Yvonne Lyon and Ellyn Oliver.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
One aim of this album was to introduce some new songs that churches in Scotland might find useful in their own unique worship services. Scottish traditional music and folk melodies have an adaptable quality that renders the best of them timeless. Paraphrases from the Scottish Psalter like Psalm 23 have been sung across the world for centuries, and it’s important to remind new generations that these ancient words of scripture remain profoundly relevant. Scottish writers like Horatius Bonar and James Montgomery showed that a wealth of transforming biblical truths could be taught and absorbed through songs, so we also wanted to introduce examples of their lyrics to new listeners.

The motivation for making this hymns recording did not spring simply from a desire to create art. Hymnwriting is about making music firstly out of gratitude to Jesus Christ. With all our imperfections and limitations, Christians struggle to express anything more than an echo of His greatness, but we believe that this is a thing eminently worth sharing. For the person who finds this idea strange, it will hopefully make more sense as you listen! Our hope is that every listener might hear the joy that comes from the gospel: the good news of God’s saving and transforming love, made available to every person through his son, Jesus.

ABOUT NEW SCOTTISH ARTS
New Scottish Arts is an arts outreach & education ministry. Our purpose is to serve the Christian community in Scotland by enabling Christians to share their faith through the creative arts, by facilitating vibrant outreach events and projects that will impact on local communities and the whole of Scotland.
