“I love old hymns,” shares the 29-year-old San Clemente, California based worship leader. “I wanted to do this project because I have such a deep reverence for the songs. I hope people dig it. It’s not super polished or overly produced, but it’s really raw, acoustic and real.”

“Roots Run Deep” features a compilation of familiar classics such as the radio debut AC and Inspo single “Come Thou Fount,” which is already a New and Active at AC Monitored and Inspo. Other songs included are “I Need Thee Every Hour,” “Amazing Grace,” “Blessed Assurance” and seven other traditional favorites (track listing below). This collection was self-produced and arranged by Lavik providing a true representation of who he is. Lavik grew up in a traditional church in the state of Washington where he gained an appreciation for hymns.

“All the arrangements are unique, and some of them don’t sound much like the originals,” explains Lavik. “Most of the songs have just acoustic guitar, piano and vocal with a couple of songs having bass and a cello or a shaker here and there.”

Hoping Roots Run Deep will resonate with his faithful fans and new listeners; Lavik wants everyone to embrace the organic and intimate worshipfulness of the project appreciating the foundation of worship music.
