Alternative Christian recording artist to perform at Wartburg College

Aaron Strumpel, an alternative Christian recording artist and Wartburg College alumnus, will perform at his alma mater Wednesday, March 11.

The free concert begins at 7 p.m. in Wartburg Chapel.

Strumpel has recorded several full-length, solo albums, as well as numerous solo EPs and other collaborative projects. Christianity Today called his second solo effort, “Elephants,” a “stunning achievement,” while USA Today said it was “a fresh reminder of the literary and musical beauty of the Bible.” The album also won the Calvin College Band-spotting Contest at the Festival of Faith and Arts. Strumpel released his latest album, “Bright Star,” in February.

“Within the Christian music world, Aaron is a rarity. Because he graduated with a worship studies minor, he is deeply connected to the musical history of the church, particularly the Psalms,” said the Rev. Brian Beckstrom, campus pastor. “He has a gift for reinterpreting the past in new and unique ways.”
