With comparisons ranging from Springsteen to Yorn, singer/songwriter John Mark McMillan’s music has been described as "gutsy, poetic rock 'n' roll.” The native North Carolinian draws from his Southern, “preader’s kid” roots to create spiritually-minded indie rock that is connecting with mainstream and Gospel music fans.
McMillan describes this project The Medicine) as "portraits of resurrection”
“More than anything, I think The Medicine explores the implications of resurrection in our everyday lives, even the dead places of our lives that need resurrecting,” he continues. “To his own hurt, Jesus, chose to be a part of our world. Why would we pretend that we don’t bring all our love, loss, and insecurity with us into the conversations we call ‘worship’? After all, we don’t serve a God who is unacquainted with grief. He is not surprised by or even unfamiliar with the darkness that can plague a human heart. In fact, he specializes at dealing with that sort of thing.”
