  • What Happened to Avion? Randall Waller on Tragedy, Reinvention and the Road to the Super Bowl.

    What Happened to Avion? Randall Waller on Tragedy, Reinvention and the Road to the Super Bowl.
    2026/10/06

    What happened to Australian Christian rock band Avion, and how did frontman Randall Waller eventually find himself playing guitar with Shania Twain at the Super Bowl?

    In Episode 6 of Beyond the Chorus: Classic CCM Rewind, Shayne Brian sits down with Randall Waller to revisit the tragic story of Avion, one of Australia's most promising 1980s bands.

    Avion emerged from the Christian music scene but never fitted comfortably into one world. Randall remembers signing with RCA, appearing on Countdown, hearing Avion on Australian radio and navigating the tension between the church and the mainstream music industry.

    Then, in 1987, tragedy changed everything.

    Randall reflects on the accident that killed Avion keyboard player Evan Murray, the impact it had on the band and the difficult process of rebuilding his life and career after Avion came to an end.

    That next chapter took him around the world. He worked as a guitar tech for Bonnie Tyler, returned to performing and worked with artists including John English, Rose Tattoo and The Party Boys.

    Then came the call that changed everything again.

    Randall tells the extraordinary story of recording an audition tape for Shania Twain, receiving a phone call from legendary producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, flying to America and discovering during rehearsals that he had landed the job.

    He would go on to tour the world with Shania, with that journey eventually taking him all the way to the Super Bowl.

    The conversation also explores Randall's solo album More, which he describes as a "life statement", reflecting the beliefs, relationships, experiences and detours that shaped both his music and his life.

    From Avion and Australian Christian rock to Shania Twain, Mutt Lange and the Super Bowl, this is a story about music, loss, persistence and an extraordinary second act.

  • Mike Roe: The 77s, Faith, Censorship and the Long Road to 7

    Mike Roe: The 77s, Faith, Censorship and the Long Road to 7
    2026/09/29

    Mike Roe of The 77s joins Shayne Brian on Beyond the Chorus: Classic CCM Rewind for a deep dive into more than four decades of one of Christian alternative rock's most influential and fiercely individual bands.

    From their beginnings as a church-backed outreach project in Sacramento to albums including Ping Pong Over the Abyss, The 77s, Sticks and Stones and the controversial Pray Naked, Mike looks back at a band that consistently refused to fit comfortably inside the traditional Christian music industry.

    Unlike many bands from the classic CCM era, The 77s never really went away. Their music moved through new wave, alternative rock, blues, psychedelia, power pop and roots music, building a loyal audience that continues today.

    Mike explains the unusual story behind the name The 77s, his early work on the radio program Rock and Religion, and how the band gradually learned to focus on great songwriting rather than forcing a message into the music.

    For Out of the Crate, we return to the band's 1982 debut Ping Pong Over the Abyss and explore the early sound and identity of The 77s. Mike also reveals why Sticks and Stones may be the best place for a new listener to start.

    We also revisit Pray Naked and the controversy surrounding its title, Christian bookstore censorship and the tension between faith, creativity and the expectations of the Christian music industry.

    Then we move to the new album 7. Mike explains why the record took around 12 years to complete, why "Heart Back" made him want to create another 77s album, and how "Hand to God" evolved from a hard-driving new wave arrangement into the slower, psychedelic version heard on the finished record.

    Mike also talks about how The 77s audience has changed since 1982, his overlooked solo and instrumental work including Daydream and Orbis, and what could be coming next from The 77s.

    For fans of The 77s, Mike Roe, Lost Dogs, The Choir, classic CCM, Christian alternative rock and 1980s Christian music, this is a conversation about faith, creativity, survival and more than forty years of refusing to fit neatly into anybody else's box.

  • Kim Boyce: Classic CCM, Family, Faith and a 40-Year Full-Circle Moment

    Kim Boyce: Classic CCM, Family, Faith and a 40-Year Full-Circle Moment
    2026/09/22
    Nearly 40 years ago, Kim Boyce was my very first artist interview.I was 19, she was touring Australia with David Meece, and after sitting down and completing the interview, I discovered I had made one fairly significant mistake: I hadn't pressed record.Kim graciously sat down and did the entire interview with me again.Now, almost four decades later, we've come full circle.In Episode 4 of Beyond the Chorus: Classic CCM Rewind, I reconnect with Kim Boyce, one of the distinctive voices of 1980s and 1990s Contemporary Christian Music, to talk about the songs, albums, faith, family and unexpected turns that shaped her life both inside and outside the CCM industry.Kim takes us back to her early years growing up around Southern Gospel music, discovering artists including The Archers, Sweet Comfort Band, Andraé Crouch and The Imperials, and the unusual path that took her from Miss Florida and the Miss America pageant to a recording career in Christian music.We talk about her early work with Carman on The Champion, signing with Myrrh Records, touring Australia with David Meece, and what it was like discovering that people on the other side of the world already knew her songs.Kim also goes behind the music of her 1986 self-titled debut album, including “Love Resurrection,” “Darkened Hearts” and “Here,” and reflects on working with musicians and songwriters including Brian Tankersley, Tom Hemby, Tim Miner and Cindy Cruse.We revisit one of Kim's favourite albums, Time and Again, its classic Hollywood-inspired imagery, and her dance-pop reinvention of Rare Earth's “I Just Want to Celebrate.”But this conversation goes well beyond the records.Kim talks candidly about why she eventually stepped away from the relentless CCM cycle of albums, radio, touring and television after becoming a mother, and why choosing her family became more important than chasing the next hit.We follow her story through a new chapter in Branson, Missouri, where she returned to the Southern Gospel music of her childhood, performed for a decade and later created an all-gospel show with her husband Gary.Kim also shares some deeply personal reflections on faith, grief and family, before bringing us up to date with her life today.And, of course, I had to ask the question longtime Kim Boyce fans will want answered:Could there ever be another Kim Boyce album?For me, this is one of the most personal episodes of Beyond the Chorus so far. Kim was there at the very beginning of my journey as an interviewer, and getting the chance to sit down with her again nearly 40 years later feels like closing a very special circle.Thankfully, this time I remembered to press record.In this episode:Kim Boyce remembers touring Australia with David Meece near the beginning of her recording career.How Southern Gospel, The Archers, Sweet Comfort Band, Andraé Crouch and The Imperials shaped her musical world.From Miss Florida and Miss America to a career in Contemporary Christian Music.Singing with Carman on The Champion and the road to signing with Myrrh Records.The stories behind “Love Resurrection,” “Darkened Hearts,” “Here” and “Not Too Far From Here.”Why Time and Again remains one of Kim's favourite albums.Turning Rare Earth's “I Just Want to Celebrate” into an 80s CCM dance-pop favourite.Why Kim Boyce walked away from the CCM touring and recording cycle to focus on family.Her years performing Southern Gospel music in Branson and the album that was never released.The renewed interest in classic 1980s Christian music and whether Kim could record again.Timestamps00:00 - Revisiting Kim Boyce and the music of classic CCM01:22 - My first interview with Kim and the forgotten record button02:59 - Touring Australia with David Meece06:04 - Southern Gospel, Miss Florida and Miss America11:18 - The 1986 debut album and “Love Resurrection”13:45 - Writing “Darkened Hearts” with Tom Hemby21:35 - Why Time and Again remains a favourite23:47 - Reinventing “I Just Want to Celebrate”24:36 - Why Kim stepped away from the CCM industry35:11 - Could there be another Kim Boyce album?Follow Kim BoyceFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/kimboycemusicFollow Beyond the Chorus: Classic CCM RewindYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheChorusClassicCCMMusicFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheChorusPatreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/BeyondTheChorusSupport Beyond the ChorusIf you love the stories, artists and albums from the golden years of Contemporary Christian Music, you can help support Beyond the Chorus by joining the Patreon community for $5 a month.Patreon members can get access to bonus behind-the-scenes content, extra discussions, special discount offers and giveaways, while helping me continue tracking down the artists and stories that made classic Christian music so important to so many of us.Join here:https://www.patreon.com/cw/BeyondTheChorusAnd if you know somebody who still loves the Christian music of the 70s, 80s and 90s, ...
