Local Musician's CD Benefits DMIHN

Ted Poulsen, a local musician who once opened for the band Kansas and was one of five finalist in the 2003 Iowa Star Search has created a CD of Gospel hymns with a modern twist and will be donating half the proceeds to DMIHN.  The CD contains 10 songs, 8 remakes in a modern style of classic hymns and 2 original songs.

Ted says, "I had wanted to do something for a homeless charity and decided on the Interfaith Hospitality Network after speaking with my friends Jason Walke and David Basler. If a church would be interested in having me come and perform a song or two, for example, for communion or offertory at a church service and let me say a few words about the Network, I would love to do so."

Ted goes on to say, "The roots of rock are in Gospel and I believe many of the old gospel songs and hymns are some of the best songs ever written." All parts on the songs were arranged, performed, recorded, and mixed by Ted at his home studio in West Des Moines.
