Heartfelt Southern Gospel From Maryland With a Message
I created Shadowcreek Music to share the original Southern Gospel songs God placed on my heart, hoping they’ll lead others to Him. Based in Maryland and rooted in the Southern traditions I grew up with in Creedmoor, North Carolina, I write and record heartfelt, uplifting songs inspired by decades of singing and performing in Gospel groups. Every track you’ll find on this site is available to download freely—no royalty fees—because my calling isn’t about profit, it’s about sharing music that brings people closer to Christ. Whether you’re looking for something to sing at church, a revival, or a camp meeting, these songs were made for moments like that.
My work as a songwriter and producer is deeply personal. I offer my services to anyone seeking help with crafting original Gospel or country-style music that reflects faith, passion, and purpose. You can browse different categories of songs, reach out to me if a track touches your spirit, or request lyrics so you can share the message too. If you feel moved or want to collaborate, I’d love to hear how the music impacted your life—just send me a message.
Sharing Music With Purpose and Heart for His Glory
I didn’t start writing songs for recognition or rewards—I started because I felt called to. The music I write comes from deep experiences with God, Southern roots, and a heart for people who need encouragement. Each lyric and melody reflects the journey of faith, the longing for connection, and the hope that we’re never too far gone to be led back. I believe in writing music that means something—songs that people can carry with them through worship, testimony, and moments when words alone fall short.
That’s why I offer these songs freely, without royalty fees. I want them to go where they’re needed most—to churches, revivals, small-town gatherings, or anyone singing to reach hearts. If something I’ve written blesses someone else, then it’s already served its purpose. Music, when rooted in love and truth, can reach places even a sermon can’t. That’s the kind of impact I pray these songs make, one listener at a time.
Writing Songs Led by Faith and Grace to Inspire Others
I don’t sit down to write because I have to—I write when God puts something on my heart. Every song begins with prayer, reflection, and a desire to share what I’ve lived or felt. Whether it’s a story of redemption, a cry for strength, or a simple praise, I aim to keep every message grounded in truth and hope. Southern Gospel has always spoken to me that way, and now I hope my songs can do the same for someone else.
These aren’t tracks written for trends—they’re written for purpose. I want people to hear the lyrics and know they’re not alone in what they’re facing. My background in Gospel, country, and bluegrass gives each piece a sound that feels familiar, but the heart behind it is what makes it personal. I just want each song to find its place—where it can lift someone up, point them to Christ, or give them the words they didn’t know they needed.
