About Ordinary Time

Ordinary Time is an independent folk acoustic trio rooted in the Christian tradition. Comprised of Ben Keyes (guitar, piano, mandolin), Peter La Grand (guitar, banjo, dobro), and Jill McFadden (guitar, violin), Ordinary Time presents extraordinarily rich vocal harmonies, skillful instrumentation, and thought-provoking lyrics. The band’s oeuvre seamlessly weaves the hymns of generations past with their own new songs”often indistinguishably”producing a sound that ranges from bluegrass-tinged Americana to sacred harp hymn arrangements.  The band has released five records and tours semi-annually.

Grounded in tradition, innovative in expression, and mature in musicianship, Ordinary Time offers an important and unique voice, gifting us with enduring tunes for the journey of faith.

We are always eager to record more music, and are currently thinking about recording some hymns. If you would like to support our recording you can donate here or with qr code below.
