Sunlight Of The Spirit Music

About Me


A Message From Gracie Hollombe Vandiver,
Founder of Sunlight of the Spirit Music
& Creator and Host of The Sober Cafe Podcast

I believe we're all connected. Sometimes we're lucky enough to have those connections made visible. If you're reading this, chances are you're in recovery (or you're related to someone who is), as are all of the musicians with CDs for sale in our store.
Music has always offered me a way to connect with my feelings. Admittedly, there have been moments (even years) when I was looking to escape. Even then, music took me gently by the heart and walked me through some tough growing pains.
In my teens, I only dreamed of being a songwriter; Now, I'm living that dream. And if I hadn't gotten clean and sober, I would have missed this entire awesome journey.
I've come to appreciate the great music that is being created by independent artists. Not music that's written for climbing charts and keeping jobs, but the authentic stuff that makes me remember how to feel.
It excites me to introduce you to talented artists I believe in. I hope you'll visit SunlightOfTheSpirit.com and discover a new favorite artist or two while you're there.
When you honor the artists at Sunlight of the Spirit Music by purchasing their CDs, you're also honoring your own recovery - because, after all, we're all connected.
Yours in sobriety,
-Gracie

P.S. If you're an artist in recovery and would like to submit your music, please go to our contact page SunlightOfTheSpirit.com .
We feature artists in our store on the Sober Cafe Podcast and highlight news about them on our Sobriety Soundcheck blog.

Wishing you much success!
