Andrew Peterson Honors Rich Mullins With "A Liturgy, A Legacy, & The Songs of Rich Mullins" (Live)

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Andrew Peterson has released A Liturgy, A Legacy, & The Songs of Rich Mullins (Live)-a heartfelt, two-hour tribute capturing the spirit, honesty, and artistry of one of Christian music's most beloved troubadours, Rich Mullins. Recorded before a sold-out audience, the live album revisits Mullins' timeless songs with reverence and renewed vitality, weaving together worship, storytelling, and legacy in the way only Peterson can.

The 31-track project, available now on all major streaming platforms, features live renditions of many of Mullins' classics, including "Awesome God," "Hold Me Jesus," "Calling Out Your Name," "The Color Green," "Creed," and "Land of My Sojourn." At its heart lies a full performance of Mullins' 1993 masterpiece A Liturgy, A Legacy & A Ragamuffin Band-widely regarded as one of the most theologically rich and artistically daring albums in contemporary Christian music history.

"A lot of us grew up listening to Rich," says Peterson. "His songs didn't just make us sing-they made us think, repent, worship, and dream. This concert was a way of saying thank you, of remembering that what he wrote still leads us closer to Christ."

Joining Peterson on stage are a host of friends and fellow artists whose own work has been shaped by Mullins' legacy, including Jeremy Casella, Jill Phillips, Andy Gullahorn, and Leigh Nash. Together they reimagine the beloved repertoire with live instrumentation that evokes both the earthy authenticity and transcendent joy of Mullins' original recordings.

Peterson's tribute also connects deeply to the spiritual DNA of his own music. Known for albums like Resurrection Letters, The Burning Edge of Dawn, and The God of the Garden, Peterson has long carried forward Mullins' tradition of poetic theology-faith sung through story, nature, and the beauty of ordinary life.

Released October 21, 2025, through Centricity Music and recorded as part of the annual Hutchmoot gathering, A Liturgy, A Legacy, & The Songs of Rich Mullins (Live) is not merely a concert-it's a worship experience, a classroom of faith, and a communal act of remembrance. Each song invites listeners to rediscover the sound of grace that has echoed for generations.

"We wanted to honor the past," Peterson reflects, "but more than that, to bear witness to the same Gospel Rich sang about-the God who still surprises us, humbles us, and calls us home."
