Brightwork

Artist Spotlight: Caleb Carpenter

After nearly a decade of touring in a nationally renowned rock band, Virginia-based singer-songwriter Caleb Carpenter pivoted his creative vision toward uncharted waters with the launch of his solo project in 2022. Seeking to move beyond familiar sonic boundaries, Carpenter teamed up with longtime friend and industry veteran Mitch Parks (Ed Sheeran, Patrick Droney) to craft a refined and refreshed musical identity.

Blending elements of pop, alternative, and soul, Carpenter’s songs balance emotional depth with broad appeal. Tracks like “Déjà Vu” and “Time Bombs” are built to resonate—inviting listeners in with honesty, melody, and a sense of shared experience.

“With this project, I really wanted to write songs for people—to create conversations and connect with the listener,” Carpenter says. “When you can put your song into someone else’s story, it becomes part of their life soundtrack. We all love and lose, experience joy and heartache—that’s what makes us innately human. And that’s what I’ll continue leaning into.”

Catch him at the Old Red Mill Taphouse Grille on Friday, January 30th at 8:30 pm!

Wow. First “new” release in almost 7 years. 🥲

This project was and is still so special to me, and I’ve learned a lot from it’s journey through the ups and downs, and the bittersweet tastes that life and this industry have had to offer. But at the end of the day , God is still good… And we’re content to stand on the promises of God and declare his faithfulness over our lives and yours. May this be a calling back your first love. If you’ve got breath your lungs, he ain’t done and neither are you. Love you all and I hope that this tune blesses you.

Really saddened to hear this 😢, but happy she’s home and finished her race. 🙏 We had the privilege of sharing the stage with her a handful of times over the years and you could not meet a better person. She was such a kind soul. Praying for her family and loved ones as they navigate this time of loss.

Report: Christian singer Mandisa, 47, dies at her Nashville home K-LOVE says her cause of death is not yet known.

2 things.

One, would you listen if Brightwork dropped an old B-Side tune, one that was never released?

2nd question, If Brightwork was to make music again would you find that a favorable thing?

🤔

Ciao for now. 👀
