Acoustic Truth<br />

When I heard Acoustic Truth’s recent song ‘You Make Me Great’, I was once<br />

again moved by their warm, harmonized voices. They fit together like a hand<br />

and glove.<br />

When Ryan and Sarah Lendy met at Chicago summer camp for children with<br />

special needs, neither knew how significant they would become to each other<br />

and how they would influence the lives of so many others through their music.<br />

In 2011 these best friends wrote their first song together. After several years<br />

and several life changes, their songwriting is stronger than ever. No longer<br />

solely best friends, they are now husband and wife, and mother and father to<br />

son Jeremiah.<br />

The pair have always hoped their music would provide hope and inspiration to<br />

others. Prior to the birth of their son the couple had been touring, playing for<br />

audiences throughout the United States. Once Jeremiah was born, they took<br />

some time to focus on their songwriting. They began playing more in their<br />

church and moving towards outreach for Christ.<br />

Initially their music while inspirational was mostly secular and they were not<br />

sure how their established fans would take their transition into the realm of<br />

contemporary Christian music. Thankfully though, their fans have been very<br />

supportive and, through the transition, they have gained a tremendous<br />

number of new fans. It seems people are finding their music, which focuses on<br />

personal stories and daily struggles, to be a relatable and welcomed influence.<br />

This choice has been a blessing to this talented team. It has opened the doors<br />

to many new opportunities which are currently in the works. They have also<br />

had the opportunity to team up with the Christian network, Gods 411. This<br />

pairing has been a tremendous help in spreading their music with their latest<br />

video reaching five million people in a matter of 28 days. They never imagined<br />

that was possible. However, they continue to remain humble and stress that<br />

for them it is about the music and about the people.<br />

The future is looking positive for this uplifting couple with current talks in the<br />

works surrounding their music and their songwriting. Hopefully, we will see<br />

some big announcements from them soon.<br />
