These two met in 2002 when Matt was in the process of producing his conference Worship More. They thought it would be a cool idea to combine their talents and passions. In 2003, they produced their very first conference called the Christian Musician Summit. Beginning in 2008, Matt & Bruce will be producing three CMS conferences across the country; CMS@Overlake, their flagship event, the Thriving Musician Summit at Bayside Church in Roseville, CA (Lincoln Brewster’s church), and CMS@theChapel in Buffalo, NY (partnering with Kingdom Bound Ministries).
In addition to the CMS conferences, Bruce and Matt produce the Songwriter Boot Camps in Seattle and Nashville, as well as the CMS SoundShop in Puyallup, WA.
Furthermore, they have moved into the realm of “Digital Resources Delivered” and present a bi-monthly subscription of songs on CD, and videos on DVD called the re:Source_D disc. All things CMS Pro can be found at the new ChristianMusician.com.
