QUOTES/PRESS
Reform Follows Function is soulful, heartfelt and beautifully written and recorded. Nate weaves words and images rooted in the love of God incarnated in our lives for the sake of the world. This album helps make meaning of our days and lives in, with and under creation, our neighbors and our own vocation.

Becoming Liturgy Review
Part of the Minneapolis posse of Lutheran musicians that includes Jonathan Rundman and Echelon, Nate Houge offers up a heartfelt CD that creates a gentle mood for worship and the time leading to it. The 28 songs run the gamut from “Faith Renew” (anchored by the simple, sweet playing of violinist Mari Carlson) to the bongo-driven “God Over Everything,” which begins with the familiar “holy, holy, holy” refrain. Highly recommended for use with kids and youth groups, though there’s nothing childish about this fine disc (natehouge.com).
