Album lore

The House Show, released June 8, 2004 on Ino/Epic, captures Derek Webb in an intimate live setting, offering a raw presentation of his Christian folk and alternative rock compositions. The record’s 14 tracks include live renditions of cuts from his earlier solo work, such as “She Must and Shall Go Free” and “Nobody Loves Me,” alongside spoken intros that frame the performance with a candid, conversational tone. Webb’s acoustic guitar and earnest vocals take center stage, supported sparingly by the live audience’s subtle responses.Among these, “I Repent” stands out as a featured track, exemplifying the album’s unvarnished approach to faith and confession through a folk-rock lens. The House Show eschews studio polish for immediacy, offering listeners a document that resonates with the unfiltered spirit of Webb’s songwriting. Recorded during his 2003 tour, the album holds a modest place within the Christian folk canon, favored by a dedicated but niche audience.
