What started as impromptu playing sessions of everything from Lynard Skynard and ZZ Top to worship songs they knew from church, eventually became late nights of "Hey, so I started writing this song, would you mind helping me out on it?" After the encouragement of family and friends, Of Mud and Mire started to work on their first album "To the One Who Lifted Me Out" which covers topics of God, love and loss. Behind every song is a positive message along with a personal story, driven home with the beautiful harmony of sister/brother vocals. Of Mud and Mire consists of Alvan Reasoner on guitar and lead vocals, Faith Schweizer on piano and vocals, and Tyler Schweizer on drums. "To the One Who Lifted Me Out" is an album that will put a smile on your face and have you humming to its catchy tunes everywhere you go.

Of Mud and Mire gets their name from Psalm 40:1-3. It says:

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

"I waited patiently for the Lord;

he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

out of the mud and mire;

he set my feet on a rock

and gave me a firm place to stand.

He put a new song in my mouth,

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear the Lord

and put their trust in him."
