About
Timeless truth. Untamed affection.
West Coast Revival (Jonathan and Ryan Baird) exists to magnify Jesus Christ through songs that marry timeless truth with untamed affection.
Why music
There is something special about the gift of music that God has given man. It has a unique ability to communicate truths about God that transcend mere words and speech. It continually amazes us how God structured the universe to work, and music, we believe, is a language He intended to be used to bring us out of the earthly and experience the divine.
From the beginning, Jonathan and I have desired to write music that lifts our eyes to the divine, because that's what we believe God built into our DNA. In singing and hearing music written with words that exalt and magnify the greatness of God, and specifically the life, death, resurrection, ascension and return of Jesus Christ, God uses that to show us more of Himself.
Our goal is to plug a cord into the Bible, put the other end in an amplifier and dial it up to 11. There are no songs creative or loud enough to be worthy of the greatness of God, but we're going to give it our best.
Our story
Brothers Jonathan and Ryan have been playing music and writing songs together for decades. Forming West Coast Revival in 2003, they released their first EP, FUSE, with Sovereign Grace Music in 2005, followed by their first full-length, self-titled album in 2007.
After contributing as writers to Sovereign Grace Music projects, including "Behold Our God" in 2011, and joined by their sister Meghan Baird, they returned with another EP, All That Thrills My Soul, followed by the full-length Some Bright Golden Morning in 2015.
Since then, West Coast Revival has focused on singles, starting in 2019 with "Behold Our God (Almost Acoustic)" and continuing through "Flesh and Blood," "The Armor" and "We Three Kings." "The Sparrow" followed in 2021, alongside Oh the Deep, a remastering of the original FUSE EP. 2022 brought "Before My Knees Could Reach the Ground," and 2025 saw "Solid Rock," "In You Is Mercy" and "Have You Been to Jesus."
The best place to find new music and teaching from West Coast Revival is Worship Is Warfare, live every Tuesday and Thursday at 6am MST. It's a live show and podcast on worship as spiritual warfare: the fight to make Christ our greatest delight.
