The Love Amendment

Husband and wife duo, Vince and Amber Lichlyter, are collectively known as The Love Amendment. They have just released (February 25, 2014) their debut worship EP, showing a softer, gentler side of Vince, who was the founder and lead singer of Jonah33. He is well known for his hard-hitting depiction of the truth through music that delivers roaring drums, kickin' guitars and fearless vocals.

Between Vince and Amber combined, they have almost 2 decades of leading worship and speaking to venues of all sizes. They currently live in Northwest Arkansas with their 4 children: Jonah, Aubrey, Ava, and Jadyn, and their chocolate lab, Dave.

In a press release, Vince talked about the music found on the new project. He said, "All 5 songs have come directly from a place that we've been, whether good or bad. And that seems to be the key with people. We all want to know that we’re on the right track, and if not, how to get back on it. Transparency will always be key, especially when it comes to leading worship."

Kyle Simpson, the couple's long-time friend and producer, helped them bring their self-titled debut EP to life. The whole project was recorded in one long weekend at the Lichlyter’s home.

Amber shared, "It was a whirlwind. Kyle showed up super late one night, and by the next morning, our living room was a full blown studio. Our hall coat closet became a vocal booth, and Vince tracked all the acoustic guitars in the bathroom. That’s right. On the toilet! Combine that with juggling 4 kiddos and trying to keep them quiet while Vince and Kyle worked, like I said… It was a whirlwind!"

Where Jonah33 was in-your-face rock, The Love Amendment is more warm and fuzzy - but just as personal as anything Vince did with the rockers. He talked about the differences, saying, "I’m a little nervous because it’s such a different sound from Jonah33. There’s nothing quite like taking your relationship with God and exposing it to the world."
