Alan Bessette is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter who has been leading worship as a Christian musician in the Boston area since the mid 70’s. Alan has recently formed Running Streams Music for the express purpose of producing and publishing high quality Christian music; music which will help listeners to experience the new, abundant life Jesus longs to give them, and which will help them to rest in the Almighty Father’s love poured out through the Holy Spirit.

Alan was amazed when, in 1974, through the ministry of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, he experienced Jesus’ love in a powerful, personal way. His life has never been the same since that day. He wants everyone to experience what he has and more. To that end he has helped to lead worship in a variety of settings over the years including masses, worship services, retreats, Christian coffee houses, and conferences in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox churches. He currently helps to lead worship at Fr. Tom DiLorenzo’s weekly mass and healing service at the Espousal Retreat House in Waltham, MA. This is the same Fr. Tom whose Catholic, evangelical, and bible based preaching ministry, “In Season and Out of Season”, is heard on over 25 radio stations nationwide. During his weekly worship services the Lord will often inspire Fr. Tom with songs that bring comfort and encouragement to many. Alan is honored that Fr. Tom has allowed him to include two of these songs, “Crystal Clear River” and “Let the River Flow”, on Running Streams Music’s inaugural CD, “Like a Deer”. Minnie Atwood, a wonderful, forever young, Episcopal believer from Cape Cod has contributed “Not All Who Cry Lord”. Minnie’s songs hit home in a challenging and powerful way. The remaining songs written by Alan are the result of the wonderful blessings God has poured out on him. Many Christian brothers and sisters over the years have encouraged Alan to record this music.

When the opportunity arose Alan was able to blend some of the best musicians and singers from the Boston and Nashville areas to produce “something beautiful for God”. The resulting CD contains over an hour of music designed to aid in both exuberant worship and quiet prayer. Many of the songs have a Celtic touch with finger picked acoustic guitar, Irish whistles, piano, cello, bowed bass, and violins. Others have an up-tempo gospel flavor with choir, horns, electric guitar, B3 organ, and rhythm section. The lyrics throughout focus on our hunger for God and His generous response to that hunger, the outpouring of His Holy Spirit. For a truly inspiring worship experience allow yourself to be led into the presence of the Lord through Alan Bessette’s premier CD, “Like a Deer”.
