ECHO MAGIC SESSIONS: FAITH TO ARISE

FEATURING MIA DYSON

Faith to Arise, a new single from the Echo Magic Sessions: a rolling series of recordings that reimagine deep-catalog songs through the sound of an Ojai-based collective. The track is a reverent, soul-forward performance of Terry Reid’s composition, led by Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist Mia Dyson with the Echo Magic band: Scott Hirsch, Brendan Willing James, Syd Sidney, Daniel Wright, Ethan Glazer, and Jesse Siebenberg.

“Faith to Arise” originally appears on Terry Reid’s 1976 album Seed of Memory and has lived on in film soundtracks and the ears of devoted fans; Reid’s songwriting from that era continues to resonate with musicians and audiences alike. Wikipedia

This release comes in the wake of the music world’s mourning of Terry Reid, who died in August 2025. Reid’s singular voice and songwriting left an outsized legacy that artists continue to draw from; Echo Magic’s version is both an homage and a living tribute. The Guardian

Musicians: Mia Dyson, Syd Sidney, Ethan Glazer, Daniel Wright, Brendan Willing James, and Scott Hirsch.
