a few words from
the band table
This album is one of joy and hope. Each song has so many memories wrapped up in them: tears, laughter, jokes, and stories. But, the common thread through all of them is “experience.” Cliff, Jonathan, Jade, and I have lived a lot of life in the last 15 or so years, and so much of our stories come out in these songs. We didn’t just sit down to write a record. We wrote what was honest and true of our lives.”
-JORDAN MERRITT
“Oh taste and see that the Lord is good: Blessed is the man that trusts in Him”- Psalm 34:8. I’ve seen that God is good in my sorrow and in my joy. This project, to me, is saying “God, I trust You.” It feels like a joyful harvest. It is God getting the glory from stories that He continues to redeem. I am just so thankful.
-CLIFF PRESTON
I have never been more honored to be a part of a musical project. The talent and heart of the members of The Band Table is astounding. I’m honored to know them and call them friends. I still pinch myself that I get to do anything creatively with such wonderful humans. The whole album feels like a family gathering that you just don’t want to end. There is joy, laughter, stories, and of course, you walk away feeling full.
-Jade Lundgren
I cannot express how much The Band Table means to me. The people, their friendship, the songs, and the times we have spent worshiping Jesus together has been beautiful. Jordan, Cliff and Jade have become my family, and this whole project has become the soundtrack for my life. I have been waiting with pure excitement for the release of this record. I hope you are swept up into the richness of life with Jesus right along with us and are lead to His heart.
-JONATHAN LEE

the band table bio
The Band Table (Jordan Merritt, Cliff Preston, Jonathan Lee, Jade Lundgren) first met at a writing retreat in 2022. Their name “Table” is a call for all believers to join together in communion to feast on the Bread of Life. Their lyrics carry rich truths and explodes with life, joy, fun, stories, and the rich experience at a table.
Each member is well-established, and respected as songwriters having written with the likes of Lauren Daigle, Michael Farren, Dustin Smith, Jennie Lee Riddle, Tony Wood, Kenna West, Matt Armstrong, Micah Tyler, Mia Fieldes, Bethel, Upper Room, and many others.
Their songs have been recorded by artists such as For King and Country, Newsboys, Selah, Rebecca St. James, NewSong, Shane & Shane, People & Songs, Phil King, Aaron Shust, and Jared Anderson to name a few.
The families of The Band Table are more beautiful than the music could ever be! You may see lots of kids at a Table event, and that’s exactly the way it’s intended to be! Having spent numerous years in vocational ministry, each member carries a deep love for the local church. They are worshippers and pastors at heart and love nothing more than to see the people of God meet with Him. “We are the Table, He is the feast”
