In addition, the GRAMMY® nominated, Dove Award-winning group’s popular “Friday Night Sing” YouTube series will make its highly anticipated return February 2. </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">Inaugurating Ernie Haase & Signature Sound’s third decade of music and ministry, “We Are The Church” was penned by Haase, Sue C. Smith and Lee Black and produced by Wayne Haun. Choral and orchestral arrangements of "We Are The Church" will also be available for congregational use. The anthem, which epitomizes the group’s mission, sounds a clarion call for believers to stand firm in faith amidst worldly despair. </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">“I came to the table with this idea a couple of months ago, troubled by the way things are trending in our culture,” Haase shares of the song’s inspiration. “While it seems we’re all on edge these days and the future is uncertain, I want to remind my brothers and sisters in Christ that we’re not called to fight for an earthly kingdom. We’re here to promote an eternal agenda, one that defines who we are and Whose we are—bought by the blood of Jesus. Because of that glorious truth, we can weather any storm.” </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">Haase continues, “Jesus says in John 16:33, ‘<i><span>I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world</span></i>.’ No matter what the days ahead hold, we have this assurance. Who we are matters. We are the Church and it’s time to stand on that foundation.” </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">Subsequently, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound are poised to launch the long-awaited third season of their popular “Friday Night Sing” series. Debuting February 2 at 7:00 pm ET on </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5dNXom8R7tJ9gkOrifsDYc2Hb3eViq7I" target="_blank"><span style="color:#5E071E;"><span>YouTube</span></span></a><span style="color:black;">, the six-episode season will be highlighted by intimate acoustic performances from the quartet, as well as special greetings from Bill Gaither, The Oak Ridge Boys, Sandi Patty and Pastor Robert Jeffress, among other friends of the group. A new episode will premier each Friday evening through March 8. </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">Originating as a way for the group to connect with their audience during the pandemic, “Friday Night Sing” exploded in popularity, with many episodes amassing large audiences and new fans tuning in from more than 30 countries. “We’ve heard people loud and clear from all over the world; they’ve missed the community we’ve built virtually from our living rooms to theirs on Friday nights,” Haase shares of the show’s return. “The stories we share and the fellowship we have through this online format just isn’t possible to this extent on the road.”</span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">“Last year while we were touring in Scotland, we met a family with five children who told us they looked forward to watching ‘Friday Night Sing’ each week. Despite the time difference, which meant they were viewing it live in the wee hours of the morning in Scotland, they wanted the opportunity to watch it together with everyone around the world. That means so much to us, witnessing people come together to share this unique experience.” </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">Ernie Haase & Signature Sound’s new single and “Friday Night Sing” reboot arrive on the heels of a watershed year for the group. Commemorating two decades of music and ministry in 2023, the quartet marked the milestone with the release of <i><span>Live in Amsterdam: A 20th Anniversary Celebration</span></i> last summer, and they shared the stage with the most awarded a cappella group in history, Take 6, for a showstopping performance during the 54th Annual GMA Dove Awards in October. </span><br> </p><p><span style="color:black;"><strong>ABOUT ERNIE HAASE & SIGNATURE SOUND</strong></span><br><span style="color:black;">Following his 10-year tenure with the legendary Cathedral Quartet, Ernie Haase fulfilled a lifelong dream to helm his own group when he founded Signature Sound in 2003. The quartet quickly become genre leaders, amassing a prolific string of hit singles; multiple GRAMMY® nominations and GMA Dove Awards; a discography of bestselling recordings; and numerous Gold® and Platinum® DVDs.

Clydesdale</strong> for this ten song album which includes familiar carols, covers of popular Christmas tunes and an original song as well. Making this project extra special is the inclusion of orchestral arrangements recorded with <strong>The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra</strong>. “Since we began singing we’ve dreamed about doing a Christmas record,” shares Nicholas Heath, “but honestly we had no idea what a dream come true this project would be. David T. Clydesdale was a name I had seen all over the place: Sandi Patty, Disney and most of the church choir music - David has worked with so many artists in some form. For him to have such a prominent influence on this project is still surreal to me. And working with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra was just amazing. What a huge sound and what an awesome experience!”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span> <o:p></o:p>Everyone will enjoy singing along with familiar carols such as <strong>“O Come All Ye Faithful” </strong>and <strong>“I’ll Be Home For Christmas,”</strong> both of which include lush orchestrations to complement the vocal arrangements. Popular Christmas tunes include <strong>“What God Wants For Christmas,”</strong> made popular by country music singer Darius Rucker, and <strong>“Mary Did You Know.”</strong> But the 3 Heath Brothers shine brightest on the song they wrote, the title cut, <strong>“Not So Silent Night.”</strong> The energy and fun for which they are known is perfectly captured in this song celebrating the joy, love and reason for our Christmas celebrations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span>“When I first saw the 3 Heath Brothers in person I was filled with joy and hope,” reflects StowTown Records co-founder <strong>Ernie Haase</strong>. “Now, with their first StowTown release, </span><i><span>Not So Silent Night</span></i><span>, they are bringing that same creative energy to the greatest story of all time: God with us! All I can say is buckle up! This is the pure joy unleashed!" The 3 Heath Brothers are just as excited for this new partnership. “To us, StowTown Records has always been the gold standard when it comes to Gospel music. Their insight, attention to detail and their track record with taking artists to the next level has always impressed us. For us to be working with them is very exciting!”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><i><span>Not So Silent Night</span></i><span> is the perfect addition to your Christmas music library and playlist.</span></p><p><i><span><strong><u>Not So Silent Night</u></strong></span></i><span><strong><u> Track Listing:<o:p></o:p></u></strong></span></p><ol>

Their smooth harmonies and rich quartet sound quickly gained national attention, creating a demand for concert appearances outside of their home theater. In 2008, they left the theater to take their music on the road nationally. As the recipients of multiple fan and industry awards, Triumphant has also achieved great success on radio. They excel in diversity and expand their musical borders to a wide variety of styles that are enjoyed by church audiences and music lovers of all ages. Audience goers find themselves smiling, laughing, crying, encouraged and uplifted, but most of all, they walk away having had the gospel message presented to them in a powerful way. Jesus Christ is Triumphant Quartet’s focus, and it is their hope that many will receive Christ as their Lord and Savior, because He is the reason they sing.</span><br><br><span><strong>LINKS:</strong></span><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/t3w6im" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/t3w6im&source=gmail&ust=1691074476242000&usg=AOvVaw0poaVsuygy9P_9c0FjDe78"><span><u>www.triumphantquartet.com</u></span></a><span> </span><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/9vx6im" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/9vx6im&source=gmail&ust=1691074476242000&usg=AOvVaw3mn8nms3_6OQHqS0aDnpiG"><span><u>www.facebook.com/</u></span></a><wbr><a class="no-pjax" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/9vx6im" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/9vx6im&source=gmail&ust=1691074476242000&usg=AOvVaw3mn8nms3_6OQHqS0aDnpiG"><span><u>TriumphantQuartet/ </u></span></a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/5gz6im" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/5gz6im&source=gmail&ust=1691074476242000&usg=AOvVaw1mjtglTHYZOroUDW3o8EeT"><span><u>www.instagram.com/</u></span></a><wbr><a class="no-pjax" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/5gz6im" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/5gz6im&source=gmail&ust=1691074476242000&usg=AOvVaw1mjtglTHYZOroUDW3o8EeT"><span><u>triumphantquartet/</u></span></a><span> </span><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/l9z6im" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/l9z6im&source=gmail&ust=1691074476242000&usg=AOvVaw3RcokZNISBL_-_4o-zWMfH"><span><u>www.youtube.com/channel/</u></span></a><wbr><a class="no-pjax" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/l9z6im" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://t.e2ma.net/click/trn3wf/54960p/l9z6im&source=gmail&ust=1691074476242000&usg=AOvVaw3RcokZNISBL_-_4o-zWMfH"><span><u>UCBLLbxTomiUSruFmmW7idWA</u></span></a><span> </span></wbr></wbr></wbr></p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/72407022023-07-12T12:49:27-04:002023-07-12T12:49:28-04:00(July 12, 2023) - Ernie Haase & Signature Sound Presents "Live In Amsterdam: A 20th Anniversary Celebration" August 11<p><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.erniehaase.com" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:black;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/495039/4a88f82210cd70b3586d3dcd2a801b1071307d46/original/ehss-2023-live-in-amsterdam-a-20th-anniversary-celebration.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_right border_" /></span></a><span style="color:black;">Commemorating two decades of music and ministry, multi-GRAMMY® nominated Gospel leaders <strong>Ernie Haase & Signature Sound</strong> are set to bow <i><strong>Live in Amsterdam: A 20th Anniversary Celebration</strong> </i>August 11. Produced by 39-time Dove Award-winner <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> and released by <strong>StowTown Records</strong>—the genre-leading label co-founded by Haase and Haun—the project was recorded before a capacity crowd at Rafaël Evangelism Center in Amsterdam earlier this year.</span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">“Overture,” a stirring instrumental medley of Ernie Haase & Signature Sound classics, sets the stage for a milestone recording featuring 10 fan favorites spanning the group’s iconic career. “They’ve had more hits over the last 20 years than we could possibly include on one project, so the overture enabled us to add portions of a few more #1 singles like ‘I Thirst,’ ‘That’s Why,’ and ‘The Old Landmark,’” shares Haun, who arranged and orchestrated the piece. “When the overture started in Amsterdam, I was amazed at how the audience began singing along. It’s completely humbling to realize the global impact these songs have had.” </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">From “Oh, What A Savior,” which Haase has performed for more than 30 years with both Signature Sound and the Cathedral Quartet; to “Get Away Jordan,” Ernie Haase & Signature Sound’s breakthrough hit, <i>Live in Amsterdam: A 20th Anniversary Celebration </i>also features new arrangements of such group standards as “Reason Enough,” “I Know My Savior Cares,” and the July 21 digital single “Until We Fly Away,” among others. </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">“Our most memorable moments are always meeting with people after shows and hearing how the songs have helped them in their faith journey,” Haase shares. “‘Jesus Changed Everything’ and ‘Sometimes I Wonder’ were songs that God greatly used the night we recorded in Amsterdam. While showing us her ‘Jesus Changed Everything’ tattoo, a lady said to us in broken English, ‘This song saved me from a life of deep depression.’ Another family shared that their young daughter was recently struck and killed by a car in her neighborhood. They told us how the song ‘Sometimes I Wonder’ is giving them faith and hope, and they're even asking God for the opportunity to witness to the driver.” </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">“All of these songs have been very, very impactful to the ministry of Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, so we hope our listeners will love the new arrangements of songs they've welcomed into their lives through the years," he adds. "We also hope young listeners will hear a work of ‘heart’ and art that encourages them to pursue their dreams as we did when we embarked on this journey 20 years ago. Most of all, we want people to listen to these songs and the stories behind them and be inspired to share their redemption story with others. In the end, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony (Revelation 12:11). This recording is our testimony of God’s amazing grace in and through Ernie Haase & Signature Sound.” </span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style="color:black;"><strong>ABOUT ERNIE HAASE & SIGNATURE SOUND</strong></span><br><span style="color:black;">Following a 10-year tenure with the legendary Cathedral Quartet, Ernie Haase was inspired to launch a powerhouse gospel quartet of his own. Signature Sound was born in 2003 and quickly became one of the most beloved and awarded groups in the genre. Southern Gospel radio favorites, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound have four GRAMMY® nominations; multiple GMA Dove Awards; a discography of bestselling recordings; and numerous Gold® and Platinum® DVDs to their credit. Today, the group is comprised of Ernie Haase (tenor), Doug Anderson (lead), Dustin Doyle (lead) and Paul Harkey (bass), and they continue a mission to record and perform compelling music that points listeners to the Hope of Christ. </span><br><span style="color:black;"> </span><br><span style="color:black;">For further information: </span><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.erniehaase.com/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://turningpointpr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Db45a1d58c332789d0efea331f%26id%3D488e8e7e4f%26e%3D9b55fb748b&source=gmail&ust=1689263334165000&usg=AOvVaw1rf1K149d0LICbGg1GU6wL" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:black;">erniehaase.com</span></a><span style="color:black;">, </span><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.stowtownrecords.com/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://turningpointpr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Db45a1d58c332789d0efea331f%26id%3Db4e1d70a9c%26e%3D9b55fb748b&source=gmail&ust=1689263334165000&usg=AOvVaw1t23NuHAx-63AR5ticUIwz" target="_blank"><span style="color:black;">stowtownrecords.com </span></a><span style="color:black;">or </span><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.turningpointpr.com/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://turningpointpr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Db45a1d58c332789d0efea331f%26id%3D6437fd0fe2%26e%3D9b55fb748b&source=gmail&ust=1689263334165000&usg=AOvVaw0BqBNTRM98P7qtuNmOg0cY" target="_blank"><span style="color:black;">turningpointpr.com</span></a><span style="color:black;">. </span><br><span style="color:black;">Follow Ernie Haase & Signature Sound on </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/ErnieHaaseandSignatureSound" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://turningpointpr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Db45a1d58c332789d0efea331f%26id%3D0423be4610%26e%3D9b55fb748b&source=gmail&ust=1689263334165000&usg=AOvVaw2GMfPWSOvL38x4l75eDObv" target="_blank"><span style="color:black;">Facebook</span></a><span style="color:black;">, </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/erniehaase/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://turningpointpr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Db45a1d58c332789d0efea331f%26id%3D9060681837%26e%3D9b55fb748b&source=gmail&ust=1689263334165000&usg=AOvVaw24hgYKjfIEk06vzMsrjKkY" target="_blank"><span style="color:black;">Instagram</span></a><span style="color:black;"> and </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://youtube.com/ehssq" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://turningpointpr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Db45a1d58c332789d0efea331f%26id%3D83f851f2ef%26e%3D9b55fb748b&source=gmail&ust=1689263334165000&usg=AOvVaw1zgQ0vS0X38736JKMgTADd" target="_blank"><span style="color:black;">YouTube</span></a><span style="color:black;">. </span><o:p></o:p></p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/72386992023-07-08T10:46:14-04:002023-07-08T10:47:01-04:00(July 8, 2023) - Scotty Inman Departs Triumphant Quartet; Focuses on Solo Career<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/495039/5146d066be3a0b1b64c841c7c8c3912b2b0bdcf4/original/scott-inman-2021.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_left border_" />To everything there is a season. For the past two decades, <strong>Scotty Inman</strong> has been blessed with the privilege of traveling as part of the award-winning group, <strong>Triumphant Quartet</strong>. This season has brought much joy and fulfillment, both from a professional standpoint, as well as personally. “Over half my life has been spent with the greatest men I know. They say you are who you hang around, and I hit the jackpot with Triumphant,” shares Scotty Inman. “Men of integrity, consistency and class…not just in music, but in life itself.”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">From the group’s beginnings in 2003, when four outstanding vocalists graced the stage in Pigeon Forge, TN for the first time together, to making the decision to tour the country in 2008, Triumphant has continued time and again to raise the bar of producing music with the highest excellence, all while remaining steadfast in their core values. That dedication, along with the grace of God, has yielded GRAMMY nominations, a Dove Award, numerous fan awards and number one songs at radio.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">However, over the last few years, Scotty Inman has felt God leading him into a new season of life. A decision such as this is never simple or easy to make, especially when it entails leaving a group that is family; but at this time, it is necessary. Moving into 2024 and beyond, Scotty will shift his focus to recording and traveling as a solo artist, which will, in turn, allow much needed flexibility in his schedule. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">“This is not a ‘going home to spend more time with my family’ type of announcement,” explains Scotty. “Mainly because that implies that those of us who travel for a living do not spend time with our families, which is not true. However, what I do know is that I have a deep desire to be even more involved in my kids’ lives at these crucial ages. They are growing up quickly, and I want to be at as many ballgames and recitals as I can.”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">Scotty continues, “As some of you know, my wife and I recently helped plant a church along with a pastor friend and small group of couples. At that church, I serve as the co-worship leader, as well as a deacon. Serving more frequently at my home church and being in attendance to fulfill my duties are a few things that have been laid on my heart in a huge way.”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">While Scotty looks forward to making the most of his time with his family, this does not mean that music will take a backseat. “I’m not done singing, and in many ways, I feel as though I’ve only just begun! By traveling as a soloist, I’ll be able to pursue the calling that the Lord has placed on my life, but with a less demanding schedule. I plan on seeing everyone down the road sooner rather than later!”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;"><strong>Eric Bennett</strong> conveys the group’s sincere gratitude, “We will forever be grateful for Scotty’s time and devotion to Triumphant. His creativity, passion and love for the Gospel has helped create what Triumphant is today.” Although things may change, remnants of Scotty’s influence will always be seen and felt as Triumphant continues its ministry in the coming years.”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">“Scotty has been a much-loved and respected member of this family,” says <strong>David Sutton</strong>, the tenor singer for Triumphant. “We all understand and share in the calling of ministry in varying capacities. As such, we are fully supportive of Scotty and this new endeavor.”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">“We’ve always encouraged our kids to never be afraid of expanding their borders,” <strong>Clayton Inman </strong>recalls. “Scotty has been with Triumphant for twenty years. As both his dad and a group member, I’m extremely grateful for that. At the same time, his mom and I are excited for the world to see everything Scotty has to offer for years to come.”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">Inevitably, Scotty will leave behind big shoes to fill. While the group vows to exercise prayerful consideration and discernment during the interview process, the members appreciate Scotty’s willing participation during this time of transition. His involvement in the selection process highlights the impact of the quartet’s ministry and the quality of relationships formed during those years. All serious inquiries for the lead/baritone position should be emailed to </span><a class="no-pjax" href="mailto:landon@imcconcerts.com"><span style="color:black;">landon@imcconcerts.com</span></a><span style="color:black;">.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">Scotty will continue to appear as part of Triumphant Quartet through the end of the year. A transition such as this one is not to be taken lightly, and Scotty wants to make the change as smooth as possible for each and every person involved. He shares, “Please pray for me and my family during this transition, as well as my favorite group of guys, Triumphant, as they move forward. I know God has great things in store for them!”</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;">To stay up-to-date on current happenings, follow Scotty Inman on social media or visit </span><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.scottyinman.com" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:black;">scottyinman.com</span></a><span style="color:black;">.</span><o:p></o:p></p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/72376322023-07-06T10:24:51-04:002023-07-06T10:24:51-04:00(July 6, 2023) - PromisedLand Quartet Joins StowTown Records Artist Roster<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/495039/9cab606a4e369e7844ebae2f8e9ac7411030983e/original/promisedland-quartet-2.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_right border_" /><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:black;"><strong>StowTown Records </strong>is happy to announce the addition of <strong>PromisedLand Quartet</strong> to our artist roster.

Each time I’ve heard them sing, I’ve called <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> (StowTown co-founder and producer) and said, ‘PromisedLand is one of the best quartets out there.’ StowTown is thrilled to be bringing their music to a broader market, and I can’t wait for folks to hear their upcoming release.

We thought it would be an extraordinary place to record our 20th anniversary project. This album will not only be a celebration of two decades, highlighting the songs that have defined our career, but it’s a celebration of God's faithfulness.” </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><i><span><strong>Live In Amsterdam: A 20th Anniversary Celebration</strong></span></i><span> will showcase renditions of such Ernie Haase & Signature Sound favorites as <strong>“Oh, What a Savior”</strong> and the Dove Award-winning<strong> “Reason Enough,”</strong> among many others.

Their testimonies of what God has done in their lives—and the fact that He used our music in some fashion to bring about the grace they needed—is the greatest achievement we could ever hope to gain this side of heaven.” </span><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span><strong><u>ABOUT ERNIE HAASE & SIGNATURE SOUND:</u></strong></span><o:p></o:p><br><span>Following a 10-year tenure with the legendary Cathedral Quartet, Ernie Haase was inspired to launch a powerhouse gospel quartet of his own.

The Erwins’ first new music in more than two years, the song offers listeners encouragement to press on in the face of life’s trials: “So bring on the fire, bring on the rain/my testimony is not gonna change/From the valley to the mountain my God’s worthy of praise/Whatever comes before me, I’m still telling my story.”</span><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><p><span>“Everyone has a story to tell,” explains The Erwins’ <strong>Katie Erwin Headrick</strong>. “I really hope this song encourages people to share the story of how Jesus changed their lives. Whether you were raised in church or accepted Christ at a later age, your story is powerful and needs to be heard. You can change lives with your story!” </span><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><p><span>“The Erwins are always finding new ways to tell a timeless story—the Greatest Story,” adds Wayne Haun, StowTown Records co-founder and producer of the song. “Plus, you want to listen to their music over and over again because they sound so good telling the story.” </span><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><p><span>“Still Telling My Story” is available as a three-song digital bundle featuring the radio edit; a pop-infused album arrangement; and an extended version highlighting spoken-word testimonies from friends.

We’ve spent almost two years writing, praying and narrowing down these songs, and ‘Still Telling My Story’ is just a taste of what’s to come.” </span></p><p> </p><p><span><strong><u>About The Erwins:</u></strong></span><o:p></o:p><br><span>Siblings Keith, Kody, Kris and Katie Erwin grew up performing in countless churches and at events around the country with their father, who has been a full-time evangelist for more than 40 years.

In the decade since, The Erwins have released seven subsequent recordings, including the 2021 GRAMMY®-nominated </span><i><span>What Christmas Really Means</span></i><span>. They are also 2020 Dove Award winners in the Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year category for “The Power Of An Empty Tomb,” and The Erwins’ 2021 single, “The God I Know,” became their first #1 hit, topping The Singing News Power 50 Weekly Chart. </span></p><p><strong><u>LINKS:</u></strong><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://erwinministries.com/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span>https://erwinministries.com/ </span></a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/TheErwinFamily" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.facebook.com/TheErwinFamily</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/the_erwins/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.instagram.com/the_erwins/</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEiQpk8mzT_ctJx-UUY83Ow" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEiQpk8mzT_ctJx-UUY83Ow </span></a></p><p><o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p></o:p></p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/71886902023-04-14T09:00:00-04:002023-05-08T10:36:54-04:00(April 14, 2023) - Talented Musical Family, The Browns, Release "Breakthrough"<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/495039/07dbfbcefb5e506facd9dd8832423c02e499883e/original/browns-2023-breakthrough.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_right border_" /><span style="color:black;"><strong>StowTown Records</strong> has announced the release of a brand new album from <strong>The Browns.</strong> <i><strong>Breakthrough </strong></i>features the gifted musical family at their very best, with the moving, rich harmonies and first-class arrangements that have made them a favorite among audiences nationwide. <i>Breakthrough</i> is distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony</strong> and is available today for download and streaming </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://TheBrowns.lnk.to/BreakthroughAlbum" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span><strong>HERE</strong></span></a><span style="color:black;">.</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">Growing up near the quiet town of Le Mars, The Browns enjoyed the simple pleasures of life on a farm in rural Iowa. Their natural love for music quickly began to capture the attention of the locals and before long, that local attention turned to national acclaim. Over the years, their musical talents have afforded them the opportunity to travel across the country, yet their love for their home community runs deep. A testament to this lies in their commitment to develop the Browns Century Theater, a historic building in downtown Le Mars that the family bought and remodeled just a few years ago in order to present concerts and theatrical events in their hometown. Although the majority of their time is spent at the theater, the group continues to travel nationally, presenting live events in support of new music like their brand new release from <span>StowTown</span>. </span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><i>Breakthrough</i> is the eighth recording on which The Browns have partnered with multi-award winning producer and arranger, <strong>Wayne Haun.</strong> “I remember seeing The Browns for the first time in Owensboro, Kentucky, at a talent contest,” recalls Wayne. “They were all kids. In fact, Andrew was so small they had to stand him up in a chair to be seen. I knew there was great potential even then. Here we are some 20 years later, and they are all grown up and hitting a home run every night. Their voices are mature and unique. They have created their own sound that is fresh and commercial. I’m just grateful they let me be a part of the journey.” </span></p><p><span style="color:black;">The Browns have enjoyed a great relationship with Wayne through the years, and with his guidance, their primary focus continues to be on the songs themselves. “We love making music!” exclaims Michaela Brown. “These songs we chose for the <i>Breakthrough</i> album are songs that we not only love to sing, but also relate to on a personal level. We love the messages they convey, the hope they bring and the joy they spread to those who hear them!”</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">The debut single, the title cut <strong>“Breakthrough,”</strong> was shipped to radio in January 2023, and quickly made its debut in the Top 50. The success of the single was no surprise as the group has consistently appealed to radio listeners over the years and has enjoyed numerous Top 40 radio hits. Written by veteran songwriters <strong>Sue C. Smith</strong>, <strong>Shane Dunlap</strong> and Haun, “<span>Breakthrough”</span> is a song of encouragement to anyone who has ever faced life’s challenges. The song’s powerful message is complemented by a masterful arrangement that enraptures the listener to a place of confident peace.</span></p><p><span style="color:black;">In addition to “<span>Breakthrough</span>,” the recording is filled with several other original songs from talented writers like <strong>Don Koch</strong>, <strong>Joel Lindsey</strong>, <strong>Jeff Bumgardner</strong> and <strong>Marcia Henry</strong>, including <strong>“</strong><span><strong>Move</strong></span><strong>,”</strong> a fun song that combines fiddles with the electric guitar on a melodic line – a musical pairing first for Wayne Haun. Don Koch was a big musical influence for many, including Haun, during the 1990s; and so recording his brand new song <strong>“</strong><span><strong>No One Greater”</strong></span><i><span> </span></i><span>is a highlight for all involved. L</span>yrically, the song celebrates the victory Christ offers during life’s storms. And the Browns always feature a classic on their albums. <strong>“</strong><span><strong>Try A Little Kindness,</strong></span><strong>”</strong> originally recorded by <strong>Glen Campbell</strong>, is sure to become a concert favorite among fans of The Browns. </span></p><p><span style="color:black;">For almost 20 years, The Browns have brought pleasure to listeners with their musical talents, rich family harmonies and exuberant on-stage energy. This latest release will no doubt bring listeners even more musical pleasure for decades to come.</span></p><p><span style="color:black;"><i><strong><u>Breakthrough</u></strong></i><strong><u> Track List:</u></strong></span><br><span style="color:black;">The Song We Sing</span><br><span style="color:black;">No One Greater</span><br><span style="color:black;">Breakthrough</span><br><span style="color:black;">Try A Little Kindness</span><br><span style="color:black;">My View from the Valley</span><br><span style="color:black;">Move</span><br><span style="color:black;">The Tomb is Empty Now</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:black;">###</span></p><p><span><strong>ABOUT THE BROWNS:</strong></span><br><span>It’s truly a family affair when The Browns hit the stage with their unmistakable style of gospel music. Michaela, Adam, Andrew and Shelly exude excitement on the stage and offer a life-changing experience to all who hear them. The Browns deliver the powerful message of the gospel through word and song, and captivate audiences of all ages. Known for their fiddle playing antics and vocals, The Browns have wowed audiences around the world. The call to perform has not pushed this Iowa family to move to a big city. In fact, when not performing, they stay busy on their family farm or at their own Browns Century Theater, where they host various artists and shows year-round.</span></p><p><span><strong>LINKS:</strong></span><br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.thebrownsmusic.com/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span>www.thebrownsmusic.com/</span></a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.facebook.com/thebrownsmusic/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span>www.facebook.com/thebrownsmusic/</span></a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.instagram.com/thebrownsmusic/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span>www.instagram.com/thebrownsmusic/</span></a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBrownsMusic" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span>www.youtube.com/user/TheBrownsMusic</span></a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/71710952023-03-17T09:45:00-04:002023-05-08T10:37:47-04:00(March 17, 2023) - StowTown Records Announces New Digital Album Release From Talented Vocalist Buddy Mullins<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/495039/7daa010401d8c7050002dc9aae721960565f2dfa/original/buddy-mullins-2023-fearless.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_right border_" /></p><p><span><strong>StowTown Records</strong> has announced the digital release of a brand new album from singer/songwriter <strong>Buddy Mullins.</strong> </span><i><span><strong>Fearless</strong></span></i><span> marks the debut release from Mullins under the StowTown label, and features 12 original cuts penned by Mullins, complemented by the rich, soulful vocals that have made this talented musician so loved by audiences for decades.</span></p><p><span>Buddy Mullins is no stranger to the gospel music arena. Over the years, Mullins has been featured on the popular Gaither Homecoming Video Series and even traveled as a member of the multi-Grammy winning, Gaither Vocal Band during the ‘90s. His time with the group earned him an induction into the Gospel Music Association’s Hall of Fame. In addition to the Gaither Vocal Band, Mullins has had the privilege of performing with such acclaimed recording artists as Clay Crosse, NewSong, DC Talk, Newsboys, Steven Curtis Chapman and Amy Grant. He has also been featured with noted youth author and speaker, Josh McDowell, and has been a part of the renowned Billy Graham Crusades. Currently a member of the popular vocal group<strong>, The Booth Brothers</strong>, Mullins’ musical gifts and talents, as well as his endearing personality, have made him a favorite among fans and peers alike. </span></p><p><span>The completion of </span><i><span>Fearless</span></i><span> brings to fruition a labor of love for Mullins, who, along with his wife Kerri, has devoted his life to world missions. Mullins serves as CEO of <strong>Hope for the World Foundation</strong>, an organization committed to sharing God’s love for people by providing their basic needs in order to share the love of Christ. The mission, originally born in Albania to provide for the extreme needs of orphans, has expanded to reach the gypsy community, as well as the underprivileged and handicapped residents of Albania. All proceeds from the sale of Fearless will support Hope for the World. StowTown Records President <strong>Landon Beene</strong> states, “Buddy Mullins is a seasoned veteran of the gospel music industry, and working with him is always a pleasure. His heart for people is evident in both his music and ministry, and the team at StowTown Records is happy to partner with him on the digital release of </span><i><span>Fearless</span></i><span>.” </span></p><p><span>The message of each song on </span><i><span>Fearless</span></i><span> is meant to provide hope. “This project was created from all we have been going through in our world over the past couple of years,” Mullins shares. “Realizing that we have not been given the ‘spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind,’ is what these songs proclaim!” </span></p><p><span>Produced by multi-award winning musician/arranger <strong>Jason Webb</strong>, each song reminds and encourages the listener that God is in control regardless of life’s circumstances. The recording opens with “Moment of Hope,” which conveys the triumphant message of hope in Christ. Mullins enlisted his friends, <strong>The Gaither Vocal Band</strong>, to join him on this particular song, written after the intensity of the 2020 global lockdown and worldwide pandemic. A clear celebration of life, the song proclaims that in every situation children of God can find a moment of hope. </span><span style="color:black;">"I don't know of a better heart in the field of gospel music than Buddy Mullins. He believes and lives out what he sings,” expressed <strong>Bill Gaither</strong>. </span></p><p><span>“This is such a special project for me,” Mullins explains, “and I was thrilled to have some very special friends join me to help to make it so special. It meant so much to have my great friends, The Gaither Vocal Band sing with me, and I’m so grateful for my producer and friend Jason Webb, who truly caught the vision for these songs and brought them to life. I’m also grateful to StowTown and Provident for helping us get this message out in a powerful way.”</span></p><p><span>From beginning to end, </span><i><span>Fearless</span></i><span> conveys the overwhelming message of God’s provision, love and protection. “God, who has overcome the world,” Mullins states, “wants us to walk fearlessly into the future with the promise that He is there too. I believe these songs will strengthen the spirit and soul of each listener and encourage them to live out loud with confidence in Christ.”</span></p><p><i><span>Fearless</span></i><span> is distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony</strong> and is available<strong> </strong>at all digital music outlets<strong> </strong>worldwide </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://BuddyMullins.lnk.to/Fearless" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><span><strong>HERE</strong></span></a><span>.</span></p><p> </p><p><i><span><strong><u>Fearless</u></strong></span></i><span><strong><u> Song List</u>:</strong></span><br><span>Moment of Hope</span><br><span>Hold These Walls</span><br><span>Fearless</span><br><span>I Promise You</span><br><span>Giant Fall</span><br><span>That’s Why We Pray</span><br><span>Killer</span><br><span>Here I Am</span><br><span>Learn To Be</span><br><span>Safe and Sound</span><br><span>Love Like You</span><br><span>Trust You</span></p><p> </p><p><span><strong>ABOUT BUDDY MULLINS:</strong></span><br><span>Buddy Mullins is best known as an outstanding vocal artist and was inducted into the Gospel Music Association’s Hall of Fame for his time singing with the Grammy and Dove Award winning Gaither Vocal Band.

This collection of songs is available at all digital music outlets today <a class="no-pjax" href="https://TheSteeles.lnk.to/Reason" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><strong>here</strong></a> and is distributed worldwide by <strong>Provident/Sony Distribution</strong>.</p><p>“After doing this for so long, you would think we would eventually run out of things to say. But as long as God is good and we are able, we plan to keep on writing and singing,” states <strong>Jeff Steele</strong>. “The message of this album is near and dear to me. We all need grace, myself included, because we are all going through something.”</p><p>Included on the album are eight songs, all co-written by <strong>Brad Steele</strong>. Long-time fans have watched Brad grow up in his family group, and it is evident that he spent that time learning the skills of songwriting and communication from his father Jeff. And while Brad carries on that family legacy, he has grown into a solid songwriter in his own right, creating songs that speak to his generation with the lyrical depth for which The Steeles are so well known. “On this album alone, we talk about addiction and depression and regret and all those other things we like to act like we as Christians don’t battle,” Brad shares. “We strive to write and select songs that we know are going to meet people in the middle of whatever they’re going through and let them know there’s a God who loves them and cares about them. I like to think we try to connect with audiences of all ages and musical preferences. I think this new album does that really well.”</p><p>As a forerunner to this album, they released the song <strong>“A Hundred Different Altars,”</strong> which highlights the mercy and forgiveness of our loving God, no matter the difficult situation. Similarly, the song <strong>“In The Dark”</strong> speaks to struggles that weigh us down and isolate us, reminding us that God will “join you in the dark” and urges us not to give up. These two songs are thematically balanced by songs of worship, such as <strong>“Undefeated”</strong> and <strong>“Braggin’ On Jesus.”</strong> The title cut, <strong>“Be The Reason,” </strong>encourages us to intentionally be the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us, thereby showing them His love.</p><p>Once again, The Steeles partnered with longtime producer and friend <strong>Wayne Haun </strong>for <i>Be The Reason</i>. As an instrumental force behind their biggest albums, nobody knows the music of The Steeles better than Haun. “Wayne is just like family to us,” reveals <strong>Sherry Steele</strong>. “We have worked on so many projects together; he truly is the best. He brings each song to life in a way that you could have never imagined.” </p><p>Wayne agrees that their personal friendship is special, and he continues to champion The Steeles as writers and artists. “I love the way The Steeles rise to a new level every time an album releases,” he shares. “These songs gave me chills as I listened to them in their rawest form. I knew then that they were special. ‘A Hundred Different Altars’ alone is worth the price of the project. That may very well be one of the most important songs written for the body of Christ.”</p><p>The Steeles’ musical legacy is solidly sound. More importantly, <i>Be The Reason</i> continues to point people to the One who meets them where they are in the midst of struggles and chaos. The Steeles encourage listeners to give praise to God, not only for what He’s done, but simply for who He is. And that is what makes <i>Be The Reason</i> a must-have album.</p><p><i><strong><u>Be The Reason</u></strong></i><strong><u> Song List:</u></strong><br>Braggin’ On Jesus (Brad Steele & Jeff Steele)<br>Undefeated (Brad Steele, Darryl Johnson & Savannah McKee)<br>Be The Reason (Brad Steele, Jeff Steele & John Mathis, Jr.)<br>A Hundred Different Altars (Brad Steele, Joel Lindsey & Brad Guldemond)<br>Every Almost (Brad Steele, Sue C.

During this time, they teamed up with super-producer Wayne Haun for many of their projects. In 2004, The Steeles left the road and returned to pastoring a church in Alabama. In 2012, Jeff Steele wrote another hit song, “But God,” that was released to radio and considered an instant standard. Other hit songs followed, including the Singing News 2018 number one Song of the Year, “Prodigals.” Their freshman StowTown release, <i>A Song To Remind You</i>, was a radio and fan favorite album yielding multiple Top 10 songs. Jeff still pastors a growing non-denominational church in Cullman, AL. The Steeles consist of Sherry and Jeff Steele and their son Brad.</p><p> </p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.jeffrsteele.com/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.jeffrsteele.com/ </a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.facebook.com/steelesmusic/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.facebook.com/steelesmusic/ </a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/jeffrsteele" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://twitter.com/jeffrsteele</a> / <a class="no-pjax" href="https://twitter.com/BradSteele01" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://twitter.com/BradSteele01</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.instagram.com/thesteelesmusic1/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.instagram.com/thesteelesmusic1/</a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzMMjFSALvpSFqOclrgb4Cg" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzMMjFSALvpSFqOclrgb4Cg</a></p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/71543782023-02-15T13:07:23-05:002023-05-08T10:39:51-04:00(February 9, 2023) - StowTown Artist Tiffany Coburn Encourages Worship Pastors at Orlando Conference<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/495039/2d1d9f7d344b49706b104057180a7e6efc126a87/original/tiffany-coburn-020723.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_right border_" /></p><p><strong>StowTown Records </strong>vocalist <strong>Tiffany Coburn </strong>spent her Tuesday evening encouraging worship pastors from around the country at the <strong>Metro2Music</strong> conference in <strong>Orlando, FL</strong>. After full days of sessions and workshops, the evenings of worship become a time for these music leaders themselves to be led in worship. For the 2023 conference, evening performers included The Sound, Paula Dunn and StowTown artists Tiffany Coburn and Charles Billingsley.</p><p>Tiffany shared several songs from her two StowTown albums <i><strong>You Are More</strong></i> and<i> <strong>Near to the Heart</strong></i>, including the jazzy<i> </i>“Blessed Assurance,” the Voctave-backed “How Great Thou Art” and the moving ballad “Seasons of the Soul.” Tiffany also sang her current radio single, “Matchless,” which features Point of Grace. A fun moment of the evening was learning that one of the writers of her song “Let Your Light So Shine,” Mark Mathes, was a conference attendee. It was a unique thrill to sing this song with him there.</p><p>The evening ended with Tiffany leading the crowd in corporate worship. The tenderness with which she led was warmly received and the heavenly harmonies filled the room to close out the day. “What a great time we had. It was a get-real kind of night. We all need time where we can be with our peers and celebrate everything; a time to tell stories, and a time to laugh at ourselves and the joy of ministry,” reflects Tiffany. “This was also a wonderful time to celebrate the call on all of our lives. Sometimes that’s not easy. Sometimes the difficulty of the call allows the enemy to tempt us to quit. But I felt like this event allowed us to talk about that and encourage each other to stay the course and to give it to God. We ended our evening with an awesome time of worship singing songs that did nothing but give praise and honor to God. I’m so filled up. I’m walking on clouds!<br>What a night! All praise be to God for tonight and for always.”</p><p><i>You Are More</i> and <i>Near to the Heart</i> are distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony</strong>.

As with their previous releases, <i>Hymns and Worship</i> seeks to appeal to musical preferences for both their long-time gospel music fans as well as the younger generation more familiar with current popular music. The simplicity of hymns like <strong>“My Jesus, I Love Thee”</strong> and <strong>“Great Is Thy Faithfulness” </strong>brings subtle, personal worship moments to the album. Recent CCM and Praise & Worship covers include Zach Williams’ <strong>“Less Like Me,”</strong> <strong>“The Blessing”</strong> (Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe), <strong>“Help is on the Way (Maybe Midnight)” </strong>by Toby Mac, and the current hit <strong>“My Jesus”</strong> by Anne Wilson. The brilliant arrangements of each of these songs create a masterpiece of worship where the focus is truly on the One worthy of our praise. </p><p>“We love the Church,” founding group member <strong>Eric Bennett </strong>states. “We believe music plays such a vital part in the worship service. With this recording, our desire was to bring together a collection of songs that are sung each Sunday in churches nationwide.” </p><p><i>Hymns and Worship</i> reunites Triumphant Quartet with veteran multi-award winning producer <strong>Wayne Haun</strong>, and the result is a masterful collection of songs that captures the spirit of Sunday worship while staying true to the Triumphant Quartet sound fans know and love. “It’s fun working with Triumphant Quartet because they’re always thinking outside the box and progressing,” shares Haun. “There’s really something for everyone on this album: the modern, the traditional, the acoustic, the groove, the contemporary and the stately. And yet somehow it’s the perfect blend of music without sounding forced or arduous.” </p><p>Throughout the past two decades, Triumphant Quartet has been honored with numerous accolades, including the 2019 <strong>Gospel Music Association Dove Award</strong> for <strong>Southern Gospel Album of the Year </strong>for the album <i><strong>Yes</strong></i> and a 2021 GMA Dove Award nomination for the same category with their release <i><strong>Bigger Than Sunday</strong></i>. The latter release featured the song <strong>“Eye of the Storm”</strong> which was voted as the 2021 <strong>Singing News Fan Award Favorite Song of the Year</strong>. The radio and concert success of songs like <strong>“Goodness of God”</strong> and <strong>“Waymaker”</strong> leads Triumphant Quartet to believe that they are following God’s unique musical plan for them with <i>Hymns and Worship</i>. </p><p><i>Hymns and Worship</i> is distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony</strong> and is available on all digital platforms worldwide <a class="no-pjax" href="https://triumphantquartet.lnk.to/HymnsWorship" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="HERE"><strong>HERE</strong></a> and wherever Christian music is sold, including <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.christianbook.com/hymns-and-worship-cd/0643157452850/pd/CD14103?event=ESRCG" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="christianbook.com">christianbook.com</a>, <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hymns-worship-triumphant-quartet/39182854?ean=0643157452850" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="barnesandnoble.com">barnesandnoble.com</a> and <a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.amazon.com/Hymns-Worship-Triumphant-Quartet/dp/B0BNNT3Q4V/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2S3RPQ4ATSBIM&keywords=triumphant+quartet+hymns+and+worship&qid=1674072641&sprefix=triumphant+quartet+hymns+and+worship%2Caps%2C265&sr=8-1" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="amazon.com">amazon.com</a>. </p><p><i><strong>Hymns and Worship</strong></i><strong> Track List: </strong><br>Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) <br>Mercy <br>Less Like Me <br>Arise My Love <br>My Jesus, I Love Thee <br>Evidence <br>It Is Well With My Soul <br>Homecoming <br>My Jesus <br>Great Is They Faithfulness <br>Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight) <br>How Great Thou Art <br>The Blessing (<i>featuring Karen Peck Gooch</i>) </p><p style="text-align:center;">### </p><p><strong>ABOUT TRIUMPHANT QUARTET: </strong><br>From their beginnings at the Louise Mandrell Theater in Pigeon Forge, TN, in 2003, Triumphant Quartet has shown what consistency and quality look like in Gospel Music. Their smooth harmonies and rich quartet sound quickly gained national attention, creating a demand for concert appearances outside of their home theater. In 2008, they left the theater to take their music on the road nationally. As the recipients of multiple fan and industry awards, Triumphant has also achieved great success on radio. They excel in diversity and expand their musical borders to a wide variety of styles that are enjoyed by church audiences and music lovers of all ages. Audience goers find themselves smiling, laughing, crying, encouraged and uplifted, but most of all, they walk away having had the gospel message presented to them in a powerful way. Jesus Christ is Triumphant Quartet’s focus, and it is their hope that many will receive Christ as their Lord and Savior, because He is the reason they sing. </p><p><strong>LINKS: </strong><br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.triumphantquartet.com" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="www.triumphantquartet.com ">www.triumphantquartet.com </a><br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.facebook.com/TriumphantQuartet/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="www.facebook.com/TriumphantQuartet/">www.facebook.com/TriumphantQuartet/</a> <br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.instagram.com/triumphantquartet/" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="www.instagram.com/triumphantquartet/">www.instagram.com/triumphantquartet/</a> <br><a class="no-pjax" href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLLbxTomiUSruFmmW7idWA" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLLbxTomiUSruFmmW7idWA">www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLLbxTomiUSruFmmW7idWA</a></p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/70948542022-11-04T09:00:00-04:002022-11-04T09:00:03-04:00(November 4, 2022) - StowTown Records Announces New Christmas Release From The Kramers<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/3abd730b10a25f90e1d1be45aafd8d2360c2f21d/original/kramers-2022-christmas.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" />Just before the Holiday season kicks into high gear, <strong>StowTown Records</strong> has announced the release of a brand new Christmas recording from talented musical family, <strong>The Kramers</strong>.

Daniel Smith</strong>, the 11-track live recording spotlights guest turns from Gospel icon<strong> Alvin Slaughter</strong>, Dove Award-winning vocalist <strong>TaRanda Greene</strong>, and <strong>Elevation Worship’s Brad Hudson</strong>. Throughout the collection, the group's signature sound takes centerstage atop Inspirational, Gospel and contemporary melodies enveloped in sweeping orchestral arrangements. <br> <br>“After almost a year-and-a-half of being away from each other in person, it was amazing to get back together to worship, pray and sing for the Lord,” shares Carol Cymbala of the new recording. “A lot changed in Brooklyn during the pandemic, and the need is even greater now to shine our light for Jesus. Seasons change, but God remains faithful. Many have left Brooklyn and relocated due to the terrible COVID spikes, increased crime, and deterioration of the city, but the Lord has once again raised up a faithful group of devoted singers who want to spread the Gospel and glorify God.” <br> <br>Album opener “There’s Nothing Better” (feat. TaRanda Greene and Brad Hudson) plots a joyful course for a range of impassioned anthems proclaiming God’s goodness, faithfulness and worthiness to be praised. The energetic Alvin Slaughter-led “For My Good” further fuels an atmosphere of authentic worship, while group favorite “He’s Been Faithful" (feat. Greene) also stands among the project's many highlights. <br> <br>“At the lowest point in my life, God greatly used Pastor Jim and Mrs. Carol Cymbala to help me find a new hope in living,” explains Greene of her personal ties to the congregation. “This church family has been there for me in ways they will never realize until we get home.” <br> <br>“I’ve been recording songs with The Brooklyn Tabernacle for 12 years now, and this album reflects every heartfelt moment I can recall,” Greene adds. “I hope audiences will experience what I do when I hear this music—a sound of home that calls you closer to the feet of Jesus.” <br> <br>“We want to remind people that God is faithful, and His love never changes,” Cymbala says. “We pray that the new project will inspire hope instead of fear (‘I Will Not Fear,’ ‘He’s Holding You’) and deepen our faith in Jesus Christ (‘I Speak Jesus,’ ‘You Have Been Good’). The songs we’ve recorded are all based on the eternal Truth of God’s Word, which can never change or pass away.” <br> <br>“It's a new season for The Brooklyn Tabernacle and I feel this project reflects that,” Cymbala concludes. “There’s a freshness to the sound but the message remains focused on Jesus and His great love. The songs and rhythms are different stylistically and the lush orchestrations greatly enhance the listening experience. I’m excited that we can present what I feel is the best project God has ever helped us to do.”</p>

<p>The rich heritage of The Booth Brothers began over four decades ago as two young brothers, <strong>Ronnie</strong> and <strong>Michael</strong>, developed a deep love of harmony and chose to follow in their father’s footsteps, pursuing a career in the music industry. Before long, the brothers and their dad began to garner national attention and became one of the most awarded groups in gospel music. </p>
<p>In 2021, Ronnie made the decision to retire and longtime group member, Paul Lancaster, resigned after the passing of his precious wife, Michelle. After the departure of these great men from the group, Michael contacted friend and former group member, <strong>Jim Brady</strong>, to see if he would join him and the incredibly talented <strong>Buddy Mullins</strong> to forge ahead and carry on the ministry of the Booth Brothers. The three have joined forces and are taking the country by storm with the unmistakable smooth harmony that their listeners so dearly love. </p>
<p>This new recording from Michael Booth and his longtime friends offers twelve songs, most of which are written or co-written by Jim and Buddy, that appropriately convey the faithfulness of a loving Savior. “We serve an awesome God whose faithfulness has been proven time and again,” states Michael Booth. “Over the past year or so, The Booth Brothers have experienced our share of changes and uncertainty, but God has never failed us, and this latest recording is a testament to how He speaks to us as seasons and circumstances change, even through the chaos and uncertainty that often surrounds us.” </p>
<p>The first single, <strong>“Room Full of Stories,”</strong> can already be heard on radio stations across the country. Fans and friends of The Booth Brothers know how well they connect with their audiences, and this song is a nod to that. From the stage, Michael, Buddy and Jim see many faces in the crowd, but behind each face is a story, and each story differs from the next. While we all have our own stories, a common theme can be found: the grace and faithfulness of our loving God. </p>
<p><em>Speak Jesus</em> reunites The Booth Brothers with Grammy®-nominated songwriter, engineer and producer <strong>Barry Weeks</strong>. Michael expressed his appreciation, “Barry’s leadership brought out the best in each of us, in addition to bringing out the best in the musicians and the songs. We absolutely love working with him. He’s worked with some of the most notable artists in the business, and we are honored that he would lend his talents to help us produce what we believe is truly one of our most meaningful projects yet. We are so thrilled with the finished recording, and we think our listeners will be as well.” </p>
<p>President and CEO of StowTown Records Landon Beene shares, “It has been my great honor to work with the Booth Brothers over the last several years, as both their former manager and a concert promoter. To now have them as artists on the StowTown Records label and to represent their music during this new era of ministry is an absolute privilege. Our team is thrilled to walk alongside them and cheer them on in this new season. We are excited to be releasing what we feel is one of their best recordings to date and can’t wait to see how the Lord uses this music to touch the hearts of those who will hear it.” </p>
<p>With <em>Speak Jesus</em>, The Booth Brothers deliver a powerful message of hope during challenging times and seasons of change. This recording features progressive, tight harmonies that have become synonymous with The Booth Brothers. The album reaffirms that although situations and circumstances change, and chaos and uncertainty can bring about fear, God’s grace is always sufficient. Each song conveys that there is victory on the other side of the valley and encourages all who listen to simply <em>Speak Jesus </em>in those trying times. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Sing Me There</em> promises even more success for the popular Singing News Fan Award Favorite New Artist nominee, as it offers musical worship from beginning to end. The recording features 12 songs, written by prolific writers, including <strong>Jason Cox</strong>, <strong>Kenna Turner West</strong>, <strong>Jeff Bumgardner</strong>, <strong>Joel Lindsey</strong>, <strong>Rachel McCutcheon</strong> and Wayne Haun. Each song ushers the listener into a state of true reverence and adoration, providing a musical connection to the throne room of heaven. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Much like previous recordings by The Kramers, <em>Sing Me There</em> provides powerful songs of worship, hope, redemption, salvation, love and praise, each complemented by lush arrangements and inspiring orchestrations, which allow the message to shine through and penetrate hearts. “Our new project is filled with incredible messages,” group member, <strong>Maria Wolfe</strong> states. “We carefully prayed over every song we chose, and we feel that this collection is the most special we’ve ever had! To say we are excited about this release is an understatement. We feel so incredibly blessed to be produced by Wayne Haun and work with some of the greatest writers and musicians of all time.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just as The Kramers were thrilled to have the opportunity to have Haun produce this latest effort, Haun was grateful to work with The Kramers once again. “Each member of The Kramers could easily have their own successful music career,” Haun shares. “All four, <strong>Scott</strong>, <strong>Rachel</strong>, Maria and <strong>Ben</strong>, are extremely talented and bring something completely original to the table. The way they pull off the variety of styles on this album is beautiful. The Kramers’ genuine commitment to the Lord is what impresses me the most.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For more than two decades, The Kramers have led audiences into an attitude of worship that has been embraced by listeners of all ages. <em>Sing Me There</em> continues that tradition, recognizing the true power in a song, blending melodies and harmonies with lyrics of praise that rapture the listener to heaven’s throne.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">With <em>Love is the Voice</em>, The Taylors demonstrate rich vocal harmonies, delivered with personal conviction. <strong>Chris Taylor</strong> shares, “We are beyond excited to present our newest musical release <em>Love is the Voice</em>. This album was born from a desire to encourage listeners to hear and believe the promises of God. From the gorgeous orchestrations to the delightful vocal arrangements, each song is hand-selected to highlight the abilities of the singer and display their desire to worship God. As a special surprise, and much to the delight of fans of the original group, <strong>Leslie (Perkins)</strong> has joined us, adding her beautiful soprano voice to this project. We invite you to listen to the message of this incredible album; we know you won’t be disappointed.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This recording affords The Taylors yet another opportunity to work with multi-award winning producer, <strong>Wayne Haun</strong>, who always seems to bring songs that offer encouragement and inspiration to the album. Additional songwriters whose compositions are included in the nine-song recording include <strong>Scotty Inman</strong>, <strong>Lee Black</strong>, <strong>Chris Binion</strong>, <strong>Dave Clark</strong> and <strong>Karen Peck Gooch</strong>, just to name a few. And while most of the songs are new, there is one more familiar song included on the album. “I’m Loving You More Every Day” was made popular as a worship chorus by <strong>The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir</strong>. Haun explains, “Most people didn’t know that this song had verses. <strong>Jimmy and Becky Pearce</strong> brought in <strong>Aaron Wilburn</strong> to write a second verse; and the song, with both verses, has never been recorded until now. After lying dormant for 30-plus years, we get to hear this popular song in a whole new way.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For a season, The Taylors, <strong>Jonathan</strong>, Chris, Leslie and <strong>Suzanne (Hise)</strong>, have limited their travel to be with their young families. However, their music is connecting with concert goers throughout the country and across the globe via radio and streaming. This is just one reason why they place great emphasis on their song choices. These songs, coupled with what producer Wayne Haun calls “smooth, silky sounds,” make The Taylors a perennial fan favorite. “The Taylors choose heartfelt material and consistently offer the most comforting sounds; you know, the ones that you could sit and listen to all day. Nothing beats a family blend, and these four have such tight harmonies that you often can’t tell who is singing which part. They truly become one unit – one voice.” </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">This latest recording features 10 songs with masterful production, powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics from several of gospel music’s most prolific writers, including <strong>Joel Lindsey</strong>, <strong>Wayne Haun</strong>, <strong>Joseph Habedank</strong> and <strong>Marcia Henry</strong>, just to name a few. In addition to the title cut and first single, <strong>“John 3:16 Is Calling Out to You,”</strong> co-written by Joel Lindsey and <strong>Val Dacus</strong>, other cuts include “I Think I’ll Just Go On,” “Heaven To Me” and the timeless classic, “That Sounds Like Home To Me,” written by legendary writers <strong>Eddie Crook</strong> and<strong> Aaron Wilburn</strong>. For The Perrys, the song that will be especially meaningful is “Calvary’s Touch,” which was penned by <strong>Karen McPherson</strong> and the late <strong>Kyla Rowland</strong>. Just before Kyla’s passing earlier this year, she gave this song to The Perrys for this album, and it may very well be the final new recording of a Kyla Rowland song. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Led by longtime group member, <strong>Libbi Perry Stuffle</strong>, The Perrys have enjoyed numerous honors and accolades, as well as dozens of radio hits. “It has been amazing to see how God has worked in the lives of Libbi and The Perrys over the years,” states StowTown Records President <strong>Landon Beene</strong>. “They have endured some very difficult times, but God has honored their faithfulness and their desire to always present the message of the Gospel. StowTown is delighted to have the privilege to present this project to listeners worldwide.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>John 3:16</em> offers listeners victory, encouragement and redemption, as well as the undeniable message of the saving power of Christ. “John 3:16 is probably the most well-known scripture in the world,” Libbi states. “We have never been ashamed to proclaim that message every time we step on stage. It’s ageless, and we will never grow tired of sharing it.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For Libbi and The Perrys, it was a thrill to be back in the studio with the group’s longtime producer and friend, Wayne Haun. It was also thrilling to have the opportunity to record songs from several writers who have impacted their musical journey in a profound way. “With all the changes we have experienced over the past few years, we are truly blessed to be able to look back and find consistency,” Libbi shares. “Wayne is a longtime friend and producer and always pushes us to do our very best in the studio. He is also great with helping us find just the right songs. We were blessed to be able to include songs written by some very special friends who have afforded us the opportunity to deliver the eternal message that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>John 3:16</em> is distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony </strong>and is available at digital and retail outlets worldwide. </p>
<p><strong><em>John 3:16 </em>Track List:</strong><br>Baptized<br>Calvary’s Touch<br>God Did<br>Heaven To Me<br>I Think I’ll Just Go On<br>John 3:16 Is Calling Out To You<br>Tell The Grave<br>That Sounds Like Home To Me<br>Warmin’ Up<br>Whatever It Takes </p>

In true<strong> Ernie Haase</strong> fashion, he’s “keeping on” with another musical offering for fans. Coming out of a difficult time for live performances, <strong>Ernie Haase & Signature Sound </strong>recorded a live concert DVD just as soon as it was possible to do so. <em><strong>Keeping On Live!</strong></em>, recorded last year at the <strong>Gaither Studios</strong> in Alexandria, IN, is available today wherever gospel music is sold.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The album <em><strong>Keeping On </strong></em>has had tremendous success since its release in July 2021 having received a <strong>GRAMMY® </strong>nomination for Roots Gospel Album of the Year, as well as a<strong> GMA Dove Award</strong> nomination for Southern Gospel Song of the Year for “Wake Up,” the first single from this album. Additionally, EHSS was honored with the GMA Dove Award for Southern Gospel Artist of the Year and the <strong>Singing News Fan Award</strong> for Quartet of the Year. Yet with these accolades, Ernie Haase, <strong>Dustin Doyle</strong>, <strong>Doug Anderson</strong> and <strong>Paul Harkey</strong> have kept their focus on creating music and staying connected with fans, all the while encouraging them to “Keep On Keeping On.” Their weekly online shows, originally started during the 2020 touring season, have been a welcomed Friday night mainstay for many. And while EHSS is blessed to be invited into people’s homes, nothing can take the place of a live concert experience. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“The words to ‘Keep On Keeping On’ were written from a personal experience,” shares Ernie Haase. “Thank God He had something new, something fresh, something more for us. It became another level of living and thinking. It is my prayer that this full length DVD of those songs from our Keeping On album will not only bless others, but also remind them in many ways that ‘God can be trusted’ through every part of the journey.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Keeping On Live! </em>(DVD) and <em>Keeping On</em> (CD) are both distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony Distribution</strong> and are available online and at your local Christian retailer.</p>

The sky is truly the limit for <strong>Jeff Treece</strong>, his wife <strong>Misty</strong> and brother, <strong>Dusty</strong>. Their new <strong>StowTown Records</strong> album is available at retail and digital music outlets worldwide and is distributed exclusively by <strong>Provident/Sony Distribution</strong>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sunday Drive is no stranger to gospel music. They come to the label with a wealth of industry experience, including numerous hits songs. Their current radio single from this album, <strong>“Grace and Goodness,”</strong> recently debuted on the <strong>Singing News</strong> Top 80 chart and continues to gain steam. It has also ranked in the Top 10 on the Singing News Power 50 Weekly chart. With all of the focus they put into carefully selecting songs for their album, this success is no surprise. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The songs chosen are a top priority for Sunday Drive. Dusty Treece shares, “We couldn’t be more excited about our new <em>Breaking Boundaries</em> project. It is filled with encouraging and uplifting songs. When we heard them, they immediately ministered to us. As a group, we have always lived by the philosophy that a song needs to minister to us, before it can minister to others through us.” With offerings from industry songwriting giants like <strong>Bill & Gloria Gaither</strong>, <strong>Joel Lindsey</strong>, <strong>Jeff Steele</strong>, <strong>Tony Wood</strong>, <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> and <strong>Larry Gatlin</strong>, among many others, this selection of songs provides a depth that, when coupled with stellar production, creates a top-notch album. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">StowTown Records co-founder and album producer, Wayne Haun, treated the nine songs on this album with the same care and attention he gives every artist and album. But the relationship with this artist was different. Wayne explains, “I have known the Treece family pretty much all of my life. I grew up just down the road from Jeff and Dusty. We were constantly going to all-night sings. I was a big fan of their family group. Their late mother, <strong>Violet</strong>, was such a mentor to me. She encouraged me to continue songwriting even when I was just starting out, and my songs were horrible. For years, Jeff and I have talked about working together. It has been said many times that good things come to those who wait. And the time has finally come. I am so proud of what we have created. This is an album you just put on repeat and fall in love with over and over again.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“God’s hand has been evident through it all,” Dusty continues, “from the song selection, to pre-production, to recording, to post-production. He ordered every step, and we can’t wait to see how He uses it to encourage listeners.” </p>

Produced by GRAMMY®-winner <strong>Keith Everette Smith</strong> (Tasha Layton, TaRanda Greene) and executive produced by Dove Award-winning songwriter and producer <strong>Michael Neale</strong>, the seven-track set features songwriting contributions from Neale, for KING & COUNTRY’s Joel Smallbone, Charles Billingsley, Tony Wood and Matt Armstrong, among other leading names. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_regular">Compelling anthems, including project-opener “Every Other Throne,” “Beauty Of The Cross,” and the Revelation-inspired title-cut, stand alongside reimagined renditions of such current favorites as Lauren Daigle’s “You Say” and Crowder’s “All My Hope”—each track putting Hebron Road’s soaring tenor harmonies front and center. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_regular">“<em>In A Moment</em> represents a journey of faith, family and a lifetime of brotherhood,” shares Hebron Road’s<strong> Rick Briscoe</strong>. “Our sincere aim for this album is to encourage every listener with a renewed sense of Hope for their journey. We also pray each song brings a fresh awareness of God’s presence for when the road gets long.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_regular">"Hebron Road's vocal artistry is in a league all its own," says executive producer Michael Neale. “Their music is timeless, yet fresh, and their voices are the sound of generations coming together. They absolutely sing the stars down, but better yet, they point us to the One who made the stars." </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_regular">“A voice is nothing without stories to tell, and stories of Jesus and His Gospel message are the very best stories to tell,” adds producer Keith Everette Smith. “I think that’s why Hebron Road is so special. You can just tell that Jesus is the reason for each note they sing.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="font_regular">“Along with our congregation at Prestonwood, I can honestly say the authentic worship and heartfelt voices of the men of Hebron Road have always been church favorites,” states <strong>Dr. Jack Graham</strong>, senior pastor, <strong>Prestonwood Baptist Church</strong>. “Their beautifully-woven vocal gifts are on full display in this debut project of modern Inspirational music. And as great as they are as vocalists, they’re even greater men of God.” </span></p>

Previously released on CD, the album’s long-awaited digital debut puts the scope of Lovelace’s keyboard virtuosity—from show-stopping selections to tender songs of quiet reflection—on full display. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sweeping orchestral opener “He Looked Beyond My Fault (Danny Boy)” introduces a collection of 10 diverse piano interpretations highlighted by Gospel toe-tapper “Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child”; an emotive arrangement of the modern worship favorite “Shout to the Lord”; and stirring renditions of the beloved hymns “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” and “It Is Well with My Soul," among others. <em>Piano Praise, Volume 1</em> concludes with Lovelace's jazz-infused take on the timeless American classic “Over the Rainbow.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“In my 20s, I worked as a studio piano player in Mobile, Alabama, while also playing in a gospel group," Lovelace shares of his musical history. "I loved working on a vast array of albums—yes, vinyl—in every genre imaginable, and studio work solidified my passion for variety. When I became a full-time comedian, I simply could not do shows without incorporating music. For me, that would be like having coconut cake without a fresh cup of coffee." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"Many people had requested I record a piano project, but I was at a loss about which songs to choose," he adds. "My wife, Mary Alice, suggested I select songs that I play at home late at night. She said, ‘Record the songs you love.’ So this collection is old and new and includes different stylings. I’m grateful for the writers of these songs, and I hope that some of the melodies and chords touch other hearts as they have mine.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Even the best instruments grow cold and need to be re-tuned,” says GRAMMY®-nominated, Dove Award-winning recording artist and StowTown Records co-founder<strong> Ernie Haase</strong>. “My heart needed retuning today. I had grown cold with cares. My friend, Tim Lovelace, who has made me laugh many times, has brought a smile and warmth to my heart with his beautiful piano project. Thank you, Tim! Do you need retuning? I highly recommend Tim Lovelace’s Piano Praise project!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The digital debut of <em>Piano Praise, Volume 1</em> follows the launch of Lovelace's “Moments that Motivate” podcast last month. Available on major podcasting platforms, the show spotlights humorous and often touching stories from Lovelace’s life, shared with a heaping dose of inspirational insight. </p>

Songwriters and musicians have blessed us with so many songs about the Christ Child. Today, two <strong>StowTown</strong> artists have released two more amazing Christmas songs. <strong>The Kramers</strong> released <strong>“All You Are,”</strong> and <strong>The Steeles</strong> released <strong>“Christmas More Than Ever”</strong> on all digital music platforms. Both songs have already received strong radio airplay, and these artists are excited to give fans the opportunity to add the singles to their personal playlists for the Christmas season. </p>
<p>“All You Are,” written by <strong>Allie LaPointe</strong>, <strong>Nick Robertson</strong> and <strong>Tony Wood</strong>, will be part of The Kramers’ 2022 album release, <em><strong>Christmas</strong></em>. <strong>Maria Kramer Wolfe</strong>’s angelic vocals are complemented by choir and orchestra for this worship anthem that proclaims that the love, peace, hope and joy we need is all found in Jesus. The tender treatment of this song makes this a remarkable addition to any Christmas playlist. </p>
<p>Written by <strong>Jeff Steele</strong>, <strong>Brad Steele</strong> and <strong>John Mathis, Jr.</strong>, “Christmas More Than Ever” is a timely Christmas song from The Steeles. The lyrics take us away from the chaos of current events and back to what is familiar: being fireside with friends and family, Christmas trees and lights, the manger – and most of all, the baby. This year, we need “Christmas More Than Ever.” </p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_regular"><em>JIM BRADY TO REJOIN THE BOOTH BROTHERS ON JANUARY 7, 2022 </em></span></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>JIM & MELISSA BRADY TO CONTINUE THEIR FULL-TIME MINISTRY </em></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>THE BOOTH BROTHERS ANNOUNCE LIMITED TOURING SCHEDULE IN 2022</em></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the top groups in Gospel music, <strong>The Booth Brothers</strong>, currently consisting of <strong>Michael Booth</strong>, <strong>Paul Lancaster</strong>, and <strong>Buddy Mullins</strong>, has big announcements for 2022. Following the death of Paul Lancaster's wife, <strong>Michelle</strong>, and brother this year, Lancaster has announced his departure from the group.<strong> Jim Brady</strong> of <strong>Jim & Melissa Brady</strong> is expected to rejoin The Booth Brothers beginning January 7, 2022. Jim Brady toured with The Booth Brothers previously for over 12 years. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Booth Brothers will have a limited touring schedule in 2022, with Jim & Melissa Brady, Michael Booth, and Buddy Mullins pursuing their individual ministries, as well. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Paul Lancaster commented saying, "It’s with a heavy heart that I make this announcement, but I need to come off the road with The Booth Brothers. Make no mistake, there is no job in Gospel music that I have enjoyed more than singing with The Booth Brothers. Truth be told, the events of this year have taken a huge toll on my mental, spiritual, and physical well-being and made it difficult to give The Booth Brothers and our audiences my best. For that reason, I am going home to try to heal and get well. I know one day I will be back out there singing again, because I love all of you, I love what I do, and I love the One I do it for. I just want God’s will to be done, however long it takes. To Michael, <strong>Ronnie</strong>, and Buddy, I am extremely grateful to have been able to stand on stage with you and for the unconditional friendship and support that you have shown me. I can’t thank everyone out there enough for the way you all have lifted me and my family up in prayer for the last 4 years, and especially this year, and I ask that you continue to do so. Join me in asking God to continue to bless The Booth Brothers ministry as Michael, Buddy, and Jim move forward." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Michael Booth shared, "Paul Lancaster has endured some of the greatest challenges that this life on earth can present. To navigate painful challenges is one thing, but to heal from them is a completely different undertaking. Paul is making a courageous move by stepping away from The Booth Brothers to prioritize the health of his mind, body, and spirit. With great anticipation, I am looking forward to witnessing God’s healing touch on Paul. His hope is in the Lord. When God’s work is complete, we will witness a beautiful new season for Paul and his family. He will always have the support of every member of The Booth Brothers team, past and present. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I could not be more grateful that the talented and beloved Jim Brady will be singing with Buddy and myself. Special thank you to <strong>The Harper Agency</strong> for efficiently balancing the schedules for The Booth Brothers, Jim & Melissa Brady, and my solo dates." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jim Brady added, "Eight years ago, I left the Booth Brothers to sing with my wife, Melissa, and we are having the time of our lives! God has opened doors we never dreamed possible, and we are truly enjoying this time together. Michael and I have spoken often about me touring with The Booth Brothers while continuing the Jim and Melissa Brady ministry, but scheduling conflicts made that impossible. With The Booth Brothers planning a limited touring schedule for 2022, and through the efforts of our mutual booking agency, the Harper Agency, it’s now possible for me to enjoy both. Michael is like a brother to me, and when we’re on stage together, it’s like we were never apart. So, while I continue to travel and sing with Melissa, this opportunity just feels natural, and I really look forward to being with The Booth Brothers again.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The new lineup promises to build on the vision for ministry and unique harmonic sound that sets The Booth Brothers apart in Gospel music.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p><span class="font_small"><u><strong>ABOUT THE BOOTH BROTHERS </strong></u><br>The Booth Brothers love Gospel music, believing it touches the soul and offers encouragement and hope. By singing and ministering to audiences through word and song, these gentlemen are fulfilling God’s call on their lives. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">Accolades: 11-time Singing News Fan Awards Trio of the Year; 9-time Singing News Fan Awards Artist of the Year; multiple Dove Award nominations and win; and Grammy® nominee. Michael Booth is 8-time Singing News Fan Awards Tenor of the Year; and Jim Brady is 6-time Singing News Fan Awards Lead/Baritone of the Year. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">Ron Booth, Sr., Michael Booth and Ronnie Booth’s father, immersed his sons in Gospel music during the time he sang with various Gospel quartets. Michael and Ronnie sang with their father as “Ron Booth and the Booth Brothers” until 1998, when Ron, Sr., left the road. Michael and Ronnie carried on the ministry as “The Booth Brothers.” Paul Lancaster joined the group in 2014, when Jim Brady left the group to form the Jim Brady Trio and then Jim and Melissa Brady. Industry veteran Buddy Mullins joined The Booth Brothers in 2021, when Ronnie left the group to spend time with his family. The harmonies which have been a trademark of the Booth Brothers will certainly continue with the outstanding vocal abilities of Michael Booth, Jim Brady, and Buddy Mullins.</span></p>

If you are <strong>The Collingsworth Family</strong>, you start that celebration early and capture performances for fans and friends to share! For the 2021 Christmas season, they have released two projects with <strong>StowTown Records</strong>: <em><strong>A True Family Christmas</strong></em>, a DVD production of their highly acclaimed Christmas album, and <strong>Kim Collingsworth</strong>’s piano album <em><strong>Simply Christmas</strong></em>, which is available for the first time on digital platforms. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While these are early Christmas gifts for us, The Collingsworth Family received a gift of their own last week when they reached a monumental milestone: <strong>100,000 subscribers</strong> on their <strong>YouTube channel</strong>! This is truly a testament to the endless effort they have put into creating and uploading video content for several years. Because a lot of the videos are live performance videos, one might assume that the concert experience at home is the driving factor of the channel growth. But comments in the videos show that the encouragement and blessings received from the songs themselves, as well as the passionate delivery from The Collingsworth Family, are what drive fans to their YouTube channel. Long-time producer and friend, <strong>Wayne Haun</strong>, shares, “When I first met The Collingsworth Family years ago, I knew they were something special. I knew they had a special talent and a special anointing placed upon them. Now I’m glad that thousands and thousands of others around the world are seeing it as well.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Phil </strong>and <strong>Kim Collingsworth</strong> recognize the specific work and planning that went into this achievement. “<strong>Will Blair</strong> and<strong> Emily Raynes</strong> have worked tirelessly over the past two years, building, building, and building our YouTube channel through very high quality content and promotion. This was a major milestone for us, in the growth pattern the Lord has allowed us to enjoy over the past two years.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One can hope that today’s release of <em>A True Family Christmas </em>DVD will eventually yield even more YouTube video content from The Collingsworth Family. During the summer of 2021, The Collingsworth Family created a Christmas wonderland before a capacity crowd at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. With cameras rolling, they masterfully presented the intricate arrangements of beloved Christmas carols and compelling jazz arrangements of new Christmas songs, all laced with the harmonies and blend for which The Collingsworth Family is known. Phil Collingsworth reflects, “This live concert setting of our Christmas Tour program embodies everything we put into the creation of <em>A True Family Christmas</em> album: a festive atmosphere, a full live orchestra and band, plus Christmas lights and trees – it’s just Christmas on steroids!” As always, the unapologetic message throughout was the true reason for the season: the birth of the Christ Child. Full orchestra and a live band complement the vocals and make this Christmas DVD one that families will pull out and include as part of their Christmas traditions year after year. You can purchase<em> A True Family Christmas</em> DVD, distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony Distribution</strong>, at retail music outlets worldwide. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2009, multi-award winning pianist Kim Collingsworth released the piano solo album <em>Simply Christmas</em>. Today, this fan-favorite seasonal project is available for the first time at all digital music outlets. “This unique, piano-only project was something I recorded to give folks gentle, simple Christmas melodies that could float throughout their homes during the season of celebration,” remarks Kim. “The arrangements were intentionally kept simple so that they could be used as background music for parties or just to set the mood for a beautiful Christmas candlelit dinner.” <em>Simply Christmas</em> is digitally distributed worldwide by Provident/Sony Distribution, and can be downloaded or streamed <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://str.lnk.to/wrdxyThZ" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In support of <em>A True Family Christmas</em>, The Collingsworth Family will be making tour stops throughout November & December in 20 different cities. Visit their website for a complete list of tour dates. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABOUT THE COLLINGSWORTH FAMILY: </strong><br>Family group and acclaimed musicians, The Collingsworth Family, are one of Gospel Music’s most beloved artists.

<p style="text-align: justify;">At a time in our lives when nothing seems normal, new music from our favorite artists can uplift, inspire and encourage us. <strong>Legacy Five </strong>seeks to do just that with their brand new album, <em><strong>Something New</strong></em>. With their first offering on the <strong>StowTown</strong> label, the legendary quartet continues to reinvent their delivery of the timeless message of the Gospel. <em>Something New</em> is available today on all digital music platforms, as well as at <a contents="LegacyFive.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://legacyfive.com/" target="_blank">LegacyFive.com</a>, <a contents="Springside.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.springside.com/" target="_blank">Springside.com</a>, and <a contents="Amazon" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.amazon.com/" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Legacy Five continues their 21-year journey with fresh wind in their sails. The four vocalists have been together for a couple of years now and their sound and camaraderie is solid. <strong>Scott Fowler</strong>, <strong>Lee Black</strong>, <strong>Bryan Walker </strong>and <strong>Matt Fouch</strong> recently added <strong>Garrett Anderson</strong> on keys. Yes, after so many years as a mainstay in Southern Gospel music, this is definitely <em>Something New</em>. Group owner and lead vocalist Scott Fowler acknowledges that this album is a significant part of Legacy Five’s story. “As Legacy Five approaches our 22nd year in gospel music, we find our professional journey embarking on <em>Something New</em>, not the least of which is partnering with StowTown Records. StowTown has become a symbol of excellence and integrity, and we are very honored they have invited us to be a small part of their amazing family of artists. This project is a fantastic way to start <em>Something New</em> as we partner in ministry with StowTown!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">StowTown Records President <strong>Landon Beene</strong> shares, “This project is appropriately titled <em>Something New</em>. Although Legacy Five has been at the top of their game for years, they have managed to reinvent themselves through this project with an incredible new sound of quartet harmony unlike anyone has heard before.” For this kind of achievement, an artist has to fully trust their producers. <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> and <strong>Gordon Mote</strong> create a dynamic production team, each bringing years of musical expertise to this project. Sonically, they’ve pushed Legacy Five to the next level, not settling for less than their best. After the success of their previous release, <em>Pure Love</em>, which garnered the GMA Dove Award for Southern Gospel Album of the Year, this project continues the forward momentum that success brought. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the first track, <strong>“Welcome To Your Life,”</strong> the listener is drawn in as if during the hero’s adventure sequence in a movie. A full orchestra and big harmonies make this song truly inviting and exciting. Staying true to their musical roots, there are a variety of traditional Southern Gospel and Country-flavored tunes which are sure to be fan favorites. But a stunningly simple, yet poignant moment on the album may be a surprise to some. <strong>“Jesus Wept”</strong> brings current events, historical events and personal moments all together under one umbrella: Jesus wept for all of us out of His deep love for us. It’s as if Scott Fowler is giving a sermon in one song. <strong>“Given, Buried, Risen,”</strong> the first radio single, was released on digital platforms last week and is quickly becoming another Legacy Five hit song. With twelve tracks on the album, Legacy Five fans will be thrilled with the variety of songs on <em>Something New</em>. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABOUT LEGACY FIVE: </strong><br>When the Legendary Cathedral Quartet retired in December of 1999, Scott Fowler and Roger Bennett decided to continue the rich musical tradition of Southern Gospel Quartet singing. Legacy Five was organized and had their official debut in January 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia. Since that day, they have made a major mark on the Southern Gospel Music world. Legacy Five has received over 90 Singing News fan awards nominations and multiple GMA Dove Award nominations. Their project, <em>Pure Love</em>, was the winner of the 2020 Dove Award for Southern Gospel Album of the Year. Viewers across America have seen Legacy Five on TNN, TBN, Sky Angel, INSP, GMT, The Odyssey Network and a host of local channels on programs such as <em>Gaither and Friends Homecoming</em>,<em> In Touch</em> with Dr. Charles Stanley and on Dr. David Jeremiah’s Turning Point in El Cajon, CA. The rich four and five part harmony for which Legacy Five has become known is the result of a masterful weaving together of five unique and versatile talents. Legacy Five consists of Scott Fowler (lead), Lee Black (tenor), Bryan Walker (baritone), Matt Fouch (bass) and Garrett Anderson (keys). </p>

<p><span class="font_small">ABOUT THE ERWINS <br>Keith, Kody, Kris and Katie Erwin have been singing together their entire lives. They grew up performing in countless churches and at events around the country with their parents, who have served as full-time evangelists for more than 40 years. The group’s 2011 debut, <em>What Really Matters</em>, featured the Erwin brothers, with Katie officially joining the lineup later that year on the follow-up project, <em>Jesus In A Song</em>. In the decade since, The Erwins have released seven subsequent recordings, as well as the 2021 GRAMMY®-nominated project,<em> What Christmas Really Means</em>. They are 2020 Dove Award winners in the Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year category for “The Power Of An Empty Tomb.” The group's latest single, "The God I Know," from their bestselling April release <em>This Is Love</em>, is currently a Top 5 hit on Singing News' Power 50 Weekly Airplay Chart.</span></p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/67182922021-08-16T10:44:39-04:002021-08-16T10:44:39-04:00(August 16, 2021) - David Phelps Delivers Unparalleled Artistry And Deep Vulnerability With Genre-Spanning "GameChanger"<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/e76f8441b12631568da12f03fad40afb3149f653/original/david-phelps-2021-gamechanger.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_none" alt="" />Known for his show-stopping, electrifying vocals—both as an award-winning solo artist and a former member of the world-renowned Gaither Vocal Band—singer/songwriter<strong> David Phelps</strong> returns <strong>September 10</strong> with <strong><em>GameChanger</em></strong>. A sonic kaleidoscope of 15 pop, jazz, Inspirational, R&B and even Broadway-inspired selections, Phelps’ <strong>StowTown Records</strong> debut carries deeply personal and profoundly resonant messages of redemption and unity.<br><br>“While some might think <em>GameChanger</em> is a departure for me, it’s really just the next step in my development as an artist; this is who I am,” Phelps shares of the album, which he co-produced with his nephew, <strong>Grayson Proctor</strong>. “I started out in contemporary music before I joined the Gaither Vocal Band. I was blessed to be part of that amazing, iconic group and I loved those years very much, but I am and always have been a stylist, and that makes my music and career very eclectic.”<br><br>The album’s debut single, “Hello Beautiful,” is set for an exclusive Apple Music release August 20, along with the official music video. A bittersweet tribute to lifelong commitment backed by a syncopated, horn-studded rhythm section, “Hello Beautiful” encapsulates one of the album’s central themes. “I’ve always loved telling a redemptive human story,” Phelps says. “Nothing magnifies the splendor of humanity more than loving someone through all of life’s ups and downs. I can’t imagine many things more tragic than watching a loved one lose their memories of things once held dear—events, places, friends, children...even you. Heroes sometimes sit patiently, enduring thankless days caring for someone they love and to whom they have committed themselves.”<br><br>Additional highlights of <em>GameChanger</em> include the synth-pop album opener “I’m Gonna Love”; “Song For Sinners,” with a mellow jazz groove gently beckoning wayward hearts; “I Remember What We Thought Love Was,” a poignant piano ballad dedicated to Phelps’ wife; and “Eye To Eye,” a soulful duet with his son, Grant, exploring the complexities of their relationship.<br><br>“My son and I love each other dearly and our bond goes beyond words,” Phelps shares of the inspiration for “Eye To Eye.” “However, we haven’t always seen things the same way. I have been forced to concede that his choices are his—and they aren’t necessarily bad. Regardless, we have each other’s back. I would fight for him and he for me. We can agree to disagree and still love each other deeply. It’s been a lesson I’ve had to learn as an adult, but it’s vital. It’s ok if we don’t see everything eye to eye.”<br><br>“If I can positively influence or inspire someone to look at a relationship in their own life and hang on to it, view it differently, or nurse it better, then I’m going to take the chance to do that,” he adds of <em>GameChanger</em>’s thematic intent. “These songs are about the human experience, and I hope people can relate to that and be moved by them.” <br> <br><strong>About David Phelps </strong><br>A childhood musical prodigy from Tomball, Texas, David Phelps is now a Platinum-selling vocalist with three #1 releases on Billboard’s Music Video chart, 14 solo albums and a PBS television special to his credit.

<p>Like most recording artists, Paid In Full has experienced their share of changes and even a recording hiatus through the years. With this new digital release, all three members are thrilled to have the opportunity to present new music, as well as reintroduce audiences to songs that continue to offer an eternal message. “It’s so good to be back together singing and having so much fun,” states Jeff Crews. “We have no blood relation, but we are brothers who learned to sing harmony together.” </p>
<p>“Singing with Paid In Full has been a great joy in my life,” group member Bradley Littlejohn relates. “This chapter in our story is one I look forward to sharing as well.” Group member Lance Moore adds, “We are so excited to see what God has in store with this StowTown collaboration.” </p>

<p>The inspiration for "Keep On Keeping On" came to Haase, who wrote the song with <strong>Lee Black</strong> and <strong>Sue C. Smith</strong> over Zoom, during a dark, cold day in January. <a contents="American Songwriter" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://americansongwriter.com/ernie-haase-signature-sound-keep-on-keeping-on-song-premiere/" target="_blank">American Songwriter</a> exclusively premiered the first listen to the encouraging track, which packs a "punch with glistening production and pounding percussion (Jason Scott)." </p>
<p>After nearly a year without new music or tour dates, the title led Ernie Haase & Signature Sound to return to the studio to record the full-length album. <em>Keeping On</em> is an offering of mostly original songs that were born in those days of testing and trusting. The 14-song album was recorded in Nashville, executive produced by Haase, and produced by <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> and <strong>Kris Crunk</strong>. </p>
<p>In support of <em>Keeping On</em>, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound are also spreading the album's message of hope across the country on the <em>Keeping On Tour</em>.

<p>In honor of their 30th anniversary, the vocal group <strong>Paid In Full</strong> has joined forces with <strong>StowTown Records</strong> to release a brand new digital recording. <em><strong>30th Anniversary</strong></em> marks the group’s debut digital recording under the StowTown label. This commemorative collection will feature 26 favorites released for the first time digitally, as well as four brand new songs arranged by multi-award winning producer, <strong>Wayne Haun</strong>. Today, their first radio single, <strong>“Too Much”</strong> is available at all digital music outlets. </p>
<p>Longtime friends<strong> Lance Moore, Bradley Littlejohn</strong> and <strong>Jeff Crews</strong>, collectively known as Paid In Full, originally organized in 1991. Just a few short years after beginning, their second record captured the ear of the late gospel music legend, <strong>Jake Hess</strong>, who began mentoring the trio. The multi-Grammy winner and Gospel Music Hall of Fame member even made a guest appearance on the trio’s 1998 recording,<em><strong> In All I Do</strong></em>. Over the years, Paid In Full has enjoyed hit radio releases and appearances on large and small stages nationwide. </p>
<p>Among the collection of songs included on <em>30th Anniversary</em>, listeners will find popular radio hits like “What The Storm Did Not Know,” “Sailing Toward Home” and “I Could Sing About Heaven.” Three previously released songs featuring guest artists are included as well: “When My Master Walks With Me” features Jake Hess; “My Soul Is Firmly Anchored” features <strong>Gene McDonald</strong>; and “It Won’t Be Long” features <strong>Duane Allen</strong> of the <strong>Oak Ridge Boys</strong>. </p>
<p>Like most recording artists, Paid In Full has experienced their share of changes and even a recording hiatus through the years. With this new digital release, all three members are thrilled to have the opportunity to present new music, as well as reintroduce audiences to songs that continue to offer an eternal message. “It’s so good to be back together singing and having so much fun,” states Jeff Crews. “We have no blood relation, but we are brothers who learned to sing harmony together.” </p>
<p>“Singing with Paid In Full has been a great joy in my life,” group member Bradley Littlejohn relates. “This chapter in our story is one I look forward to sharing as well.” Group member Lance Moore adds, “We are so excited to see what God has in store with this StowTown collaboration.” </p>
<p>“I’ve known Bradley, Lance and Jeff for quite some time. They are great guys who have a tremendous work ethic and a true desire to present quality music that touches the hearts of listeners. Their smooth harmonies are incredible, and it is a privilege for our company to have the opportunity to offer their music to new audiences worldwide,” states StowTown President<strong> Landon Beene</strong>. </p>
<p>With <em>30th Anniversary</em>, Paid In Full celebrates three decades of delivering listeners rich harmonies that will continue to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages from all walks of life. </p>

As an artist who is celebrated for her powerhouse vocals that soar high above the music and linger after the cutoff, it would be easy for Tiffany to record big numbers that merely serve to showcase her vocal prowess. Instead, she chose songs based on their timely message of unwavering hope; songs to which she can personally relate. With all-new songs written by some of gospel music’s top songwriters, <em>You Are More</em> is a poignant, relevant example of what it means to persevere. </p>
<p>Widely known as a member of the acclaimed acapella group, <strong>Voctav</strong>e, and longtime performer with <strong>Disney’s Voices of Liberty</strong>, Tiffany is beyond excited to share her latest solo endeavor with the world. She explains, “I am so happy to be releasing these songs during spring. We’ve all walked through a global pandemic and for those of us who are here – it is for a purpose. We are awakening, stepping out into His grace, laughing, working, living, and connecting with others once again.” Themes of grace weave an exquisite tapestry throughout each song on the project, highlighting that we are all made in the likeness of God and are able to receive love and forgiveness no matter who we are, where we are, or what we have done. </p>
<p>The title track, written by <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> and <strong>Joel Lindsey</strong>, is a beautiful reminder to everyone that they matter. The lyrics relay the message that people of “every shape” and “every shade” are “wonderfully made.” “You Are More” could not have come at better time. This song is a heartfelt, soul-stirring anthem of encouragement. </p>
<p><strong>“Roll Back River,”</strong> the first radio single from the project, has hit the airwaves on major radio stations across the country. <strong>"When I Let It Go,"</strong> written by Haun, Lindsey, <strong>Carolyn Cross</strong> and <strong>Val Dacus</strong>, is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that speaks of grace coming through total surrender. To close out this album of incredible new songs, Coburn sings a lovely rendition of the classic, <strong>“Seasons of the Soul.”</strong> It perfectly sums up the state of hopefulness and spring that Tiffany wishes to convey. </p>
<p>Tiffany’s breathtaking vocals blend beautifully with the featured guests on the project. <strong>Grammy® Award</strong>-nominated and <strong>GMA Dove Award</strong>-winning artists <strong>Point of Grace, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Joseph Habedank,</strong> and <strong>The Isaacs </strong>all make appearances on the album. “I am honored that they have all poured their unbelievable talents into this project. It is truly a blessing,” Tiffany says. </p>
<p>Embracing Tiffany’s vision for this album was easy for multi-award winning producer and arranger Wayne Haun. Wayne shares, “Tiffany is an artist’s artist. She is a teacher, a communicator and a performer. That is evident on this project due to the amount of major talent that wanted to collaborate with her.” In addition to extending the invitation to these guest vocalists, Haun invited <em>Les Misérables</em> Musical Director <strong>Brian Eads</strong> to orchestrate one of the tracks, <strong>“Then There’s Grace.” </strong>Haun continues, “She is one of the most seasoned singers I know. Time and again I’ve seen lines of young musicians just trying to get two minutes’ worth of her masterful advice. Her talent is seriously off the charts, and yet her humility is genuine. I think this album really reveals her heart, set to music.” </p>
<p>With versatile musical stylings, <em>You Are More</em> is both fresh and nostalgic and is sure to have broad appeal with multi-generational audiences. Distributed exclusively by <strong>Provident/Sony</strong>, <em>You Are More</em> is available at digital and retail outlets worldwide.</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/65996492021-04-09T17:15:47-04:002021-04-30T07:51:27-04:00(April 9, 2021) - The Erwins' Highly Anticiptaed THIS IS LOVE Bows Today As Debut Single Impacts Radio<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/f2e0eeba2ebd0d6f5bc5db770eca6abb9f779e74/original/erwins-2021-this-is-love.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" />With their highly anticipated eighth career recording, <strong><em>This Is Love</em></strong>, now available, GRAMMY®-nominated, Dove Award-winning <strong>StowTown Records</strong> recording artist <strong>The Erwins</strong> are also celebrating the launch of the album’s debut single,<strong> “The God I Know.” </strong>Impacting radio today, the inspirational ballad heralds the One who still moves mountains and calms the raging sea, carrying the project’s central message of Christ’s unwavering sustainment. <br> <br>Infusing The Erwins’ signature family harmonies and modern musical influences across all eight selections, <em>This Is Love</em> also features such standout tracks as lead digital single “All Of My Help”; the bluesy, brass-studded “Already On His Way God”; and the pop/country ballad “The Blood of Jesus.” Produced and arranged by <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> (<strong>Jason Crabb</strong>, <strong>Ernie Haase & Signature Sound</strong>), the album showcases tracks penned by such top songwriters as <strong>Kenna Turner West</strong>, <strong>Sue Smith </strong>and <strong>Tony Wood</strong>, among others. <br> <br>In support of <em>This Is Love</em>, The Erwins appeared on <strong>CBN News</strong>’ March 31 broadcast of “Studio 5,” chatting with host <strong>Efrem Graham</strong> about the album as well as their GRAMMY® Award nomination.

Producers <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> and <strong>Scotty Inman</strong> (in his debut as producer) chose to feature several co-producers on this album, and the end result is a cornucopia of fresh sounds. Having worked with many different artists on previous projects, these four co-producers each brought their individual strengths and talents to several different songs on the project. <strong>Jason Webb</strong> (Amy Grant, TaRanda Greene, Danny Gokey), <strong>Joshua Frerichs</strong> (TaRanda Greene, Charles Billingsley), <strong>Kris Crunk </strong>(Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Joseph Habedank) and <strong>Chipper Hammon</strong>d (Bethel), working closely with Haun and Inman, made this an unparalleled recording experience for Triumphant Quartet.</p>

Jesus Christ is Triumphant Quartet’s focus, and it is their hope that many will receive Christ as their Lord and Savior, because He is the reason they sing. </p>

The latest installment of the series, <em><strong>Smooth As Silk</strong></em>, comes from the legendary <strong>Cathedral Quartet</strong>. The Vault Series features first-time digital releases of previously recorded projects. </p>
<p>Originally released in vinyl format back in 1979, <em>Smooth As Silk </em>was the first recording to feature the combination of tenor <strong>Kirk Talley</strong>, baritone<strong> Steve Lee</strong>, pianist <strong>Roger Bennett </strong>and the legendary twosome, <strong>Glen Payne</strong> and <strong>George Younce</strong>, and was the first album ever for both Talley and Bennett. The recording features the prominent quartet performing classics such as “I’m Winging My Way Back Home,” “I Know A Man Who Can” (which became a #1 song and Kirk Talley’s signature song), “Then I Met The Master” and “It Is Well With My Soul.” Despite this success, the album was never released through a national distributor until now. </p>
<p>The Cathedral Quartet performed together from 1963 until their retirement in 1999. While the group transitioned through several members throughout their 36-year ministry, fans and industry peers alike honored them for their consistent talent and their collective heart. The Cathedrals earned numerous <strong>Gospel Music Association Dove Awards</strong>, were nominated for three<strong> Grammy® </strong>Awards, had scores of chart-topping hits, received twenty <strong>Singing News Fan Awards</strong>, and were inducted into both the <strong>Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame </strong>and the <strong>Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame</strong>. When the group retired, they held the #1 spot on the national charts for their song “He Made A Change,” which also earned them the GMA Dove Award for Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year. </p>
<p>“It is truly a thrill to be able to present this incredible recording in digital format to fans worldwide,” StowTown Records President <strong>Landon Beene</strong> states. “I grew up listening to the musical magic of The Cathedrals, as I know many people did, and I am delighted that even more listeners will have the opportunity to hear this legendary group.” </p>
<p>George Younce’s son-in-law, StowTown co-owner and former Cathedral Quartet member <strong>Ernie Haase</strong> shares, “It was an honor to sing with George and Glen and the Cathedral Quartet, and it’s humbling to be able to re-release this music. It was a privilege to brainstorm with StowTown Records and the estate of Payne and Younce about the digital release of this project. <em>Smooth as Silk</em> was one of the first records I purchased after discovering The Cathedrals in 1982. When people hear it, they will understand why this record is timeless and needed to be released in digital format, and I hope they love it!” </p>
<p><em>Smooth As Silk</em> is distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony</strong> and is available on all digital platforms worldwide. </p>

This recording is filled with both songs we grew up listening to and songs that are current today. We pray that this project will allow the audience to hear a familiar lyric that may bring sweet memories to them, but also hear a song of our generation that they can sing along to and worship with us.” </p>
<p>Included on this project are songs made popular by artists such as<strong> Sandi Patty</strong>, <strong>Phillips, Craig and Dean</strong>, <strong>Steven Curtis Chapman</strong>, <strong>The Hinsons</strong> and <strong>The Hemphills</strong>. The debut single, shipped to Southern Gospel radio this fall, is the 2020 GMA Dove Award nominated Song of the Year, recorded by <strong>Casting Crowns</strong> with <strong>Matthew West</strong>, entitled<strong> “Nobody.”</strong> “This is just a great song, and while a lot of CCM fans are familiar with it, there is a good possibility that many Southern Gospel Music lovers may have never heard it,” Wayne Haun explains. “We just felt that the song was simply too good to not be recorded and sent to Southern Gospel radio.” </p>
<p>The Erwins also recorded a music video for “Nobody” and that can be seen wherever you stream music videos including <a contents="YouTube" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/tr3v5c/54960p/p89cfj" target="_blank">YouTube</a> and <a contents="Apple Music" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/tr3v5c/54960p/50adfj" target="_blank">Apple Music</a>. “As soon as we decided to cover this song, we knew we didn’t want to just lay it on an album, but we wanted it to be much bigger,” shares Katie Erwin. “Our first idea was to send it to radio, and then we knew the next step would be to make a music video. Filming this video with our new friend Robby Stevens at Midtown Motion was such a blast and an unforgettable experience. Robby has such an incredible eye and mind for music videos and we are so grateful for all of his hard work.” Katie continues, “This song is our ministries anthem and the message screams what we’re all about…telling everybody about JESUS! We hope you all enjoy this song & music video.” </p>
<p>From the fully orchestrated “There Is A Savior,” written in 1986 by Sandi Patty, Greg Nelson and Bob Farrell, to the driving Steven Curtis Chapman hit, “The Great Adventure,” to the Joel Hemphill classic, “I’m In This Church,” listening to Favorites: On Repeat is much like taking a walk down memory lane for any Christian music fan. </p>
<p>Favorites: On Repeat is distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony</strong> and is available today on all digital music platforms. </p>

<p>Just in time for the holiday season, <strong>StowTown Records</strong> announces that <em><strong>Spirit of Christmas Deluxe Version</strong></em>, from one of Christian music’s most iconic voices, <strong>TaRanda Greene</strong>, is now available in stores and at online retail outlets worldwide. This project from the <strong>GMA Dove Award</strong> winner was released to digital outlets in 2019. </p>
<p>“Christmas is such a special time of year, and I am excited that this Christmas recording is now available in stores,” TaRanda says with a big smile. </p>
<p><em>Spirit of Christmas Deluxe Version</em> features several Christmas classics, including “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “Jingle Bells,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and “Silver Bells,” just to name a few. Also included are show stoppers such as, “O Holy Night,” “I Wonder As I Wander” and sure-to-become-classics, “Give Love On Christmas Day” and the title cut “Spirit of Christmas.” The remake of the Whitney Houston classic “Who Would Imagine A King?” is another welcome addition to this stellar recording. </p>
<p>“This recording is very special to me,” TaRanda explains. “People always ask for classic Christmas songs, so that is what we wanted to do. With five of the songs having a three-piece band, we wanted to take the listener back to a time when life was much more simple; when kids popped popcorn, strung it around the Christmas tree, and the family snuggled around the fireplace and reflected on the true reason for the season, the birth of the Christ child. This project was so much fun to record, and I hope the listener enjoys the finished product as much as I enjoyed recording it.” </p>
<p>For years, TaRanda has been inspiring listeners worldwide with her authenticity, energy and unmatched vocal ability. This latest recording effort will no doubt offer listeners even more inspiration. <em>Spirit of Christmas Deluxe Version</em> promises to offer much listening enjoyment throughout the 2020 holiday season and quite possibly for many years to come. </p>

<p>Heard initially as the theme song for<strong> Ernie Haase and Signature Sound</strong>’s<strong> “Friday Night Sing” </strong>series, the song <strong>“Wake Up” </strong>is available today as a digital single. “Wake Up” can now be downloaded or streamed on all digital music platforms. </p>
<p>Penned by <strong>Ernie Haase</strong>, <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> and <strong>Joel Lindsey</strong>, “Wake Up” premiered on the debut episode of the “Friday Night Sing” series, and fans immediately asked when this song would be available. Ernie Haase is thankful to be able to bless fans with this song today. “As a touring artist faced with difficult restrictions that prevent us from sharing our music with live audiences, I had to determine how we could stay connected while off the road. In place of touring, we created the ‘Friday Night Sing’. And instead of recording a whole album of music, we decided to record single songs that we could premiere on our online program and release to our fans digitally. ‘Wake Up’ is the first of five new songs that we have created in the midst of these crazy times. Our art reflects our heart, and it is our hope that these songs will accomplish what we have always been about: giving hope through songs and shared community, whether that is in-person or online.” </p>
<p>Ernie Haase & Signature Sound is nominated for a <strong>Gospel Music Association</strong> Dove Award for Southern Gospel Artist of the Year this year. Taking risks musically is what keeps them fresh and relevant. “Ernie has always been unafraid to do things differently from what some consider typical,” shares producer and co-writer Wayne Haun. “The style and instrumentation of this song is just another example of his willingness to try new things. This song is fun and the sound is fresh. But the message is consistent with what EHSS has been singing for almost two decades – and that will never change. I know that people are going to love adding this to their library.” </p>
<p>“Wake Up” is released by <strong>StowTown Records</strong> and distributed worldwide by <strong>Provident/Sony Distribution.</strong></p>

<p><strong>StowTown Records</strong> has announced the release of a brand new recording from popular quartet, <strong>The Guardians</strong>. <em><strong>It’s Still Good News </strong></em>marks the group’s third recording under the StowTown label.

The musical brilliance of each individual obviously comes to mind, but honestly, I just love hanging out with these guys. It feels like a band of brothers coming together. It’s always a holiday of sorts. We talk about everything from music of the 1940s to complicated Bible trivia to who makes the best biscuits in the South. Working alongside John Darin Rowsey from start to finish is always a highlight of my year.” </p>

<p>GRAMMY®-nominated, Dove Award-winning StowTown Records flagship artist Ernie Haase & Signature Sound (EHSS) is set to premiere a new streaming series, “Friday Night Sing,” beginning September 11 at 7:00 pm ET. A unique mix of music, memories and special guests, the weekly half-hour show will be free to view on the <a contents="group’s website" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.erniehaase.com/" target="_blank">group’s website</a>, as well as via <a contents="YouTube" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY75i5an53cRrjkNEq520wA" target="_blank">YouTube</a> and <a contents="Facebook" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/ErnieHaaseandSignatureSound/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>. </p>
<p> <br>“Like everyone else, when much of the U.S. shut down at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, I would wake up each morning with uncertainty and a certain amount of fear,” Haase recalls. “After a few weeks of that I said, ‘Enough! What can I do to help?’ EHSS soon began singing together online, each of us performing from our individual living rooms. That weekly effort caught on so well and the idea for ‘Friday Night Sing’ was born. Now, this series is our gift to the body of Christ in these uncertain times.” </p>
<p> <br>With a new episode debuting each Friday for 16 weeks, the show will be anchored by socially-distanced performances of familiar favorites from Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. In addition, a special guest will be featured on every show, with upcoming appearances slated to include Christian music patriarch Bill Gaither; Dr. Dave Zanotti, president and CEO of the American Policy Roundtable and co-host of the popular radio broadcast “The Public Square”; GRAMMY®-winning cellist Sara Sant’Ambrogio; GRAMMY®-nominated trio the Booth Brothers; and Broadway actor and singer J. Mark McVey, among many others. </p>
<p> <br>“Friday Night Sing” episodes will also be highlighted by never-before-seen footage of Haase’s beloved father-in-law, the late George Younce, along with archived performances from the Cathedral Quartet during Haase’s tenure with the iconic group. </p>
<p> <br>“We know Christ is the center of all things and on the ‘Friday Night Sing’ we are going to show the world what that looks like,” Haase adds of the show’s purpose. “Grace, hope, love, liberty, friendship and all good things have a face, and it is the eternal Christ Jesus our Lord. THAT’S WHY WE SING!” </p>
<p> <br>Since its formation in 2003, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound has become one of the most celebrated quartets in Southern Gospel history. The GRAMMY®-nominated, multi Dove Award-winning group is comprised of Ernie Haase (tenor), Devin McGlamery (lead), Dustin Doyle (baritone) and Paul Harkey (bass). A hitmaker at Southern Gospel radio, EHSS has also earned multiple Gold and Platinum DVD certifications and was recently nominated for a 2020 Dove Award for Southern Gospel Artist of the Year. </p>

<p>When <strong>The Collingsworth Family </strong>gathered in their living room for a Facebook Live concert event, nobody knew just how special that time would be. What started from a heart to raise money for a worthy organization exceeded expectations and culminated in a powerful worship service. Today, they get to share that worship experience with you again. <em><strong>Worship from Home</strong></em> is an intimate, around-the-piano experience with one of America’s favorite vocal groups. </p>
<p>On March 29, 2020, The Collingsworth Family decided to livestream a concert from their home to benefit <strong>Samaritan’s Purse</strong>. Just a few days prior, they felt the Lord compelling them to do an online fundraiser and had no idea how far reaching their efforts would be. The day of the event, they made a last-minute decision to record it for archival purposes. The songs they shared were encouraging and calming, something fans so desperately needed, as many states were going into government-imposed lockdowns that very week. Over 600,000 people viewed the online event, and more than $230,000.00 was raised for Samaritan’s Purse, which had just sent a relief team into New York City, the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic at that time. </p>
<p>The Collingsworth Family was thrilled to see what God had done with their act of obedience. <strong>Phil Collingsworth, Sr.</strong> shares, “When the cameras began to roll and we watched as our crew started the countdown clock to the moment we went live, we had no way of knowing what God had in store for us that evening. We watched as the number of views topped 200,000 and God's people so generously gave to Samaritan's Purse, but we didn't have a clue what that would set in motion!” </p>
<p>Fans flooded their office with requests for CDs and DVDs of the event. Phil continues, “God knew the event would turn into a recording and now be released nationally. That is the God we serve; One who sees beyond what we can see.” </p>

<p><strong>Libbi Perry Stuffle</strong> of <strong>The Perrys</strong> has announced changes for their group. As we all know, we are living through unprecedented times as Covid-19 has altered the landscape of what we all knew to be normal. The music industry, and specifically Southern Gospel musicians and ministries, have worked to continue throughout these last few months. The Perrys are no exception. </p>
<p>“I have done everything that I can do to sustain the families of The Perrys,” reveals Stuffle. “With the current climate and not being able to work many dates, we recently had a group meeting on the bus where I shared this with the guys and encouraged them to do what they have to do to continue to support their families. As a result, both <strong>Troy Peach</strong> and <strong>Andrew Goldman</strong> have decided to pursue other opportunities. I want to thank them both for their service, their time and their love. They helped me when I needed it the most: through the health crisis with Tracy, through my surgery and recovery last fall and most recently, through the Covid-related changes. They have remained faithful and I appreciate them for that.” </p>
<p>“Moving forward,” continues Libbi, “I intend to fulfill our obligations for all dates that are still on our schedule. I have a lot of great friends in this industry, a lot of great singers, and they have offered to help me meet these obligations so that the quality of the ministry and music of The Perrys continues as expected. In time, when things open up, I hope to find permanent replacements for these two positions. But until then, I’m grateful for these friends who have come alongside me to walk with me through this time. I love this music; I don’t want it to go away and I don’t want The Perrys to go away. I am moving forward with great hope and anticipation. You will hear more from Troy and Andrew in the days ahead as they transition to new places in their ministries. But I wanted you to hear from me to know how much I love and appreciate my guys.” </p>

The family owns and operates Browns Century Theater in downtown Le Mars, where they perform regularly throughout the year when not touring the U.S. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first single and title cut from this newest recording has already seen tremendous success at Southern Gospel radio, and the follow-up single, “<strong>Better Off There,</strong>” penned by <strong>Sonya Isaacs Yeary, Jimmy Yeary </strong>and <strong>Wayne Haun,</strong> is ministering to the hearts of listeners across the country. With themes of hope, eternity, and assurance, the strength of the songs they chose and co-wrote is remarkable. Other songs chosen for this recording include the gospel song “Take Me Back” by legendary artist <strong>Andraé Crouch,</strong> the soul-stirring “Not Even For A Moment” (<strong>Jeff Bumgardner, Joel Lindsey, Wayne Haun)</strong> and country hit “Brave” (<strong>Scotty Inman, Lee Black</strong>). </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">StowTown label co-founder, <strong>Ernie Haase,</strong> shares, “The Browns have been a mainstay with StowTown Records. We believe in them and all that they do. It’s not just about recording music, it’s about what they have done with the music; opening a theater, writing and presenting musicals, and their BRAVE approach to sharing Jesus in the digital age keeps them fresh and relevant. I admire them greatly!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Their family blend is unbeatable, their energy is undeniable and their musicianship is unmatched. When combined with the production and arrangements of award-winning producer Wayne Haun, the result is a pinnacle project from a passionate group ready to take the world by storm with their message. “Our family is always excited to share new music,” states Michaela, “but we believe that this album, at this time, is going to be such an encouragement to all who hear it. We are praying it will bless many.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Brave is distributed exclusively by <strong>Provident/Sony</strong> and is available at retail and digital outlets worldwide. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABOUT THE BROWNS: </strong><br>It’s truly a family affair when The Browns hit the stage with their unmistakable style of gospel music. Shelly, Michaela, Adam and Andrew exude excitement on the stage and offer a life-changing experience to all who hear them. The Browns deliver the powerful message of the gospel through word and song and captivate audiences of all ages. Known for their fiddle playing antics and vocals, The Browns have wowed audiences around the world. The call to perform has not pushed this Iowa family to move to a big city. In fact, when not performing, they stay busy on their family farm or at their own Browns Century Theater, where they host various artists and shows year-round. </p>

The release, <strong><em>Mercy & Love: Live at Inspiration Encounter</em></strong>, is available from <strong>StowTown Records</strong> and was recorded during the sold-out three-day/five-concert Inspiration Encounter musical extravaganza. </p>
<p>The recording features songs from the family’s <em><strong>Mercy & Love</strong></em> project, released in September of 2018. Additionally, the video includes six songs never before released by the talented family. Those standards include the patriotic “America, The Beautiful,” the Andraé Crouch-penned “My Tribute,” Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” Bill and Gloria Gaither’s classic, “Something Beautiful,” as well as the timeless hymn “My Savior’s Love.” A special highlight of the video occurs when three generations of The Collingsworth Family gather on stage and granddaughter Emma Blair sings “I’ll Make Him a Home in My Heart.” </p>
<p><em>Mercy & Love: Live at Inspiration Encounter </em>has been a labor of love and one that took many months to come to fruition; however, as <strong>Phil Collingsworth</strong> explains, the end result was well worth the work and wait. “After months and months of very hard, detailed work, it was exhilarating to see the finished product. Countless hours were invested in making this night happen by so many people who played major roles in the process. The atmosphere that evening was absolutely incredible. God’s blessings fell greatly, and we are so pleased the Spirit felt in that room was captured and is now available for those who were in attendance to re-experience. Also, for our many friends who were not able to be with us that night, we are delighted they now have the opportunity to encounter this for the first time.” </p>
<p>As world-renowned singer/songwriter/worship leader Darlene Zschech has stated, “True worship is not about the songs, the vocals, the band or the choir. All of those things contribute towards a great expression of worship but the essence of worship is when your heart and soul, the core of your being, connects with and adores the Spirit of God.” With <em>Mercy & Love: Live at Inspiration Encounter,</em> as with each time The Collingsworth Family steps onto any platform, the essence of worship is most evident. </p>
<p>Mercy & Love: Live at Inspiration Encounter is available at retail outlets worldwide and is distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony Distribution.</strong> </p>

Over the years, they have enjoyed 18 number one hits, including such popular releases as “On The Road To Emmaus,” “God Kept His Promise,” “I Must Tell Somebody” and “Oh What A Mighty God.” In 1995 and 1996, Jeff Steele was named <strong>BMI’s</strong> Southern Gospel Songwriter of the Year. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As excited as The Steeles are about the opportunity to work with Haun, the master producer is equally excited to be collaborating again with his longtime friends. “Working with The Steeles is like coming home for a family reunion or holiday. You pick up right where you left off,” Haun shares. “Brad is no longer a little boy. He has grown up to become a powerhouse performer and musical genius. I think The Steeles are in their finest moment. This record ministers in a very special and powerful way. Jeff and Brad are not afraid of honest questions and out-of-the-box musical ideas in their songwriting technique. It’s like listening to a wonderful musical Bible study.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>A Song To Remind You </em>features selections that were either written or co-written by Jeff Steele or his son, Brad. “Brad has grown into a phenomenal writer and singer, and we are thrilled to have him on our front line now,” Steele shares. “This is truly a God-thing, and we are so excited. We believe, both lyrically and from a production standpoint, this is the best recording The Steeles have ever been a part of.” </p>

The recording features live orchestrations and was produced by multi-award winning producer/arranger, <strong>Wayne Haun. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since 1995, <strong>Scott and Rachel Kramer </strong>have enjoyed a full-time ministry that has allowed them the opportunity to share the Gospel throughout North America and internationally. In 2014, they were joined by their daughter <strong>Maria</strong>. Three years later, son-in-law, <strong>Ben Wolfe,</strong> became a member of the musical family. Like the Kramers, Ben comes from a rich musical heritage as his father is Gerald Wolfe of Greater Vision. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>The Hope of All Tomorrows</em> offers listeners a rich variety and effectively exhibits the group’s ability to present a diverse range of musical stylings that are certain to be embraced by music lovers of all ages. The recording includes moving ballads, as well as upbeat melodies and powerful songs of worship, each complemented by creative and inspiring orchestrations masterfully created by talented producer Wayne Haun. “For many years now, we’ve admired the music production work of Wayne Haun,” states Scott Kramer, “and it’s been a tremendous blessing to have him produce our latest project. Wayne brings a wealth of creative talent to the table, including great musicianship, songwriting, orchestral arranging, vocal production and the incredible ability to write studio charts for many of the world’s greatest musicians. From the beginning, Wayne encouraged our family through every step of the production process. <em>The Hope of All Tomorrows </em>is by far our best family project to date, and it’s largely due to God working in a mighty way through our dear friend, Wayne Haun!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“When you are in the studio with great songs and talented singers, the creative juices easily flow,” Haun shares, “and it’s all evident from the downbeat of the first song to the final note. I love the musical versatility we created for this project. All four singers are unique musicians individually, but somehow the collaboration just clicks. I think that comes from the years of good training and honing their craft and God-given talent…family harmony in its best form.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>The Hope of All Tomorrows </em>features nine selections, including the debut single “Water Walker,” which is currently climbing up radio airplay charts nationwide. “From the moment we first heard the demo for the song, we knew we wanted to sing it,” Maria Kramer Wolfe shares. “It features an upbeat and catchy melody with a greatly encouraging message! We always look forward to sharing the song live, and we’re excited to say it’s our latest release to radio. Written by Wendy Ferguson and Rachel McCutcheon, ‘Water Walker’ reminds us God is always at work in our lives and, with every test we face, He is strengthening our faith.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, <strong>StowTown Records </strong>is releasing a compilation project featuring several of the theme park’s most noted Southern Gospel performers. <em><strong>Silver Dollar City’s Diamond Jubilee: A Collection of Southern Gospel Favorites </strong></em>is available today at retail outlets as well as for digital download. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While the theme park is currently closed to the public, Silver Dollar City’s President, <strong>Brad Thomas,</strong> and his team have been looking forward to this milestone year. “As we celebrate Silver Dollar City’s 60th birthday, we celebrate our past and our future. Our Southern Gospel roots run deep around here. For decades, ‘The City’ has been a venue for live southern gospel music. Southern Gospel fans from all over the USA, and especially from all over America’s heartland, travel to Branson to visit groups performing on our stages. In addition, every year and in every performance, we introduce some of our 2.2 million guests to groups they may have never seen or heard and, in some cases, to Southern Gospel music itself! EVERY DAY, and especially during this birthday/anniversary, we are thankful for God’s leadership, guidance and blessings over all these years.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Choosing songs and artists to feature for this project was no easy task as there is a deep well from which to draw. Thomas continues, “Silver Dollar City has featured countless Southern Gospel artists who have appeared within the regular daily operation, during music festivals, and during our fall and Christmas celebrations. For several years, Silver Dollar City was host to the <em><strong>Gary McSpadden Gospel Jubilee </strong></em>TV show which aired weekly across the nation. Then, in the days just prior to Labor Day 2006, Silver Dollar City kicked off the ‘Southern Gospel Picnic.’ Due to the crowd sizes and passion of the fans, these days have become known as ‘Southern Gospel’s 12 Biggest Days & Nights.’” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Brad enlisted the help of StowTown Records’ <strong>Wayne Haun </strong>for the final selection of performers which includes <strong>Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Gold City, The Nelons, Jeff & Sheri Easter, The Collingsworth Family </strong>and many more. “The fantastic staff at Silver Dollar City has always advocated the advancement of Southern Gospel music,” shares Haun. “There’s nothing better than walking through the park with some delicious comfort food in hand and hearing this music fill the air. We are humbled to be a part of this celebration.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Adds Thomas, “We had big plans to celebrate our 60th anniversary throughout the year, and certainly during this weekend. Though the pandemic delayed our plans, this we know: Our God IS bigger than this pandemic, we have brighter days ahead, and when this is over, we will celebrate! And through it all, we continue to give God the glory for who He is EVERY DAY.” </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/56a6ba725351fd9afa1a765c2d0b087c4d9027ea/original/charles-billingsley-i-was-made-for-this.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" style="margin-right: 15px;" />Acclaimed singer/songwriter and worship leader <strong>Charles Billingsley </strong>returns April 10 with <em><strong>I Was Made For This</strong></em>, his first studio project in two years. The highly anticipated StowTown Records (Provident/Sony) set was produced by <strong>Keith Everette Smith</strong>—a multi-GRAMMY® and Dove Award winner and member of TobyMac’s Diverse City Band—and showcases newly-penned originals alongside classic pop favorites. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Billingsley co-wrote half of the album’s 12 selections, and the project also features contributions from such award-winning writers as <strong>Paul Baloche, Krissy Nordhoff, Tony Wood and Michael Neale,</strong> among others. Highlighted by the new title-track, a vibrant worship anthem declaring the Savior’s glory, <em>I Was Made For This </em>also includes “Rise Up,” co-written by Billingsley and Baloche; the introspective “Sing For My Soul”; and “Spirit of God,” featuring singer/songwriter <strong>Tasha Layton.</strong> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, <em>I Was Made For This </em>showcases a new arrangement of Newsboys’ megahit anthem “We Believe,” as well as covers of two 1980s favorites: <strong>Mr. Mister’s </strong>“Kyrie” and the poignant “Fragile,” written and originally recorded by <strong>Sting</strong>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The album takes a personal turn with “Play The Man,” penned for Billingsley’s two sons. The ballad was inspired by a quote from <strong>Polycarp</strong>, a second century martyr burned at the stake for his role in spreading Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“In <strong>Mark Batterson’s </strong>book, <em>Play The Man: Becoming the Man God Created You to Be,</em> he shares that as Polycarp was being burned at the stake he heard a voice say, ‘Be strong Polycarp, play the man,’” explains Billingsley of the song’s genesis. “We don’t hear much about what it means to be a real man these days. We don’t see it modeled in movies or talked about in society, but men are called to be strong, gentle, firm, affectionate, generous—all the things God created us to be. Ultimately, I wrote this song for my boys, who are 18 and 19 years old. I wanted them to have it as a reminder from their dad of what it means to be a man and ‘play the man.’” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“The album as a whole is simply a reminder of why we’re on this earth—we were made to worship the Lord,” Billingsley adds. “All things were made by Him and for Him, and our purpose is to bring glory and honor to Him. Every song relates to that theme in one way or another. I intentionally wanted to take listeners on a journey addressing why we exist; the reality of sin; the reality of the Gospel; and finally, worship. The end of the album is a series of powerful moments of worship that celebrate the Hope we have in Him.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Launching his career nearly three decades ago as a lead vocalist for GRAMMY®-nominated genre giants <strong>NewSong</strong>, Charles Billingsley has since headlined more than 3,200 concerts, released 23 recordings as a solo artist and garnered seven #1 Inspirational radio hits. A sought-after worship leader and speaker, Billingsley currently serves as the teaching pastor and worship leader at <strong>Thomas Road Baptist Church </strong>in Lynchburg, Virginia, as well as an adjunct instructor at <strong>Liberty University.</strong> He is also the worship leader for such popular events as <strong>Women of Joy, Gridiron Men’s Conference </strong>and<strong> Celebrators Conference,</strong> among others. Billingsley’s critically acclaimed StowTown Records debut, <em>Right Here,</em> released in 2016. </p>

Orab, Ohio, home. More than 513,000 people have viewed the event to date, which The Collingsworth Family created to help Samaritan’s Purse raise funds for their work in the United States and around the world fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The livestream featured the award-winning family ensemble’s signature harmonies and included classic hymns and songs of faith; their timely new single, “Joy Has Not Been Cancelled,” penned by Kim and inspired by a recent devotional from <strong>Lysa TerKeurst;</strong> and a reading of Psalm 33. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Samaritan’s Purse is grateful for the support and generosity from The Collingsworth Family,” said <strong>Franklin Graham,</strong> president of Samaritan’s Purse. “As the world is facing this coronavirus pandemic, they are not only encouraging and blessing people with their music, but they are also using their talents to be a part of helping others. We are thankful for this tremendous gift, which is supporting our work in running Emergency Field Hospitals in New York City and Cremona, Italy, the two hardest hit areas.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Ever since we were invited to do Christmas concerts with Cliff Barrows in 2014, we have returned every year to perform at The Cove, a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association,” <strong>Phil Collingsworth </strong>said. “So we just knew that Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse was the right partner for this event. We are in such a crisis right now; when we were choosing the songs to share, Samaritan’s Purse had trucks on the way to New York City to set up field hospitals.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“When we first realized we were going to need to stop traveling and stay home because of the pandemic, we asked God what He would have for us to do,” added <strong>Kim Collingsworth.</strong> “We decided we wanted to do something to encourage our friends and listeners as we all struggle with challenges during this season. We also wanted to open our hands, and bless those who are on the front lines of this crisis. Sharing this evening with folks around the world was a reminder to us that God is doing some unexpected things in the midst of unimaginable hardship and uncertainty.” </p>

The Kramers have an extensive performance and recording history as an independent recording artist. Their upcoming project, <em><strong>The Hope of All Tomorrows,</strong></em> will release on the StowTown label on <strong>May 8, 2020 </strong>and will be distributed worldwide via <strong>Provident/Sony. </strong></p>
<p>The Kramers include <strong>Scott Kramer,</strong> his wife <strong>Rachel</strong>, their daughter <strong>Maria</strong> and her husband, <strong>Ben Wolfe.</strong> Scott shares, “Speaking on behalf of our entire family, I can honestly say we’re beyond excited and blessed to be working with the team at StowTown Records! We’ve known and admired all of the label’s artists for years, and we’ve been greatly impressed with StowTown’s ongoing commitment to excellence! Working with <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> on our latest project has taken everything to a new level, and we can’t wait to minister with these new songs! We’re so thankful The LORD has continued to open doors for our ministry, and we’re looking forward to all that’s ahead with the StowTown team!” </p>
<p>StowTown Records President <strong>Landon Beene </strong>had this to say about adding The Kramers to the StowTown roster, “We are pleased to be signing The Kramers to StowTown Records. The goal of StowTown Records has always been to provide a broad audience to our artists that would include many genres within Christian music. It is rare to come across an artist that is able to provide such a variety of styles within the same group, but The Kramers have perfected this within their family brand of music! They are widely talented and will complement our family of artists well.”</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63754412020-03-11T08:00:00-04:002020-07-03T21:42:50-04:00(March 11, 2020) - The Guardians Announce the Retirement of Founding Member Neil Uhrig<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/1a7a876c354a787c8e05c2f37c0e37a28c6ef802/original/guardians-official-1-960x.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_none" alt="" style="margin-left: 15px;" />As you may know, <strong>Neil Uhrig,</strong> one of the founding members and baritone for <strong>The Guardians Quartet,</strong> recently underwent aortic valve replacement and bypass surgery. He was subsequently forced to undergo a second surgery to repair one of the bypasses that was leaking, and further complicating his recovery was an untimely bout with fluid around his lung. We are pleased to report, however, that he is now well on the road to recovery. After spending the past few months evaluating his medical condition, Neil has made the difficult decision to step back from the rigorous schedule of touring with The Guardians. This has been one of the hardest decisions of Neil’s life, in that he loves his singing ministry, his travels with the other Guardians members, and meeting and fellowshipping with other southern gospel music fans across the country. He has, after all, been doing this for over 50 years. </p>
<p>Neil's decision to retire has been difficult not only for him, but for his Guardians Quartet family as well, as they will have to say good-bye to one of their beloved founding members. Neil has brought so much to The Guardians—his emcee style and humor, his character and unwavering love for God, and all the logistical work he did behind the scenes to ensure The Guardians' success. His presence will be sorely missed by his fellow members and many fans. </p>
<p><strong>Wayne Haun,</strong> co-founder of <strong>StowTown Records, </strong>has had the privilege of producing a couple of The Guardians’ recent projects. Wayne shares, “Neil is probably one of the smartest guys I know. He’s also one of the nicest guys I know. As an industry, we have no greater advocate than Neil Uhrig. He has always pushed the limelight off himself and into the paths of other singers, writers and musicians. While he greatly deserves some time to put his feet up and relax, I’m sure he’s dreaming up ways to help us grow. He’s that kind of guy.” </p>
<p>Neil will perform his last concert with The Guardians Quartet on Sunday, May 17, 2020, at 6:00 pm at the <strong>Capital City Church,</strong> 464 Rathmell Road, <strong>Columbus, OH.</strong> Please plan to attend for your last opportunity to hear Neil sing with his buddies. </p>
<p><strong>ABOUT THE GUARDIANS: </strong><br>The Guardians had claimed their stake in Southern Gospel Music as one of America’s favorite Southern Gospel trios.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Salvation’s Song </em>features selections from some of Christian music’s most gifted writers, including <strong>Joel Lindsey, Carolyn Cross, Marcia Henry, Joseph Habedank </strong>and<strong> Wayne Haun,</strong> the recording’s producer, just to name a few. In speaking about this recording, Haun reflects, “One of my highlights this year was walking down the halls of <strong>Capitol Studios </strong>in <strong>Hollywood, CA,</strong> hearing the music of these incredible new songs fill the air. So many American icons and musical heroes have recorded there, and the Taylors are a welcome addition to that list.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Each and every song on this project has such a real and personally significant meaning to each of us,” <strong>Jonathan Taylor </strong>shares. “We wanted to share the message that there’s nothing as important as having a relationship with Christ. This entire recording reveals the heart of God’s plan as He reaches out to all of us. Each song reminds the listener that God has a GOOD plan and our desire is that these songs will bring encouragement and peace to all who listen.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“One of our goals in creating music has always been to encourage the believer who may be hurting, discouraged or depressed,” <strong>Suzanne Taylor Hise </strong>explains. “We trust that this recording will allow each listener to experience the anointing of God and His love and encouragement.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For years, The Taylors have been sharing the message of the Gospel, encouraging the hurting and sharing the song of salvation worldwide. They continue that tradition with <em>Salvation’s Song.</em> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Salvation’s Song </em>is distributed by <strong>Provident/Sony </strong>and is available worldwide wherever fine Christian music is sold. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABOUT THE TAYLORS: </strong><br>Brothers Jonathan and Chris Taylor, along with their sister, Suzanne Taylor Hise, grew up in a small North Carolina country church where their father has served as pastor for over 32 years. With their mother’s guidance as their music director, it was around the church piano that The Taylors created and honed their beautiful family harmony. Initially a quartet (including sister Leslie), The Taylors spent several years touring nationally. Their sound and heart have recently propelled them to an international stage as their travels now include all of North America and Europe. The Taylors aim to keep God at the very center of their ministry and also at the center of their hearts. They consider themselves extremely blessed to be able to sing for the Lord. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The last recording, completed in 2010, featuring <strong>Tony</strong> and his wife, <strong>TaRanda</strong>, along with tenor <strong>Jeff Snyder,</strong> was produced by the late, great <strong>Lari Goss </strong>and will no doubt go down in history as a fan favorite. <em><strong>Hallelujah</strong></em> features The Greenes and Lari Goss at their best. From the upbeat “How Big” to the moving ballad “One Holy Lamb,” penned by multi-award winning songwriter Phil Cross, to the powerful “I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked,” <em>Hallelujah</em> leaves listeners longing for more of the unmistakable sounds that made The Greenes so loved. “I’ll never forget being in the studio that day,” TaRanda recalls. “We recorded ‘I Walked Today’ in just one take with Lari sitting at the piano and me at the microphone. It was such a special moment and God’s Spirit just filled the room. I will never forget it.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This year marks the 10th anniversary since the original release of the recording, and <strong>StowTown Records </strong>opted to release <em>Hallelujah</em> in digital format to commemorate this momentous occasion. “This is such a timeless recording,” states StowTown Records Records President <strong>Landon Beene.</strong> “It has never been released in digital format, and it is certainly worthy. We have wanted to release it in digital format for quite some time but felt it important to wait for the ten year anniversary. We believe it will reignite excitement for listeners who fell in love with the music of The Greenes years ago, and we also feel it will introduce many new listeners to a sound that is classic and should live on and on.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first single, “Heaven in the House,” released to radio last week. <em>Hallelujah</em> is being released under the <strong>StowTown Records Vault Series </strong>and is distributed by <strong>Sony/Provident </strong>and is available worldwide wherever fine Christian music is sold. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Hallelujah</em> Track List: </strong><br>Hallelujah <br>One Holy Lamb <br>How Big is God <br>Unseen Hand <br>Oh The Cross <br>Well of Grace <br>It Doesn’t Matter Who You Are <br>God Is In This Place <br>We Love You Lord <br>Heaven in the House <br>I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABOUT THE GREENES: </strong><br>The Greenes organized in 1979 when a the musical family of Everette Greene and his three kids, Tim, Kim and Tony, first began singing in area churches throughout their western North Carolina home of Boone. Over the years, the musical family enjoyed numerous honors and accolades, including appearances on the Gaither Homecoming Video Series, as well as the National Quartet Convention and the famed Brooklyn Tabernacle.</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63754612020-01-09T08:00:00-05:002020-07-03T22:07:08-04:00(January 9, 2020) - Medical and Touring Update Regarding The Guardians’ Neil Uhrig<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/1a7a876c354a787c8e05c2f37c0e37a28c6ef802/original/guardians-official-1-960x.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_none" alt="" style="margin-left: 15px;" />The Guardians </strong>have kicked off 2020 with several dates in the Southeast U.S., and concert attendees have noticed that baritone <strong>Neil Uhrig </strong>is missing. Neil underwent surgery on December 11 at which time he had a triple bypass and aortic valve replacement. His medical team quickly realized that something was wrong and discovered internal bleeding which resulted in his receiving 10 units of blood and another surgery to repair one of the grafts. What could have been devastating was redeemed, and Neil is on the road to a complete recovery. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From home, Neil shares, “Recovery is going slowly, but very well. I am able to do the walking and rehab as prescribed.” Later this month, he hopes to be released by the surgeon to begin cardiac rehab at his local hospital. Neil continues, “I have appreciated the outpouring of concern and prayers of God’s people from across the country. I’m still here because of prayer.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While Neil is recovering, <strong>Scott Mullins </strong>is filling in and traveling with <strong>Dean Hickman, John Darin Rowsey </strong>and<strong> Pat Barker.</strong> “The group is extremely grateful to Scott Mullins for filling in for Neil during his recovery,” explains Hickman. “While no one can fill Neil’s shoes, Scott is an extremely talented baritone and veteran of quartet singing. We miss you, Neil!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Guardians’ current <strong>StowTown Records </strong>project, <em><strong>Ready for Revival,</strong></em> has become a fan favorite and is available via <strong>Sony/Provident Distribution </strong>at all digital and retail outlets. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABOUT THE GUARDIANS: </strong><br>The Guardians had claimed their stake in Southern Gospel Music as one of America’s favorite Southern Gospel trios. They’ve had many hit songs since their formation in 1988. In 2018, this remarkable group became a quartet. Guardians Quartet members include Dean Hickman, Neil Uhrig, John Darin Rowsey and Pat Barker. The Guardians’ music impacts listeners with their sincerity and commitment to glorifying the Savior they sing about. Their collective mission is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and sing songs that minister to people’s hearts and touch their lives. In collaboration with Rev.

While their church commitments keep them close to home in Alabama, The Steeles have continued to write and perform music that has consistently charted on <strong>The Singing News </strong>Top 40 charts. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They feel the time is right for them to reconnect with fans and the industry by being a part of a record label, and StowTown Records is thrilled to be their new home. For co-owner and producer <strong>Wayne Haun,</strong> it feels like they are just picking up where they left off. “I worked with The Steeles 25 years ago. Most gospel music fans know our rich history together. It’s been at least 10 years since I last got to work with them and this just feels like going back home. Not much has changed – except Brad has grown up to be a powerhouse musician and songwriter in his own rite!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jeff and Sherry are happy to be working with their friend Wayne Haun and the team at StowTown. Jeff shares, “It’s been a long time since we were in the studio for a label and quite frankly I had said it would never happen again.” Sherry continues “Wayne has been family to The Steeles for 25 years. We just never allowed that door to close. We feel like it’s God’s timing, and we are excited.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Steeles’ first StowTown project will release in Spring 2020, and the first single to release to radio later this month.</p>

We support her, love her and we are so thankful for every moment, memory and mile traveled and spent together. The last almost 13 years touring as four siblings has been amazing. We look forward to creating new music, seeing new faces and connecting with so many of you this year on the road. It is with great anticipation we step across the threshold into 2020!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sarah (Reith) Noland is thankful for her tenure with the band and wishes them well as they enter this new season. She shares, “It's hard to put into words what nearly 13 years of singing with my siblings has meant to me. They have been so supportive and loving, and I’m forever grateful to them for believing in me. 2019 brought some wonderful changes into my life. I married the man of my dreams, and I’m now ready to begin a new chapter. I will forever look back upon these years with joy and gratefulness to our Lord for allowing me to sing His message of love. Thanks to each of you for putting faith in a southern raised banjo playing girl! May God richly bless you all!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The band is currently writing new music and gearing up for another busy year. Their three month run of shows at <strong>Silver Dollar City </strong>was so popular last year, the renowned theme park has invited them back for a four month artist-in-residence stint in 2020. Their current project, <em><strong>Another World,</strong></em> is distributed exclusively by <strong>Sony/Provident </strong>and is available at digital and retail outlets worldwide. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Growing up in rural Iowa, near the quiet town of Le Mars, less than a 30 minute drive from the neighboring state of South Dakota, The Browns enjoyed the simple pleasures of life on a farm. As family matriarch <strong>Shelly Brown </strong>explains, “There wasn’t a lot to do for entertainment, so the kids learned to entertain themselves.” Their natural love of music quickly began to capture the attention of the locals and before long, that local attention turned to national recognition. <em>Christmas In Our Hometown </em>is a reflection of those early days on the farm and the Christmas traditions they created in their loving, family environment. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Christmas In Our Hometown </em>features numerous Christmas classics, including “There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays” and “Over The River and Through The Woods.” The Browns also added their unique stylings to cover tunes like “I’d Still Like To Go To Grandma’s House For Christmas,” “Tennessee Christmas” and the Dolly Parton favorite, “I’ll Be Home With Bells On.” Brand new selections include the title cut, as well as “When You’re Home For Christmas,” “Night of Hope” and “Irish Christmas Blessing.” Additionally, the recording includes an instrumental version of the Christmas classic, “Sleigh Ride.” This particular selection includes the Browns at their best, delivering the masterful violin performance for which they are so recognized. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Throughout the past five years, the musical family has enjoyed hosting performances at their very own <strong>Browns Century Theater </strong>in their hometown of Le Mars. In 2015, the musical family kicked off their inaugural year, hosting 10 Christmas shows. This season, the family will perform to sold-out crowds five days a week during November and December. Last year during the Christmas season, multi-award winning producer, <strong>Wayne Haun </strong>visited the Theater and was so captivated by the “town square Christmas” feeling the evening evoked, he was compelled to produce a recording that would stir the same feelings of energy and Christmas cheer that he felt on that cold, December evening in Iowa. “When I saw this show on stage, it didn’t matter that I was in Le Mars, IA,” Haun reflects. “The Browns and this wonderful music transported me back to my hometown in Tennessee. I could literally smell the hot chocolate. It’ll take you there, too. Trust me!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“We are thrilled with the selections on this recording,” <strong>Michaela Brown </strong>explains. “Some are our personal family favorites that we used to sing in the car on the way from the farm to town when we were young children. Some are originals that we had a hand in writing, which always make them special, since we can put our own Christmas memories and thoughts into the music we share with our friends! We hope everyone loves this project as much as we loved creating it.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For more than 15 years, The Browns have brought joy to listeners with their musical talents, rich family harmonies and exuberant energy. This latest Christmas recording will no doubt bring listeners even more joy for decades to come. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Christmas In Our Hometown </em>is distributed by <strong>Sony/Provident Distribution </strong>and is available on digital platforms worldwide. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Christmas In Our Hometown </em>Track List: </strong><br>Christmas In Our Hometown <br>I’ll Be Home With Bells On <br>There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays <br>I’d Still Like To Go To Grandma’s House For Christmas <br>When You’re Home For Christmas <br>Sleigh Ride <br>Hot Chocolate <br>Night Of Hope <br>Over The River And Through The Woods <br>Tennessee Christmas <br>Irish Christmas Blessing </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABOUT THE BROWNS: </strong><br>It’s truly a family affair when The Browns hit the stage with their unmistakable style of gospel music. Shelly, Michaela, Adam and Andrew exude excitement on the stage and offer a life-changing experience to all who hear them. The Browns deliver the powerful message of the gospel through word and song and captivate audiences of all ages. Known for their fiddle playing antics and vocals, The Browns have wowed audiences around the world. The call to perform has not pushed this Iowa family to move to a big city. In fact, when not performing, they stay busy on their family farm or at their own Browns Century Theater, where they host various artists and shows year-round. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">What made this tour extra special was the fact that Taylor founder, <strong>Bob Taylor,</strong> took time out of his busy schedule to lead the tour himself. Taylor humbly shared the history of his renowned company and how he and business partner, <strong>Kurt Listug,</strong> have made it a priority to create quality instruments since their 1974 beginnings. He walked the tour group through many areas of the El Cajon factory and explained the detailed process and intricacies of building these magnificent instruments. Comedian/musician Tim Lovelace was impressed with the company’s environmental endeavors and shared, “I have owned a Taylor guitar for many years. Guitar players all around the world are fully aware of the quality and innovation of this stellar guitar company. But what really thrills me is the Taylor reforestation projects happening around the globe. We could hear Bob’s heart as he discussed the subject of balance and sustainability of the world’s precious forests. Giving back more than you take is definitely music to my ears. Many thanks to Bob and Cindy Taylor for all of the time they took with us!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Acclaimed songwriter/musician Geron Davis had this to say about Bob and Cindy Taylor, “What a joy to spend time with my longtime friends, the amazing guitar guru, Bob Taylor, and his incredible wife, Cindy. Bob has built a staggering global business, and he and Cindy have remained some of the most down-to-earth, precious people I know. I am honored to call them friends and thankful to be able to spend several hours together!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From beginners to popular touring artists of all genres to world-class studio musicians, Taylor guitars are loved by countless players of all levels of proficiency.

This project marks the first of its kind from the 2019 <strong>GMA Dove Award </strong>winner for <strong>Inspirational Song of the Year. </strong>“Christmas is such a special time of the year, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to produce the deluxe version of this Christmas recording,” TaRanda says with a big smile. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Spirit of Christmas Deluxe </em>features several Christmas classics including “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “Jingle Bells,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and “Silver Bells,” just to name a few. Also included are show stoppers like “O Holy Night,” “I Wonder As I Wander” and sure-to-become-classics like “Give Love On Christmas Day” and the title cut, “Spirit of Christmas.” The remake of the Whitney Houston classic “Who Would Imagine A King?” is another welcome addition to this stellar recording. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“This recording is very special to me,” TaRanda explains. “People always ask for classic Christmas songs, so that is what we wanted to do. With five of the songs having a three-piece band, we wanted to take the listener back to a time when life was much more simple; when kids popped popcorn, strung it around the Christmas tree, and the family snuggled around the fireplace and reflected on the true Reason for the Season, the birth of the Christ Child. This recording was so much fun to record, and I hope the listener enjoys the finished product as much as I enjoyed recording it.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For years, TaRanda has been inspiring listeners worldwide with her authenticity, energy and unmatched vocal ability.

<p>Since its October 18 release, <em>A True Family Christmas </em>has consistently ranked high on <strong>Nielsen SoundScan </strong>charts. And while this achievement is being celebrated, The Collingsworth Family is careful to point us all back to the reason for song – and for Christmas. “What an exciting time for our family!” <strong>Courtney Collingsworth Metz </strong>exclaims. “We are absolutely shocked and honored by the response to <em>A True Family Christmas.</em> We thank God for another opportunity to lift up His name through the celebration of Christ’s birth. Special thanks to our producer, <strong>Bradley Knight,</strong> for bringing this Christmas vision to life.” </p>
<p><strong>Wayne Haun,</strong> StowTown Records co-founder, shares, “While I hope this #1 is not the last for StowTown, there is nothing like the first time you get there at the top of a chart. And how fitting is it that the very first artist who signed with StowTown Records is the one to reach this pinnacle? We couldn’t be more pleased and look forward to more celebrations like this in the future.” </p>

<p>Claiming the #1 spot on the Inspirational chart, as well as on the <strong>Christian Seasonal </strong>chart, is <em><strong>A True Family Christmas </strong></em>by <strong>The Collingsworth Family.</strong> This project also debuted on the <strong>Current Contemporary Christian </strong>chart at #2 and at #8 on the <strong>Billboard Christian/Gospel Total Consumption </strong>chart. <em>A True Family Christmas</em> released on October 18. </p>
<p>At #5 on the Inspirational chart is the second 2019 StowTown Christmas release, <em><strong>What Christmas Really Means</strong></em> by <strong>The Erwins</strong>.

<p>Having recently won the GMA Dove Award for Inspirational Song of the Year for <strong>“When the Healing Comes,” TaRanda Greene</strong>’s project, <em><strong>The Healing</strong></em>, sits at #6 on this week’s Inspirational chart. <em>The Healing</em> released in September 2018 and has maintained consistent charting for the last year. </p>
<p>And at #9 on the Inspirational chart is artist <strong>Tiffany Coburn</strong>’s project <em><strong>Near to the Heart of God</strong></em>.

This <strong>StowTown Records </strong>release is available at all retail and digital outlets worldwide via <strong>Sony/Provident Distribution.</strong> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Perrys, comprised of <strong>Libbi Perry Stuffle, Troy Peach, Andrew Goldman </strong>and<strong> Jared Stuffle</strong>, have always chosen their material carefully. They take their mission to share the Gospel quite seriously, that does not mean sugar coating life to make everything seem easy. The last several years were difficult for the group as they cared for one of their own while continuing to travel and minister. With the passing of beloved bass singer <strong>Tracy Stuffle</strong>, the last two years have taken them through a journey of grief and of hope, which gives them even more to sing about. “It’s been over two years since The Perrys have released an album with all new material,” Troy shares. “It’s amazing to look back at what all could transpire in two years. <em>Keep Movin’ Along</em> is filled with songs that tell where we are, where we’ve been and where we’re going! We are excited to share this new season of life that God has afforded us.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Keep Movin’ Along</em> was produced and arranged by StowTown Records co-owner <strong>Wayne Haun.</strong> As someone who has walked on the hilltops and through the valleys with The Perrys over the last twenty years, he knows them, their story and their heart better than most people. “Of all the projects I’ve produced for The Perrys, this has to be the most diverse. It is heartfelt, fun, emotional, and it is groovy. Not only that, but you get to hear Libbi soar all the way up to a high B-flat on the ballad (“Take You to the Cross”) – and she never once complained!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The diversity Haun speaks of can be found in many aspects from song styles to songwriters to packaging. The Perrys are known to include a convention style song on each release, but this is the first time that song has been the title cut. Thirteen different songwriters contributed to the seven songs, including (former Perrys member) <strong>Joseph Habedank, Scotty Inman </strong>and<strong> Kenna Turner West.</strong> As the first recording following the death of Tracy, The Perrys knew that they wanted everything to convey the joy and hope they’ve chosen to embrace these last two years – and the bright colors of the cover photo were intentionally selected to show that visually. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even with this variety, the message and theme is consistent: God is faithful, God is always there, God loves you, and God is the answer. As Libbi has shared with fans, no matter what you are going through, God is, and always has been, there. And that is the message they continue to share through their music ministry as they <em>Keep Movin’ Along</em>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>KEEP MOVIN’ ALONG</em> TRACK LISTING: </strong><br>It Never Gets Old <br>Walk Me Through <br>Take You to the Cross <br>That’s How You Know <br>Tailor Made <br>Never A Time <br>Keep Movin’ Along</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63755272019-10-18T08:00:00-04:002020-11-12T09:58:01-05:00(October 18, 2019) - StowTown Records Celebrates Christmas With Two Holiday Releases<p><strong>Nashville, TN (October 18, 2019) – StowTown Records</strong> is already spreading the joy of Christmas with the release of two highly-anticipated recordings from fan-favorite artists, <strong>The Collingsworth Family </strong>&<strong> The Erwins</strong>. Both projects are distributed at digital and retail outlets worldwide via Sony/Provident Distribution. </p>
<p>All around the world, nothing says Christmas quite like being with family. <em><strong>A True Family Christmas</strong></em> is just that – a celebration of how The Collingsworth Family celebrates Christmas. Featuring warm, nostalgic harmonies reminiscent of The Carpenters, these carefully selected songs combine the universal feel of Christmas with the unapologetic message that Christmas is all about Christ. With compelling jazz arrangements, vocally and instrumentally, and the harmonies and blend for which The Collingsworth Family is known, there is no doubt that the Christmas season will be brighter with <em>A True Family Christmas</em> as the soundtrack for the holidays </p>
<p>"Without a doubt, <em>A True Family Christmas</em> was THE most fun we've ever had as a team in creating a recording,” shares <strong>Phil Collingsworth, Sr.</strong> “We loved working with <strong>Bradley Knight</strong> - how quickly he grasped our vocal ranges and appropriate voicings, inversions, and his extraordinary grasp of the Disneyesque Cinematic sound we were going for. It was a joy and pleasure on every level.” From the conception of the project, The Collingsworth Family covered the project in prayer. “The process of the selection of repertoire fell into place so easily,” Phil continues. “We had prayed, as a fleece, that if moving ahead with this recording was God's perfect timing, that He would help the final selection process to go easy and feel "right" to everyone in the team. Bradley was very involved and made just the right suggestions, at just the right time, and it came together smoothly and quite easily - an answer to prayer! What excitement it was, as we worked our way, over several months, through the process, to end up with a finished product that we're all so excited to offer our audience.” </p>
<p>The Collingsworth Family debuted the recording in front of 5,000 people at their showcase at the <strong>National Quartet Convention</strong> last month. Phil called that experience “mega exciting, a defining moment!" </p>
<p>Like The Collingsworth Family, The Erwins are spreading Christmas cheer with the release of their first Christmas project, <em>What Christmas Really Means.</em> As we grow up, our understanding of Christmas does, too. The Erwins embrace this with the intentional selection of songs that tell the Biblical Christmas story from beginning to end. These songs celebrate the prophecies about Messiah, the birth of the Christ child, the joyful tidings from angels and the visit from magi. Amidst these are also some familiar hits from Glad, Amy Grant and 4Him, as well as the original title cut, “What Christmas Really Means.” </p>
<p>"We are blown away by this Christmas project!" <strong>Kris Erwin</strong> exclaims. "Our producer, Wayne Haun, outdid himself and worked so hard to make this project incredible. We cannot wait for everyone to hear what we believe is the highest quality of music we’ve ever released as we share the timeless message of <em>What Christmas Really Means.” </em></p>
<p>Produced and arranged by <strong>Wayne Haun</strong>, <em>What Christmas Really Means</em> is a sonically festive celebration for fans. He enjoyed the nostalgia that came with this project. “For me, this album could be titled <em>Christmas Through the Years</em>,” joked Haun. “Each song takes me to a place back in time, from high school in the 80s, to college in the 90s and my early career in the new century. It was a fun project for me.” </p>

TaRanda was honored with Inspirational Song of the Year for “When The Healing Comes.” Triumphant Quartet’s 2019 release, Yes, was named Southern Gospel Album of the Year. </strong></p>
<p>“When The Healing Comes” was written by <strong>TaRanda, Geron Davis, Wayne Haun </strong>and<strong> Joel Lindsey </strong>and is on her 2018 release <em><strong>The Healing</strong></em>. While the song itself was birthed out of TaRanda’s personal story, it has been a balm for many who suffer from personal tragedies. </p>
<p>TaRanda expressed her gratitude, “I’m still a bit overwhelmed. I didn’t see this one coming. Every nominee in the category was so worthy to win the Dove. I’m grateful to be in such beautiful company, and I’m grateful to have so many amazing people cheering me on. When my name was called, my thoughts scattered, and I failed to say thank you to so many people who helped make this song what it is...people like Nate Goble, my record label, Stowtown Records, Provident Distribution, Jason Webb, Wayne Haun, every musician and singer, Ronnie Brookshire, who spent endless hours behind a console engineering and mixing the song. There are just so many people, from the marketing team to fans, who encourage me with messages about this song. I’m overwhelmed by the love I receive on a daily basis from my husband and my children. They are the heart and soul of what I do. I am a very blessed woman...every day. I’m so grateful to my Heavenly Father for giving me this life and the opportunities that come along in it. He is just so good!” </p>
<p>Triumphant Quartet is celebrating their first Dove Award win. Yes was produced by Wayne Haun and <strong>Gordon Mote.</strong> In addition to being nominated, Triumphant Quartet sang <strong>“Jesus is Coming Soon” </strong>on the televised program. </p>
<p>Scotty Inman of Triumphant shares, “We are truly blown away. The four of us recently began our 18th year as a group, and the Lord continues to pour out blessings on our ministry. We truly hope this award is a sign of what the songs on the album are doing to help grow the Body of Christ. Again, thank you to the GMA and its voters!” </p>
<p>“It’s difficult to put into words how elated I am today,” says Wayne Haun. “I personally see how hard these artists work to get to the finish line of a project. There might not be blood, but plenty of sweat and tears during the process, so to watch as their fellow GMA members honor them gives me hope that what we do is worth it. Lives are truly changed through the power of this music and the eternal impact of its message.” </p>
<p>The 50th Dove Awards show was live streamed on Sirius XM and will air on TBN on October 20 at 8:00 PM EST. </p>

When my niece ran away from a rehab facility and finally decided it was time to turn her life around, she was given a ride by a family who happened to be playing our music. The irony of her family being on that CD Player in that car was not lost on her that night. But the song that she clung to as she turned her life around was ‘Chain Breaker’. She knew the One who broke chains, found her when she was lost, took away her pain and saved her. Thank God for the power of the music we all create and share!” </p>

I wish Papaw and Mamaw Haun could have tuned in today. Getting to go back to my hometown and celebrate the Dove nominations with a few old friends, as well as some new ones, was really fun!” </p>

StowTown artists <strong>Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Triumphant Quartet, Lizzy Long, TaRanda Greene, the Collingsworth Family and the Guardians Quartet are all nominees for this, the 50th annual GMA Dove Awards. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wayne Haun’s nominations include <strong>Producer of the Year,</strong> as well as several songwriting and production nominations in various categories. Although honored to receive the most nominations across all genres of gospel music, Haun turns his focus to his StowTown family of artists. “It is such an honor to be a part of an industry that provides a platform for all of our artists to propel the message of the gospel into the world. I would like to thank the GMA for giving a genre-specific category to our Inspirational artists. I look forward to celebrating 50 years of Gospel Music at the GMA Dove Awards!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ernie Haase & Signature Sound has been nominated for both <strong>Southern Gospel Artist of the Year</strong>, as well as <strong>Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year </strong>for “Longing For Home.” This song, written by Ernie Haase, Joel Lindsey and Wayne Haun is from the 2018 release <em>Clear Skies,</em> a project which received a 2019 Grammy nomination for Best Roots/Gospel Album. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The StowTown various artist project, Fanny Crosby: Newly Discovered Hymns & Songs, received a nomination for the song “Beside the Cross.” Performed by <strong>Rhonda Vincent,</strong> StowTown artist Lizzy Long and <strong>Sally Berry, </strong>this song got the nod for <strong>Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year.</strong> Collaborating with Bluegrass performers like Rhonda and Sally is fun for Lizzy, but to record a song with them that was originally penned by the late hymn-writer, Fanny Crosby, over 100 years ago makes this nomination extremely special. </p>

Crosby</strong> (1820-1915) and the songwriting collaboration of <strong>Wayne Haun, Jeff Bumgardner </strong>and<strong> Joel Lindsey.</strong> </p>
<p>When StowTown Records was offered the opportunity to look through a treasure trove of incomplete lyrics by the late hymnist, they were thrilled. Fanny Crosby, known for hymns such as “Blessed Assurance,” “Tell Me the Story of Jesus” and “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior,” was the most prolific songwriter of her time, having completed over 8,000 hymns in addition to numerous songs of various genres. </p>
<p>This particular song, “Beside the Cross,” easily lent itself to a Bluegrass feel, and producer Wayne Haun knew that Rhonda, Lizzy & Sally were the perfect fit for the completed song. “It was such an honor for us to be asked to complete a work from one of the greatest writers in history,” reflects Haun. “When you couple that with these three extraordinary voices, the end result is stunning. I know Fanny Crosby would be proud.” </p>

This collection of 10 songs features the variety of bluegrass for which they are well known. </p>
<p>“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate 10 years of music with Little Roy than this album,” shares <strong>Lizzy Long</strong>. “It showcases our versatility – everything we’ve learned through the years. From gospel to straight bluegrass to country, we’ve performed and recorded it all.” </p>
<p>The band’s success has been solidified on the <strong>Singing News Bluegrass Chart </strong>where they have the current #1 song for the month of June. “In A Whirlwind” is actually the fourth #1 song on that chart from their previous project, <em>Going Home.</em> This success is an achievement to be celebrated. </p>
<p>Executive Producer, <strong>Wayne Haun</strong>, has worked with Little Roy and Lizzy from the beginning, and he is proud of their bluegrass success. “Little Roy & Lizzy have been so much fun to produce for the last ten years. The wide variety of bluegrass, gospel and country songs in their repertoire allows them to connect with an audience that’s just as varied. That variety makes each session, each concert and each album entertaining and unique. I look forward to what the next ten years hold for them.” </p>
<p>After so many years working with an icon like <strong>Little Roy Lewis</strong>, the stories Lizzy has to share are endless. “I’ve been blessed to work with the best in this industry,” Lizzy reflects. “To have Little Roy by my side just makes it worthwhile and very interesting! This album came from our heart. Every song has meaning to us both in one way or another. We love this album and know that you will, too.” </p>

<hr><p><strong>ABOUT THE LITTLE ROY & LIZZY SHOW: </strong><br>The Little Roy & Lizzy Show features two of Bluegrass Music’s greatest musicians: icon Little Roy Lewis and Lizzy Long. Little Roy is well-known for his banjo virtuosity, having learned to play when he was six years old. USA Today called Little Roy “a banjo master, truly a picker’s picker” – one concert with The Little Roy & Lizzy Show and you’ll know that’s not an exaggeration. In addition to banjo, he also plays the guitar and autoharp and sings. He’s been inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music Association (SPBGMA) Hall of Greats, the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Hall of Honor and the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Lizzy Long also began her musical career at an early age, learning how to play piano, fiddle, guitar, autoharp, bass, banjo and mandolin. While she is best known for playing fiddle, she is quite accomplished on all instruments. Having toured with such greats as Mac Wiseman, Jim and Jesse, The Lewis Family and Earl Scruggs, Lizzy knew her quest for success would continue in pairing with Little Roy Lewis. She has won several “Bluegrass Song of the Year” awards, GMA Dove Awards for “Bluegrass/Country/Roots Song of the Year” and is one of the youngest fiddlers to be inducted into America’s Old Time Fiddler’s Country Hall of Fame. Together, as The Little Roy & Lizzy Show, they tour extensively throughout the United States playing in various festivals, churches and entertainment halls. </p>

<p><strong>Phil Collingsworth, Sr.</strong> shares, “It was an honor to have been asked by the National Day of Prayer committee to perform for their opening ceremonies this year in Washington, D.C. Our family so enjoyed talking with <strong>Dr. James and Shirley Dobson</strong>, who have so long been associated with the NDOP (Shirley Dobson was the president for 25 years.) To see that group of politicians and associated government dignitaries call on our Creator and ask for His intervention was an experience of a lifetime for our family. And to enjoy a personal tour of the U.S. Capitol at midnight and to sit in the empty House Chamber and pray aloud for those who would be sitting in those seats the next day was a moment I will never, ever forget.” </p>
<p>Producer and co-founder of <strong>StowTown Records, Wayne Haun</strong>, was delighted to be able to attend the banquet with The Collingsworth Family. “Several hundred dignitaries had been sitting for more than two hours when The Collingsworth Family took the stage, and the room was literally transformed. Immediately, the breath of fresh air in that room was felt by all of us, and that was reflected by looks of true joy on each and every face. I know The Collingsworth Family was honored to be there to sing, but it was evident that, at that very moment, the roles were reversed. We were all honored by their presence. We have something very special in The Collingsworth Family.” </p>
<p>May 2nd was the National Day of Prayer, which was observed by millions for the 68th year. The National Day of Prayer initiative was passed into law in 1952 under President Harry S. Truman. Decades later, in 1988, President Ronald Reagan designated the first Thursday in May as the annual observance for the National Day of Prayer. It now includes multiple events during the week, bringing more opportunities for people to gather with the common purpose of interceding for America.

Had the tire came in six inches higher, our story this morning would be one of disaster.

<p>After a strong week of sales, <em>Yes</em> entered the <strong>Nielsen Christian SoundScan</strong> (a division of Nielsen Entertainment) Current Contemporary Christian chart at #7 and on the Southern Gospel chart at #1. </p>
<p>Triumphant Quartet could not be more pleased. “We are completely blown away by the support that we’ve been shown,” shared <strong>Scotty Inman</strong>. “Fans and friends wrapped their arms around us and loved on us, and we are very grateful. Our prayer is that this album makes a true difference in the life of each person who listens to it.” </p>
<p>StowTown Records also recognizes that these particular successes are beyond their efforts. Co-founder <strong>Wayne Haun</strong> said, “While I am always thankful for the staff at the label and the distributor for all their efforts and hard work, I have to really thank the fans for this. They are the ones who go to the stores and purchase the product that we so passionately promote. Without them, we wouldn’t be at number one, and it feels really, really good.” </p>
<p><em>Yes</em> is available now at all retail and digital outlets worldwide and is distributed exclusively by <strong>Sony/Provident.</strong></p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63759612019-03-15T08:00:00-04:002020-07-04T14:58:15-04:00(March 15, 2019) - Triumphant Quartet Releases Highly Anticipated Project<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/523a4fa616d5819f22a0901278ea7fe940ec5a17/original/triumphant-quartet-yes.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" style="margin-right: 15px;" />StowTown Records</strong> artist <strong>Triumphant Quartet,</strong> 10-time Singing News Fan Awards Traditional Male Quartet of the Year, has released their newest project, which is already receiving rave reviews. With the success of not two, but three hit singles on their previous release, the bar was set high, songs were carefully chosen and production was well-planned. The result is <em><strong>Yes</strong></em>, which is available at retail and digital outlets worldwide today via <strong>Sony/Provident Distribution</strong>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Produced by <strong>Gordon Mote </strong>and<strong> Wayne Haun</strong>, Yes includes new songs from today’s top songwriters and in true Triumphant fashion, displays a wide range of styles, from Southern to CCM. “Triumphant Quartet really understands their audience as well as anyone I’ve ever worked with,” shares Gordon. “They came to us with songs and a vision, and it was up to me and Wayne to help them achieve the goals they set.” With a killer band of musicians and great songs, they were easily on their way to success. All they needed to add was fun. Gordon continues, “We had a blast in the studio! These guys are so funny, and it wasn’t a chore to hang out with them. We just happened to get some work done while having a great time.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Having two of Nashville’s biggest names at the helm of Yes was not only a big deal for Triumphant Quartet, but was also a privilege for the producers themselves. “I’ve been working with Gordon for almost 20 years,” reflects Wayne Haun. “Producing with Gordon is something I rarely get to do, but it is always a career highlight. The collaboration and exchange of ideas, coupled with the freedom Triumphant gave us to be creators, was remarkable on this album.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fans got a taste of the fantastic collaboration on this album when the first single, “Even Me,” was sent to radio in November 2018. It quickly debuted on the <strong>Singing News</strong> Top 80 Chart and currently sits in the top 20. The lyric video for “Even Me” has garnered high praise from fans since its release around the same time. You can see that video on YouTube <a contents="HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/hauzkb/54960p/58cgtg" target="_blank"><strong>HERE</strong></a>. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Group baritone and songwriter <strong>Scotty Inman</strong> summed up the heart of the quartet, “The album <em>Yes</em> is a culmination of the last few years of touring and listening to people share their hearts with us. These songs were written and/or selected from those moments. Our prayer is that listeners will be encouraged and refreshed by our efforts.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>TRACK LISTING: </strong><br>Going There <br>Even Me <br>Eye of the Storm <br>Yes <br>What He’s Done For Me <br>Give You All the Glory <br>Joy <br>A Little Bit <br>All Things Good <br>Only God Knows <br>We Believe </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABOUT TRIUMPHANT QUARTET: </strong><br>From their beginnings at the Louise Mandrell Theater in Pigeon Forge, TN, in 2003, Triumphant Quartet has shown what consistency and quality look like in Gospel Music. Their smooth harmonies and rich quartet sound quickly gained national attention, creating a demand for concert appearances outside of their home theater. In 2008, they left the theater to take their music on the road nationally. As the recipients of multiple fan and industry awards, Triumphant has also achieved great success on radio. They excel in diversity and expand their musical borders to a wide variety of styles that are enjoyed by church audiences and music lovers of all ages. Audience goers find themselves smiling, laughing, crying, encouraged and uplifted, but most of all, they walk away having had the gospel message presented to them in a powerful way. Jesus Christ is Triumphant Quartet’s focus, and it is their hope that many will receive Christ as their Lord and Savior, because He is the reason they sing. </p>

Get out your favorite mug and prepare to fill up on <em><strong>The Bluegrass Sessions: Living In A Coffee World</strong></em>, available now on all digital music platforms. </p>
<p>Tim Lovelace, <strong>Billboard</strong> Top 10 comedian, set out to merge two of his favorite things, his crystal clean comedy and his love of Bluegrass music. <em>The Bluegrass Sessions: Living In A Coffee World</em> is a special digital release of four of Lovelace’s most popular original comedy songs done Bluegrass style! The title track and first single from the project features the <strong>Queen of Bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent,</strong> and seasoned artist <strong>Darrell Webb.</strong> Together Vincent and Webb join Lovelace to create the classic vocal sound recognizable to all Bluegrass fans while delivering an unmatched brand of comedy. Be sure to listen through to the end of this track for an unfiltered, unscripted Tim Lovelace belly laugh! </p>
<p><em>The Bluegrass Sessions: Living In A Coffee World</em>, produced by <strong>Darrell Webb, Wayne Haun </strong>and<strong> Tim Lovelace </strong>was recorded at <strong>NoraBelle Studio </strong>(Sevierville, TN). It is a <strong>StowTown Records </strong>release and Tim’s first venture into the Bluegrass world, even though he has firm roots in the genre. Lovelace said, “I am overjoyed to have two of the greatest vocalists and instrumentalists in Bluegrass today on these songs. To have the talented Darrell Webb singing tenor above me and the Queen of Bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent, singing above Darrell, I thought I would have to stand on an apple crate just to sing under them! We had too much fun with these songs, and I hope everyone has a laugh with us!” </p>
<p>Webb enthusiastically shares, “I’ve been a fan of Tim’s for a long time, and when I found out he wanted to do a Bluegrass project I was all in. I knew how much fun it would be, and I was really looking forward to making some great music with Tim.” </p>
<p>StowTown Records executive, <strong>Nate Goble,</strong> shares, “We are excited to be releasing Tim Lovelace’s Bluegrass Sessions EP. Tim is so talented; from his musicianship to songwriting abilities, his stage presence to his approachability off stage, you’re just beginning to see what this guy can do. Tim’s brand of clean comedy is second to none!” </p>
<p>“Living In A Coffee World” is followed by “Mercurochrome,” featuring Webb (banjo, guitar, mandolin) and resonator guitar great, <strong>Matt Leadbetter</strong>. This upbeat, barnburner-style tune will bring tears to your eyes and possibly stir up some “painful” memories. </p>
<p>“Some Assembly Required” is a hilarious take on Christmas morning that will resonate with parents young and old. <strong>Stephen Burwell</strong>, a rising star among fiddle players on the Bluegrass circuit, provides all the swing you’ll need to get your hands to clapping. </p>
<p>“What Happened To Tomatoes” will strike a chord with farmers, gardeners and anyone who appreciates simple Southern food. Webb kicks it off with some sassy mandolin, and five-time national banjo champion, <strong>Gary “Biscuit” Davis</strong>, chimes in with a healthy portion of his signature sound. As an added bonus, Lovelace casts the Queen of Bluegrass again here in a starring role as the no-nonsense cashier.

<p>Produced by <strong>Wayne Haun, Trey Ivey, Mike Swift </strong>and<strong> Jamey Ray,</strong> songs from Near to the Heart have already made an impact on concert attendees. “It is so much fun sharing these incredible hymns and inspirational songs with churches across the country," shares Tiffany. "I am so thankful for Wayne Haun, who masterfully crafted these timeless treasures into new creations while honoring the integrity of the original song. The response from concerts is encouraging and I could not be more thrilled to share this collection of songs with everyone.” </p>
<p>While the tracks on this project give you a glimpse into Tiffany's heart, she easily and willingly shares what God is doing in her life. “I have been involved in the music business through touring and singing in churches or at Disney my entire life. Through many years, miles on the road, questioning what is next, and so many prayers, God revealed He is not finished with me. Today marks my first national Gospel release, and I could not be more thankful for this incredible opportunity for ministry. If there is one thing I hope to impress on you it's that God can and will use anyone who is willing. It really doesn’t matter if you are a teenager, a young parent, someone who is recently retired or enjoying the twilight years. Whatever your season of life – trust God. He sees you. He has a plan for you. It is easy to believe that God will use someone possibly younger, more connected or more gifted. In fact, God wants to be glorified by you. He wants to be seen through you. It doesn’t require a national stage. Many times the most meaningful connections are in your neighborhood, at school or your workplace. I encourage you to be willing to show God’s love to others.” </p>
<p>Narrow Gate Entertainment is an independent Christian Concert Promotions and Record Company based in Louisville, KY. President Mike Swift is pleased about this new partnership and release. “It has been an incredible blessing to partner with the StowTown Records family. The support the team has shown Tiffany has been tremendous." Mike adds, "Tiffany is enjoying being on tour with Point of Grace this year. She has recently performed with Gospel greats like <strong>Sandi Patty, Larnelle Harris, Charles Billingsley, </strong>and<strong> TaRanda Greene.</strong> We are excited about new opportunities to partner with Gospel artists who share the same passion for ministry.” </p>
<p>Co-owner and CEO of StowTown Records, <strong>Landon Beene</strong>, is delighted to be expanding the Inspirational artist roster at StowTown. “Tiffany Coburn is a singer’s singer with an amazing résumé. It is an honor for StowTown Records to be the home to her music. Our goal with StowTown was to create a broad reach of quality music that would span many genres.

Our industry has proven that with hard work, we have high-quality music to share, and it is worth every bit of effort we give.

Regardless of your musical preference, the new multi-artist Christmas project from <strong>StowTown Records</strong> will have you in the Christmas spirit. The second offering in the <strong>Heart & Soul Series, <em>Joy: The Ultimate Christmas Collection</em></strong> includes 20 Christmas songs from today’s top artists. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Co-founder and producer, <strong>Wayne Haun</strong>, shares, “This CD is patterned after the <em>Time-Life Treasury of Christmas </em>collections. One of the reasons those were so popular was that they offered a variety of styles in music and emotion. With <em>Joy: The Ultimate Christmas Collection</em> we give the listener a wide variety of styles from a brass choir to bluegrass in a long-play CD format which they can enjoy at parties, over dinner, while wrapping Christmas gifts or just for fun. When we say ‘Ultimate,’ we mean it!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Starting the project with a big orchestral number, “Christmas Prelude,” pianist <strong>Trey Ivey</strong> is followed by country group <strong>4th + Main</strong>’s “Imagine This Christmas.” For those who like the familiar classics, “O Come All Ye Faithful” (<strong>Jody McBrayer</strong>), “Auld Lang Syne” (<strong>TaRanda</strong>) and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” (<strong>The Perrys</strong>) will be favorites. Southern Gospel fans will enjoy <strong>George Younce</strong>’s “Silent Night” and <strong>Ernie Haase & Signature Sound</strong>’s “What Child Is This?” while fans of Traditional Gospel will have <strong>Lillie Knauls</strong>’ “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” on repeat. Bluegrass group <strong>Southern Raised</strong> contributes “Carol of the Bells” and <strong>The Browns</strong>’ “English Carol Medley” will delight the listener with carols of days gone by. And that’s just half of the project! From spiritual hymns to fun, light-hearted songs, the listener will be in the Christmas spirit as they sing along. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Recently, Wayne Haun and I took a rare afternoon off from all our endeavors and met in Nashville where we sat down and listened to Joy from beginning to end,” recalls StowTown Records co-founder and artist <strong>Ernie Haase</strong>. “Joy was on our faces and in our hearts! Tears of joy even flowed. This project is so good! You want joy this Christmas? I highly recommend you purchase this CD and do what we did: be intentional. Turn off your cell phone, close your laptop, sit down with family and friends, and experience Christ’s love through this music.” </p>

<p>"We feel a sense of urgency now more than ever to sound a call for revival in the church, this nation and the world,” states <strong>John Darin Rowsey</strong>. “From the first note of the project to the last, we wanted to create a spiritual and emotional journey that would touch the heart and soul of everyone who heard it. As the debut quartet project, we certainly wanted to make use of the talents of Pat Barker. The arrangements of Wayne Haun and the brilliant writing from some of the industry's top writers have definitely accomplished that. There is an excitement in the songs on this project that has created a new zeal in all of us. We can't wait to share the message in the songs!" </p>
<p>Several of the songs recorded were written specifically with their revival tour in mind as they travel with <em>Revive America</em>, led by <strong>Rev. Terry Toler.</strong> In true Guardians form, they treat this project like a member of the family, carefully paying attention to every detail. </p>
<p>“<strong>Dean</strong> <strong>Hickman</strong> and The Guardians truly believe in the integrity of presentation,” said <strong>Wayne</strong> <strong>Haun</strong>, StowTown co-founder and producer. “They are genuine in their love for the Gospel message and their love for gospel music. How many tenor singers are still performing and traveling at age 70?! Dean is amazing, both on stage and off. There is no greater cheerleader for young people in our industry, and I am honored to have worked with him and The Guardians on <em>Ready for Revival</em>.”</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63787402018-10-12T08:00:00-04:002020-07-07T14:21:36-04:00(October 12, 2018) - StowTown Records Announces Signing Tiffany Coburn to Label<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/6973644d11cf21793ba5f596edab2b12807a307e/original/tiffany-coburn-near-to-the-heart.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_none" alt="" style="margin-left: 15px;" /><strong>(October 12, 2018) - StowTown Records</strong> recently added <strong>Tiffany</strong> <strong>Coburn</strong> to their roster of artists through a partnership with <strong>Narrow Gate Entertainment</strong>.

<p style="text-align: justify;">“God has opened so many doors this year, and God’s hand and direction have been evident throughout the entire process,” shares Tiffany. “While I love each opportunity to sing, my heart is most full when ministering in song to the church. We live in a world filled with stress and anxiety, and it is my hope to encourage others in Christ to love not only each other, but to show love to everyone. To have Narrow Gate Entertainment and StowTown Records come alongside and support this effort is more than I could have dreamed. I am honored to join a new family of artists who share the same passion for ministry and am thankful for the support teams at Narrow Gate, StowTown, Provident and Sony who believe in what we are doing.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Narrow Gate Entertainment is an independent Christian Concert Promotions and Record Company based in Louisville, KY. President <strong>Mike</strong> <strong>Swift</strong> is thrilled by this new partnership. “I count it a blessing to know Landon Beene and Wayne Haun of StowTown Records. Both have a sincere passion for excellence, but what I admire most is their heart to encourage people and point them to Christ. It is an honor for Narrow Gate to partner with StowTown Records and share in the mission to create and present music that speaks to the heart of the church. StowTown has an exceptional roster and lasting passion for gospel and inspirational Christian music. We are excited to bring Tiffany Coburn to the StowTown family and look forward with great anticipation to what God has in store.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sharing in this excitement is co-owner and CEO of StowTown Records, <strong>Landon</strong> <strong>Beene</strong>, “We are excited about this new venture with Narrow Gate Entertainment. Mike Swift has been a strong footprint in the church for themed music events which engage the local church and their community. The marriage between StowTown Records and Narrow Gate is exciting! Tiffany Coburn is a singer’s singer with an amazing resume. It is an honor for StowTown Records to be the home to her music. Our goal with StowTown was to create a broad reach of quality music that would span many genres. This is a great opportunity to do all of that within this agreement with Tiffany and Narrow Gate Entertainment.” </p>

While not all artists are ordained ministers, they are carrying out the Great Commission to take the Gospel throughout the world. Recently, several StowTown Records artists have traveled beyond geographical borders to take their music, the Gospel, into all nations. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This summer, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Browns</strong> toured throughout Scandinavia, performing in Norway and Sweden over a period of 7 days. They had a fabulous time sharing gospel music with people in several different churches, but one that stood out was a beautiful 180-year old church in Norway. “It was amazing!” recalls <strong>Michaela</strong> <strong>Brown</strong>. “It was built out of huge beams. We could have sung there all night!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, <strong>TaRanda</strong> <strong>Greene</strong> also took a trip to Europe – her second such trip within 10 months. For this trip, her first one to England, she joined the choirs from Champion Forest Baptist (Houston, TX), the University Church (Oxford, England) and Kensington Temple (Kensington, England). Each concert was unique in their set up and location, one even included tours in which some tourists of the church stayed to listen rather than continuing on their tour. TaRanda reflects, “I really hope the Lord will allow me to go back and sing to the wonderful people of England again. It’s one of my favorite places to be. There seemed to be such intrigue, as well as a hunger for gospel music and for a connection of hope in something to bring us together. I want to have more opportunities to tell them that hope is Jesus.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The</strong> <strong>Taylors</strong> are getting ready to board a plane and head to the United Kingdom at the end of October. They will perform in Belfast, Ireland, as well as in Edinburgh, Scotland. They are looking forward to these concerts – their 5th in Northern Ireland and 2nd in Scotland. “We are thankful for all of the European promoters who have allowed us to be a part of their events,” shares Suzanne Taylor Hise. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Doug</strong> <strong>Anderson</strong>, who spent time in Norway last fall, is preparing for a Christmas tour of the same area. From November 22 through December 4, Anderson will share multiple stages in the Julecountry Festival alongside such artists as Gordon Mote, High Road, Michael Lee, Justified and Kinsey Rose. “I am thrilled to be going back to Norway to participate in the 25th Anniversary of the Julecountry Festival,” Doug shares. “This is going to be a Christmas tour to remember!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“I have been hearing about all of my fellow StowTown Records artists who are taking their music to Europe and my heart says, YES!” exclaims <strong>Ernie</strong> <strong>Haase</strong>, StowTown Records co-founder and artist. “For the last 12 years, we (EHSS) have made the effort to ‘Go into all the world and preach/sing the Gospel’ and to see others going through the same doors, I echo the sentiment, ‘Some plant, some water, but God gets the increase.’ Gospel music and the message of Christ are going worldwide, and all I can say is Praise the Lord!” </p>

The ceremony was held this afternoon at the National Quartet Convention, an annual event at the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge, TN. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tracy Stuffle joined The Perrys in 1985 and sang with them until his death in February 2018.

During their release weekend, they led worship at the <strong>Brooklyn Tabernacle Church</strong> in Brooklyn, New York. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Phil & Kim Collingsworth</strong>, along with their children, <strong>Phillip, Brooklyn (Blair), Courtney (Metz) and Olivia</strong>, saw their newest offering climb the iTunes charts over the weekend, reaching #2 on the Christian & Gospel chart, as well as #13 on the overall iTunes chart. While these accolades are wonderful and exciting, the real highlight has been hearing how these songs have been blessing fans. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“After months and months of very hard, detailed work, it was exhilarating to finally enjoy the release day of <em>Mercy & Love</em>!” exclaimed Phil. “The day included a special, sold-out release concert in Kernersville, NC and a release party there with nearly 200 in attendance. We continued the celebration with our annual date at The Brooklyn Tabernacle where we sang the new music from <em>Mercy & Love</em> to the more than 10,000 people in attendance on Sunday.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the last several weeks, The Collingsworth Family has been releasing behind-the-scenes video of each song. The response from fans has been overwhelming. In fact, their video for “Your Ways Are Higher Than Mine” stunned the group when it reached over 150,000 people within the first 24-hours. They read through each comment, all 1,300 of them. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“The feedback that we received from the thousands of folks who left us messages throughout the 14-week process of Behind the Song videos on Facebook has been so humbling,” stated Phil. “They brought us front and center with the stark realization that songs can be a life line for the listener who is going through a heart-wrenching situation. It quickly reminded us of the reason that our song selection process is so critical – a process which includes a lot of prayer and running the selections off of each of the 6 group members.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This project was both a labor of love and a dream come true. Co-produced by <strong>Wayne Haun </strong>and<strong> David T. Clydesdale</strong>, the orchestrations for this project were recorded by the world-renowned <strong>City of Prague Philharmonic</strong> in Prague, Czech Republic. Having the opportunity to work with these skilled musicians brought out the best in this multi-talented family, all classically trained musicians themselves. Each song is sung with passion and precision. While lyrics are key for them when choosing material, their vocal capabilities are second-to-none, and their stylistic versatility is evident throughout the album. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“I count myself blessed to have worked with such a talented family for so many years,” shares Wayne Haun. “Not only have I witnessed the musical maturity of the kids into adulthood, I’ve also gotten to know them like my own family. This project is even more special to me because I co-produced it with my music hero, David Clydesdale. We all made a great team, each bringing our best to the table at every point in the process.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Phil concludes, “We couldn’t be happier with the finished product and are so thankful to the many, many talented people who gave of their amazing talents to complete a recording of this nature.” But bringing the gratitude back to where The Collingsworth Family focuses, “Most of all, we thank our Heavenly Father who truly gave the song.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first single, the title cut, “Mercy and Love,” is an upbeat song that celebrates our salvation through Jesus and the peace we have in that redemption. <em>Mercy & Love </em>is available at retail and digital outlets worldwide and is distributed by <strong>Sony/Provident Distribution</strong>.</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63788052018-09-05T08:00:00-04:002020-07-07T15:42:53-04:00(September 5, 2018) - SoundScan Success for StowTown Records Artists<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Nashville, TN (September 5, 2018)</strong> – August was a banner month for StowTown Records.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Landon Beene, </strong>CEO of StowTown Records, couldn’t be more encouraged by these robust numbers. “With all of the time, money and resources invested in creating great music, it is so encouraging to see the response of the fans. It’s easy to create media buzz, but the sales numbers tell the truth behind the quality of the music produced and, more importantly, the people being touched by the music.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The August releases, <em>The Healing </em>and<em> Watch & See,</em> also garnered top ten spots on the <strong>iTunes</strong> Christian & Gospel chart.

It is our ambition, whether individually or collectively, to reach the world with the gospel. With that goal in mind, it is with joy and honor that our Cana’s Voice family shares with you that Jody McBrayer has agreed to reunite with Avalon for a recorded album and select tour dates, as his schedule allows, in addition to continuing his solo ministry and his vital role within Cana’s Voice. </p>
<p>“I would not be back, doing ministry full time if it weren’t for the kindness of Landon Beene and everyone at StowTown Records. Cana’s Voice and StowTown will remain my top priority and I’m excited to get into the studio this fall and begin recording our sophomore project that will release early 2019,” Jody shares. </p>
<p>TaRanda Greene says, “Don’t think I won’t be on the front row of every Avalon concert I can possibly attend to cheer on my best friend Jody McBrayer. I know every lyric, every part and I’m prepared to jump up on stage should any catastrophe arise. Go get them Jody!” </p>
<p>Doug Anderson adds, “I have always loved Avalon’s music! I’m excited for Jody and think it’s cool that he has an opportunity to reunite with them. As a fan, I can’t wait to hear it. As a friend, I couldn’t be more thrilled!” </p>
<p>Landon Beene, founder of Cana’s Voice and CEO of StowTown Records, concludes “The members of Cana’s Voice are encouraged to walk through any doors which afford an opportunity to carry the gospel to a broader platform. Like the branches of a tree, we want the ministry of Cana’s Voice to grow in many different directions. With Jody’s reintroduction to Avalon, his fans will have the privilege of seeing what God has been doing in his life and ministry the last several years.” </p>
<p>Cana’s Voice is not the sum of three individuals, it is the message of Jesus’ love and a voice for the broken. We are thrilled for any opportunity that shouts Jesus to the multitudes! </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">TaRanda Greene has long been known for her undeniably excellent vocal talent, but now, there’s a difference. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today, <strong>TaRanda</strong> releases <em><strong>The Healing</strong></em>, available from StowTown Records on Provident/Sony Distribution. The voice - as beautiful and exquisite as ever - does more than just tickle the ear, it takes you on a journey with one theme – the faithfulness of God. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">TaRanda has been through some tough moments in life, and you can hear that experience in her voice. She is no stranger to heartache and pain - experiencing the health battles of her late husband Tony Greene, and ultimately, his passing - but she knows one thing for sure: God will never leave you or forsake you, and He is always in the process of bringing healing through His mercy, grace and redemption. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Healing is her first full project of new music since 2014, and there's good reason. TaRanda explains, "My record company had been trying to get me to record a new CD for a while now, but it just seemed that nothing was going right. I loved the songs that were sent to me, but nothing really clicked and resonated with me like I wanted. I was having trouble connecting...so, I kept dragging my feet. In an attempt to get me moving on something, StowTown set up a time for me to write with some of my favorite writers. I’d never really done this before. The one time I tried was over a decade ago and for a much different type of project. And if I’m being honest, I was probably more “in the room” than a part of writing. So, here I was in the perfect creative space, with three writing and musical geniuses, and more importantly, three of my most precious friends: Wayne Haun, Joel Lindsey and Geron Davis. What came from that day was the beginning of The Healing." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What took three years to complete is a musical gift to the soul. From the rollicking and upbeat tunes "Think About You," "New Kingdom Rising," "Somebody Told Me About Jesus," to the pensive and thoughtful compositions "When The Healing Comes" and "Mercy Has Changed Me," this musical experience is truly a journey, and it took a village to make it happen! TaRanda comments, "I can’t even imagine the countless hours put into this project. I really feel like everyone involved, from the first day in the studio to the last day of mastering, felt this one is special. Each musician put their heart and soul into making it live and breathe. I asked the masterful Wayne Haun to oversee the production of the CD, but I wanted to treat each song as a unique piece, so Wayne and I discussed the treatment of each one. In the end, there were seven producers involved - Wayne Haun, Jason Michael Webb, Keith Everette Smith, Virgil Stafford, Jim Hammerly, Carol Cymbala, Bradley Knight and me. Each song came with its individual list of musicians, background singers, instrumentation, and vibe. Every arrangement, every note played and every syllable sung - and the ones that weren’t - were on purpose. Sometimes we’d be in the studio changing the chart as we went along because as I sang along, we’d have another idea to really bring a certain word or chord progression alive. Here we stand, a finished project that was three years in the making . . . but as I look back on it, I think I’ve been in the process preparing for this my entire life. These songs declare that a merciful, loving Savior was bruised for our iniquities, took the stripes upon His back for our healing, died for our transgressions, rose from the grave for our freedom, and will return to take us home where we’ll live with Him completely healed in the presence of Jesus! And OH! How I can hardly wait for the day when the healing comes!" </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A very special moment is included on the project - a new live recording of the classic, "He's Been Faithful,” featuring the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, recorded at the church during one of TaRanda's appearances. "When I was at my lowest and darkest, when I felt like I couldn't sing another note, Jim & Carol Cymbala (Brooklyn Tabernacle's Pastor and Choir Director) put me on a plane, pushed me and told me that God had given me a gift to use to encourage people," TaRanda shares. "These two people will never know how much they were used by God to help me heal in my life. There is nothing like singing with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir! I am so excited that this song and moment has been captured forever." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although TaRanda has experienced her share of grief along the way, God always has an amazing way of exchanging beauty for ashes and bringing us through our darkest days into new seasons of joy. Today, she is married to Landon Beene, president of IMC Management and StowTown Records. They have blended their precious families and are a testament to the power of God’s love and grace. TaRanda is more inspired than ever to share the restorative grace – the healing power of HIS LOVE – with the world. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">MARCH 23, 2018 (Nashville, TN) – A project that has been in the making for over 100 years is finally available today. StowTown Records is excited to announce a historic project, Fanny Crosby: Newly Discovered Hymns & Songs. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ms. Crosby is an iconic part of the fabric of faith in America, penning over 8,000 hymns and gospel songs. These classics of the church include "Blessed Assurance," "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour," "I Am Thine, O Lord," "Tell Me the Story of Jesus," among others. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, a treasure trove of unfinished and unpublished works was found by Stephen Kelley (associate producer) at Wheaton College. This discovery gave Wayne Haun (producer/StowTown co-owner) an idea - to finish these lyrics with some of today's top writers and give life to these songs with performances by 15 of today's top artists in inspirational, bluegrass and gospel music. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"This is a project that comes along only once in a career," states co-producer Wayne Haun. "To comb through these unfinished works that were started over 100 years ago is humbling. Each writer carefully composed additional verses, choruses, and melodies that remained true to the Crosby style. She was truly one of America's greatest treasures." </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along with Crosby, additional writers on this project include Lee Black, Jim Brady, Melissa Brady, Jeff Bumgardner, Carolyn Cross, Val Dacus, Randall Garland, Wayne Haun, Marcia Henry, Scott Inman, Joel Lindsey, Tim Lovelace, Rachel McCutcheon, Don Poythress, Sue C. Smith, Dianne Wilkinson and Tony Wood. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Frances Jane Crosby, born March 24, 1820, is a true hero of the faith. Despite being blind since infancy, she never felt inhibited by her inability to see. It is evident that God’s hand was on her life, with her compositions being printed more than 100 million times. Also known for her teaching and rescue work, Crosby is credited with helping The Bowery Mission in NYC in the early years of its operation. Crosby's piano - which is featured on the cover artwork - is housed at The Bowery Mission, where her legacy lives on daily as they care for the homeless and underprivileged in NYC. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Fanny Crosby: Newly Discovered Hymns & Songs</em> is available at your local Christian retailer and on iTunes, Amazon and other digital outlets as well as Christian Book Distributors <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.christianbook.com/various-artists/fanny-crosby-newly-discovered-hymns-songs/pd/CD43618?product_redirect=1&Ntt=CD43618&item_code=WW&Ntk=keywords&event=ESRCP" target="_blank">here</a>. </p>

<p>This labor of love has been a two-year process, and group founder and tenor, <strong>Ernie Haase,</strong> is thrilled with the result. “When we started writing and recording songs for the new <em><strong>Clear Skies </strong></em>CD, we asked the Lord to give us (EHSS) a clear vision about the material for the project – and He did,” recalled Ernie. “The songs on this recording are easy on the ears, but lyrically deep and heavy on the heart. This is the most personal project that I have ever been a part of in my 30 years of ministry. We hope you are blessed by this offering.” </p>
<p>The highly-anticipated release features inspirational and encouraging themes set to out-of-the-box musical moments and masterful production. This release delivers a cornucopia of musical styles and themes from the modern "My Hallelujah" to the 1975 Imperials classic arrangement of "Give Them All to Jesus" to the fresh and appealing "Sailing With Jesus." </p>
<p>This recording is already resonating with listeners and exceeding expectations – the first single, "Give Me Jesus," hit #2 on the national radio charts, while the concept video has exceeded half a million views across social media. The second single, "Clear Skies," has just been released to radio and is being well-received. </p>
<p>Ernie Haase & Signature Sound kicked off their <em><strong>Give Me Jesus Tour </strong></em>in support of <em><strong>Clear Skies</strong></em>. In concert, fans are finding intimate connections with the lyrics and the time of worship has been incredible. If this is any indicator, 2018 is bound to be a sunny year for EHSS. </p>

(Jan. 16, 2018) </strong>---- Comedian/Musician, Tim Lovelace, has concluded a very successful 2017 that included the composition of his first Christmas musical, <em>Miracle in a Manger. </em>The project is a joint venture with Lifeway Worship and Daywind Music Publishing, along with arrangements and orchestrations by Dove Award winners Cliff Duren, Camp Kirkland and Phil Nitz. The musical was performed at churches across the country in December and received tremendous responses, where several churches invited Tim to join the choir performances either playing piano or narrating the musical. </p>
<p>"Although I have been writing for many years, this was my first time to write a Christmas musical,” said Lovelace. “I loved the entire process and am very grateful to Rick Shelton and my talented co-writers. Many thanks to the churches around the country that performed Miracle in a Manger during the 2017 Christmas season. I am also excited to be hearing from churches that are planning to do the musical in the 2018 Christmas season.” </p>
<p>Rick Shelton, Vice President of Music Publishing at Daywind Music Group shares, “Tim Lovelace has created a wonderful Christmas experience with stirring songs that share the miracle of God taking His first breath as a baby born in a humble manger. During the recent season, churches from coast-to-coast presented <em>Miracle in a Manger</em> and felt the joy and hope in the message that Jesus not only entered the world but longs to enter our hearts. We are excited that a growing number of choirs will offer Tim’s debut musical, <em>Miracle in a Manger,</em> to their communities in 2018. This one is special. You won’t want to miss it.” </p>
<p>There were additional milestones for Lovelace last year that started with signing with StowTown Records. The label released his first project, <em>Living in a Coffee World</em>, in August, which resulted in a No. 16 debut on Billboard’s Comedy chart. The DVD/CD was taped at a live performance at Lee University in Tenn., and provided listeners a front row seat to his unique brand of humor that has kept people around the world laughing for three decades. Lovelace performed these family-favorite routines on WSM-AM radio in Nashville, Tenn., for the staff of Country Aircheck, and recorded them as video vignettes for CCM Magazine. He also made concert appearances with such high-profile artists as the Oak Ridge Boys, Josh Turner, High Valley, Bill Anderson, Jimmy Fortune. Lovelace also had cover features with Singing News Magazine and Faith Filled Family Magazine. </p>
<p>Following such a successful 2017, Lovelace will continue his career’s momentum this year. Already he has scheduled “Living in a Coffee World Tour” concert dates all across North America.

Within two weeks, TaRanda celebrated 20 years as a performing artist, performed at Carnegie Hall and had a whirlwind trip to Sweden to kick off her 2017 Christmas Tour. <br>“It’s been a winding road that led to year 20,” TaRanda reflects. “But through it all, there’s no place I’d rather be today than where I am, singing lyrics that mean so much to me, singing them from my heart and sharing the love of Jesus with everyone I have the opportunity to meet. Thank God for Jesus. Thank God I get to do what I love. I’m so grateful.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Year 20 started with a standing ovation at Carnegie Hall. TaRanda performed alongside singing group <strong>Point of Grace</strong>, fellow StowTown artist <strong>Charles Billingsley</strong> and a 300-voice choir at the <strong>7th Annual Christmas in New York</strong> concert on Nov. 20. For TaRanda, it was a dream come true. “When studying classical voice as a teenager, it was always a dream to “practice, practice, practice ...” in order to get to Carnegie Hall. It was a bucket list for me since I was 14 years old.” Greene continued, “How amazing is God that not only did I get to sing on that revered stage, but I got to sing the gospel story!! Now THAT’S a dream that came true. I’m so honored to have been there.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Event host and conductor, <strong>Phil Barfoot</strong>, commented on how TaRanda’s performance enhanced the incredible night of worship and celebration. “This was TaRanda’s first concert with us. She rocked the house with her powerful voice and energetic personality and drew the audience right into the presence of God!” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This event is being commemorated by an exclusive giveaway through <strong>Singing News Radio</strong>, a division of <strong>Salem Media Group</strong>. In celebration of this performance, Singing News Radio and StowTown Records are giving away a special prize pack which includes an autographed Playbill, along with copies of both TaRanda’s and Charles’ Christmas CDs.

<p style="text-align: justify;">After celebrating Thanksgiving, TaRanda set out for <strong>Sweden</strong> where she celebrated Christmas with friends in Jönköping and Götenburg. She was backed by a 200-voice choir, the <strong>Sjung Gospel Choir</strong>, and they performed three sold-out programs in those two days. While the trip was quick, the memories linger. “I’ve grown to love the people in Sweden. There’s an unassuming grace they carry, and they are so warm and kind. And my goodness, they SING! What a great way to start off my Christmas concerts this year. Carnegie Hall, Sweden, Lynchburg, Brooklyn - sounds like Christmas to me!” </p>

Both <a contents="projects" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.imcconcerts.com/store.php" target="_blank">projects</a> release <strong>Oct. 20 </strong>and are sure to become classics. </p>
<p>After decades of chart-topping gospel hits, <strong>The Perrys </strong>are adding a Christmas project to their impressive treasury of recordings. Aptly titled, <em><strong>A Very Perry Christmas</strong></em> will take listeners to Christmases past with classic arrangements of familiar tunes, from the tender “Silver and Gold” to the joyous favorite, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” as well as a stirring rendition of “O Holy Night.” </p>
<p>“This is a very special project for The Perrys, as it is our very first Christmas project in 46 years,” shared <strong>Libbi Perry Stuffle.</strong> “This project is also a remembrance of the day The Perrys first sang together: December 25, 1970. That Christmas Day wasn’t very joyous, as it was just months after the death of our older brother Johnny. But our church family came over and gathered with us around the piano to sing hymns and carols. That day turned us from our grief to our gift of music, and Christmas has been very special to our family ever since.” </p>
<p>Libbi continued, “Wayne Haun, our producer, has worked with us for years. He knew our story and of my love for all things Christmas. We told him we wanted this project to sound vintage – like all of those vinyls we grew up listening to. He truly went above and beyond in bringing out the best in all of us for <em>A Very Perry Christmas.</em>” </p>
<p>Like The Perrys, <strong>Doug Anderson</strong> is making the holidays brighter with the release of his first solo Christmas project, <em><strong>Back Porch Christmas.</strong></em> The holiday season is fully embraced on this new release with the classic “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and several original selections, such as the fun-filled title cut, “Back Porch Christmas.” This collection also includes “The Manger and The Cross,” a brand new composition from Gloria and Benjy Gaither. </p>
<p>“When we started choosing songs for this Christmas project, I wanted to stick with the ‘back porch’ theme. Many times, my friends will come over and we’ll sit and play music on my back porch until the wee hours of the morning. The song “Back Porch Christmas” reflects how we do Christmastime around our house,” Doug added. “As always, I am grateful to have songs by a great team of writers, including Gloria Gaither, Benjy Gaither, Joel Lindsey, Wayne Haun, and Jeff Bumgardner,” Anderson said. </p>
<p>Anderson, who is excited to hit the road soon on his fully-booked Christmas tour shared, “I cherish this time when we gather with family and friends to celebrate the birth of our Savior.” Family and friends are even included in this recording, as Doug’s cousin Chase McDaniel and his country quartet, <strong>4th + Main,</strong> provide the background vocals throughout the recording. </p>
<p>Both projects were arranged and produced by award-winning producer <strong>Wayne Haun.</strong> Haun, co-founder and co-owner of StowTown Records, knows that these recordings are special. “I absolutely love the diversity of each of these Christmas projects. They stir up Christmas memories in different ways. Back Porch Christmas takes me back to classic country Christmas albums like the ones by Alabama, Kenny Rogers and Brenda Lee. While several of the songs are originals, they are instantly familiar and easy to sing along with. On the other hand, <em>A Very Perry Christmas </em>is reminiscent of vintage Christmas albums like those from The Ray Conniff Singers, Burl Ives and Bing Crosby. These familiar traditional songs are complemented by a children’s choir, an adult choir and a full orchestra. Everyone who hears these projects will love each of them for different reasons.” </p>
<p>These special seasonal StowTown releases will be distributed by <strong>Sony/Provident </strong>at retail and digital outlets worldwide. </p>

<p><strong>ABOUT DOUG ANDERSON: </strong><br>Doug Anderson was a basketball player at Purdue University for two years when he found his other love: music. He’d always sung with his family and at church, but never imagined he would end up traveling the world as a gospel music performer. After touring with local groups, Doug was tapped by Ernie Haase to begin a new quartet: Ernie Haase and Signature Sound (EHSS). With EHSS, Doug was a part of nine years of Gaither Homecoming Tours, multiple award-winning songs, CDs and videos, and he traveled the world several times! In 2015, Doug felt the pull back home to focus more on his family and a solo career. Doug has been honored by GMA Dove Award® wins, including Country Album of the Year twice and Country Song of the Year as well as several nominations for Album of the Year (with EHSS), Male Vocalist of the Year and Country Song of the Year. Currently, Doug continues to tour as a solo artist, as well as performing a limited number of engagements as a member of the popular powerhouse vocal trio Cana’s Voice (with Jody McBrayer and TaRanda Greene). His rich voice, warm personality and heart for the lost make Doug Anderson a stand-out gospel music performer. <br><br><strong>LINKS: </strong><br><a contents="www.facebook.com/DougAndersonMusic/&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.facebook.com/DougAndersonMusic/" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/DougAndersonMusic/ </a><br><a contents="www.twitter.com/DougAnderson34&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.twitter.com/DougAnderson34" target="_blank">www.twitter.com/DougAnderson34 </a><br><a contents="www.instagram.com/douganderson34/" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.instagram.com/douganderson34/" target="_blank">www.instagram.com/douganderson34/</a></p>

The CD and DVD are <a contents="AVAILABLE NOW." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://timlovelace.com/product/living-in-a-coffee-world-cd-dvd-combo/" target="_blank"><strong>AVAILABLE NOW.</strong></a> His release party was held in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., during NQC where Tim served as co-host for several events throughout the week. Fans and friends stopped by to congratulate Tim on his debut with StowTown Records, including friend and label mate, <strong>Ernie Haase,</strong> who is also one of the founders and owners of StowTown. While in the Knoxville area, Lovelace popped in for coffee and a few minutes of friendly banter at a local retail store. </p>
<p>“Humor is present across all forms of entertainment,” remarks <strong>Nate Goble,</strong> StowTown co-owner. “Movies, books, music, theater and even rodeos have their clowns. Unfortunately, a lot of the comedy is not family-friendly. We (StowTown) see a huge need for family-friendly comedy. Tim Lovelace offers that in abundance.” </p>
<p>After resting his voice for a day or so, Tim arrived in Nashville where he appeared on the morning radio show <strong>“Coffee, Country & Cody”</strong> with host <strong>Bill Cody </strong>and producer <strong>Charlie Mattos </strong>on the legendary <strong>WSM, home of the Grand Ole Opry.</strong> They discussed their shared love of coffee and told stories about growing up in the South. Tim performed “The Coffee Song” and “What Happened to Tomatoes?” in studio during his hour-long segment. The conversation also included Tim’s “Black Belt to Black Eye” and an honest, serious discussion about bullying. As the childhood victim of bullying, Tim uses his platform to address this timely issue. </p>
<p>“I am thrilled with the response we are experiencing with the release of my new StowTown project,” Tim says. “I feel very blessed not only for the opportunity to present comedy through stories and songs, but also to share my heart on topics such as bullying. Through all the busyness of promoting this project, I am having a lot of fun. If I appear to be more jittery than normal, it’s because I really am <em>Living in a Coffee World.</em>” </p>
<p>Distributed by <strong>Sony/Provident,</strong> <em>Living in a Coffee World </em>CD & DVD are both available at retail outlets worldwide. The CD is also available through <a contents="iTunes" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/living-in-a-coffee-world/id1289447533?app=itunes" target="_blank"><strong>iTunes</strong></a> and other digital media sources. </p>

He soaked in the sights and sounds in various cities in which he performed, including Arendale, Kvinlog, Lyngdale, Moi, Flekkejord, Stavanger and Haugesund. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anderson was honored to end his time abroad performing for three nights at the largest Swedish music festival, <strong>Skjaergards Sing.</strong> Appearing alongside other artists including <strong>Bill Maxwell, Fletch Wiley, Russ Taff and the Oslo Gospel Choir,</strong> Doug was blessed to be singing with a live band in front of over 3,000 people each night. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Performing in front of the Norwegian and Swedish crowds with a live band was one of my career highlights,” Doug reflects. “Their love for Jesus is overwhelming and inspiring.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anderson was well received by both music fans and festival staff alike. Skjaergards Sing promoter <strong>Morten Skjaevestad </strong>exclaimed, “Doug Anderson delighted our crowds with his music, his energy and his smile.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“They were so kind and really embraced me and the message I had to bring,” Doug said. “I will never forget them and hope to do it again sometime.”</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63792962017-09-28T08:00:00-04:002020-07-07T21:32:52-04:00(September 28, 2017) - StowTown Artists Honored by Fans at Singing News Fan Awards Show<p><strong>Nashville, TN (September 28, 2017) </strong>– The fans have spoken and the winners have been announced at the annual <strong>Singing News Fan Awards </strong>in Pigeon Forge, TN. Three StowTown artists were honored with wins in various categories. <strong>Triumphant</strong> led with three wins for Favorite Traditional Quartet, Favorite Song for “Living in the Promised Land” and Favorite Bass Singer for Eric Bennett. “It is truly an honor to have those you sing in front of throughout the year write your name down or circle your name on a ballot,” said group member <strong>Scotty Inman.</strong> “We are blown away and grateful for their continued support and confidence in our ministry." </p>
<p><strong>The Collingsworth Family </strong>was honored by fans as Favorite Mixed Group, and <strong>Kim Collingsworth </strong>was voted Favorite Musician. "Both The Collingsworth Family as a group and Kim Collingsworth as a musician are honored and humbled by the awards bestowed on us today by the subscribers of the Singing News,” group patriarch <strong>Phil Collingsworth </strong>stated. “Awards are not our motivation for doing what we do, but are like a surprise hot fudge sundae, with whipped cream and a cherry on top! We are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for the song He puts in our hearts and are certainly enjoying the assignment He has given us in His great big Kingdom. Thank you so much for the love poured out on our family. We LOVE you directly in return." </p>
<p>Favorite New Artist award was presented to trio <strong>Cana’s Voice.</strong> Cana’s Voice is comprised of artists <strong>TaRanda Greene, Jody McBrayer and Doug Anderson</strong>. Collectively, they wrote, “We were able to attend the Singing News Fan Awards with the intent to support our friends and colleagues in the Southern Gospel Industry, but it turned out we were honored with the support and favor to be voted New Artist of the Year! We realize that our music is not traditional southern gospel, so to have the support of the southern gospel industry is overwhelming and very appreciated!" </p>
<p>While StowTown artists have been honored by industry professionals, these awards are unique in that they are voted on entirely by fans. StowTown owner <strong>Landon Beene </strong>summed it up, "I'm thrilled with the results of the Singing News Fan Awards and couldn't be more proud of our artists. Our company takes pride in pushing our artists to be forward thinking in their lyric content, imaging and, most importantly, to be intentional in their overall spiritual goals for this music ministry. The results speak clearly that the fans are ready for this progression. The fans have voted and responded with favor to the artists of StowTown Records!"</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63792992017-09-18T08:00:00-04:002020-07-07T21:40:47-04:00(September 18, 2017) - The Collingsworth Family Releases Landmark DVD Project<p><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/045931838267974b75c8ef25481e3d303e39f01f/original/cwf-that-day-is-coming-dvd.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" style="margin-right: 15px;" />Nashville, TN (September 18, 2017) - StowTown Records </strong>is pleased to announce the brand new DVD release from <strong>The Collingsworth Family. <em>That Day Is Coming</em></strong><em> </em>released on Sept. 15 and is distributed worldwide by Sony/Provident Distribution. </p>
<p>The multi-award winning family group was thrilled to put together this very special project. It was recorded live in front of a sold-out audience at <strong>First Wesleyan Church in High Point, NC</strong>, with a live band and members of the <strong>Greensboro Symphony Orchestra.</strong> </p>
<p>"The <strong><em>That Day is Coming </em></strong>video was, by far, our most complex and challenging project to date. However, it is the one we are most happy with the end results," said <strong>Phil Collingsworth.</strong> "With great effort comes great satisfaction when you how the results of hundreds of hours of labor in your hands." </p>
<p>The Collingsworth Family performs all 13 powerful songs from their current StowTown album, including “That Day is Coming,” “Ever Faithful” and “When He Carries Me Away.” </p>
<p>“Having a full orchestra and band performing every song with you in front of a sold-out audience requires a great deal of prep-time and structuring. Then we spend time bathing it all with tons of prayer,” added Phil. “The night went so incredibly smooth, and we attribute that to the many, many people all over the country who were watching via the livestream and praying for us right at the same time. We were able to capture the emotion of the room on film and add in so many great behind-the-scenes interviews, which made the songs literally come to life.” </p>
<p>In addition to album features, they also performed hits such as, "Show a Little Bit of Love and Kindness," "Keep On the Firing Line" and "Hallelujah Chorus". </p>
<p>“Of all the projects we've released in the 18 years we have been on the road, this one best portrays the heart of the Collingsworth Family and our passion for ministry!” Phil concluded. “We certainly hope you catch the glimpses of Jesus through the viewing of the DVD. It was our goal to lift Him up, so people would be drawn to The Master."</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63793052017-09-12T08:00:00-04:002020-07-07T21:45:46-04:00(September 12, 2017) - New Series Available from StowTown Records<p><strong>Nashville, TN (September 12, 2017) - StowTown Records </strong>is pleased to announce the beginning of a very special <em><strong>StowTown Records Vault Series.</strong></em> The brand new series opens with one of the most popular quartets in the history of gospel music, <strong>The Cathedrals.</strong> </p>
<p>"The fans of The Cathedrals have been asking us to re-release projects that have been out-of-print for years, including all of the videos that were only on VHS,” said <strong>Ernie Haase,</strong> former tenor of the fan-favorite quartet. “The <em>StowTown Records Vault Series </em>is taking advantage of my unique relationship with the Younce/Payne families to bring the fans what they want. Keeping the legacy of George and Glen alive and available to a new generation seems right and fitting.” </p>
<p>“Our first endeavor will be the September 8 re-release of <em><strong>Radio Days </strong></em>on CD and <em><strong>Deep In The Heart Of Texas </strong></em>on DVD,” added Haase. “On that special night in Dallas, Texas, we performed most of the songs that were on the Radio Days CD live at Prestonwood Baptist Church. The art form of four-part southern gospel singing, accompanied by just a piano and bass guitar, along with George's amazing down-to-earth emcee work, makes Deep In The Heart Of Texas one of the MUST-HAVE videos for any Cathedrals fan, whether young or old!" </p>
<p>The StowTown Records Vault Series projects are available online and at Christian bookstores and outlets worldwide.</p>

<p><strong>Triumphant’s</strong> song <strong>“Chain Breaker”</strong> is the first release from their <em><strong>Thankful</strong></em> project, which released earlier this year. After entering the charts in June, the song shot up the Southern Gospel chart over the summer. News that it is number one for October came in last week. <strong>Triumphant’s David Sutton </strong>expressed how this song has encouraged fans, “Since singing ‘Chain Breaker’ night after night, people are sharing with us how much the song has encouraged them and given them hope. We serve a risen Savior who can break the chains of past sins or any sin we will ever face. Jesus Christ is the ultimate chain breaker!” </p>
<p><strong>StowTown Records’ Director of Music Promotions, Kim Pennington</strong>, echoed these sentiments. “When 'Chain Breaker' released in March, DJs immediately reported heavy airplay due to positive listener feedback, and those reports never stopped coming in. Multiple social media posts confirmed radio feedback, as fans across the country commented on the song's ability to impact lives across generational lines.” </p>
<p>Meanwhile, label mate <strong>Southern Raised </strong>is celebrating their first #1 Bluegrass song, “<strong>Instead</strong>.” From the project <em><strong>Another World,</strong></em> this song was penned by <strong>group member Emily Reith </strong>and veteran songwriters <strong>Wayne Haun </strong>and<strong> Jeff Bumgardner,</strong> and steadily climbed up the chart after its release in March. “‘Instead’ and its straightforward message about Christ's substitute payment for our sins on the cross resonated with listeners,” Pennington stated. “We received strong, positive feedback on that song from DJs and are grateful they believed in it just as much as we did.” </p>
<p><strong>Southern Raised member Lindsay Reith </strong>exclaimed, “We are exceedingly grateful to God for blessing this song! It thrills our hearts to see it ministering to lives, as we realize that God does not give us what we deserve, but ‘Instead,’ mercy and grace. Thank you to radio for supporting our music. This song is extra special as our own Emily co-wrote this number for the new project! We appreciate all for the love and support!” </p>
<p>Kim feels blessed to have such great artists and songs on the StowTown label. “It is our privilege to work with Triumphant Quartet and Southern Raised, two talented groups who have the ability to fulfill this label’s goal of producing quality Christian music.”</p>

(Sept. 5, 2017) ---- Tim Lovelace will bring his multi-talents to the forefront with his new DVD/CD combo for StowTown Records, <em>Living In A Coffee World,</em> that releases Sept. 29. The project will showcase Lovelace’s comedy, musicianship, award-winning songwriting talent and his motivational speaking skills, which will provide great entertainment for the whole family. Recorded at a live performance at Lee University in Tenn., the project gives the listener a front row seat to the comedian’s unique brand of humor that has kept people around the world laughing and inspired for three decades. Distributed through Sony/Provident Distribution, the project will be available at all retail and digital outlets. </p>
<p>Tim shares his enthusiasm about the project, “I'm overjoyed to have completed my first project with Stowtown Records. They have given me an abundance of creative freedom. I can be my zany self, play different instruments and still share my heart. I hope this project brings laughter to many. I think we can all agree, now more than ever, that we need joy in our lives.” </p>
<p>Nate Goble of StowTown Records explains, “When planning for this project, we wanted to showcase Tim’s talents as a comedian, musician, and songwriter, while also showing depth as a caring, thoughtful, intellectual artist.” Those points are all achieved in this project. </p>
<p><em>Living In A Coffee World </em>features eleven new musical comedy songs/routines, including the title track which delivers a humorous look at our coffee addictions by sharing what happens when Tim drinks a “freight train espresso.” Other highlights are “What Happened to Tomatoes,” which spotlights how the flavor of the garden tomato has turned into wet cardboard and “Some Assembly Required” that has parents up all night on Christmas Eve trying to decipher an instruction booklet. The lively “Mercurochrome” tells about how the burning medicine used to be a cure-all for youngsters. </p>
<p>The humorous “Black Belt to Black Eye/Anti Bullying Talk” has a serious underlying message from Lovelace who, as a youngster, was the victim of bullying. The audience might be laughing, but the message hits home on what the impact can be for a young person facing this abuse. Even though Lovelace has achieved great success throughout his career, hosting The Music City Show, performing with such high-profile acts as the Oak Ridge Boys and appearing on the stage of such iconic venues as the Ryman Auditorium, the scars from bullying never completely go away. As a result, Lovelace hopes to bring this problem to the forefront and expand his role as a spokesman for this topic throughout his career. </p>
<p>Lovelace will be touring this fall to promote Living In A Coffee World with dates that cover Oregon, Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Indiana.

This month, Trey began his new role as Staff Pianist and Arranger/Orchestrator. </p>
<p>“<strong>First Baptist Indian Trail, NC</strong>, is thrilled to have Trey Ivey join our staff as our Staff Pianist and Arranger/Orchestrator. Trey is one of the finest young musicians in the country, and we look forward to having him on our Music Ministry team,” said <strong>Rev. Sammy Thomas</strong>, <strong>Executive</strong> <strong>Pastor</strong>. “He has great talent and abilities, combined with the heart of a servant. I look forward to seeing God use him here in a great way in the years ahead.” </p>
<p>At 27, Trey already has an impressive resume. In Southern Gospel circles, he is probably best known for the more than six years he spent traveling with <strong>Legacy</strong> <strong>Five</strong> as their pianist. But many fans might not know that Trey is also a permanent member of the Blue Jean Band on the nationally syndicated television hit <em><strong>The Music City Show.</strong></em> Additionally, he has been working these last couple of years as a producer and arranger for various artists. While he intends to continue with these most recent opportunities, Ivey is pleased to settle into this church position at Indian Trail. </p>
<p>“Lauren and I are thrilled about this new opportunity!" said Ivey. “This is a great situation for me to be able to work with a big choir, big band and big orchestra. I am very excited! I still want to work and produce for some of the groups I have been working with up to this point, because I love Southern Gospel,” added Trey. “This church is giving me the flexibility to continue to do that.” </p>
<p>“I've been working with Trey on several productions over the past year, and I'm really looking forward to what the future holds,” said <strong>StowTown Records co-founder Wayne Haun.</strong> “I love the fact that his church staff understands the calling Trey has to help artists with their ministries." </p>
<p>“I have had the privilege to call Trey a friend for several years, and have been continually impressed with his attention to detail, his level of excellence and his heartbeat for music and ministry,” said Dr. <strong>Matthew C. Slemp, Minister of Music</strong>. “Trey will be at the helm of the piano each week while also writing, arranging and creating new and innovative music to enhance our weekly worship experience. We welcome Trey, along with his wife, Lauren, and their beautiful daughter, Emerson, to our church and to the Music Ministry family,” Slemp concluded. </p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mike Whitson, Senior Pastor </strong>at FBC Indian Trail, is equally thrilled with the arrival of such a talented artist who brings so much experience from the gospel music industry. “The addition of Trey Ivey to the ministry team of First Baptist Indian Trail will certainly position us to accomplish our God-given assignment to lead everyone we meet into an everyday walk with Christ. We greatly look forward to serving the Lord together with Trey for many years to come.”</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63822562017-08-15T08:00:00-04:002020-07-10T16:32:07-04:00(August 15, 2017) - The Browns Win Open 4 Business Competition<p><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/c6ae2331dcc6781ae433a68c95bc2e6bed282c61/original/browns.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" style="margin-right: 15px;" />NASHVIL</strong>LE, TN (August 15, 2017) - Popular <strong>StowTown</strong> <strong>Records</strong> artists, <strong>The Browns,</strong> were recently granted a total of $18,000 to purchase new equipment for <strong>The Browns Century Theater </strong>in their hometown of <strong>Le Mars, Iowa. </strong></p>

The Browns were selected as one of five regional winners who won an $8,000 grant, then followed that up with a $10,000 grant at the state level with their second place overall finish. </p>
<p>“We have been overwhelmed at the response to the theater in our hometown where my husband's family has lived for five generations!” said Shelly Brown. “The Browns are committed to being at home in the theater one weekend a month.” </p>
<p>“We still tour the remaining weekends. However, we sing to bus tour groups that we market to and bring in to our theater during the weekdays. We had 32 busloads last year and have more scheduled for this year." </p>

<p>“<strong>Another World </strong>has been a very special project to create. We feel it has dug into our deepest roots and pulled from every aspect of our musical journey and influences,” said Lindsay Reith, the oldest of the fan-favorite sibling quartet from Crane, MO. “In 12 songs, it conveys our hearts through music and our style like never before!” </p>
<p>Southern Raised, a vocal and instrumental group comprised of sisters, Lindsay (bass), Sarah (banjo), and Emily (mandolin and violin), along with their younger brother Matthew (guitar), has received multiple nominations in recent years: Singing News Fan Awards, Diamond Awards, Front Porch Fellowship and SPBGMA Midwest awards, Band of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year and Christian Country Album of the Year. </p>
<p>StowTown Records cofounder, creative director and longtime producer Wayne Haun says of the group, “I haven't heard harmony this tight since The Andrews Sisters. Add Matthew to the mix, and it sounds like Perry Como and The Andrews Sisters singing gospel. It's nostalgic, yet fresh.” </p>
<p>This is the freshman StowTown Records project for the popular gospel bluegrass band since coming aboard last August. </p>
<p>“Our first project with Stowtown Records was such an amazing experience! The level of professionalism and quality was always set at the highest bar,” said Lindsay. “Working with Wayne as producer was so incredible! His creative juices mingling with ours seemed to create a recipe for our hearts and style to flow through every note and fulfill every dream we had for the project. His brilliant musical talent certainly left us inspired! In the words of Einstein, 'Creativity is contagious, pass it on.' Thanks, Wayne, for passing it on." </p>
<p>“We were blessed to come together with other great writers for this CD, and the by-product? We co-wrote over half the project,” noted Lindsay. “We also pulled an old classic that everyone knows and loves, 'I'd Rather Have Jesus,' and we even did a Bing Crosby/Andrews Sisters style song!” Fans will be thrilled to find, by popular request, 'Beethoven's 5th' is also on the album. </p>
<p>Lindsay is a cowriter on the title track, “Another World,” along with Haun and Jeff Bumgardner. She shared, “The inspiration came from a quote I read by C.S. Lewis: 'If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.' Truly God's children have been created for something else, but, while we are here, we want to encourage people to keep pressing on, keep walking, keep serving, and staying true to God and His Word. Be a light and testimony on your journey to another world, and take souls for Christ with you...may God bless you on your way.” </p>
<p>She added, “There is a lot of heart and soul poured into Another World, and we hope and pray it takes the listener closer to God and strengthens their walk.” </p>
<p>Distributed exclusively to retail and digital outlets by Provident-Sony Distribution, Another World is scheduled to release May 5. The StowTown album will be available online and at Christian bookstores and outlets worldwide.</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63822662017-04-26T07:00:00-04:002020-07-10T16:52:41-04:00(April 26, 2017) - The Little Roy and Lizzy Show's "Going Home" -- AVAILABLE NOW!<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/2d39d67971e36d82048729933c71357e63d9f5f1/original/little-roy-lizzy-show-going-home.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" style="margin-right: 15px;" />StowTown Records </strong>is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of <strong>The Little Roy and Lizzy Show's Going Home</strong>.

Kody & Cayla Erwin are pleased to announce the birth of their daughter, Laney Brooke on Sunday, April 9, 2017 at 3:35 PM. Baby Laney came in at a healthy 7 lbs., 11 oz. and 20 1/2" long. The family is resting and enjoying the new addition at home. This is the first child for Kody and Cayla. </p>
<p>"Kayla and I are thankful and praise God for a healthy baby girl," states Kody. "We can't wait for you all to meet her!" </p>
<p><strong>ABOUT THE ERWINS: </strong><br>The Erwins are a true gospel music success story. The family participated in the NQC Talent Shows in 2001, 2005, then sang in Regional Showcases in 2010 and won 'Best of the Week' in 2011. In 2015, they won Favorite New Mixed Group at the Singing News Fan Awards. During their earlier years, the family would sing for anyone who would listen, quite literally anywhere. One evening at Freedom Hall, the young family found themselves in an elevator with Vestal Goodman. Of course, they sang for her. In typical Vestal fashion, after they sang she laid hands on them and prayed over them for God to bless and use them in a mighty way. It's safe to say that God heard that prayer. </p>
<p>The Erwins record for StowTown Records, distributed by Provident Distribution and are based in Edgewood, Texas. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">StowTown is currently celebrating three top rankings in three separate categories on the most recent Nielsen Christian SoundScan charts. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Brooklyn & Courtney, the latest special project by The Collingsworth Family, has quickly risen to the top of the Instrumental category after its release this month. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Talented sisters, Brooklyn and Courtney, put together this long-awaited violin duet album which includes 10 fan-favorite selections such as “At The Cross,” “The Prayer,” “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” and “Let There Be Peace On Earth.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, the popular new trio, Cana's Voice, has earned the top spot again in the Inspirational category with their StowTown debut album, This Changes Everything. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the powerful combination of three beloved vocalists, Jody McBrayer, TaRanda Greene and Doug Anderson, Cana's Voice has sky-rocketed up the charts in recent months with the help of their first radio single, “Jesus Never Fails.” </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To cap off the impressive StowTown trifecta, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, have reached Number 1 in the Southern Gospel category with their recent project, The Favorite Hymns of Fanny Crosby. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dedicated to one of the greatest hymnists in American history, the fan-favorite quartet released this album in honor of Crosby's unlimited contributions and dedication to gospel music. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well-known hymns such as “Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross,” “Blessed Assurance,” “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior” and “Tell Me The Story Of Jesus” are each included among all these special selections. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"We spend hundreds of hours finding material, arranging it, recording it, mixing it and distributing it," said StowTown Records co-founder, creative director and longtime producer Wayne Haun. "When we see our hard work reflected on the charts, it's a reminder that what we do matters. These songs encourage and change lives!" </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">StowTown President Landon Beene adds, "I couldn't be more proud of our artists at StowTown Records, as well as our entire team. We have worked intensely this year to provide our artists a solid team to support them in marketing and radio. When you see a surge of sales like this on Nielsen SoundScan reports, not for one artist, but several, it can only mean that our efforts as a company are working!" </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">StowTown amassed a total of six albums in the most recent Overall Top 100 Billboard Chart, including Only Faith Can See by The Erwins. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These popular projects are each exclusively distributed by Provident-Sony Distribution and available in Christian bookstores and digital outlets worldwide.</p>StowTown Recordstag:stowtownrecords.com,2005:Post/63823432017-01-19T08:30:00-05:002020-07-10T17:16:53-04:00(January 19, 2017) - Brooklyn & Courtney Project Release<p><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/495039/01a86597c93e7d127a115e1a219fd5e74edeed00/original/cwf-brooklyn-courtney.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" style="margin-right: 15px;" />The Collingsworth Family</strong> and <strong>StowTown</strong> <strong>Records</strong> are proud to present the powerhouse gospel group's first-ever violin duet album, aptly titled <strong>Brooklyn & Courtney. </strong></p>
<p>After touring for 17 years, Brooklyn and Courtney have put together this very special project with many of the favorite classics they've performed live over the years. </p>
<p>"After years of requests, we are proud to finally be releasing our first violin duet CD! It felt like I had gone back to grade school with the hours of violin rehearsal Brooklyn and I put into this album,” said Courtney. “I'm so excited for our friends to hear what we have been working on for months. We hope you enjoy!" </p>
<p>In addition to several brand new arrangements, the girls join members of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra in an emotional version of “You Raise Me Up,” as well as branching out into some fast-paced fiddling with “Keep On The Firing Line.” </p>
<p>Also included in these 10 special selections are fan-favorites “At The Cross,” “The Prayer,” “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” and “Let There Be Peace On Earth.” </p>
<p>"This project will go on record for me as the hardest and most time-consuming I've ever attempted, yet also the most rewarding to complete,” added Brooklyn. “We have had countless requests for an exclusively violin recording, and we have heard you and have done our best, with God's help. Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy." </p>
<p>Arranged, produced and accompanied by Kim Collingsworth, with tracking and orchestrations by StowTown co-founder Wayne Haun, this new CD from The Collingsworth Family is sure to touch the heart in a very special way. </p>
