GRAMMY® Nominated Matt Hammitt Surprises Audiences With "United Again" Single Release On Inauguration Day

January 20, 2017

Debuting alongside FCM Records, "United Again" lyric video available now

Nashville, Tenn. (Jan. 20, 2017) - Addressing the current state of division among the nation, GRAMMY® nominated Matt Hammitt debuts the lyric video for single "United Again" (FCM Records, Seth Mosley), encouraging communities to find strength and unity among God. Amid protests and demonstrations on Inauguration Day, the song serves as an anthem for the Church, unifying those who feel disheartened by the present political climate.

“Today, it seems there's only one thing that most Americans can agree on; that our nation is divided, shares Hammitt. "Many are asking the questions about how, or even if, our country can heal. A long list leaders have claimed that they would bring us together, bring us hope, but no president or administration has the power to do that. On this inauguration day, I'll say a prayer for our president. He has been given a task greater than any man can bear on his own. I’ve also decided to share a song of hope, because I still believe that the gospel and love of Jesus Christ holds the power to heal and transform our lives and our nation.”

Matt Hammitt And Family Celebrate Milestone Fifth Birthday Of Son Bowen

September 9, 2015

The Hammitt Family's Whole Hearts Foundation continues work in serving children battling life-threatening heart conditions

Nashville, Tenn. (Sept. 9, 2015) - Matt Hammitt, frontman for the GRAMMY® nominated band Sanctus Real, and his family are celebrating the fifth birthday of their son Bowen, a survivor of the critical and rare heart disease Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). This milestone in Bowen’s life comes with great joy, as the Hammitts were told before his birth that thirty percent of children diagnosed with HLHS don't reach their fifth birthday. Bowen is headed to Walt Disney World to mark the big occasion, where the Hammitts' foundation, Whole Hearts, will be a sponsor of the Christian Music Broadcasters Convention. To view a message from the Hammitt family commemorating this very special day, click here.

"It seems like just yesterday when Bowen was born, when so many friends and strangers opened up their hearts to our son," shares Hammitt. "We are eternally grateful, not only for this milestone birthday, but also for every person and prayer that uplifted our family through a very difficult season. And now through Whole Hearts Foundation, we are blessed to pass on that same love and support to other families in need."

Hammitt and his wife share more about Bowen’s journey in a recent and deeply personal episode of "The Lead Me Lifecast” (click here to listen). The podcast is a series of personal and spiritual journals, along with vulnerable conversations about topics related to faith, family, marriage and manhood, produced and hosted by Hammitt.

Upon diagnosis in 2010, hundreds of media outlets and radio stations nationwide joined the Hammitts in praying for their infant son's condition. With grateful hearts, the Hammitts launched the Whole Hearts Foundation to meet the practical, financial, emotional and spiritual needs of families with children suffering from congenital heart disease.
