TOBYMAC ANNOUNCES

THE ST. NEMELE COLLAB SESSIONS

7x GRAMMY-Winner Reinvents Songs from Latest Smash LP, THE ELEMENTS with the help of Bart Millard (MercyMe), Crowder, Cory Asbury, Jordan Feliz, Matt Maher, LEDGER and more

TobyMac Earns Four GMA Dove Award Nominations

Nashville, TN (August 19, 2019) - As he treats fans to his acclaimed live show on the summer festival circuit, 7x GRAMMY-winner TobyMac has also announced his latest project, The St. Nemele Collab Sessions. Available August 23 across all DSPs and physically on September 27, the LP features fan favorites including his latest RIAA Gold Certified single “I just need U.,” “Everything” & “The Elements.”

Multiple producers and artists joined TobyMac to reinvent songs from his latest smash LP The Elements. The eclectic group of guest artists includes Bart Millard (of MercyMe), Crowder, Cory Asbury, Jordan Feliz, Matt Maher & Terrian, LEDGER, Jonathan McReynolds, Aaron Cole, Sarah Reeves and Cochran & Co.

The St. Nemele Collab Sessions is capped off with a never before released track from the multi-platinum artist, “Heart Of My Beat.”

"The St. Nemele Sessions took these songs somewhere else," remarked TobyMac. "I’ve wanted to do a collab record since the beginning of my solo artistry. I came up producing and writing DcTalk songs so I was used to having a vocal arsenal at my fingertips, which I think keeps songs interesting. This is a dream lineup of guest artists and each bring their own vocal uniqueness to the remixes of The Elements. The power of collaboration is undeniable and reminds me that there is purpose in our diversity. There’s nothing better than guest artists taking songs to new heights, and remixers putting their own creative spin on songs that are part of my heart and soul."

Also available this September 27, TobyMac's 10 track collection of holiday tunes Light of Christmas will be available physically for the first time since its digital debut in 2017. Light Of Christmas includes the infectious “Can’t Wait for Christmas” featuring Relient K, and essential seasonal radio single “Bring On The Holidays" along with fun songs from his 2011 Christmas in Diverse City release, which featured Owl City, Leigh Nash and more.

& Christian Charts,

No. 3 Billboard Top Current Album Chart

Multi-Platinum Rockers Launch

VICTORIOUS WAR Tour in Memphis

Marvel Welcomes Skillet to This Week in Marvel Podcast

Nashville, TN (Aug.12, 2019) - Multi-platinum and GRAMMY-nominated rockers Skillet are celebrating the No. 1 debut on both the Top Rock and Christian SoundScan charts of their latest critically-acclaimed LP, VICTORIOUS. The album also entered at No. 3 on Billboard's Top Current Album chart, and Top 20 at No. 17 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Of note, the sales for VICTORIOUS were garnered without using a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer, something quite common with many top selling albums today. Sales were achieved by traditional album sales through retailers including Walmart, as well as streaming and webstores like Spotify, Amazon and iTunes.

Skillet hit the road for two co-headlining U.S. fall tours this weekend in Memphis, kicking off their VICTORIOUS WAR tour this past Sunday with Sevendust (featuring Pop Evil). A 21-city trek with Alter Bridge will begin September 22 in Baltimore. November 6 marks a European headlining jaunt through the remainder of the year, much of which is already sold out, including stops in London, Paris, Hamburg and Budapest.

Marvel recently welcomed Skillet as a guest on their This Week in Marvel Podcast, and in line with such, also coming this fall, front man John Cooper recently collaborated with Z2 Comics for “Eden: A Skillet Graphic Novel” unveiling late August, which also features the bonus song "Dreaming of Eden" with purchase.

About Skillet:
One of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum Wisconsin quartet Skillet—John Cooper [lead vocals/bass], Korey Cooper [guitar/keys], Jen Ledger [drums/vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]—write the soundtrack to triumph. An undying spirit humbly asserted and affirmed the band as one of this generation’s most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, they not only garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods and sold over 12 million albums worldwide, but they also took home a Billboard Music Award for the double-platinum Awake. Its breakout single “Monster” remains “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with 285 Million global audio streams. 2016’s Unleashed bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. Going #1 on Rock Radio, the lead single “Feel Invincible” cracked 150 million global audio streams and went platinum. Meanwhile, the gold-certified Unleashed became their fourth consecutive album to receive either a gold, platinum, or double-platinum. To date, nine original tunes earned RIAA recognition in tandem with high-profile syncs by everyone from WWE and Marvel to ESPN and NFL. Between selling out arenas on four continents, the group performed on CONAN and graced the pages of USA Today and New York Times, to name a few. In 2018 alone, the band clocked 1 billion streams. This momentum continues on their 2019 tenth full-length, Victorious. With the bulk produced by Korey and John, it lives up to its name for Skillet as their most triumphant body of work yet.

About Skillet:
One of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum Wisconsin quartet Skillet—John Cooper [lead vocals/bass], Korey Cooper [guitar/keys], Jen Ledger [drums/vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]—write the soundtrack to triumph. An undying spirit humbly asserted and affirmed the band as one of this generation’s most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, they not only garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods and sold over 12 million albums worldwide, but they also took home a Billboard Music Award for the double-platinum Awake. Its breakout single “Monster” remains “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with 285 Million global audio streams. 2016’s Unleashed bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. Going #1 on Rock Radio, the lead single “Feel Invincible” cracked 150 million global audio streams and went platinum. Meanwhile, the gold-certified Unleashed became their fourth consecutive album to receive either a gold, platinum, or double-platinum. To date, nine original tunes earned RIAA recognition in tandem with high-profile syncs by everyone from WWE and Marvel to ESPN and NFL. Between selling out arenas on four continents, the group performed on CONAN and graced the pages of USA Today and New York Times, to name a few. In 2018 alone, the band clocked 1 billion streams. This momentum continues on their 2019 tenth full-length, Victorious. With the bulk produced by Korey and John, it lives up to its name for Skillet a s their most triumphant body of work yet.

AMY GRANT & MICHAEL W. SMITH REUNITE FOR SEVEN CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCES ACROSS U.S.

Michael W. Smith To Embark On An Additional 9-City Christmas Tour
All Shows Presented By Balsam Hill®

Nashville, Tenn. (Jul. 15, 2019) - Multi-platinum, GRAMMY® winners Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith are reuniting to co-bill their popular Christmas tour this upcoming holiday season, where they will be joined by special guest Marc Martel. Incorporating a full symphony orchestra at each performance, this musical mastery is being presented by Balsam Hill®. Kicking off November 30 in Cincinnati, OH the seven-city tour travels to Columbus, OH, Indianapolis, IN, Grand Rapids, MI and more.

The highly anticipated show will feature selections spanning the artists’ expansive Christmas repertoires and combine the vast collection of critically-acclaimed holiday albums between them. The dynamic duo last brought their Christmas tour on the road in 2017 to the delight of fans in sold-out shows throughout North America.

"Michael is one is the most gifted musicians I know. His welcoming, easygoing personality makes me look forward to every chance I have to share the stage with him.... especially at Christmas," Grant says.

Smith states, “It’s no secret how much I love Christmas and playing Christmas music. I’m so looking forward to being back out with Amy for the first half of the season – and when she returns home for her Christmas residency at the Ryman – I look forward to carrying on for nine more shows with my band and the amazing Marc Martel!”

Grant and Smith both agreed, “We are so happy to have Balsam Hill as our Tour Sponsor again. A Christmas Tour sponsored by the manufacturer of the most beautiful Christmas trees and Christmas decorations; it just doesn’t get any better than that! Both of our homes are decorated with Balsam Hill products.”

“It all comes full circle! Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith - two class acts, whose music has been a big part of my own musical upbringing - have invited me to join them on their 2019 Christmas tour. As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to Christmas shows, this one is the standard. So excited to share the stage with Smitty and Amy, and see you all somewhere on the road this holiday season,” Martel adds.

In addition to the performance, and in support of their longstanding relationship with Compassion International, Michael and Amy are exclusively meeting fans who sponsor a child through the organization prior to the concerts through the website www.meetamyandmichael.com and www.meetmichaelwsmith.com. This “Compassion Meet & Greet” is an opportunity to learn more about the Compassion International’s child sponsorship experience and will include a photo and Meet & Greet opportunity with the artists. (Tickets to each concert must be purchased separately through the event’s normal ticketing outlets.) All three artists are also participating in the Sixth Annual Balsam Hill Celebrities for Smiles Charity Auction, where the public can bid on one-of-a-kind, celebrity-autographed, beautiful holiday ornaments on an eBay auction at www.CelebritiesforSmiles.com. All proceeds will benefit Operation Smile, an international medical charity that offers free cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries to children and young adults all around the world.

Following the seven-city run with Grant, Smith will continue the Christmas tour with Martel for nine dates hitting Nashville, TN, Atlanta, GA, Detroit, MI, and more. He will be accompanied by the full symphony orchestra on select dates as well. Meanwhile, Grant will return to Nashville for her Christmas at the Ryman residency with her husband Vince Gill. The 12-date holiday concert run will kick off on December 11 at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium and close on December 23. This year’s Ryman residency offers matinee times of the couple's holiday show on December 15, 22 and 23.

About Marc Martel:
Long before his YouTube videos went viral, spawning an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and a performance with the surviving members of Queen on “American Idol,” Marc Martel spent 13 years recording and touring the globe with Canadian rockers Downhere. After hearing about a contest spearheaded by the actual members of Queen, the front man almost passed on the opportunity to enter, but with some prodding, he casually cut a version of “Somebody To Love” in 2011, and now 30 million cumulative YouTube and Facebook views later, Martel was declared the victor. Fast forward to 2019, and Martel has forged for himself a unique and diverse career. Amongst other accolades, he started his own Queen tribute show called The Ultimate Queen Celebration, which tours all over the world, including an upcoming Germany/Austria/Switzerland run in 2020. In 2018 Martel was called upon to be one of the voices of Freddie Mercury in the Twentieth Century Fox film, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, which has not only opened up touring opportunities that have brought him all over playing to sold out crowds, but has led to features by the New York Times, Good Morning America, and hundreds of other publications.

Additionally, each Christmas Marc releases EP’s chalk full of traditional holiday songs recorded with a fresh perspective and sound. The last 4 radio singles off these albums have garnered him Top 10 chart positioning on Billboard’s Monitored AC Christian chart. Now 150 million YouTube views later, and a nearly cult online following, it feels as if Marc Martel is quickly becoming a recognizable name.

Sara Groves, Audrey Assad, Ellie Holcomb, Propaganda and Robbie Seay Band Unite for Recently Released “Behold”

Unique Collaboration Birthed Out Of Vital Work Of International Justice Mission

Nashville, Tenn. (Jul. 12, 2019) – “Behold,” available now, finds Sara Groves, Audrey Assad, Ellie Holcomb, Propaganda and Robbie Seay Bandjoining forces for a unique worship anthem inspired by International Justice Mission (IJM). The unlikely pairing was unveiled at IJM's Liberate Conference which marked 20 years of impactful work around the globe advocating for victims of human trafficking and other forms of violence against the poor. Propaganda, Seay and Groves co-wrote “Behold” two months prior with the intention of capturing the spirit and theme of the event - “Behold, I am doing a new thing, even now I am coming. Do you see it?"

“I have been a fan of Robbie Seay for years and I am completely blown away by Propaganda on all fronts,” shares Groves, a long-time supporter of IJM. “Going in, I wondered how we would navigate coming from different musical spaces - worship leader, singer/songwriter, hip hop artist - but we were at the Art House where all kinds of fusion have occurred over the years - over everything, there was generosity. It didn’t really come together until we were all together again at the event - to watch that happen in the moment was pretty powerful.”

Aligning with the song drop is a live performance video intermixed with captures of the critical work of IJM.

The song is available on all streaming platforms or for purchase by clicking here.

About Sara Groves:
Sara Groves is a singer/songwriter and recording artist with numerous album-of-the-year honors and a career spanning two decades. For the past 14 years she has partnered with International Justice Mission (IJM.org) to advocate for victims of human trafficking and other forms of violence against the poor. Groves, her husband Troy, and their three children (Kirby, Toby & Ruby) reside in St. Paul, MN where they cultivate an artist community out of a 110 year-old church called Art House North (www.arthousenorth.com). Following the release of her 13th studio album, Abide With Me (2017), Groves’ newest, "Jesus, See The Traveler," is available now.

The Way Home With Inaugural Release Out Aug. 30

Upbeat and Folky Single “Now I See” Available Today
WorshipU Serves As Host For Global Announcement

Nashville, Tenn. (Jul. 12, 2019) – Long-time pillars in the Bethel Music community Paul and Hannah McClure are embarking on their first standalone album, The Way Home, out Aug. 30. The organic next step was announced during Bethel Music’s annual WorshipU. Brian Johnson, Josh Baldwin, Seth Mosley, Matt Hammitt, Mia Fieldes and a host of others joined Paul & Hannah as co-writers in the nearly four-year pilgrimage. In finding The Way Home, the couple steeped in songwriting worked with producer David Leonard who harkened back to their Carolina roots.

“It’s truth but in a palatable way,” explains Hannah, who says she hopes the entire album conveys the truth of Christ while being “kind and inclusive at the same time, bringing people in” an attitude Paul and Hannah have in their songwriting and in their lives. “We want people when they’re around us to feel like they can be themselves and be at home,” shares Paul. “I’m realizing that songwriting and life are the same thing as far as they are a process and a journey. The songs are a snapshot of who we are, where we’ve been and where we come from.”

The collection is an homage to the couple’s North Carolina roots, songs filled with truth housed Americana and folk-inspired sound. Nashville’s historic Layman Drug Company served as an ideal backdrop for The Way Home. The 130 year-old fixture originated as a pharmacy before it’s musical renovation. Tim McGraw, Joy Williams, Kirk Franklin, Anderson East, Maggie Rogers and a host of others have also trusted the precious space for their melodic sharing.

"Now I See" Single Cover

Birthed out of the blind beggar passage found in John 9, the assured “Now I See” will bow today as the first step of The Way Home. It aims to convey the delight God takes in His children – something the parents of two see viscerally mirrored in their current season. The lead single serves an invitation to see delight in His eyes and let that change the heart and days that follow.

Also found on the album is “Only Have One,” a track written with the current moment in mind centering around proclaiming truth amidst confusion, and the freedom anthem “Holding Onto You.”

The Way Home reflects not only the four-year process of making this collection of music, but also a broader journey that has been unfolding for the McClures. An initial trek to from North Carolina to WorshipU in 2009 served as an ingress to a 2012 cross country move to Redding where both Paul and Hannah now serve as an integral part of the Bethel Music Team. The couple have been featured on every major Bethel album release since 2010 with songs like “Jesus, We Love You,” “One Thing” and “Faithful to the End.”

Bethel Music’s Newest Signee Brandon Lake Drops Debut Single “This Is A Move”

Resonating Song Co-Written With GRAMMY® Winner Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Tony Brown and Nate Moore

Nashville, Tenn. (Jun. 28, 2019) – “This Is A Move” from South Carolina-based worship leader Brandon Lake is being unveiled today, marking his entrance as the newest member of the Bethel Music family. The awe-inspired track was co-written with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Tony Brown and Nate Moore. The origins of the song are personal to Lake as they stem from his friend Micah’s miraculous healing from a rare form of Multiple Sclerosis. The song found early support when Cobbs Leonard released it earlier this year. 

The song infused with belief and healing was mirrored to Lake through the countless stories he encountered on Bethel Music’s well-attended “Victory Tour.” The trek with Tasha Cobbs-Leonard and Housefires sold out markets in Seattle, Miami, Los Angeles, Dallas, Phoenix, Birmingham, Houston, Tulsa, Vancouver and more. The second leg will embark this fall. 

“By the grace of God, this small idea turned into a song for this season; the soundtrack to what I believe is a movement in my local church, and maybe, just maybe, some language to what I believe God is doing all around the world,” shares Lake. “I’m convinced that when we take on our true identity as sons and daughters of God, courageously live by the Spirit, and feel the compassion of Jesus towards every person—we become a dangerous force to reckoned with. We begin to meet every sickness, disease, and demon with the reality that it has to bow at the name of Jesus; and we will see God do more than we ever thought was possible.”

Lake has grown to be a familiar face within the Bethel Music Collective. In addition to touring, he led worship at last month’s “Heaven Come Conference” at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater. He has also been writing with mainstays of the group like Paul and Hannah McClure. Lake is based out of Seacoast Church which serves congregations throughout North Carolina and South Carolina.

“Towards the end of last year, I was asked to join the Bethel Music Collective - which is a miracle in itself. My family has always felt like we carried the same spirit, only on the East Coast,” says Lake. “This was a testimony that God’s timing is perfect because what was about to happen on tour just weeks later would forever change me, and reinforce this lesson I’ve been learning about who God ‘still is.’”

Apple Music will exclusively premiere a live component of the song on Jul. 5. To stream “This Is A Move,” click here.

ABOUT SKILLET:
One of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum Wisconsin quartet Skillet—John Cooper [lead vocals/bass], Korey Cooper [guitar/keys], Jen Ledger [drums/vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]—write the soundtrack to triumph. An undying spirit humbly asserted and affirmed the band as one of this generation’s most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, they not only garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods and sold over 12 million albums worldwide, but they also took home a Billboard Music Award for the double-platinum Awake and were welcomed into Pandora’s Billionaires club after clocking over 2 billion streams. Its breakout single “Monster” remains “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with 285 global audio streams. 2016’s Unleashed bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. Going #1 on Rock Radio, the lead single “Feel Invincible” cracked 150 million global audio streams and went platinum. Meanwhile, the gold-certified Unleashed became their fourth consecutive album to receive either a gold, platinum, or double-platinum. To date, nine original tunes earned RIAA recognition in tandem with high-profile syncs by everyone from WWE and Marvel to ESPN and NFL. Between selling out arenas on four continents, the group performed on CONAN and graced the pages of USA Today and New York Times, to name a few. In 2018 alone, the band clocked 1 billion streams. This momentum continues on their 2019 tenth full-length, Victorious. With the bulk produced by Korey and John, it lives up to its name for Skillet as their most triumphant body of work yet.

ABOUT ALTER BRIDGE:
Alter Bridge burst onto the music scene in 2004 with the release of their gold-selling debut, One Day Remains. In 2007, the band released Blackbird, the album that elevated the band’s profile worldwide. The epic solo in the title track “Blackbird” was voted “Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time” by Guitarist Magazine. ABIII was released in 2010 and the single “Isolation” gave the band their first #1 single. In 2013, the band reached an elevated creative and critical plateau with Fortress. It bowed at #12 on the Billboard Top 200, moving over 30,000 copies first-week and earning unanimous tastemaker praise. The record garnered perfect scores from Total Guitar and KERRANG! as well as acclaim from Billboard, The Guardian, Loudwire, Ultimate Guitar, and many more. In between sold out tours in Europe and North America, the guys appeared on VH1 and graced the cover of Classic Rock Magazine who labeled Fortress, “The best thing they’ve ever done,” while Eddie Trunk called it, “A top 10 album of the last 10 years.” 2016’s The Last Hero gave the band their first Top 10 album since their debut. Alter Bridge has appeared on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live and their music has been used by the WWE, Major League Baseball and NASCAR to name a few. The band recently released the video and audio of their career highlight, Live At The Royal Albert Hall, featuring Alter Bridge backed by the 52-piece Parallax Orchestra led by conductor Simon Dobson.

“Skillet is .... a rare kind of band that shatters stereotypes” - Pandora’s Programming Curator Melissa Riddle Chalos

 Skillet Joins Ranks Of Pandora's Billionaires As "Feel Invincible" Reaches Platinum Certification

Multi-Platinum Selling Group Drops “Anchor” and 
“Save Me” Ahead Of Brand New Album Victorious (Aug. 2)

Bonus Song Available Alongside Pre-Order of 
Graphic Novel, EDEN (Aug.)

Nashville, Tenn. (Jun. 14, 2019) –Certifications continue to roll in as Skillet gears up for the debut of their newest Victorious (Aug. 2, Atlantic Record). The multi-platinum selling super group joined Pandora's Billionaires club with over two billion streams. The rarity is reserved for those totaling over a billion spins on the popular platform throughout an artist's career. The distinction places them in the company of other Pandora Billionaires like John Legend, Fleetwood Mac, Keith Urban and more. 

“Skillet is without peer in the world of fist-pumping, faith-informed rock, a rare kind of band that shatters stereotypes and marketing plans, while tapping into emotional DNA of people from all walks of life, believers and skeptics alike," shares Pandora’s Programming Curator Melissa Riddle Chalos. "It’s phenomenal to see the success of a band that, 23 years in, continues to delivers hope on a sonically relevant scale.”

Skillet's No. 1 Rock Hit, "Feel Invincible" reached new heights recently as it scored RIAA Platinum Certification. The song is found on their last album, the RIAA Gold Certified, Unleashed.

In anticipation of their tenth LP, Skillet is unveiling two more instant grat songs - “Anchor” and “Save Me” - on all streaming platforms today. Billboard originally announced the brand new 12 track collection from the multi-platinum selling group. The first single, “Legendary,” is impacting rock radio and has amassed nearly 7 million views on YouTube. "Anchor" will impact Christian radio. 

Another new track, “Dreaming of Eden,” will be available upon release by purchasing a pre-order of their upcoming graphic novel “Eden.” Powerhouse Z2 Comics is publishing the graphic novel which looks to tell Skillet’s story, that of unlikely heroes, perseverance and faith. Publishers Weekly recently caught up with frontman John Cooper where he shared more about the inspiration behind his recent brainchild. To pre-order the book before it is available this August, click here. 

Starting Aug. 11, Skillet is joining Sevendust on tour through Sept. 7 followed by their European tour kicking off on Nov. 6. For the latest, visit www.Skillet.com.
