Sarah Kroger Releases First Fully Live Album Recorded In London

Sarah Kroger releases ‘The London Sessions‘ an album that marks a “meeting of the streams” moment for the Nashville-based singer-songwriter. The new album is the artist’s first completely live record, recorded just outside of London following Kroger’s first UK tour, marking another milestone in her international appeal.

As a Catholic, Kroger is no stranger to the global church, celebrating this as an opportunity to continue leaning into that side of her artistry and serving listeners beyond her native borders.

This project is a collection of intentionally chosen songs that tell of where Kroger has been musically over the past few years, both as a solo artist and as a part of various side projects and collectives. The songs were selected from her album “Light” (2020), as well as from her work with musical communities REVERE (2021), FAITHFUL (2021), and Village Lights (2021). “The London Sessions” emphasizes Kroger’s diverse creativity and highlights her smooth vocals, which shine through each of the 7 tracks.

“We went into this recording as a band saying to each other, ‘How would you want to hear this song live?’ After each person added their own flavor, my music director, Zorin McGuire, took all the flavors and made sure they worked together,” Kroger explains.

The new album is concluded with “What A Wonderful World” – a longtime favorite for Kroger who always includes it in her concert sets, creating an extra layer of the uniqueness and broad appeal of this album.

All To Jesus was produced by Michael Monroe, Andy Soemo, Stephen Pelatzky, David Neuman  and was co-written by Raymond Gregory, Michael Monroe, Koby Orr (Canyon Hills Worship) and Brandon Coker, Clay Finnesand (North Point Worship).

“Most of these songs were written at writing camps with our good friends Clay Finnesand and Brandon Coker from North Point Worship”, says Michael Monroe of Canyon Hills Worship.  “They have become our constant collaborators.  There’s something so special about writing with good friends.  Getting to know the ins and outs of each other’s lives and walks with Jesus.  These songs all came from a special place of honesty and vulnerability in those settings.”

The 10-song album showcases the live experience at Canyon Hills Community Church.  The album also features live version of popular songs like “Mercy Of Jesus”, “Surrender” and “On and On.”

“Our heart as a band has always been to write songs for our church.  For the people that the Lord has entrusted to us to lead in worship.  There is something so special about singing a new song all together in that room.  This project was born out of a desire to continue singing new songs to the Lord at Canyon Hills.  What a blessing it is to see these songs starting to impact people outside of our four walls.” – Michael Monroe, Canyon Hills Worship
