Singer-Songwriter Rorie will release a new single “Unseen” on Friday, February 3, 2023. The song is inspired by a handful of scriptures: Romans 8:24-28, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Romans 5:5 and Hebrews 11:1.

“The words came from a season when it felt like I was losing many things. It was during this time when I was reminded how important it is to know what we truly put our hope in. It can be easy to say that we have faith or that we believe when things are going well, but when it seems like everything else is crashing to pieces – that’s when our faith can really be tested. This song is an acknowledgement of those moments of surrender, when we know that all we have is Christ and that even if that was all that we ever had, it would be enough.

Knowing Jesus is worth more than anything we may win or lose in this life, and as a Christian this reminds me of how beautiful eternity will be. No matter what this life may bring, we can look to eternity with our Savior and know that ‘it is well.’”

This is the first single to release off of her upcoming album ‘Stones of Remembrance,’ which is currently releasing one song at a time and expected in full later in 2023.

Gotee Records’ Jon Reddick will be appearing on TobyMac’s Hits Deep arena tour that begins tonight in Florida and will hit more than 30 dates through March 31st. He is featured on the tour along with CROWDER, Cochren & Co. Tasha Layton and Terrian.

This tour comes on the heels of two tours at the end of 2022 where Reddick was featured on Michael W. Smith’s “Waymaker” tour as well as the K-LOVE Christmas tour.

Reddick began impacting listeners with his debut hit song, “God, Turn It Around,” which was the No. 1 song on K-LOVE’s Top Songs of 2022. The multi-week Top 5 Christian Airplay and Mediabase Christian Audience song has been heard around the world with more than 82 million life-to-date streams.

Reddick is also one of the worship pastors at Church of the City in Franklin, TN and their versions of his songs, “You Keep Hope Alive” and “God, Turn It Around,” became Top 30 Mediabase Christian Audience radio singles in 2020 and 2021 and top songs on the Air1: Worship Now radio network.

His newest single, “I Believe It (The Life of Jesus),” is already being played ahead of the official add date, February 10th, on K-LOVE and will begin playing on Air1: Worship Now networks next week. The lyric video for the new song is linked below and has already amassed nearly 50k views in two weeks.

As a songwriter, Reddick’s talent extends beyond the worship genre as he co-wrote and is featured on TobyMac’s song, “Show Up Choose Love” and is a writer on “Everything About You” (featuring Marlee) on his GRAMMY-nominated album Life After Death. He also wrote Mandisa’s song, “You Keep Hope Alive.”

The Gray Havens announce the inaugural Zion Caravan Tour.

On March 22, The Gray Havens embark on their inaugural Zion Caravan Tour with friends Antoine Bradford, John Mark Pantana and LOVKN.

“The Zion Caravan tour concept has been in discussion for a while and we are glad to finally launch,” states Artist Garden Entertainment‘s Keith Stancil. “The Gray Havens, Antoine Bradford, John Mark Pantana and LOVKN have all built significant followings as indie artists without the help of radio or major record labels.

While there is cross-pollination across the four artists‘ fan bases, we anticipate the Zion Caravan tour will draw and connect larger audiences and ultimately grow the indie touring footprint in Christian music. These artists are making an impact with fantastic music and their streaming numbers reveal a significant fan base hungry for this kind of tour.”

The Gray Havens‘ David Radford says “I can’t wait for this tour. I want it to be special. It’s a grand experiment in a lot of ways and I hope it’s just the 1.0 of future Zion Caravan Tours to come. But I’d love for you to come and be a part of the first one with us – and of course our fellow artists, John Mark Pantana Antoine Bradford and LOVKN“

International Justice Mission has signed on as the tour sponsor.

Tickets for the tour are now available through Ticketswag and TheGrayHavensMusic.com.

Tribute Quartet, releases their highly-anticipated Daywind album, Always Grace, on January 27th.  Comprised of Gary Casto, Josh Singletary, Gus Gaches, and Ian Owens, Tribute Quartet is one of the most dynamic and sought-after male quartets in Gospel music with five #1 songs to their credit in the last two years.

Lead vocalist, Gary Casto shares, “Over 38 years, I’ve had the distinct privilege to record many powerful songs. In my opinion, the ten songs we chose on this latest effort, Always Grace, are no exception. Each track instills joy and encouragement in the listener (no less, we, as Tribute) and speaks to the heart of what matters in life. It’s no less than an honor to be trusted with a message that transcends all walks of life and gets to the point: ‘It’s always grace that sustains us. It’s always grace that keeps us. It’s always grace that galvanizes our faith in the Source of the grace we walk in, daily’.”

Baritone vocalist and pianist, Josh Singletary adds, “We’ve all heard songs about grace. We’ve all heard countless sermons and lectures regarding grace. The topic of grace, at times, sadly, seems to ring monotonous. But, the fact of the matter remains: you wouldn’t be alive, right now; I wouldn’t be breathing, right now; no one would experience peace, joy, love, mercy, hope, or, suffice it to say, blessings of any kind, if not for the grace of a Holy God. We would never have the unbelievable advantage imparted to the world to even whisper about He who offers this grace. What a message to attempt to communicate!”

Dusty Wells, director of Artist and Label Relations for Daywind Records, comments,

“All of us at Daywind Records are so proud of Tribute Quartet.  What an incredible opportunity and blessing it is to have Gary, Josh, Ian, and Gus, as part of the Daywind family.  This new project, Always Grace, is one of their best yet and is certain to be one of your favorites.  I love how these guys take such special care when picking the songs, and they make certain that each song is a ‘heart’ reflection of where they are on the journey and what they are seeing and hearing from their many fans and friends who come out to see them live.”

Author and singer/songwriter Ellie Holcomb has achieved the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) Bronze Award for selling more than 100,000 copies of her debut children’s book, Who Sang The First Song, (B&H Publishing, 2018). The book hit the ECPA juvenile bestseller list and was a finalist for the 2019 Christian Book Award in the children’s category.

Illustrated by Kayla Harren, Who Sang the First Song? is an engaging board book with whimsical art, where Holcomb asks a childlike question and answers with a lovely lyrical tale that shows young readers that God our Maker sang the first song and created us all with a song to sing.

Holcomb has also authored two additional children’s books, Don’t Forget To Remember, and most recently her Christmas book, Sounding Joy, which landed at No. 4 on ECPA’s Christian Juvenile Bestsellers, Christmas 2022 list. With each of these children’s releases, she has simultaneously released original music with their own EPs. She also won the GMA Dove Award for “Children’s Album of the Year” in 2020 for her album, Sing: Remembering Songs. In addition, she has released a bestselling devotional, Fighting Words: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness, which was released in 2021.

This year, she is kicking off the year with a new song, “Bones,” with her husband Drew Holcomb that was released this month. This precedes their “Drew & Ellie Residency Tour” that kicks off on February 9th hitting markets such as Atlanta, Dallas, New York City, Knoxville and Seattle. Tickets are on sale here.

About Ellie Holcomb: 

For eight years, Ellie recorded and toured full-time with her husband’s band, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, before stepping off the road when her first child was born. Her solo debut, As Sure As The Sun (2014), landed her a Top 10 hit and a GMA Dove Award for “New Artist of the Year.” Her critically-acclaimed sophomore LP, Red Sea Road, followed in 2017.

In subsequent years, Holcomb has released three children’s books – each with a companion EP of original music written specifically for kids. The second of which debuted at the top of the Billboard Kids chart and earned her a Dove Award for “Children’s Album of the Year,” in 2020. In 2021, she released her third full-length solo project, Canyon, to much acclaim as well as earning her a second Top 10 radio single with the song, “I Will Carry You.”

Her first adult book and devotional, Fighting Words: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness, has spent many months on the ECPA Bestseller list. For more information visit: ellieholcomb.com 

Micah Tyler makes his book debut with today’s release of Walking Free: Taking Small Steps To A Big God (K-LOVE Books). Full of encouragement partnered with daily devotionals, it is Tyler’s hope that Walking Free will be a guide to help its readers set out on a path to a free and meaningful life. New York Times’ bestselling author, podcaster, and speaker Annie F. Downs wrote the foreword.

To celebrate its release, Tyler will appear tonight at the Mardel Bookstore in Beaumont, Texas for a special performance and book signing. Find out more HERE.

Walking Free: Taking Small Steps to a Big God wasinspired byTyler’s hit song of the same name. Within its pages, he applies Scripture and Biblical wisdom in his teaching alongside personal stories along with questions for both personal reflections and group discussions. It is also Tyler’s desire to support and encourage believers to experience the mercy and mission of a closer connection with God and to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus, regardless of external circumstances.

He shares, “I want to invite you on a 42-day journey as we take small steps away from the things of this world and all the empty promises it offers and walk toward the good things of God and the knowledge of knowing Jesus more deeply and meaningfully. We’ll take these steps together, working toward trusting the Lord because we don’t follow each other, we follow Him. As we walk this journey, we want to celebrate God’s love for us, discovering the heights that His freedom brings into our lives. Some steps will be beautiful and some will be difficult, but this road will lead somewhere amazing. One step at a time!”
