Two-time NSAI Songwriter-Artist of the Year and award-winning hitmaker Matthew West will bring the songs and stories of Christmas to eight cities this holiday season on the Come Home for Christmas Live on Tour. Kicking off in Asheville, N.C. on Dec. 10, the tour will pair beloved classics with music that points audiences back to the true reason for the season, offering an invitation to come home to the heart of Christmas.

Presale starts this Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 10 a.m. local time with general onsale beginning this Thursday, Sept. 3 at 10 a.m. local time.

“More than a concert, the Come Home for Christmas Tour has become an annual invitation for all of us to come home to the true meaning of the season,” shares West. “My hope is that these nights will become special Christmas memories that fill our hearts with joy while pointing us back to the true reason we celebrate the birth of Jesus, our Savior. I can’t wait to celebrate this special season with you!”

The eight-date run will follow West’s beloved Come Home For Christmas weekend in Franklin, Tenn., taking place Dec. 3–6. Now in its fifth year, the event continues to draw in fans from across the country for a special time of music, worship and community.

Before the holiday run, West will embark on his 17-stop Jesus Is King Tour. Kicking off on Sept. 10 in Austin, the tour will bring his forthcoming Jesus Is King album, due Sept. 25, to audiences across the country.

On his 14th studio album, West pairs his signature vocal with cutting-edge sonics as he wrestles with one question that cuts to the heart of modern life: Who is Jesus, really? Across 12 tracks, Jesus Is King explores control, uncertainty, redemption and faith, all while returning to the truth at the center of the record: God is in control.

PRE-SAVE/PRE-ADD: JESUS IS KING

Earlier this year, West celebrated his 39th No. 1 song with “Good,” adding to a decorated career defined by West’s rare longevity and impact as a recording artist and songwriter. In addition to being named NSAI’s Songwriter-Artist of the Year twice, West is an ASCAP Golden Note Award recipient, ASCAP Songwriter of the Year nominee and a multi-year ASCAP Christian Music Songwriter-Artist of the Year winner, with more than 375 songwriting credits to his name.

GRAMMY® Award-winning artist and one of the most influential voices in Christian music, Chris Tomlin, will celebrate the hope and wonder of the Christmas season with the Good News of Great Joy Tour.

“Christmas started with a song… with the announcement of Jesus’s birth,” said Tomlin. “What better time than this Christmas to gather at the church to worship and celebrate together! My prayer for this Christmas Tour is that we may be reminded that God is near to us… that when everything is stripped away, all the lights, decorations and gifts… that God is with us. I hope you, your family, and your friends will join me and celebrate!”

Presale tickets for the “Christmas With Chris Tomlin: Good News of Great Joy Tour” will be available beginning Wednesday, September 2. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, September 4.

The inaugural series included a sold-out concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Pier Six in Baltimore and New York City’s Central Park.

His most recent single “Doesn’t He (Deserve It All),” from his 18^th studio album The King Is Still The King, follows on the heels of the album’s debut single “How Good It Is,” which became Tomlin’s biggest radio debut since 2020. Tomlin has written and recorded some of the most widely sung worship songs in the world, including “How Great Is Our God,” “Our God,” and “Holy Forever.” His music continues to impact generations of worshippers in churches, arenas and iconic venues around the globe.

The gospel music legend John P. Kee closed the 41st anniversary Stellar Gospel Music Awards program (which aired on the BET cable TV network from Charlotte, NC’s Spectrum Center) with an emotional, soul-stirring medley of some of his biggest, most iconic church classics such as “Show Up,” “Standing in the Need of Prayer,” “Clap Your Hands” and “Oh How Wonderous.” On the finale, Kee traded vocals with his raspy-voiced mentee Zacardi Cortez.

The audience was standing on its collective feet and cheering like they were at a football team. As Kee was preparing to leave the stage, show host Kirk Franklin ran over to him and whispered that Kee couldn’t leave the stage without performing his biggest hit of all, “Jesus is Real.”

Kee laughed and quickly called out to the show’s music director Daniel Moore and asked if the seasoned house band (who have worked with a who’s who such as Mariah Carey and CeCe Winans) knew the song. They did indeed, so on that cue, Kee leaned into his keyboard and extended the medley with a joyous exhalation of “Jesus is Real.” The performance went over so well that Kee has recreated that special moment with “Stellar Medley (Featuring Zacardi Cortez)” (Kee Music Group / Tyscot Records) which is now available for pre-order and will officially release on all digital music platforms on September 18, 2026.

The track will anchor the gold-selling, Grammy® award nominated crown prince of gospel music’s forthcoming album, Throwback: An Evening with John P. Kee, Pt. 2 (Kee Music Group / Tyscot Records), the final and second half of Kee’s live concert retrospective of his greatest hits, Throwback: An Evening with John P. Kee, Pt. 1 (Kee Music Group / Tyscot Records).

The latter earned Kee seven Stellar Award nominations. The projected earned two of them in the categories of Traditional Male Artist of the Year and Traditional Choir of the Year. Kee recently earned his first Mediabase Gospel Airplay chart No. 1 single in years for his festive track, “Church Medley.”

The popular and long-running “Song Revolution” podcast, showcasing host John Chisum’s heartfelt and insightful conversations with Christian recording artists, worship leaders and songwriters, is making the leap to the small screen this weekend. Joining Cornerstone Television Network’s fall programming lineup, “Song Revolution with John Chisum” will premiere Saturday, September 5 at 3:00 pm ET and 10:30 pm ET with “American Idol” runner-up and genre-spanning singer/songwriter Clark Beckham as the TV series’ first guest.

A total of 13 brand-new “Song Revolution” episodes are set to debut on Cornerstone Television this fall. Welcoming a diversity of voices in Christian music and beyond, Chisum — an award-winning singer/songwriter and founder of Nashville Christian Songwriters — also sits down with worship pioneer Don Moen; Dove Award-winning composer and producer Tommee Profitt; beloved songstress Kathy Troccoli; acclaimed singer/songwriter and worship leader Meredith Andrews; “The Voice” winner Jordan Smith; and Broadway actress and singer Laura Osnes, among others.

“Having the opportunity to bring the creative people I interact with daily to the world through this show is one of the most fulfilling things I could ever do,” shares Chisum. “We’ve been podcasting since 2017, but leveling up to television brings exciting new dimensions to the people and music we love so much. Each guest has a unique angle on creativity, songwriting, and the music they make. I hope viewers will see that behind every song is a story, and behind every story is a real human songwriter who lived some part of that song.”

“I’m so grateful to David Tucker and the entire Cornerstone crew for this opportunity to share how we glorify Jesus through the gifts and talents of these creators,” he continues. “Our mission at Nashville Christian Songwriters is to empower Christian artists and songwriters worldwide, so this partnership is getting us one giant step closer to doing just that.”

“We are thrilled to be picking up ‘Song Revolution with John Chisum,'” states David Tucker, director of programming, Cornerstone Television Network. “The content is fresh and goes deeper than most with John’s keen music insight to ask the compelling questions needed for an engaging interview.”

House of Worship is now available exclusively on Fandango for a limited time. Beginning today, audiences can rent or purchase the film at https://fandan.co/WatchHouseOfWorship. The on-demand release follows the critically acclaimed film’s debut last week in more than 400 theaters across the U.S.

Executive produced by Michael W. Smith and Darlene Zschech, and presented by The Fuel Music and Ori Music, House of Worship shares a bold revival of the anthems that have shaped modern worship. Iconic recording artists alongside today’s leading and emerging voices in worship music, 25 artists in all, are featured in this one-of-a-kind film. Through cinematic storytelling and intimate interviews, it traces the origins and enduring influence of these songs on worship leaders, songwriters and congregations across generations and nations.

Theater audiences and critics are already praising this unique worship experience. House of Worship has received national coverage from CBN News, The Christian Post and Crosswalk, while Movieguide awarded the film four out of four stars and called it a “powerful movie experience.” Today’s Christian Entertainment gave it five stars and Worship Musician praised its gathering of legendary and current worship leaders and songwriters around “some of the most beloved worship songs of our lifetime.”

“What makes House of Worship special is the sense of shared reverence in the room,” adds Patheos “Reel Faith” writer DeWayne Hamby. “These are not staged duets for the camera; they feel like a gathering of friends and fellow servants who simply wanted to worship together. The result is a film that functions as both celebration and invitation—an opportunity for audiences to join in songs that have shaped congregations for decades. For longtime worship listeners and newer ones alike, House of Worship delivers exactly what its title suggests: a house where generations meet, the songs remain central, and the focus stays on the One being sung about.”

Featured songs in the House of Worship film and on its companion album and singles that have already received over 30 million streams, include:

01. Open The Eyes Of My Heart — House of Worship, Paul Baloche & Chris McClarney

GRAMMY®-nominated, Dove Award-winning artist Ryan Stevenson celebrates a decade of his career-defining hit “Eye of the Storm,” which has officially received a RIAA Platinum certification.

Stevenson is celebrating with the release of “Eye of the Storm (A Decade Later).” The newly reimagined versions honor the song’s lasting impact while bringing its message of hope and God’s faithfulness to a new generation. The multi-track single features “Eye of the Storm (A Decade Later)” and “Eye Of The Storm (Kids Version).

L to R: TobyMac, Ryan Stevenson, Bryan Fowler, Joey Elwood

Originally featured on Stevenson’s Fresh Start album, “Eye of the Storm” became a breakout hit in 2016, reaching No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts and remaining at the top of Christian radio for 16 weeks. The song went on to win Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year at the 2017 GMA Dove Awards, while also earning a Dove Award nomination for Song of the Year, a Billboard Music Award nomination for Top Christian Song and two K-LOVE Fan Award nominations.

A decade later, the song has reached another major milestone with its RIAA Platinum certification, further underscoring its enduring connection with listeners. Stevenson celebrated the achievement with a special Platinum celebration at Gotee Records in Franklin, Tennessee, honoring both the certification and a decade of impact for the career-defining song.

For the new rendition, Stevenson revisits the anthem alongside the next generation, creating a meaningful full-circle tribute version to the original recording, which featured the late GabeReal (Gabe Patillo). The new kids’ version features Stevenson and Patillo’s children, adding a deeply personal and multigenerational dimension to the song while preserving the message that first resonated with listeners 10 years ago.

The anniversary celebration will continue this fall as Stevenson heads out on a special “Eye of the Storm” 10th Anniversary Tour, running September 30 through October 18. The limited run will give audiences an opportunity to celebrate the music, memories, and stories surrounding the song, along with fan favorites from Stevenson’s career.

Daywind Music Publishing is excited to announce the signing of Autumn Nelon Streetman to an exclusive songwriting contract, marking a new creative chapter for the Gospel artist and member of the celebrated Nelon family. The partnership brings together two names rooted in Gospel music history, with Autumn stepping into songwriting as the next expression of a calling she’s carried her whole life.

“Signing with Daywind Publishing feels just like home,” says Autumn. “Daywind has always been more than a name in this industry. To me, they’ve been family. They’ve walked alongside me through so many seasons of my life and have always believed in the music, the ministry, and the message God has placed on my heart. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to begin this new chapter with people I already know, love, and trust. I’m excited to see what songs God gives us and how He uses them in the years ahead.”

While songwriting might be new to Autumn, it is something that is in her blood with her father, Jerry Thompson, and grandfather, Rex Nelon, being established songwriters in their own right.

“We are honored to welcome Autumn Nelon Streetman to the Daywind Music Publishing family. Autumn carries one of Gospel music’s most treasured legacies as the granddaughter of Rex Nelon and a member of the beloved Nelon family, and she is emerging as a gifted songwriter in her own right. Over the past few years, she has walked through unimaginable loss and experienced remarkable grace. Those experiences have given her a story that resonates deeply with people.

Through it all, her faith has remained steadfast, and that authenticity shines through in the songs she writes. Autumn is not only preserving a rich heritage, but, also, building on it by writing songs that bring hope, encouragement, and healing to others. We believe some of her most impactful writing lies ahead, and we are thrilled to partner with her as she continues to share her story through music,” shares Rick Shelton, Vice President of Daywind Music Publishing.

Autumn’s latest song, “I’ll Find You”, was released July 24, 2026, and was co-written with Joseph Habedank and Kenna Turner West. The track finds Autumn longing for heaven to find her family after their tragic passing in July of 2024.

Look for more new music coming soon from Autumn later this fall.

Daywind Music Publishing is home to an award-winning roster of songwriters including Lee Black, Adina Bowman, Jim Brady, Melissa Brady, Clint Brown, Riley Harrison Clark, Jason Cox, Adam Crabb, Natalie Cromwell, Marty Funderburk, Joseph Habedank, Mike Harland, Wayne Haun, Matthew Lawson, Tim Lovelace, Devin McGlamery, Karen Peck Gooch, John Darin Rowsey, Belinda Smith, Jonathan C. Smith, Sue C. Smith, and Barry Weeks.

Big changes are under way at Crossroads Label Group, home to Southern Gospel imprints Horizon and Sonlite Records and roots labels Mountain Home Music Company and Organic Records, as company President Scott Wagner announced today that the company has reorganized via promotions to key personnel, added a new member to the Crossroads team and relocated to new offices in Fletcher, NC.

“I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter in the Crossroads legacy,” says Wagner, “working alongside such a talented team as we build on the foundation that’s brought us here. Crossroads is entering an exciting period of growth. Our move into new offices and the recent promotions across our team reflect both our momentum and our ambitions – a space designed to inspire collaboration, and recognition for the people driving Crossroads forward.”

Crossroads’ new offices at 145 Cane Creek Industrial Park Rd, Suite 125, Fletcher,NC

The promotions include the appointment of Audrey Fletcher to Vice President of Marketing; Greg Bentley to Vice President of A&R – Christian; and Aynsley Porchak to Director of Digital Marketing.

“As we celebrate these milestones,” Wagner notes, “we’re also investing in the leadership that will carry us into the future. I’m delighted to announce that Justin Hiltner is joining Crossroads as Vice President of A&R – Roots. His experience, creativity, and deep ties to the roots music community make him an outstanding fit, and we’re confident he’ll make a real impact on our artists, our team, and our growth.”

Top: Audrey Fletcher and Greg Bentley; Bottom: Aynsley Porchak and Justin Hiltner

Says Hiltner, who is relocating to the company’s western North Carolina home, “I started playing the banjo when I was seven years old, so I’ve been listening to Mountain Home artists my entire life. For the last 15 years, as I’ve worked in the music industry, I’ve gotten to know even more music and acts from across the Crossroads group, and its stellar staff, too. I’ve recorded two albums in their studio, and even had the honor of releasing music with the label – first with the legendary Roland White back in 2018. I couldn’t be more excited to join the team and work with this world-class roster of musicians and artists at Crossroads.”

“Two of my primary missions in roots music,” he adds, “have always been first, to tell honest, grounded stories about these musical styles and traditions and second, to give all forms of roots music – bluegrass, folk, Americana, gospel, and beyond – the treatment, care, and esteem they deserve. That’s what Crossroads is doing; I’m looking forward to being a part of it!”

“Together,” concludes Wagner, “we step into this next chapter ready to build on our momentum and strengthen the Crossroads legacy.”

Dawning a watershed third decade of ministry for the acclaimed Utah-based collective, The Rock Music returns September 11 with Not Alone. Produced by Jordan Clark and Joel Pack, the project boasts a lineup of six original selections and two favorites led by The Rock Music’s stable of genre-spanning worship leaders.

Not Alone reveals the mission and purpose of The Rock Church, the suburban Salt Lake City home of The Rock Music. A sonically diverse collection already beloved by the congregation, the album’s life-giving messages are also being carried forth into a community hungry for true Hope in a region with among the fewest Bible-believing Christians in the country.

“These songs have been woven into our regular worship services and events, and they’ve had significant impact on our brothers and sisters in Utah,” shares The Rock Music founder Steele Croswhite, a former rock band frontman-turned-pastor who experienced the radical restoration of his faith at The Rock Church more than 20 years ago. “But the music isn’t limited to Utah. The themes of Truth, longing, and worship expressed in these songs are for the Church everywhere.”

Offering a preview of Not Alone, standout track “Yearning Heart” — penned by collective leaders Steele Croswhite and Caleb Yetton along with Ryan Hall (“Worthy Of It All”). The song’s inspiration came from Dane Ortlund’s Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers. “The book gripped me in its explanation of how God’s heart for us is yearning with affection, love and grace,” shares Croswhite. “Love compels Him towards us even on our worst day, and not only does He delight in us, but He rejoices over us with songs of gladness and joy.”

Additional album highlights include the impassioned “Loved Me at My Worst,” a balm of grace for the troubled soul; the reflective ballad “amazed again”; the timeless hymn “Jesus Paid It All,” spotlighting The Rock Music’s longtime worship leaders Caleb & Kelsea Yetton; a reimaged rock rendition of worship favorite “Good Good Father”; and the newly penned “Grace Will Come.” Written by Steele Croswhite, Caleb Yetton and Terell Davy, the latter track closes Not Alone with an earnest reminder of God’s faithfulness.

“There’s a line in ‘Grace Will Come’ that says, ‘Not alone in the dark or the desert/If we’re there, then You’re there/You won’t leave us,'” shares Croswhite. “Within the theme of all of these songs is that central Truth — Jesus is with us. He is close, gracious, compassionate, forgiving, good, and amazing. And we are His!”
