I want to thank my amazing co-writers Tony Wood and Mitch Wong for getting the song to where it needed to be; producer Wayne Haun for his  incredible job conveying the message of “The Keepers”; and our incredible record company, Daywind Records, for believing in us. KPNR was formed 32 years ago. We are very thankful to the Lord for making the way and for keeping our music relevant and purposeful. We will keep persevering.”

This song has touched countless lives, and we have all heard so many stories about the ‘keepers’ that we all have around us in our lives. We knew how special the song was the minute we heard it in our song selection meeting for the project. I love it when a song like this comes along and you see the impact of it night after night at the concerts. We are so excited and thankful for KPNR to receive this honor.”
