There is a threshold in life that is important for us to discover. That is, there is more to life to be lived. We selected the term Afro Frontier as a title which is a recent term coined by historian Dr. Timothy E. Nelson who studies the westward movement of African Americans from the south post-slavery.
In the recording of this song, we realized we were standing in a moment where we were looking back at past accomplishments, failures, losses, and victories and made a decision to not just live in those moments but look forward to new discoveries ahead.
Afro Frontier is the theme music to those moments ahead that await us.

Brad Perry, a highly decorated former NASA rocket scientist, and his wife, Joanie Perry, a dedicated educator—together known professionally as Alabaster Grace—have released their latest single, “All Together for Good,” from Westar Media Group.
For the follow-up to their most recent single, “Let Your Fire Fall,” the couple called on the talents of multiple Dove Award-winning producer Chris Bevins (producer and keyboards for Selah, Christine D’Clario, Salvador, Jaci Velasquez), to bring a unique perspective to the recording of “All Together for Good,” and to make it shine.
In addition to serving as keyboardist, Bevins brought in some of Nashville’s other top studio musicians for the recording, including drummer Dan Needham (Amy Grant, Jeremy Camp, Michael McDonald, Sting), guitarist Mike Payne (Casting Crowns, Francesca Battistelli, Mandisa, Lauren Daigle, Natalie Grant), and bassist Jacob Lowery (Gaither Vocal Band, Seth & Nirva).
“Alabaster Grace has brought the timeless message of God’s faithfulness into clear focus with their new song ‘All Together for Good,’” says Bevins. “From Brad’s soulful lead guitars to Joanie’s strong vocal melodies and harmonies, the joy and confidence we have as believers is on full display.
Weaving Scripture together with modern rhythms, singing, and clapping, this song will remind you that God can be fully trusted, and that He brings light and purpose to our lives.”
Joanie Perry, Alabaster Grace’s primary songwriter, penned the song, while Brad Perry wrote the guitar parts and the powerful bridge. Together, Joanie and Brad further developed the song and crafted the arrangement along with Bevins.

“This song is based on the promise of Romans 8:28, ‘We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose (NRSV),’” says Brad, an ordained minister who often shares a sermon along with Alabaster Grace’s musical performances. “
This one verse encapsulates all of God’s promises from Genesis to Revelation, and it sits at the pinnacle of the Bible’s greatest explanation of what it means to be a child of God, as described in the first eight chapters of Romans. Romans 8:28 can change your life and make you resilient and cheerful regardless of your circumstances.
Our latest single release, ‘All Together for Good,’ is focused on God’s promise in Romans 8:28 to us as believers. When we focus on glorifying God in everything we do, He will work everything out for His good, and that is, by definition, for our good, too!”
“‘All Together for Good’ is based on the promise of Romans 8:28,” says Joanie. “Our ministry is focused on offering God’s hope and encouragement to a world that is in desperate need. This is a very happy song with a very catchy chorus: We know that all things together work / all things together for good to those who are the children of God.”
“‘All Together for Good’ is a perfect upbeat song for ‘all those who love God.’” says Kathryn Livingston, Westar Media Group’s Director of Client Services. “This song will brighten up your day and leave you inspired. I highly recommend listening to this new great single.”
In a season where we’re faced with the global crisis, rumors of wars, recession, and pestilence; we cry out for healing and restoration. Lord God, heal the nations of the earth.
Purist has a burden for the nations which has birthed this song. “Heal Our Land” is a sincere prayer in the midst of the global unrest. Jesus is the answer for our world today.
“Heal Our Land” was written by Purist Ogboi and produced by Evans Ogboi for Simplicity Records.

GRAMMY-nominated band MercyMe has announced the line-up and routing for their fall “Together Again Tour.” Joining the band to hit 16 cities in October are past tourmates, Crowder and Andrew Ripp. Tickets go on sale May 12th in most markets at mercyme.org, and the tour routing is below.
This spring the band has been touring across the U.S. in support of their latest best-selling project, ALWAYS ONLY JESUS, which feature’s the No. 1 hit “Then Christ Came” and their new single, “To Not Worship You,” coming May 19th. About the song, lead singer Bart Millard said, “I think with this song, I better realize what being still and knowing that He is God means. A lot of times when we have doubt or we’re questioning stuff, I think ultimately it’s because we’re not stopping and remembering who God really is. When you take the time to remember who God is, then it’s easy to ask, ‘Who are we to not worship him?’”
“Together Again Tour”
Dynamic. Distinct. Purposeful. Raw. Honest. These are just a few descriptions of the artistry of songwriter and musician Stephen Stanley. Releasing songs with Capitol CMG since 2020, Stanley announces his debut 14-track album, Divided Frame Of Mind, will release on July 21, 2023. The album’s pre-order begins today accompanied by its latest single, “The Edge.
The songs that form Divided Frame of Mind, which he wrote and produced with Tedd T (Mutemath, For King & Country), share about mental health and about making choices – confronting life’s darkness and shining a light on it. As Stanley explains, “Sometimes you have to go to that dark place to find the light.”
Initially writing “The Edge” more than a year ago, he shares, “When I began writing it, it started off really dark but I revisited it and remade the music and reworked the melodies. I knew then that it would inform the rest of the album and what I was trying to say. This song is the beginning of the story. While it is one of the darker songs, I knew it was the best place to start and give people a taste of what’s to come on the rest of the project.”
“The Edge” follows lead single “Rest In The Father,” which has 3M in global streams and is currently top 15 on radio. Additionally, a new version of the song featuring Jonathan Traylor was released in April.

AOH Music, (vocalist Brianne Nealon, drummer Jimmy Meier, and guitarist/producer Jack Garno) completes its debut EP, Live At Ocean Way Nashville, with the release of the project’s third track, “Light of the World,” on May 12.
Recorded at the historic Ocean Way studios in Nashville and accompanied by a string quartet, the band performed each song live while it was recorded and filmed.
“The Holy Spirit moved within the musicians that night, and it was captured inside those recordings,” the band says. “God created this Earth for us to live and live abundantly, sharing in His overflowing love, grace, and goodness.
He calls us through the Great Commission to be the light of Christ to those around us. Our testimonies have power and allow Christ’s light to shine through in all situations (Matthew 5:14-16). Jesus is the only one who can change hearts and renew minds.
Through Him and by Him all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Out of Christ’s Holiness and Love, He exposes the darkness and makes it known to us. ‘Light of the World’ is a reminder for us to LOOK UP to the Lord in all situations, to turn our eyes upon Him, for Jesus is the world’s light!”
AOH Music’s debut single “Abba Father” released on March 31, and earned immediate adds on multiple playlists including Spotify’s New Music Friday Christian and Amazon Music’s Worship Now, followed by “Heal Our World” on April 21, which has been added to 50 playlists including Spotify’s Worship Daily and New Music Friday Christian, Apple Music’s New Christian Music, and Amazon Music’s Modern Hymns.
In addition to AOH Music, Nealon, Meier, and Garno lead worship nights and perform at faith-based concerts and retreats through the Array of Hope Ministry, where they met four years ago. The group tour over the summer and fall (see dates below) with more dates to be announced:
May 13 – Lyndhurst, NJ
