This week’s premieres explore the heavy and lighter side of music.

With three new member in the band including guitarist Andrew Welch (formerly of Capital Lights), guitarist Micah Sannan (formerly of Falling Up) and Israel Beachy (formerly of Staple), Disciple deliveres their most commercial record to date. Southern Hospitality marries accessible melodies along side their signature hard hitting rock sound.

Original guitarist Brad Noah stepped down from full-time touring with Disciple as the result of long-term health issues. He decided, however, to continue writing and recording with the band and according to lead singer Kevin Young, “was finally able to embrace his inner guitar hero.”

Disciple uses their triumphs and failures to craft songs that challenge, confront and comfort us in our faith.

Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Fernando Ortega releases his first ever Christmas CD, Christmas Songs.

Known for writing music as if it were the soundtrack to our lives, this holiday album features 10 vocal and instrumental tracks of Christmas classics performed as only Ortega can.
