Following five bestselling projects, nine consecutive No. 1 Christian singles and four back-to-back mainstream radio hits, the multi platinum and GRAMMY®-nominated band MercyMe returns with their next batch of hook-filled and emotionally grabbing songs on All That Is Within Me due November 20th.

Produced by Brown Bannister and recorded at Cider Mountain studio and ranch in Idaho (with strings recorded at London’s famed Abbey Road Studio), the band offers an album of songs “straight from scripture” says lead singer/songwriter Bart Millard. The record features worshipful moments like God With Us, You Reign, and Sanctified alongside very personal songs like Finally Home. Finally Home captures Millard’s thoughts about what he’ll tell his earthly father (who died from cancer several years ago) about his life and how he’ll greet his heavenly Father. Full of energetic moments, this record nonetheless touches the heart of the church in a very real emotional and personal way.

L to R: Marc Dodd, Dan Muckala, Brad Wigg, Josh Havens, and Matt Fuqua

The Afters are slated to release their highly-anticipated sophomore project on December 26th with Never Going Back To OK.

The former Starbucks baristas turned GMA new artists of the year are recording again with producer Dan Muckala (TobyMac, MercyMe, Nick Lachey). With their debut project, The Afters received top attention from their fans and media outlets. The Afters’ music appeared as a theme song for a MTV reality show along with being heard on mtvU, ABC Family, and E! News as well as on HOT AC and VH-1 radio along with outlets such as Billboard, BOP and Popstar. They also received a MTVU Woody Award and their song Beautiful Love was the most downloaded song of CCM in 2006.

Sara Groves’ latest project, Tell Me What You Know, due out November 6th is also being produced by Brown Bannister (who also produced her critically-acclaimed CD Add to the Beauty). Groves is hoping that when listening to this record, people will be moved by the joy of getting to be involved in God’s kingdom and will think critically about their relationship to their neighbours and to the world. In addition to many songs Groves penned herself, she also co-wrote several, including one with Charlie Peacock called In the Girl and a closing song with Gordon Kennedy (co-writer of Change Your World) called You Are Wonderful.

L to R: Phil Wickham and Pete Kipley

Phil Wickham is releasing his sophomore project, Cannons, on October 2nd. With Wickham’s loyal and dedicated following, this project, produced by Pete Kipley, is poised to propel him to the forefront of Christian music. The combination of up-tempo pop, powerful worship and poignant lyrics are promising to take the church and fans alike to the next step up from his wildly-acclaimed debut self-titled project. Phil kicks off the release of the record with a 25+ city tour with David Crowder.
