Everybody’s favourite gospel jam band newworldson performed at a mid-week concert last month as part of Compassion International’s leadership summit. The band played for approximately 120 attendees, including Compassion International’s executive leadership.
The band’s latest release, Salvation Station, has been a critics choice and garnered the first five-star review of 2008 from Christianity Today. Says the magazine, “There’s a special intangible to Newworldson that stems from their talent… It’s called fun, and it’s something that’s been largely missing from Christian music as of late.”
With a sound as diverse as their homeland, newworldson is musically re-inventing what it means to be Canadian. The band, comprised of singer-songwriter Joel Parisien, drummer Mark Rogers, bassist Rich Moore and guitarist/vocalist Josh Toal, seamlessly weaves soul, funk, reggae and Gospel into a unique tapestry.
The band won a 2007 GMA Canada Covenant Award for New Artist Of The Year while their debut, Roots Revolution, won for Best Folk/Roots Album. Roots Revolution was also nominated for a 2008 Juno Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year.
Salvation Station is now available at Canadian Christian retailers. Visit the band’s YMZ artist page to find out why people are buzzing about this album.
