This week’s premieres feature the debut from a band who is finding radio success and the new live recording from one of Ireland’s best-loved worship leaders.

With one listen to the music of Tenth Avenue North, it becomes obvious that songwriter Mike Donehey and his band mates have a gift for expressing truth in a way that simultaneously educates, enlightens and entertains. They are as much teachers, as artists, demonstrating this through their intellectual, yet vulnerably accessible songs that echo the heart of the human condition and the hope of the risen Saviour.

Over And Underneath is the band’s major label debut album. “Love Is Here”, the band’s debut single, is currently in the Top 10 on R&R’s AC and CHR charts and is #5 on the Billboard Hot Christian Song chart and #8 in the Hot Christian AC chart. It is also featured on the WOW Hits 1 compilation.

Robin Mark, one of the world’s leading contemporary worship writers, led worship at The Mandate, one of Europe’s biggest men’s conferences, which took place at Belfast’s Odyssey Arena on November 17th, 2007.

A native of Northern Ireland, Mark lives in Belfast where he serves as director of worship at Christian Fellowship Church. He has already made a significant dent on the international scene with The Mandate series. This album was recorded live at the event. Join with nearly 4,000 men as Robin offers a moving set of both ancient and modern hymns plus some of his own contemporary tunes as well.

Over And Underneath will be specially priced at $14.99 when it arrives at your local Canadian Christian retailer this Tuesday, May 20th. Living The Adventure will be in stores on Tuesday, May 20th.
