With the completion of her first full-length project and an upcoming nationwide tour, 22-year-old Jenn Weber kicks off the spring with the anticipated release of World of Wonder. The project is the follow-up release to the 2005 EP titled Incomplete, But Understood and features top Nashville producers Gary Sadler and Jeff Pardo. World of Wonder is being featured at select Family Christian Stores, which is supporting the release through an end-cap campaign and in-store performances featuring Weber. "Bride," the first single from World of Wonder, is currently going for adds on Christian radio.

Relevant Worship is an organic collective of musicians from various towns and cities scattered across Western New York who've come together to create modern Christian music appealing to teens and twentysomethings who love God and want to express that with honesty, fervency and passion. Known throughout the United States and Canada, Relevant Worship is actually the result of two former rock bands, Elektromat and Adelaide, deciding that worshiping God was more important to band members than just putting on a good rock show.
