From jazz to beat-boxing, and reggae to country, this band is unlike most bands out there today. Hailing from Niagara Falls, Ontario, where they got their start performing Gospel songs in front of a martini bar crowd on a weekly basis, NewWorldSon is the kind of band that manages to connect the Christian message with people who normally wouldn't set foot inside a church. Over 6,000 people have viewed this excellent article on ChristianMusicDaily.com, and with the release of NewWorldSon's newest concoction of PopGospelSoul, my guess is thousands more will; and seeing that all four members share their thoughts, this is one of the few places on the web to get so in-depth with the band-- doesn't hurt that ChristianMusicDaily.com's owner, Mark Weber, who owns over 4,000 CDs, counts NewWorldSon as his ALL TIME favorite band! :) Artists - Interviews Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.christianmusicdaily.com/content/view/367/64/ Christian Music Daily: EMI Gospel will release the all-new project REVEALED ... Live In Dallas from Myron Butler Levi on March 30, 2010. Recorded live in his hometown of Dallas, TX, Butler and long time vocal group, Levi, take their signature brand of urban praise and worship to a whole new level. Butler's first live album features a balance of distinct urban contemporary praise songs with Sunday morning ready church songs. Butler presents REVEALED ... Live In Dallas as a way for listeners to lyrically and spiritually connect to knowing who God is and to reveal God's character. The lead single and title track Revealed kick off the project in high-gear with excited energy. The song is a call to God for His glory and His presence. REVEALED ... Live In Dallas is a musical experience that audiences can both participate in and enjoy. I created this album to be something the church can touch; something praise worship teams can duplicate and sing in their church every Sunday morning, said Butler. Artists - News Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:36:14 +0100 http://www.christianmusicdaily.com/content/view/366/64/ Christian Music Daily's Mark Weber discovered the coolest artist on ReverbNation.com and decided to interview him. His name is Gavin Mart and he lives in Leeds, United Kingdom. His music is thoughtful, serene, gritty and mesmerizing-- ladies and gentleman this is one of those diamonds in the rough who once you hear you'll be hooked.CMD- Who is Gavin Mart?GM- Well without boring you too much, I’m a trained artist living in Leeds, UK. I’m married with no kids. I am lover of the arts and passionate about singer-songwriters who are able to tear themselves away from the mainstream and deliver the goods in an honest and craftsman-like fashion. I choose to live in an area of the city which is unpretentious, warm, poor, and honest; I hope that reflects in my work as a result. I prefer music that is meant to ‘say’ something rather than cream the ears-- although a combination of the two will double the delight.CMD- I noticed Matt Redman was listed among your influences. He's known here in the States as one of the world's foremost writer of worship songs. What's your take on Christianity? GM- I wouldn’t say Matt Redman was an influence; I’ve worked with him on several occasions, and even played drums for him. He fascinated me when I played with him. He had an intensity, an earnestness, and an honesty that I simply wasn’t expecting. Many of the other people I worked with at the time came across with a professional get-the-job-done attitude-- Matt was a breath of fresh air, the real deal; it stuck with me. You don’t have enough web space to hear my take on Christianity. I was raised in the church and was pioneered as a youth leader early in my teens. I was even invited down to Westminster at one point to share my opinions on faith with a load of Ministers of Parliament (government officials). Somehow the bubble burst for me and I found myself desperate to breathe and experience the world in my own fashion. I wanted to know what I really believed for myself. I ultimately found a depth of faith which I don’t think I could have found without going through that process. I thoroughly believe through my own experience that if you spend time with the poor you will get to meet Jesus.

After his wife and band mates discover his secret life offstage, Johnny C’s life begins to fall apart. Coached by his mentor Proff (Livgren) and a crazy homeless man Tom Wright (World Trade Center, Barbershop), he begins a journey back home to rebuild what is left of his family and home life.Written and directed by Daniel Millican, THE IMPOSTER was a story that needed to be told. “This movie was made for the church,” explains Millican. “I find the closer I pull to Jesus, slowly the masks come off and masquerades end. Hopefully this movie will help viewers choose to find their identity in Jesus.”The DVD, which includes bonus featurettes including Unmasking The Characters, Full Music Videos of Believe (In An Act), Empty, Carry On Wayward Son, and Study Guide Scenes, will be available at all major Christian stores on February 23, 2010.For more information or media resources for THE IMPOSTER, visit: www.pureflix.com/imposter (http://www.pureflix.com/imposter) Features - News Thu, 18 Feb 2010 09:14:14 +0100 http://www.christianmusicdaily.com/content/view/361/64/ Christian Music Daily: Dove Award winning group Austin's Bridge is gearing up to release their highly anticipated sophomore project, Times Like These, May 4, 2010. The CD was produced by Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts). At the same time, Austin's Bridge has signed with Jeff Robert and Associates for booking and Patton House Entertainment for management. Rarely does an artist come along that is so gifted, genuine and extremely talented,” says DeMarcus. “It was an absolute joy to make this record, as not only can these guys sing their tails off, they are truly anointed. Austin's Bridge has a big, bright future. It was not only a privilege and an honor to work with Jay DeMarcus,” says Austin's Bridge, “but it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to absorb an experience that cannot be taught in any classroom or conference. We went into every studio session like little sponges, ready to soak up every morsel of information we could. Jay brings not only a lot of talent to the recording process, but a lifetime of proven success as well. We can't wait to get this project out to a listening audience and we look forward to continuing to work with Jay on future projects. Artists - News Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:20:02 +0100
