Life just feels like a whirlwind when I think of all that has happened over the course of last year and this year so far. This February marked one year since my husband Scott started to show symptoms of a condition called Labyrinthitis (Vertigo). Doctors are still scratching their heads as to what caused it.

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Matthew West is back with a new CD called Something To Say, his highly anticipated third studio recording and first project in more than two years. Produced by Brown Bannister, Ed Cash and Christopher Stevens, the album is West’s Sparrow Records debut and follows a life-changing year for the artist. 

Author, songwriter, poet. Mitch McVicker is all of these and dreams of more--like creating his own travel documentary and playing a tuba.

Some of his dreams have come true. But, Mitch McVicker knows those dreams could have been stripped away in a single day in 1997 when his best friend, Rich Mullins, was killed in an automobile accident. McVicker's voice (in the same accident) was changed forever.

Culled from the pages of Shane Barnard’s journal, duo Shane & Shane’s latest project, Pages, documents a personal season of change and re-evaluation. It also charts a subtle refinement and maturing of the duo's college-friendly acoustic worship style, ranging from the powerful “Vision Of You” and “In You” to the rousing “Burn Us Up,” the bluegrass-kissed “Beg,” and the worshipful pop anthem, “We Love You, Jesus.”
