NASHVILLE, Tenn. –
Sunday Edition, one
of Nashville’s favorite groups, is excited to announce
the addition of Christina Dallas Jones to the group.
Christina joins the group immediately and made her debut
appearance with Sunday Edition on November 18, 2011 as a
part of the USAGEM Convention and Awards Show.
“We are very excited to be adding
such a seasoned and talented vocalist to our group,”
mentioned Deon Unthank of Sunday Edition. “Christina
is a class act, and we know that people are going to love
the sound that she brings to our group.”
Deon continued, “Due to changes
in our family over the last year with the passing of my wife
and my subsequent remarriage, Amy’s move to the St.
Louis area, and Chris’ recent marriage, the dynamic of
our group was in for a major shift. No one is leaving the
group, but adding Christina to our ministry will help us
relieve some of the stress that having all three of us
living in separate areas can create.”
Christina Dallas Jones is the wife of
Mark209’s Jym Howe. She has a strong background in
musical theater and opera.
Christina said, “I first began
meeting the Unthank family shortly after my arrival to
Nashville four years ago. I soon found that they were
not only charming and warm, but well respected people in the
community. I have since developed a personal
friendship with them all. After being exposed to
Gospel music through my now husband, I grew an appreciation
for their ministry. I had quietly prayed and searched
for a group to join with whom I felt I would fit. With
my musical background in opera, theatre, jazz, and pop, I
would not fit with just any
Gospel group. When Deon called,
it thrilled me. I have always enjoyed the styling of
Sunday Edition and I love Chris’ vocal technique.
It is a privilege to sing with such a wonderful
Christian family.”
With the addition of Christina, Sunday
Edition is open to expanding their boundaries into new
territories and ministry events. The group is currently
booking for all time periods in 2012 and beyond. For more

Sunday Edition has had a stellar year.
The group was recently honored with three nominations in the
United States Associated of Gospel Entertainers &
Musicians (USAGEM) Annual Awards Show. Sunday Edition
received two nominations as a group – New Artist of
the Year and
Gospel Entertainer of the Year. In addition, the group’s
lead vocalist Chris Unthank was named in the Male
Vocalist of the Year
category.
The group also earned two nominations
in the 2011 SGM Fan Awards – including Favorite
Album for
Sunday Worship
and Favorite Baritone for group patriarch Deon Unthank.
The About.com readers also nominated the group for
Best Southern Gospel Group in the 2011 Readers’ Choice
Awards. The group was nominated alongside industry mainstays
Gaither Vocal Band, The Isaacs, The Hoppers, and Ernie Haase
& Signature Sound.
Sunday Edition’s new single,
“Lift Up Your Eyes” (written by group member Amy
Marie Unthank with Rebecca J. Peck), will ship Southern
Gospel and Christian country radio at the first of the year.
The group is currently writing material and choosing songs
for their highly anticipated new mainline release. More
information on that will be released at a later date.
