Channing Eleton Releases Hot New Video

Dalton, GA (July 23, 2014) Don't miss out on Channing Eleton's hot new video release in support of his fresh radio single “Big Top” which is on his new independent CD release, Fredericksburg. This song has been in the making for quite a few years. It gives a southern sound with Channing's Gospel piano playing and singing causing it to be a smooth listen. The video will remind you of the old days when a big top tent and metal chairs were a sure sign of a tent revival where many miracles were expected to happen.

Eleton said "As you can see, I had a pretty vivid imagination growing up. I was fascinated with all the details of those old tents and camp-meetings I attended as a kid." Channing continued stating "I actually began writing the song back in June of 2008. I had been invited to come play at a tent revival that was actually out 'on the county line' of where I live. It brought back all these great memories I remembered as a kid...the music, the preaching, playing in the sawdust, standing in line for cotton candy and ice cream... I could go on and on."

Channing also commented “The people in the video are friends and family of mine. The Preacher, David Cummings, is a close friend to my wife and I. He actually introduced me to my wife 17 years ago, of which we've been married 15. This is a fun song and video that will have some reminiscing. For others, I'll be introducing for the very first time this very unique slice of Americana."

This magnificent video was produced and directed by Kim White of ViewFinders, Inc.

Channing Eleton Comes To Agreement With AG Publicity

Dalton, GA (October 10, 2013) Award winning talent, Channing Eleton, has come to an agreement with AG Publicity. Channing who is well known for piano artistry is now showing his wares as a phenomenal vocalist as well.

Eleton won several awards for his musicianship while traveling with Gold City Quartet and Poet Voices. His opportunities were limited as far as his incredible vocal talents being displayed. With his Country and Americana blend he has a voice that is going to attract fans from a lot of genres.

Channing stated “I have been working for the past five years, trying to get established as a viable singer. I think I am at the point that a publicity firm with the credibility of AG Publicity can get me the exposure I need to set my ministry and career on another level.”

Channing's last CD featured a few of his own songs, but the new project he is working on is proof that he has yet moved a step in another direction. Deon Unthank of AG Publicity commented “Channing has been know for years as a great musician, recently he has established himself as an equally impressive singer, but now the stage is set to show his talents as the prolific songwriter that he is. I recently had the opportunity to hear some of his new music, and he just blew me away. This man has the real goods.”

Eleton is working on that new CD and expects to have it complete shortly after the first of the year. Anticipation is already building to hear what he can do with his own music.

News from Channing Eleton

From Channing Eleton's email newsletter of August 6, 2013:

Can you feel it? The last fleeting days of summer are passing us by. Not sure I'm quite ready for it just yet. I'm writing this from the last couple days of my family's summer vacation. I'm trying to soak it up and breathe it all in.

I will say this has been one of the busiest summers, if not the busiest, since I've been in the music biz. We've had some amazing concerts this year and have met many new friends. After five years of doing solo work, I feel I'm starting to get my "sea legs"...so to speak. God has done so many great things this year.

As I reflect on the first half of 2013, I recall some big doors that opened for me. I also remember some big breakthroughs within me. God is up to something, I'm just trying to be obedient to follow
Him in each step I take.


NEW CD

We're progressing on the new recording and I'm loving the sound and feel of it. I'm truly proud of these new songs God has blessed me to write. I'm thinking the new record will be called Fredericksburg. I know, I know...You're probably saying to yourself, "Fredericksburg? What does that mean?"

All I can say, at this point is, it's my life in four minutes. And I think once you hear it, many of you will be able to relate. Just hang on, it will be worth the wait...


TOUR DATES

I'm starting to work on my 2014 schedule. Please email me if you'd like me to come play at your event or church. Bookings are the most challenging part of what I do. I am asking for your help.

Most importantly, please pray for this area of my ministry.

UNTIL NEXT MONTH

I absolutely love what I do what a passion. I believe in what I'm doing with everything in me. You know why? Because I know I'm doing exactly what God has called me to do.

When you find yourself in the middle of God's will for your life, there's peace. Though the waters may be unchartered and rough at times, there is peace.

Jesus never promised that we would not have hard times. But, He promised that He would NEVER leave us.

Whatever you are facing today, remember there is a wonderful Savior that loves you and is walking right beside you. Don't give up!


Please, above all, pray for me. Pray for my family. Thank you.

God bless you Friend! Keep dreaming and keep believing!

Song of a Lifetime Experience Is Underway

Cross Music Group, Chattanooga, TN {June 28, 2013} The Song of a Lifetime Experience kicked off with great success last night in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Four legendary, multi-award winning songwriters, Phil Cross, Mark Bishop, Gerald Crabb and Squire Parsons accompanied by Channing Eleton were well received in a packed out Temple Baptist Church. The Song of a Lifetime Experience continues throughout the weekend at the home church of Squire Parsons, Trinity Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina tonight and then moves to Avalon Church in McDonough, Georgia on Saturday night.

“Last night was a dream come true,” stated Phil Cross. “It truly was amazing to be on stage with not only my friends, but songwriters I respect and admire. It was an incredible and moving experience as each songwriter shared their songs and some stories behind the songs. Channing Eleton did a fabulous job at the piano tying everything all together. We appreciate the staff at my home church, Temple Baptist for doing an incredible job hosting the first Song of a Lifetime Experience and also the choir for doing a great job as well. We’re looking forward to more Song of a Lifetime events.”

Gerald Crabb added, “One thing that makes the Song of a Lifetime Experience special is that each songwriter has a unique personality, musical style and songwriting style. Being that we sang mostly with just Channing at the piano, the heart of the songwriter was revealed and the focus was on the message of the songs. The audience responded well to this approach and sang along with us. That was awesome!”

During the evening, Cross, Crabb, Bishop and Parsons showcased house-hold favorite songs including “Please Forgive Me, “ “I Am Redeemed,” “Can I Pray For You,” “Sweet Beulah Land,” “Through the Fire,” “My Name Is Jesus,” “Champion of Love,” and “He’s The Master of the Sea,” plus many more. Some selections were accompanied by the Temple Baptist orchestra and choir.

The Song of a Lifetime Experience will be captured during the McDonough, Georgia concert and DVDs will be made available at a future date. For more information about Song of a Lifetime, visit http://songofalifetime.net/.
