About Andraé Crouch:
Andraé’s accolades include 7 Grammy Awards, 6 GMA Dove Awards, an Academy Award nomination for "The Color Purple," induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Hagees Showcase Labor Of Love June 10

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Love, the latest studio recording from one of Gospel music’s most beloved families, The Hagees, bows June 10 from Difference Media (Capitol Christian Distribution). Produced by multi-Dove Award winner Aaron Crabb (Aaron & Amanda Crabb, Canton Junction), the 12-song set features original selections as well as new arrangements of timeless favorites.
Highlights of Love include the classic, “Precious Lord, Take My Hand,” featuring Pastor John Hagee, group patriarch and world-renowned evangelist; the contemporary country “When Love Comes To Town” (feat. Matthew Hagee); “That’s What Love Looks Like” (feat. Sandy Parker); the powerful affirmation of “I’ll Never Leave You” (feat. Tina Ketterling); and the Dottie Rambo-penned “I’ve Never Been This Homesick Before,” also featuring Pastor John Hagee and showcasing guest vocals from Dove Award-winning quartet Canton Junction.
The Hagees’ Sandy Parker says of the album’s overarching theme, “The song ‘That’s What Love Looks Like’ is a poignant tune about different types of love: the love of a spouse, the love of a mother, the love of a Savior. Ultimately, love is what we feel for each other as a family, our music is a labor of love, and we sing about a Savior who loves us more than we could ask, hope or imagine. Love encapsulates all of that, and I hope the project communicates the same to its listeners. To know that someone may experience the love of God as a result of listening to our music is a humbling thing that feeds my soul.”
“It is always the most fun to sing with my family,” she adds. “No matter how old we get or how many kids we have, at the end of the day when we sing together, everything else goes away and it’s just my dad, my siblings and me singing about Jesus.”
Comprised of Pastor John Hagee, his son Pastor Matthew Hagee, and daughters Sandy Parker and Tina Ketterling, The Hagees’ storied Gospel career has spanned more than two decades, boasting multiple acclaimed recordings and international appearances.
A world-renowned evangelist and best-selling author, Pastor John Hagee is founder and senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas. A non-denominational evangelical church with more than 20,000 active members, Cornerstone is home to John Hagee Ministries, which telecasts Pastor Hagee’s radio and television teachings throughout America and to more than 190 countries around the globe. The ministry also operates GETV, a 24/7 online television and video on-demand broadcast of sermons and original programming (getv.org).
Difference Media, a division of Cornerstone Church, features some of the leading names in Gospel music, including Aaron & Amanda Crabb, Canton Junction, Matthew Hagee, Tim Duncan, The Cornerstone Sanctuary Choir, John Hagee and The Hagees.

Three Bridges to Create Concept Video of “Forgive Myself”

Franklin, TN (February 28, 2013) – Mansion Entertainment, home of GRAMMY and Dove award nominated artists, is happy to announce the creation of a new concept video for Three Bridges’ latest single, “Forgive Myself”.
The story of God’s forgiveness is one that Christians know well; however, knowing something on an academic level and completely understanding it on a personal level are two different things. “Forgive Myself”, written by John Lemonis and Amy Keffer, covers this very message and has had a lasting impact on everyone who has heard it. Shannon Smith, who sings lead on “Forgive Myself”, stated that “When we perform this song people are obviously moved by it – you can almost see a healing take place. It’s amazing to see what God can do through a three or four minute song.”
Bill Traylor, President of Mansion Entertainment, states, “Mansion is so pleased to have the opportunity to work with the talented writers John Lemonis and Amy Keffer, and their penning of the song “Forgive Myself”. Upon hearing the demo, I felt immediately that this song would have a tremendous ministry impact and who better to perform this then the talented group, Three Bridges. A video was a natural outgrowth. I expect this video and this song to minister to people across the globe with its important message and we are grateful to be the company to provide this strong message”.
The new concept video will air on Mansion Entertainment shows, “Sing out America”, “Nashville Country Revival” and “Spiritfest”, as well as, on Mansion’s TV network, PEBN.

Perrys Release DVD "Celebrate Me Home"

From The Perrys Online Newsletter, July 18, 2012:

Hey Everybody!!!

Yes, we are still a live!! We know it's been forever since you've heard from us, but it seems time just gets away from us day by day! But, everyone is doing well and kicking! :0)

We will start by bringing you up to date on what's been going on and some new product that has been released lately.

One exciting thing that happened back in April of this year, happened at the Gospel Music Association Dove Awards in Atlanta, GA. The Perrys won their first ever Dove Award for Southern Gospel Song of the Year with CELEBRATE ME HOME, written by Wayne Haun and Joel Lindsey!! We were in Myrtle Beach, SC at the Singing in the Sun when we received the call that it had won! We were BEYOND excited! Celebrate Me Home (Blue Skies project) was also nominated in the top 5 over-all GMA Song of the Year along with Casting Crowns, Jason Crabb and Laura Story. This was truly a blessing from God and all praise, glory and honor belongs to HIM!

For the first time in six years The Perrys have finally released a brand new DVD, recorded live in Nashville, TN at Oak Tree Studios, CELEBRATE ME HOME. This DVD has songs from a mixture of our recordings. Some of the songs are: Plan of Salvation, Potter Knows the Clay, Great is Thy Faithfulness, Celebrate Me Home, If You Knew Him, Every Time I Need Him and others. This DVD contains interviews from each member of The Perrys along with behind the scenes stories. Celebrate Me Home is now available from our website: www.perrysministries.com.

We've received a bunch of email asking about how Tracy's health has been. Tracy is doing incredible! He is coming up on the two year anniversary of his open heart surgery and is a 100 lbs lighter! He has picked back up on golfing and says the movement of the game has helped him work out a lot of the soreness in chest muscles. We give God all the praise for bringing Tracy this far! Thanks for all the prayers!

The Perrys are in the middle of working on a new project set to release in the fall. We will give you more details on the release date, songs and title as we get everything completed. We are hoping to have pre-releases at NQC in Louisville, KY in September. Speaking of new projects, Lib's solo project "JOURNEY" is doing great! She has a single out to radio on "JESUS HOLD MY HAND." Please call your local Gospel station and request this song along with The Perry's new single, Every Time I Need Him which is currently at #4 on the Singing News Charts.

GORDON MOTE, RSI RECORDING ARTIST, FEATURED IN COUNTRY WEEKLY

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 14, 2012) – RSI recording artist, Gordon Mote, is featured in Country Weekly magazine’s “The Pro File” section in the February 20, 2012 issue on newsstands now.

Country Weekly journalist Jessica Nicholson's recent interview covered Gordon's life of music including his work as one of Nashville's most in-demand studio session players. In the article, Gordon recalls memories of working with Lee Greenwood (his first job in the music business), Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Lionel Ritchie, Rascal Flatts and more.

Totally blind from birth, Gordon Mote began playing piano as a young three-year-old on Thanksgiving day when he shocked his parents by playing “Jesus Loves Me” on the piano. Named the 2009 and 2011 Keyboard/Piano Player of the Year by the Academy of Country Music after seven consecutive nominations, and a Gospel Music Association Dove award winner, Gordon has met and exceeded some of his wildest dreams. He has quickly joined the ranks of gospel music’s most entertaining stage personalities. A brilliant performer, insightful songwriter and prodigious musician, Gordon’s physical blindness somehow attunes his other senses more keenly and fuels his vision for bringing honor to Christ through his music.

His latest release Songs I Grew Up Singing is in stores now and available online at iTunes, Amazon and more.

Gordon is actively touring as a solo artist along with appearing on the Gaither Homecoming tours. Be sure to check out Gordon’s schedule at www.GordonMote.com.

GUY PENROD CELEBRATES UNFORGETTABLE 2011

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—For Guy Penrod, one of gospel music’s best-loved vocalists, 2011 marked a year filled with unforgettable milestones.  Led by the continued multi-genre success of his 2010 solo debut, Breathe Deep, Penrod’s visibility and acclaim experienced new heights within both the Christian and Country Music arenas.

Penrod is ending the year on a high note, having made his debut solo appearance on The Grand Ole Opry last month. As part of the Opry’s special Veteran’s Day show, the award-winning vocalist performed his current mainstream country single, “More Power To Ya,” and “Breathe Deep,” on the historic stage of Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.

In addition, other unforgettable moments for Guy Penrod in 2011 include:

• Induction into the Texas Gospel Music Hall of Fame
• Dove Award Nominations for Country Album of the Year and Country Recorded Song of the Year (“Are You The One”)
• ICM Award Nomination for Male Vocalist of the Year
• 80 concert performances across the US
• Numerous dates in Europe and Canada

“2011 will go down as a year that my family and I will not soon forget,” said Penrod.  “Whether it was learning about the Dove and ICM nominations; hearing our songs played on both Christian and Country radio; or stepping foot on the Opry stage, those are all moments to remember.  However, none of that tops the support and love I felt from those we sang to across the country.  It is my prayer we were able to, in turn, provide them with encouragement and hope for their own journeys.”

Penrod’s acclaimed 2010 Servant Records/Gaither Music Group solo debut, Breathe Deep, continues to be a benchmark for country recordings within the Christian marketplace.  Breathe Deep has sold more than 75,000 units to date, and has yielded successful singles in both mainstream country and southern gospel radio formats.

During his 14 years with the GRAMMY® and Dove Award-winning Gaither Vocal Band, Penrod performed before more than 5 million people on Bill & Gloria Gaither’s Homecoming Tours and was featured on Gaither television specials airing on multiple networks.  The Gaither Homecoming series and The Gaither Vocal Band sold more than 20 million CDs and DVDs while Penrod was a member.  Prior to joining the Vocal Band, Penrod was a highly sought-after studio singer in Nashville and appeared for three years on TNN’s popular “Music City Tonight” as a vocalist in the house band.

Penrod is looking forward to a full touring schedule in 2012, including performances at churches, theatres and special events throughout the country, as well as a European tour next summer.  For a complete tour schedule and additional information, visit www.guypenrod.com.

HisSong Announces Michael Frost As New Baritone Vocalist

Dove Award nominated HisSong is proud to announce as their new Baritone singer/songwriter Michael Frost. Michael has a long history in southern gospel music.

HisSong owner/manager Dennis Humphries states, "We are very excited to have Michael a part of this ministry and team. I have known Michael for several years and have always loved his singing, songwriting and his spirit. I'm excited to see what God has in store for this ministry."

Michael Jason Frost grew up singing gospel music with his family in upper East Tennessee. By the time he was a teenager, he was harmonizing with his cousins and traveling on weekends across the southeast with a family band, The Frost Family. That band evolved into a vocal trio, The Frosts, that did well in the southern gospel music industry with widespread radio airplay and charting singles. The trio enjoyed success from 2002 - 2005 and earned a Singing News Fan Award nomination in 2005.

As a songwriter, Michael has had cuts by several of gospel music's most popular artists, including a new release on Ivan Parker's latest project HisSong, The Wilburns, Heirline and more. Many of his songs have climbed The Singing News Top 40 chart. Michael was named "Songwriter of the Year" in 2007 by the Eddie Crook Company.

In 2006, Michael was cast in an original musical production about the life of Christ called "The Miracle" at The Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, TN. Michael signed on for every season of The Miracle, where he played various roles from John the Baptist to Judas, and as an understudy to the role of Jesus. He also served as host and pre-show soloist. Michael appeared in more than 2,000 performances of The Miracle until the show ended its run in October 2011. Michael also appeared in the theater's production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," starring alongside American Idol's Melinda Doolittle.

After The Miracle ended it's run, Michael officially joined popular southern gospel trio, HisSong in October 2011 as their full-time baritone singer.

"I'm amazed by God's timing. Just when The Miracle closed after six years, God opened the door for me to sing with HisSong. I've known these guys for years, and I've always loved their sound and their songs. It's an honor to join their ministry and I'm excited to see where God will take us from here," Michael said.
Michael and his wife Jen have one daughter, Jael Esther Frost. They reside in Sevierville, TN.

HisSong is currently working on a brand new project with multi Dove Award winning producer Wayne Haun on the Vine/Crossroads label. This will be the 4th project with Wayne. This is HisSong's 10 year anniversary and the new record will be called "Decade."
