Rock and Worship Roadshow

http://t.boyd.net/25y6;b4157 MERCYME: Since their debut in 2001, Grammy-nominated, American Music Award and multiple GMA Dove Award winners MercyMe have sold over 5 million units in CD and DVD sales, including Almost There, nearly triple platinum, Spoken For, which is approaching platinum sales, and the RIAA Gold certification for Undone, the MercyMe Live DVD, and Coming Up to Breathe. Recently, Billboard named MercyMes Word Of God Speak the No. 1 Song of The Decade and the group the No. 1 Christian Songs Artist of the Decade. DAVID CROWDER *BAND: Church Music is the follow-up to David Crowder*Bands 2007 release of Remedy. Along with the groups 6 GMA Dove Awards and 17 nominations, they are the first Christian artist to be named MSN.coms Artist of the Year in 2006. Despite the success, David Crowder*Band makes it a point to get back to University Baptist Church on most Sundays, a church they helped found on the campus of Baylor University in Waco, TX. The band is also featured at the enormously popular Passion gatherings. FAMILY FORCE FIVE: Formerly known as The Brothers Olds, Family Force Five have been doing things their way since the bands inception nearly 10 years ago. In follow-up to their debut album Business Up Front, Party In The Back (2006), FF5 released their sophomore release Dance or Die on their record label Transparent Media Group in 2008. Dance was a near-perfect amalgam of dense grooves (Radiator), synthesizer-driven funk (the title track), techno-pop nostalgia (How In The World) and inspired emo (The First Time) that seemingly erased the lines of demarcation between dirty rock clubs and cosmopolitan dancefloors. FEE: From national worship conferences to local youth group meetings, the GMA Dove nominated Fee has brought a new level of abandon and talent to rock worship, gifting todays church with riveting songs of praise. The band has been associated with some of todays most forthcoming faith-based events including Passion, 7:22 and Catalyst conferences. Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Steve Fee, Matt Adkins, Heath Balltzglier and Brandon Coker still lead worship at the North Point Community Church. Fee released their sophomore project Hope Rising in the fall of 2009. The newest album contains the successful digital and radio single Glory to God Forever. www.feeband.com FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI: This New York City-born singer and songwriter has been going non-stop since her debut project, My Paper Heart, released last summer on Fervent/Reprise Records, which boasts the #1 hit for multiple weeks, "Free to be Me." The single reached an unheard of #1 on four radio charts, and is also the first #1 song from a female at AC radio since 2005. This ranks her as the most added female artist and new artist in Christian radio history. She was named one of iTunes' best new artists of 2008 within the Christian/Gospel category and received accolades for her single "I'm Letting Go" as the #3 "Best iTunes Song" of the year. REMEDY DRIVE: There's a passionate honesty to middle America - it's deep-rooted and straightforward. Few places embody that better than Lincoln, Nebraska, home to Word/Warner Bros. newest rock outfit, Remedy Drive. A four-piece, four-brother band (David, Philip, Paul and Dan Zach), Remedy Drive has been cranking out their own brand of music as a full time indie for the past 5 years. SIDEWALK PROPHETS: As one of Christian music's fastest rising new bands, Sidewalk Prophets highly anticipated debut record These Simple Truths scanned more than 25,000 copies since releasing in August 2009. Their first single, "The Words I Would Say" made a huge impact at radio holding the #1 at AC Indicator for 5 weeks in a row.
