MercyMe

MercyMe

Contemporary Christian icons MercyMe won the hearts of millions with its hit song, “I Can Only Imagine,” a heart-wrenchingly personal song penned by band frontman Bart Millard following his father’s early death. When the song hit the charts over 10 years ago, the band catapulted onto the Christian music scene with immense success, including 19 number one singles, over 5 million records sold, four Dove Awards, and two Grammy Award nominations.

The Texas-based band has entertained millions throughout their career with their unique brand of worshipful rock music, including other hit singles, “Here With Me,” “You Reign,” and “Finally Home.” Their thoughtful songs have become a comfort and an inspiration to those struggling with the loss of loved ones. Their newest album, “The Generous Mr. Lovewell,” featuring the single “All of Creation,” will be released May 4.

Newsboys

Newsboys

Since Newsboys’ first album released in 1988, the Contemporary Christian band has recorded 25 number one pop hits, won two Dove awards, received several Grammy nominations, and sold over 6 million records with hits like “You Are My King,” “Shine,” “He Reigns,” and “Something Beautiful.” With the addition of new front man and vocalist Michael Tait, the Newsboys are being “Born Again” through an eclectic mix of worshipful and upbeat songs grounded in strong faith.

Their new album “Born Again,” set to release on June 8, will feature worshipful songs such as “We Remember” and “Running to You” as well as songs that chronicle the band’s journey together and their new direction with Tait as lead vocalist. “Boys Light Up” and the title track, “Born Again” are both reflective of their desire to lead men to trust in God’s plan, and their passion for the compelling power of music.
