Seasoned Accomplished Band

Artist commenced In: 1987

Award-winning singer/songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman released ALL THINGS NEW, his 14th record with Sparrow Records, on September 21, 2004. Coinciding with the new project, Chapman commenced his U.S. "All Things New Tour" in October 2004 and will tour through to April 2005.

ALL THINGS NEW is not only the project's title, it's also the theme that interweaves the album. Utilising his unique skills in observing daily life, plus Scripture reading and prayer, Chapman's conception of ALL THINGS NEW was created. It is also inspired by sermons from his pastor, and the writings of John Piper and Philip Yancey, well known christian authors.

Sharing his thought process on the creation of his 14th recording in 17 years in the music business, Chapman stated, "Lately I've come to realise that God will forever be making all things new. I'm only starting to know who God really is because He continues to reveal more and more of Himself to me every day. He gives us new seasons, He gives us a new 24 hours each day, He gives us a new sunrise. All of these things continue to remind us that He is the renewer of all things." Praise God for Steven Chapman and his christian influence across the world. Lives will be changed and souls kingdom bound instead of hell bound.

All Things New album includes the following songs

Up and Coming Christian Female Artist

Bethany Dillion is the middle child in a musical family. 15 year old Bethany has been singing since she could speak. Her songwriting style and ability does reveal a maturity beyond her young 15 yo age. A reasonable voice equally at home amongst soaring strings or crashing guitars. Her message is one of encouragement and understanding for those women and men on a journey with God.

Thoughtful, moving, poignant and enriching songs. Bethany Dillon is one artist whose self-titled debut looks into the themes of the modern Christian's heart and journey to Christ's kingdom from the first song.

In her songs 'Beautiful,' 'Great Big Mystery,' and 'Revolutionaries' Bethany illustrates good song writing ability and accessible acoustic guitar sound allows music listeners of all ages to appreciate her God given talents. I'm sure increasingly better songs to come from this girl soon to be woman in the future. "All I Need" illustrates her ability and is my favourite song on the album.

Album Songs include A Voice Calling Out, Aimless, All I Need, Beautiful, Exodus, Faithful and For My Love.

Seasoned Accomplished Christian Band

In 1995 a fresh-out-of-college band called "Jars of Clay" hit the ground running. First single, "Flood", smashed the Christian/mainstream radio barrier and set an excellent standard for Christian music heard today.

Jars of Clay were unaware at the time that their self-titled debut would eventually sell over 2 million copies. Their album gained them a double-platinum status, more than any other Christian group or artist at the time. Their popularity and high standards of musical excellence have continued.

Band Members: Dan Haseltine (vocals), Matt Odmark (guitar), Stephen Mason (bass), and Charlie Lowell (keyboard)

The Band's Name:- 1 Corinthians 4:verse 7 explains how the group adopted their name: "We have this treasure in earthen vessels (Jars of Clay) to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us."

Show you Love song. Dan Haseltine vocalist said "this is a song we wrote as we were looking at two things - the African HIV / Aids emergency and the current rise in worship music. We have come to know that worship is formative."
