Here's what's happening TODAY in Christian music...
1. Earlier this year
Tenth Avenue North shot a documentary while on the road. The result is "Lead Us Through The Fight," a transparent, behind the scenes short film featuring the band. You can find it
here on videographer Alex Currie's YouTube page.
2. One of the co-writers on
for KING & COUNTRY's hit song "Proof of Your Love", Jonathan Lee, recently lost his grandfather in very unfortunate circumstances, so the band has dedicated that
song's video to the grandfather, Lee Kendrick.
3. While some bands are getting played on ESPN, other bands are just as excited to see their merch on broadcasts.
Relient K fans spotted a fan wearing a band T-shirt on a recent episode of Sportscenter. The band was excited enough about it to
share it on social.
4.
Carlos Whittaker has a special project coming. While in Seattle, he asked 100 people what the greatest moment of their life has been. He said he was expecting maybe 75 of them to ignore him. 100 of them answered and 10 of them cried.
5.
Moriah Peters was on Fox & Friends earlier this week, where she was asked about how she has had to stand up for purity and what she believed in, particularly when she tried out for American Idol once upon a time. You can see the interview
here.
6. Just in time for fall,
Building 429 has released a new song "Ocean Deep." Or maybe they're going to be in some areas where you can swim until October. Check out an acoustic version of the song
here on the band's Facebook page.
7. Rapper
Andy Mineo was calling people himself to give them a chance to win tickets to his upcoming
Uncomfortable Tour, asking them to name 4 songs from his
Neverland EP within 10 seconds to win. The two recordings he shared showed fans unable to name the tracks (and thus, unable to win the tickets).
8. Happy birthday to the oldest sibling in the talented Thulin family,
Jeanette Thulin Claesson, who turned 40 yesterday. A former recording artist in her own right, Jeanette is of course the eldest sibling to
David Thulin and youngest brother
Jonathan Thulin.
