Alache, a twenty five year old singer/ songwriter, has always known the incredible power of music. Growing up as the Daughter of her father, a military officer and her mother, an international evangelist, she quickly learned the importance of having a strong message behind her music. While most were learning to talk at the age of 1 she was already singing her heart out.
Alache represents a new breed of inspirational pop/urban music. Her vision is to reach out to a lost generation, to become a shining light in the midst of darkness. With influences such as Miriam Makeba, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Areatha Franklin and many more, Alache adapted the soul of the old and blended it with the flare of the new. Her style is unique to say the least. Her sound is as rich and as colorful as the culture that runs through her veins.
Alache is African for "watchlady", and leading the youth of the world with a positive and uplifting message is exactly what she aims to do through every song she writes. Ever since the first time she stepped into the booth she knew that music was her calling. The path that has chosen her has been a long journey and is far from over. With her new cd she has finally found that perfect mix of commercially appealing music, laced with the genuinely earthy substance of her soul.
Truth, Love, and honesty are what make Alache stand out in this crowded industry of fake smiles and misleading music. Remembering her past she brings you a soulful blend of yesterday and looking to the future she brings a sound that will define a new era of R&B Music.

I am a suburban Nashville resident, though a transplant from the great state of Michigan (no Appalachian State comments please). I, like every other Nashville transplant, am a singer/songwriter who once had a dream. I still have a dream, only a different one. More importantly, I am a husband and a father. I am deeply Christian, but I don't speak the language.
I'm not particularly fond of vegetables. My favorite authors are Anne Lamott and C.S. Lewis. I do not like hunting, fishing, or winter. I do not like lakes, but I love the ocean. Not the beach, mind you, just the ocean. I am annoyed by people who flick their cigarette butts out the window of their car and onto the streets where we all must live together; but I am not confrontational so I never say anything.
U2 is the best band ever. The worst is probably Firehouse. I read Motor Trend magazine every month but do not have a subscription. I am hopeful. I try to do the right thing, but often fail. I can't figure God out. I probably do not try hard enough.
I watch golf on television. I want everyone to like me. I often apologize even though I am right. I love quotes. Eleanor Roosevelt once said "Do one thing each day that scares you..." An example of that for me would be trusting God to catch me when I jump. I'm currently staring over the edge... See you soon.

Luminate is a band from Tyler, TX that was formed in the fall of 2005 by two students attending Visible School of Music in Memphis, TN. They officially launched their full-time musical career with their self-titled EP and an extensive Midwest tour including festivals, high schools, camps, all-age venues and churches.
Their second CD release, "Bright and Beautiful" (2007) brought a new and fresh outlook on their ministry and drive. In June 2008 the band put out their third independent release "Miracle". It speaks of the urgency of rising up against the mediocrity of today's view of the Christian walk and lifestyle. The record stresses that our time to act is now. It's Our Time to embrace hope, destiny and a revolutionary relationship with our Creator.
Best described as passionate, stirring and worshipful, LUMINATE's musical core is formed around an ambient rock sound. Their songs challenge us to rise above the apathy in today's society, and to pursue our dreams with purpose, while reminding us our lives and what we do has worth.
Singer/lyricist/rhythm guitarist, Sam Hancock, writes poignant and meaningful lyrics with anthemic choruses that usher crowds into a corporate experience with God. Lead guitarist, Cody Clark, complements the melodies with reverb and delay-laden guitar riffs, while keyboardist/background vocalist, Dustin DeLong, adds ambient warm touches. Mix in the rhythmic bass lines of bassist, Dusty Jakubik, and the power of drummer, Aaron Mathew, and a song of vision, faith and thirst for God is sung.

I believe that music speaks to people in ways that mere words cannot. Somehow it breaks through walls and barriers, and reaches down into a person's core. What an awesome tool we have been given to share the Love and Good News of our Lord. Originally created by God, I believe that music should above all be used to praise and glorify Him. "I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.�Ps.108:3)
EightDaysLater is a Nashville based, four piece rock group. Its audio signal, based on raw edge and energy, draws on many elements to characterize its sound and form. Straight ahead rock, urban symphonic flair, and flashes of punk-ish passion, fuel the gospel of pop and soul to a heady height of adventurous sonic and spiritual pondering.
Drawing nods from such musical influences as U2, Incubus, Black Crows, and My Chemical Romance, EightDaysLater casts itself into the proverbial stewing pot, to form a new flavor that excites and intrigues the listener and concert comer alike.
Their faith challenges their views and forms much of the basis for their material, assessing social and political climates; as well as fodder for their own introspective journey. Their music and lyrics send out a call - a call for the voice to be louder, the soul to reach higher, truth to be sought, and love proclaimed.

Building 429's INO RECORDS DEBUT!!
IMPACTING AC, CHR & INSPO AUGUST 22!!!
Some artists are a slow burn, quietly honing their skills while churning out albums of craftsman-quality tunes, and slowly building an intensely loyal fan base through commitment and perseverance. Other artists seem to drop into the public consciousness fully formed, their debut project so perfectly crafted that you wonder where they came from ... and where they could possibly go from here. Then, occasionally, you find an artist like Building 429, who epitomizes both traits – the proverbial ten years in the making overnight success.

"Because I still have many struggles in my life, even as a child of God, the subject matter of most of my songs tends to gravitate towards struggle. I want people to know that pain is not working against us. It brings us closer to the one who knows pain better than anyone else... Jesus Christ." Joy
Joy Whitlock: A Short Biography
Every prodigal has their own story of redemption. This story just happens to take place in a cold and dark movie theater that was probably showing Ben Stiller’s Along Came Polly just the week before. With tears streaming down her lightly freckled cheeks, legs and feet curled up to her chest – a safe distance from the stickiness of a dried cola stained floor – in a hideously colored synthetic-cloth covered seat, Joy Whitlock’s life changed forever.
Joy grew up in Mississippi, in a number of towns that only differed by the names they were given a few hundred years before. Her father was a minister, which was the reason for the Whitlock family’s pilgrimage through the Magnolia state one small town at a time moving from one flock to the next. If every flock needed a black sheep, Joy readily filled that role maybe too eagerly seeking to numb a pain that could only be healed by the One who created her. “I tried to fill the emptiness I felt with anything that numbed or felt like love – drugs… promiscuity… the usual stuff.” She looks back with regret now at the pain she caused her mother and father as well as the embarrassment she subjected them to with her actions, a theme she touches on in the standout track “Faith Don’t Fail.”
The good news is that for Joy, God was not content to watch his child aimlessly self-medicate her pain any longer and saw fit to write himself into her story. You see, God finally caught up to the then 21 year-old in Memphis, Tennessee where she had spent the past four years living with her sister after leaving her home in Mississippi at age 17. “I think He had been trying to show me something… my own emptiness, for the whole year leading up to that point,” Joy remembers the night. “And from the first scene of the movie, it was like the goggles were taken off and I could see clearly – all that I had ever done – lay on His back to bear.”
The scene Joy so vividly recounts is from Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ. The film, most well known for it’s controversial filmmaker and boycotts from various groups, was widely championed by evangelicals or ‘believers’, including Joy’s own mother. “She drove up to Memphis for a visit and convinced me and my sister and her husband to go see it. I was nervous. It’s not exactly a movie you look forward to seeing. But I went and accepted Jesus that night. I didn’t wait to leave and get to the parking lot or nothing.” In a way, God and a Girl had its beginning on that night in Memphis.
Joy’s musical journey started a little over ten years ago when as a teenager she moved from the home of the blues to the birthplace of rock and roll. Equally symbolic the seminal moment in her young career came at a large outdoor music festival. In the late nineties, it was hard to not notice the brand of rock that Sarah Mclachlan was spreading across the country with Lilith Fair and the traveling band of female singer/songwriters and rockers that made up the festival’s bill.
Joy and her sister drove the 212 miles to Nashville that summer and when Mclachlan took the stage, alone in the milky spotlight, Joy felt something she had never known before. “I was mesmerized, paralyzed,” Joy remembers. “Every word, every note, every stroke of her guitar awakened something inside of me.”
You know the rest of the story. Girl asks parents to buy her a guitar that she doesn’t know how to play. Girl gets a job at local music store. Girl meets other musicians and starts band. But in all seriousness, that evening in the summer of 1997 truly did awaken in Joy the artist that she would become and is today. “I am so in love with words, melody and the creation of songs. Music evokes so many feelings. It inspires. It dreams its own dream. It can set you on top of the world. And it can break your heart. But it makes you feel, and that is what I love.”
That simple and pure acknowledgment of the impact that music can have on ones life is also evident when watching Joy perform. Diminutive and spunky, she stands alone on stage, an artist incapable of insincerity, with a voice that cannot tell a lie while holding a guitar. She confidently yet humbly shares her songs, songs that chronicle her four year relationship with God. And the songs did not come easily Joy confesses, “I had to go through stuff to get these songs. I’m not the kind of writer that sits down and says this is what I’m going to write about today and does it. These songs came out of my struggles and questions that I’ve dealt with and some that I still deal with.”
Honesty and struggle are found all throughout God and a Girl and so are love and redemption. But Joy often points out, that even in the Christian walk one does not avoid the pitfalls, snares and even tragedies of life. “Because I still have many struggles in my life, even as a child of God, the subject matter of most of my songs tends to gravitate towards struggle. I want people to know that pain is not working against us. It brings us closer to the one who knows pain better than anyone else...Jesus Christ.” Whitlock’s first single “Holding Onto Me” portrays this process by saying “Life pushes out/ It pulls me in/ The ride is wilder than the wind/ Why would I worry when/ You’re holding on to me.” This is what Joy refers to as the “sanctity of suffering” – a phrase as provocative as the lyrics that embody its essence. God and a Girl encapsulates all that you would expect from Joy Whitlock after knowing her background. The honest rawness of the lyric that harkens the spirit of a Flannery O’Conner short story on “Faith Don’t Fail” where Joy says “I wish I didn’t know what I know / These memories are like hands around my throat / It’s what keeps me in / It’s what keeps me out / Oh faith don’t fail me now.”
The plaintiff’s prayer that is “Testify,” has Joy speaking on behalf of all who have fallen short of the glory with a chorus that begs of Jesus to “Testify for me / ‘cause I’ve nothing to say for myself / I’ve wasted your time and held on with all my might / to this losing hand I’ve been dealt.” And later in the same song she pleads, “whether I struggle or go in peace / all that I ask / is let it be You that I see.”
It is this brand of gut wrenching honesty in her life and in her music that has endeared her to so many, because after all as she states, “people want to know that they are not alone, they want to know that they are not the only one with hurts.” That is in one sentence the theme and narrative of the past four years and the heart of the 14 songs on God and a Girl. Joy Whitlock writes with the voice of a prophet, the humility of a prodigal and with a heart wrapped in redemption.

Mary-Kathryn, known for creating strongly sacred and spiritual vocal music, dreams of world unity and has visions of all humankind fully-accepting each other’s traditions, languages and religious beliefs. Thus the title of her fourth album, Dreams & Visions, encourages everyone to have faith in the future.
“People need to appreciate everyone else and understand that diverse cultures and a different heritage makes our world a much more colorful and interesting place,” says Mary-Kathryn. “No one should have to hide their beliefs or apologize for who they are. We might even find common goals such as pushing for peace or caring for the planet. We are all on a spiritual journey and should respect each other.”
Mary-Kathryn is a unique voice. She is one of today’s few musical artists to sing deeply spiritual lyrics over a world music-influenced sound that also includes elements of world music and adult pop. Mary-Kathrynhas built a loyal following that appreciates her gentle yet passionate vocals, the mysticism of her music and the prophetic nature of her lyrics which have a broad-based sacredness to them.
On the Dreams & Visions project, Mary-Kathrynblends elements of soft pop, rock and folk with world music influences as diverse as the continents to create a spiritual amalgam that transcends musical boundaries and she delves even deeper into the world music realm, painting word pictures on an aural canvas with exotic instrumentation, adroit production, and lyrics that are God-inspired. But as Billboard Magazine’s reviewer so aptly put it, “the most affecting instrument…is Mary-Kathryn’s lovely voice.”

I wish you could’ve been at my most recent birthday party, tripping back
through time, my life in pictures on the screen. That blonde little tom-girl
looking out at the camera, so unsure of herself. That young woman in love
with the man of her dreams, holding tight to his arm, happiness oozing out
every pore of her body. The tears that fell, seeing all those pictures of my
strong, unforgettable Trent, who now lives in heaven. The young widow on
stage in front of thousands, learning to breathe, beginning to dance again.
The world-travels of a goofball, laughing her way across the world, mugging
for the camera on planes and trains, drenched in the ocean, standing on top of mountains.
The seasons of my life flashed before my eyes—the joy, the pain, the mourning, the morning—I
wish you could’ve seen it. Because if you could, you’d see how far I’ve come. You’d see how
strong I’ve become. You’d know it’s only by God’s grace and power that I stand here. That I
do anything at all.
But even before this birthday milestone, I knew I was ready to go there. I knew I was strong
enough to lay it all out on the table for the world to hear, to express myself artistically in a
whole new way, and to spill open my heart like never before.
Produced by Bernie Herms, Doug Beiden, Stephen Marshall and Brian Steckler, Stronger is
nothing short of my testimony. It’s my story. It’s both a peek into my personal journal, as well as
a response to what women and girls all over the world have shared with me. Women who are
in seemingly impossible situations—adultery, divorce, abuse, trying to start over, trying to
conceive, trying to hold on to faith when God seems silent. Stronger is my way of speaking life,
saying, ‘Hold on to the truth that God will see you through this circumstance. Embrace all the
possibilities of tomorrow, today. I’ve lived through the darkest of hours. I know what the other
side looks like. And you can take me at my word. It’s not perfect, but it can still be glorious.
Rain On Me
I’m comin’ out from underneath
Oh, can you see I’m breakin’ free
Lord I love how you save me…
It’s been 6.5 years since I lost Trent, and there are days when I stare with disbelief at the cards I’ve been
dealt, but every day, every season, every year, I’m stronger.
Each day is a new chance to bloom, to let go of the past and embrace all of the possibilities of today
and tomorrow. To be alive and growing! So come rain on me Jesus. Cover me and fill me with Your
presence.
This song celebrates the absolute truth of who Christ is in our lives. In all the craziness, in the brokenness,
in those dark places, He empowers us to come out from underneath and live in the light of His promises. We just have to be willing to receive what He has for us.

Artist: Morning Will Break Song: It's You CD: Morning Will Break - EP Genre: chr/rock Label:Indevo Records Homepage
Born in Lake County, Illinois, Christian rock band, Morning Will Break got their start playing local shows and church worship sets. Without professional guidance and looking to gain some valuable experience the band entered a national talent contest, Band with a Mission, in August 2007. Despite playing a lackluster show, their young age and budding talent caught the attention of judge, Austin Cook. In the following months Cook, of Indevo Records, worked with Morning Will Break to help them develop their sound. In December of 2007 the band began recording their first EP, produced by Cook.
Now, with their EP complete, Morning Will Break is shifting their focus towards playing live shows. Their goal for each performance is to not only share their music, but to spread hope to a hopeless generation; a hope they’ve found in Christ. They come to the stage with a message of purpose and redemption, something each of them have experienced firsthand. In lead singer Skyler Herman’s case the lesson came after a summer of struggling with anorexia. Her own self hatred and helplessness in the situation forced her into the arms of God where she found acceptance and love. Through her daily battles Skyler learned to rely heavily on the Lord, “Food, self image and confidence are things I will always struggle with, but where I am weak God is so strong! I know I am nothing without Him…I need to depend on Him.”
Morning Will Break continues to evolve musically and write new songs in the anticipation of recording a full-length album in the near future.
LYRICS
Erase the past and watch it fly
I run to you and spill my heart out, cry out
How did I get so far from here
The selfish things I thought I wanted make me, consume me
Don't You fade away
Don't You fade away
'Cause it's You that I'm searching for
And it's You I’ve been waiting for
All night, all night
'Cause it's You that I'm searching for
And it's You I've been waiting for
All night, All night
I watch the days go passing by
I run away from you I fall down, break down
You call me out and take my hand
When I don't understand it’s OK, You make it OK
Don't You fade away
No, don't You fade away
'Cause it's You that I'm searching for
And it's You I've been waiting for
All night, all night
And it's You that I'm searching for
And it's You I've been waiting for
All night, All night
Don't You fade away
No, don't You fade away
'Cause it's You that I'm searching for
And it's You I've been waiting for
All night, all night 'Cause it's You that I'm searching for
And it's You I've been waiting for
All night, All night
Cause it's You that I’m searching for
And it's You I've been waiting for
All night, all night
And It's You that I'm searching for
And It's You I've been waiting for

Artist: Adam McInnis Song: Wherever You Are CD: Wherever You Are Genre: chr Label: High Wire Music Homepage
IMPACTING CHR RADIO JULY 21st!!!
ADAM MCINNIS BIO
Adam McInnis is going for broke. Forget material sacrifices, the Austin-based singer is using his wealth of culture, experiences and inspiration to make Wherever You Are one of
the richest debut albums in years.
Wherever You Are – produced by Will Hoffman (Flyleaf) and Dwight Baker with
select tracks co-produced by Adam McInnis – features epic poetry set to the energy of '70s rock, the passion of Motor City soul and the conviction of golden age gospel. There
are touches of vintage Greenwich Village folk, Piano Man-powered ivory keys and Stones-style dramatic choruses.
Self-described as "alternative rock meets singersongwriter
soul," McInnis can even marry the sounds of Peter Gabriel and Ray Charles or Ben Harper and Cat Stevens without ever losing his own musical identity. And the faithfilled
singer ties it all together with a genuine message of hope.
"A lot of what comes through is hope," explains McInnis, who mastered his storytelling style as a script writing major in college. "I talk about real life with all its ups and downs, but I believe new doors will open if you have hope."
The title track, written in a flush of inspiration following a moment of prayer, epitomizes this hope as a spiritual love song set to acoustic guitars, harmonies and loads of melodic energy.
"Fall Into Me," the first song he ever wrote for his own music career, tackles the essence of beauty atop understated funky beats and swipes of electric guitar distortion, while "Say a Little Prayer" fires up the Hammond organ for a soulful anthem that would make Stevie Wonder proud.
Wherever You Are closes with the ambitious "I'm the One," a Phil Collins- and Genesis-channeling dance-floor love song narrated from the perspective of the Creator.
McInnis even tackles his own salvation story with "Since I Spoke Your Name." He explains, "This is a song about salvation, about letting Him in. Like many people,
there were times early in my life where I considered a relationship with Christ but didn’t commit. Since walking through that door, nothing has ever been the same."
The album's 12 tracks cover a lot of territory – from the amped-up rock of "Take
These Wings" to the somber piano ballad "Forever Love" – yet it all fits together as a true
perfect dozen. This songwriting feat comes naturally to McInnis, though, as a young man
who's already walked countless roads far and wide.
Born in Manhattan, McInnis grew up in a spiritually and culturally rich
environment.
His Black Scottish and American Indian father was a bold gospel evangelist
and his Russian mother a classically trained folk and opera singer. As a child, his parents
exposed him to international artists and gospel churches, and he spent his youth in the
Big Apple during one of its major music renaissances.
"There aren't many singer-songwriters who can say they were born into such a
hip-hop environment," he explains. "I'm a mixture of cultures from a big city where I saw
big things happen."
Tragically, at age 15, the only son became the man of the house when his father
passed away. McInnis recalls, "My mother worked far away so I had to take care of
myself and watch over other family members that stayed with us, and I wasn't ready for
that at age 15. I had to grow up fast and it created a lot of anger issues in me. I wasn't
sure of religion anymore."
Though he struggled through his remaining teen years, McInnis rekindled his faith
at age 20. "On the surface, I was achieving the things that I had dreamed about when I
was young, but I felt completely hollow. I remember sitting in my apartment one night,
thinking about my father and the things he used to say when I was young, and I just fell
into prayer. I invited Jesus into my life and asked for something that was real and truly
fulfilling. That night, I had a dream. I was standing on stage playing guitar for a huge
enthusiastic crowd, but at the time I didn't play an instrument or even really sing for that
matter! I took this dream to heart and saw it as a sign that this is what I should do with
my life; that this was a way that I could touch people’s lives in a positive way."
McInnis' music talents broke into the national spotlight thanks to a pair of TV
shows – he emerged victorious in Joe Simpson's songwriting competition Score and beat
out 30,000 other artists to join the 11-person ensemble The One: Making of a Music Star.
Now living in Los Angeles, McInnis explored every music opportunity, from promoting a
live music club night to working as a producer/engineer to writing songs for other artists.
He even became Musical Director at a music camp for children of celebrities like Tommy
Hilfiger, Bruce Willis and Leeza Gibbons.
McInnis' music career took an unexpected turn, however, when he paid a visit to
Austin, the live music capital of the world. Inspired by the vibrant scene and passionate
performances, the singer packed his bags and headed for Longhorn country.
"When you see people playing music because they love it – not because they want
to be famous – you realize why you love playing again," McInnis explains. \"It makes you
want to write more songs, play more shows and explore more styles."
In Austin, McInnis went from playing coffee shops to packing clubs in short time,
and the abundance of live performance opportunities gave the singer an incredible live
show to match his undeniable song craft. After releasing an indie EP, McInnis was finally
ready to put all these life experiences into Wherever You Are, a full-length debut that's
stunningly close to his heart.
“When you honestly put all of your emotions and feelings and experiences into
the songs, it becomes something real," says McInnis.
And that's exactly what Adam McInnis did with Wherever You Are, an
adventurous debut whose scope runs as deep as it does wide.
