Tuesday Lunch Mix

Tuesday Lunch Mix
Gospel Music Week: Entry Eight (Tuesday 4/21)

This year's Tuesday luncheon roster was comprised primarily of EMI artists, with a few New Day and Provident artists thrown in for good measure. We heard from established artists like Mandisa, Canton Jones, Crabb Revival and MercyMe, as well 3-songs sets from new artists like Press Play and Steve Petree. Petree has been a member and primary songwriter for mainstream band Shiny Toy Guns, and has recently left the band to pursue a solo career in the Christian market. His debut album, "Moving in Pairs", is slated for a July 28th release, and if the songs we heard ("Getting to Know You", "Run On" and "Stars Tipped Over") are any indication, they this is going to be a truly phenomenal album. Steve pens compelling lyrics, intricate and engaging melodies, and his vocals are emotive and innovative.
I'm a big fan of getting a chance to hear from new artists, so this luncheon was a real treat.
