June Staff Picks at Arrowhead!

While the summer months can be slower in terms of music releases, it's a great time to catch up on great music that you may have missed. Since opinions are like bellybuttons, we've all got one, so here are our opinions on great music that you simply don't want to miss out on!

Dave's Top Pick is Mike Farris' "Shout Live", an infectious blend of blues, gospel and classic Orleans jazz. Dave is also enjoying the music of Decyfer Down, newworldson, Robert Randolph and Red, and is looking forward to new tunes from Leeland and TFK.

Christy Nockel's triumphant return with "Life Light Up", a new batch of fresh worship tunes given texture by her passionate vocals, earned her accolades as Abby's Top Pick. Abby is looking forward to new music from Selah and Aaron Shust, and is enjoying current tunes from Mat Kearney, Newsboys and Rachel Scott.

Josh's Top Pick is the self-titled $5 intro EP from alt/rock act Abandon. Josh is also digging the sounds of Devil Wears Prada, Drawing Room, Emery and Philmont, and is looking forward to fresh tunes from Neon Horse and Project 86.

Jars of Clay's "Long Fall Back to Earth" is the Top Pick of music dept receiving diva/den mother Ellen. She's also enjoying the diverse sounds of Capital Lights, Charlie Hall and Laura Story, while eagerly anticipating the audio goodness of Robin Mark and Ginny Owens.

"Let the Road Pave Itself" an organic, no-frills project by Phillip LaRue is Mike's Top Pick. Mike is looking forward to new projects from 1000 Generations, Britt Nicole and Steve Petree, while CD's from Lanae Hale, Kari Jobe and Jason Allen Rich are keeping uplifting melodies running through his head.

Well, there you have it! More great music than you can shake a stick at! Hopefully, you found a name or two that are unfamiliar to you, that you can give a listen to online or here in the store, and find some great new tunes for your summertime travels. Peace. -Mike & the crew @ Arrowhead Parable Music
