ARTIST OF THE DAY
Laura Story
Laura Story won a GRAMMY and several Dove Awards for her song Blessings. Her lyrics remind us that God works in ways that we would prefer He didn't - but that His ways are truly better. It was a hard learned lesson. For several years Laura has walked a dark path with her husband Martin Elvington. Just a year after they married Martin was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He was kept alive with a breathing machine and surgeons operated multiple times trying to save his life. Through the process Martin lost much of his vision and continues to suffer severe memory loss.
Like the story of Job, God has poured out tremendous blessing on Laura and her family after a very difficult time. Laura and Martin welcomed their first child last Summer (daughter, Josie). She continues to serve at a mega-church in Atlanta where she teaches a new generation how to lead worship. Plus Laura has a new album out and gets to tour with her family in tow.

ARTIST OF THE DAY
Rachael Lampa
Rachael Lampa was born in Ann Arbor, MI and grew up in a tightly knit family just outside of Boulder, CO. As a family, they clung to Christ through hard times, including job losses and divorce. Through the hard times, God used Rachael's voice to inspire and bring healing. And it was her voice that landed her a Word Recording contract at the age of 14.
The next 8 years of Rachael's life were filled with recording, touring, promoting - a crazy travel schedule that stretched right through adolescence. Some of her adventures included an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The View, ET, CNN, the privilege of recording at Abbey Road Studios in London, and a performance for the Pope in Rome in 2000.
After a few years of rest and searching, Rachael Lampa got married, started writing music again, moved to Nashville and recorded All We Need.
Fun Fact: Rachael starred as Sally in the Christian DVD Hidden Secrets, co-starring John Schneider (from The Dukes of Hazzard).

ARTIST OF THE DAY
Meredith Andrews
Meredith Andrews was working as the worship leader at Chicago's Harvest Bible Chapel when she was picked up by Word Records. Her debut album The Invitation propelled her into the spotlight, landed her a tour with Michael W. Smith and multiple Dove Award nominations.
That was in 2008. Flash forward 5 years and she's now a veteran of the industry. She's got three hit albums under her belt - She's won Dove Awards, toured the world, gotten married, had two sons and continues to win new fans with her approachable worship music and kind spirit, evident in every show.
A native of Wilson, NC, she began singing in church when she was only six-years-old, and by the time she was in high school, she was writing songs and leading worship. Andrews went on to attend Liberty University, majoring in family and child development. Meredith originally planned to work at an orphanage. However, during her junior year at Liberty, she felt God calling her into music ministry.

Steve & Shawn
Steve & Shawn travel full-time leading worship, teaching on worship, and doing hands-on training sessions for worship teams (your people, your equipment) for all areas (instrumentalists, vocalists, songwriters, and technical). Our teaching is funny, practical, and encouraging. Their goal is to equip the local church - rather than have them be our audience.
Their music is diverse, modern, and scalable, from small and intimate to high energy and loud. Steve is 6’6” tall, a photographer, an mc, a triathlete and a wanna-be chef. Shawn is Steve's wife and a lover of all things mocha. She also has a piano performance degree. Together they have 2 sons and served together as youth pastors for over 6 years in their local church.
Linguistics: Steve & Shawn also minister in Spanish.

ARTIST OF THE DAY
Hillsong UNITED
With the familiar faces of worship leaders Joel Houston, Jad Gillies, JD and Matt Crocker upfront, the UNITED team (one of several worship bands out of Hillsong church in Sydney, Australia) has become an evolving collaboration of pastors, worship leaders, musicians and songwriters, all bound by the common goal of giving voice to a generation who is passionate about God.
Committed to creating a musical expression that is almost uncomfortable in its uniqueness, their mission is to write songs that awaken churches and individuals to the fact that we are redeemed and called into the story of God.
"Our prayer is that people everywhere would catch this desire and run with it in the same way! Knowing God is with them, God is in control, and He will have His way." – Joel Houston

ARTIST OF THE DAY
Casting Crowns
Even as Casting Crowns has become Christian music's most successful act, Mark Hall and his fellow band members have continued working at their home churches.
After all the accolades, all the awards, all the time on the road and in the studio, why does Casting Crowns continue to do what they do? The answer is simple: It’s their calling – God’s calling on the lives of these seven committed and talented musicians. To pour their lives into the students and families God has placed in their paths. To set discipleship to music. To challenge and strengthen the body of Christ.
It’s what brought them together in the first place and what keeps them going.
Accolades: Since its launch in 2003 the band has garnered 14 GMA Dove Awards, three GRAMMY Awards and an American Music Award. In addition, the band has seen three RIAA Platinum Albums, two RIAA Platinum DVDs, two RIAA Gold Albums and two Gold DVDs. Casting Crowns has sold more than 8.2 million albums to date and has been named Billboard magazine's top-selling Christian act for the past four years.
Off Days: Ever wonder what artists do when they aren't busy with their own band? Well yesterday Mark Hall spoke at my old church in New Orleans - encouraging a group of young pastors. Then he went to see NEEDTOBREATHE in concert at the House of Blues!

The Neverclaim
The Neverclaim is a 6-man band of eclectic backgrounds, from one of the more eclectic cities in North America, Portland. Lead singer Jeremiah Carlson says, "“We all have different personalities and musical backgrounds, but we all really love people and believe God wants to steal their hearts with His love."
Jeremiah was a drummer for a Christian metal band who felt God calling him to lead worship. So he stepped down from metal and up to being a youth pastor. From within the youth group, Craigslist ads and friends of friends, The Neverclaim began to form.
Ultimately, The Neverclaim walks what it talks by living out Christian community with each other and those who encounter the band. With a powerful message of spiritual revival, the guys pray for and minister to the people in their path. Jeremiah also serves on the National Youth Task Force within the Vineyard Church Movement, committing a lot of his time, along with the band, to the organization’s mission of being an outpost of God’s compassionate love in a broken world.

ARTIST OF THE DAY
Salvador
Salvador is a jam band. More jazz influenced than anything else, they take the stage every night without a set list. They are prayed up and ready to see where the Holy Spirit will take them! The band hails from Texas and brings a country sensibility, with heavy Latin influences to their modern praise and worship music. And they are ok with a 10 minute guitar solo smack in the middle of the song!
Family Ties: Front man Nic Gozalez is married to Jaci Valasquez. It's safe to say that Christian music is their lifeblood.
It's been over four years since the award winning band created new music together. To spark the creative flame, Nic Gonzalez decided to go back to the very beginning. He transformed his garage into a band room - stringing up Christmas lights for effect, and covering everything with carpet to protect his neighbors ears. The band piled in and did what had done as teenagers - they practiced and practiced and wrote a ton of new songs.
Bi-Lingual: Salvador releases their albums in both English and Spanish.

FFH was orginally called Far From Home. Formed by Jeromy Deibler and Brian Smith in 1991 - the band added two more members: Jennifer Deibler (Jeromy's wife) and Michael Boggs. Working independently, FFH produced and released six albums, while maintaining a productive touring schedule. Ultimately, the quartet signed with Essential Records.
Brian Smith transitioned into other ministries and Michael Boggs launched a solo career, though still participates in FFH recordings. At the heart of the group is a family who has faced tremendous hardship. The Dieblers took time off from music in 2006 to serve in South Africa. While abroad, Jeromy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
FFH is back to business - having released several more albums since 2008. Their latest release is a bit of a departure for the stylistically-poppy group. The Way We Worship spotlights Jennifer's voice more than Jeromy - and has a rustic, almost-country charm. The concept of the album was born our of Jennifer loving to sing lullabies to her children, Hutch and Hope Sadie-Claire.
Home: The Dieblers make their home just outside of Nashville, TN - where they lead worship at Fellowship Bible Church when not touring with FFH.
