AVALON REACHES #1, FOR THE 22ND TIME!   Nashville, TN - December 8, 2009 - Avalon has achieved something that very few artists have garnered in their musical careers. For the 22nd time in the group's 15-year history, Avalon has reached the #1 spot with their single, "Arise." The hit song, which is top of the Billboard Soft AC-Inspo chart, is from the group's current release, REBORN, which hit shelves September 15th (E1 Entertainment).  "We are thrilled our latest single 'Arise' is blessing so many people," exclaims member Janna Long. "What a great reminder of the abundant life God calls us to." "Arise" has also been added to over 30 more stations across the nation, including American Family Radio and the FamilyLife Network. It's been in the top 5 on the Billboard Soft AC-Inspo chart for 12 weeks, and has also charted on the INSPO, Indicator AC and Monitored AC stations.  "All of us at E1 Entertainment join in congratulating Avalon on the #1 single, 'Arise,' from their groundbreaking album REBORN," states Jim Sturgeon, E1 Entertainment. "I want to thank Christian radio for their continued support of Avalon over the past 15 years. Get ready for the new single 'Alive,' coming in January."  Since its release, REBORN has achieved much acclaim, with stellar reviews from outlets such as ChristianMusicToday.com, GospelMusicChannel.com, Soul-Audio.com, and AlphaOmegaNews.org. All Music Guide claimed, "Hands down, Reborn is the best album Avalon has released this decade," while JesusFreakHideout.com stated, "Avalon is still one of the best in their game."     Just days after wrapping up their "An Evening with Selah & Avalon," the group will perform two more concerts - December 12th in Tallahassee, FL and Dec. 13th in Hollywood, FL - before the year's end. For more tour information, please visitwww.Avalonlive.com.

Wow...what a weekend I just had. I spent Sat. morning in the studio with country legend, Charley Pride. He recorded one of my songs for a multi-artist project called "This Is My America". My writing buddies Bill Shore, David Wills and myself wrote a song for the project called "Roll on Mississippi" and had the honor of having Charley put the lead vocal on it..What a great singer and awesome man. Then I found out that I have 2 new singles released to Christian radio. One is titled "Lord" from a project that I wrote with Ian Eskelin and Tony Wood. Mark Stuart of Audio A makes his return to radio on this tune. And then my friends Decemberadio released the first single from their new album. The song, "For Your Glory" is a tune that I wrote with Josh and Brian from D-radio and the producer Scotty Wilbanks. Listen for both of those on your local Christian radio station. God is good and I'm just trying to be faithful....for He is Faithful.
