Informing and entertaining thousands of Christian music fans, execs
and musicians around the world with news and views since 2001, it's
Mark Weber's Christian Music Monthly
March 2006

(((Welcome)))
Hello from Mark Weber. Every Monday night since November 2005 I've
been going to Salter's Christian Music Studio to work on my debut CD
with Nathan Salter (www.nathansalter.com). I'd better ask my CD
producers to hurry up with the development of my debut pop-soul-
gospel project, because in 2006, there's going to be a changing of
the Christian music guard, and perhaps sooner than later the industry
will be ready for my
white/black/latino/asian/Catholic/evangelical/non-
denominational/bridge-building Kirk Franklin-meets-Kathy Troccoli-
meets-Scott Krippayne-meets-Anointed-meets-Nicole C.Mullen-meets-
Harry Connick, Jr. sound. Why, you ask? Well, let's see...

Audio Adrenaline, Petra, Watermark, Out of Eden, Tonex, and 4Him are
all "taking a break" or "ending." That's a lot of big names to bow
out of the Christian music scene. Interesting to note that less
Christian music was sold in 2005 than 2004. From what I hear, a lot
of people are asking, "Where are the `hot new acts?'" The last hot
new act was Casting Crowns, and that was a while ago. Plus, let's
consider that some of the top sellers like Michael W. Smith, Steven
Curtis Chapman, and CeCe Winans have been "in the game" for a long
time. Who is going to replace them? Who do you think has "the goods"
to sell a boat load of CDs and become legendary like the
aforementioned artists within the next decade or so? Email me your
response (it may be published next month)—send it to
christianmusicmonthly@.... Oh, and if you plan on letting me
know that David Phelps is your man, please don't email me, because
I've already received hundreds of emails from his fans letting me
know how much they love him, so I got the picture, and I'll do my
best to interview him for y'all...Amen? Amen!

(((Cover Story: Sanctus Real)))
By Gregory Rumburg

LAST YEAR, MEMBERS OF THE DOVE AWARD-WINNING SANCTUS REAL discovered
their greatest joy—making and playing music together as the best of
friends. Today, with the April 4 release of their third national
record, The Face of Love, Sanctus Real comes of age, pressing forward
to carry a compelling image of hope to an eager world. With this
album, the four-member, Toledo, Ohio-based rock band is poised for
2006 to be its breakout year.

The Face of Love contains hard-hitting songs portraying universal
themes of love, brokenness and the sometimes elusive sense of God's
presence. Inspired by real-life heartache and rediscovered joy, the
emotions behind each track are vulnerable and undisguised, making
this album the band's most accessible project. Further, Sanctus Real
members Matt Hammitt (lead vocals), Mark Graalman (drums), Chris
Rohman (guitars) welcome newest addition Dan Gartley (bass), a
protégé of producer Mark Townsend. Gartley replaces former bassist
Steve Goodrum.

Popularly known for its trio of chart-topping hits—"Everything About
You," "The Fight Song" and its cover of U2's "Beautiful Day"—Sanctus
Real's The Face of Love comes on the heels of two seasons on opposing
emotional poles, one of success and one of trial.

After the critically-touted Fight the Tide released almost two years
ago, Sanctus Real fired cleanly on all cylinders through the end of
2004. A relentlessly touring outfit, the band gained its first
headlining slot, and fans responded enthusiastically, especially
through popular online outlets like MySpace.com. Sanctus nabbed Radio
& Records' most played Christian rock band of the year title, and in
early 2005 it added four more Dove Award nominations to its success
tally. Further, with Graalman's first son about to be born and
guitarist Rohman preparing to be married, all indications pointed
toward another banner year for Sanctus Real.

Then, turning on a dime, life dropped absolute heartbreak into the
mix.

The "Fight the Tide" tour was drawing to a close and Graalman, a
stalwart family man like the others, elected to rejoin his wife
before their son was to be born. A couple days later, Benjamin was
born at a local Toledo hospital. But shockingly, two hours later and
one floor below the happy celebration, Graalman's father was
diagnosed with cancer. Tests proved there was nothing doctors could
do. Mark says, "I remember thinking, `God, what are you allowing to
happen here?'"

The news overwhelmed family and band alike. With limited time to
share with his father, Graalman came off the road indefinitely, and
the band was forced to continue with a replacement drummer to meet
its professional obligations.

Also at this time, the grandmother of vocalist Hammitt became gravely
ill. She eventually ended up in a local hospice care facility in a
room next door to Graalman's dying father. The final straw came when
the band's bass player at the time, Goodrum, decided leave to pursue
other interests. Kicked in the gut and breathless, the guys came face-
to-face with just how fragile and capricious relationships could be.
And despite being tapped later that spring for the band's first Dove
Award—2005's Modern Rock Album of the Year—Sanctus Real could barely
muster the will to write and record, let alone deliver the new album
its label anticipated.

"It was devastating dealing with these things and truckin' through
it," Graalman acknowledges. "We were backstage at the Doves, for
example, doing press interviews. Everyone was congratulating us,
which I was grateful for. But my dad had just died; my heart was very
far away from all the hype. And in the midst of all that was
happening we were supposed to be making a record and writing songs.
But we had nothing."

Enter producer Chris Stevens (tobyMac, Shawn McDonald), who helped
the band channel its complex emotions into songwriting, their grief-
stricken passion into powerful, emotive studio performances. Taking a
page from the Psalmist's playbook, the band found strength in
confessing to God its fears and frustrations. Peace began to replace
the guys' emptiness, and in their brokenness they found they could
again sense God's love. Combined, The Face of Love is the band's most
mature and personal record yet.

"All the lyrics we'd written shifted to the stuff we were going
through at this point," Hammitt says. Band members credit producer
Stevens for walking with them through their dark night of the soul
experience and coaching them to their strongest record yet. Rohman
says, "Chris was willing to put it all out there. He believed in the
songs and believed in this band."

The album's opening confessional and first radio single from the
album, "I'm Not Alright," locates the singer in desperate human
brokenness, requiring him to move closer to God for strength. "It's
been an unbelievably hard year for the band," drummer Graalman
reveals. "But we've learned to rely on God's grace, and we've learned
to be honest and transparent. Being honest and transparent means not
faking it. It has to be OK to say, `No, I'm not alright'."

Inspired by Brennan Manning's The Signature of Jesus, the album's
title track, "The Face of Love," became an unabashed anthem of
unconditional love.

"All the stuff we went through sparked an excitement for life and the
journey," Hammitt reveals. "We don't know what Jesus really looked
like, but we can know who Jesus is. We can then discover who we are
in Christ and hope beyond hope to become the face of love to all
those around us."

The final track, "Benjamin," adds an effective coda to The Face of
Love. A bittersweet tribute to Graalman's family, written by Hammitt,
the song recognizes that life is lived from dependence to dependence,
cradle to grave.

With The Face of Love, Sanctus Real recognizes change throughout life
is hard, even gut-wrenching. Yet it can finally usher empowering
expectations. More to the point, death does not get the final word.
Love does, and it happens every day, in a child's birth, in deciding
to press on searching for another chance—even in making music with
your best friends. This is the hope to start again, and in them are
images of love.

(((Brief Bits)))
* If you're like me, you loved "Alive" and "Youth of a Nation" by
hard rockin' P.O.D. Well, the band, made up of Sonny, Wuv, Traa, and
Turby, is back with a new CD, called "Testify." It released Jan. 24,
and the band appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Last Call
with Carson Daly, and MTV's Total Request Live. P.O.D.'s current
radio single is called "Goodbye For Now." It will be interesting to
see how many more CDs this veteran band will add to their career
sales of 7 million.

* Avalon can s-a-n-g. I saw them live in concert, and the group still
knows how to tear the roof off a joint. Their new CD is
called "Stand." They've visited radio stations, malls and popular
retail spots, performing for thousands at each stop to promote the
new release. The three-time Grammy nominated vocalists experienced a
crowd so large at the FYE store in Jacksonville, Florida, that
security ushered people into the store in groups of 10, so that they
did not exceed store capacity. The mall manager of an Atlanta area
promo tour stop noted that Avalon was the second largest event the
mall had ever hosted. Equally strong, enthusiastic crowds came to
welcome Avalon in Orlando, Spartanburg, SC, Charlotte, NC, and
Johnson City, TN. Jody McBrayer, Melissa Greene, Janna and Greg Long
were thrilled to see the crowds and stayed until the last autograph
was signed and the last photo was taken at each stop.

* A TV show called "JC Rocks" is intent on "making God famous
throughout the world." One of the great things about this show is
that it's seen on major secular TV stations in many markets at
reasonable, even important time slots (like 5pm). With that in mind,
please contribute financially to this show so it can continue to take
Christian music to places it needs to go. Here's the link to show
your support: http://jcrproductions.org/cmm

* Denver and the Mile High Orchestra has a two-disc set called "Live
at Long Hollow" on DVD out now. If you like flashy and energetic big
band music with a Christian message, you will like having this
concert for your home entertainment. Especially interesting are the
bonus features, including a candid interview with Denver Bierman, the
leader of the group, who talks about the group's obsession with
basketball. Later on, he sings to his newborn son, perched on top of
the piano. You will love this DVD. Visit www.denvermho.com for
details.

* As someone who gets hundreds of CDs a year, I'm always on the look
out for unusual ones so I can share them with you. Last summer, I got
a press release about "Christian Oldies: Heaven Bound," but they
never sent the CD to me until a month ago, and it's definitely a
stand-out CD from the rest of the crowded pack. Imagine taking
classic 1950s/60s doo-wop/pop hits and giving them Godly/Christian
lyrics…Joshua Records has put together Godly "oldies" on this disc,
with artists like Gene Chandler and Little Willie G. lending their
strong voices to the project. "You Make Me Feel Brand New," "The
Thrill Is Gone," "Only You," "Shout," and "Stand By Me" are just some
of the songs on "Christian Oldies: Heaven Bound." Get it at
www.bestbuy.com.

* Kingdom Bound Christian music festival will celebrate its 20th
year… with four top-notch headliners: MercyMe, Casting Crowns, Third
Day, and Newsboys. The annual event, which attracts some 70,000
people from all over the U.S. and Canada to Six Flags Darien Lake
amusement park and camping resort near Buffalo, NY, has tickets and
campsites available right now for the Aug. 6-9, 2006 celebration—call
800-461-4485 or visit itickets.com. For more info, please visit
www.kingdombound.org.

* "The Best Is Yet To Come," is an awesome Gospel song. It's just one
of many on "Finale," the final Tri-City Singers CD/DVD double disc
set releasing April 4. Culled from a live recording in Nov. 2005 in
Atlanta, "Finale" features guest performances by Daryl Coley, Walter
Hawkins, LaShun Pace, and Vanessa Bell Armstrong.

* Before David was a great King, he was just a boy with a pocket full
of rocks. Myrrh Records has re-launched with their first worship
offering, a band called Pocket Full of Rocks, with a CD
entitled "Song To The King," available March 14. Since 1995, the band
has been leading church worship services, and their music has turned
up on projects by Michael W. Smith ("Let It Rain") and Phillips,
Craig & Dean ("Let The Worshippers Arise"). If you like Casting
Crowns, you will like Pocket Full of Rocks.

* Derek Webb's third CD with INO Records, "Mockingbird," is the kind
of CD made for people without pretension. Webb is known for wearing a
plain white t-shirt, a lot. He's also known for "calling out" The
Church with what he thinks needs improving among believers. I'd bet
he'd be willing to get his white t-shirt dirty and sweaty if it meant
showing God's love to someone in need. Is he a modern day Bob Dylan,
with his sometimes loose, sometimes tight and ever-thoughtful guitar
pop-rock songs? Perhaps.

* Grammy Award-winning Bruce Carroll made a name for himself in
Christian music during the early 1990s. He hasn't been on the music
scene for a while, instead serving as the worship pastor at Hope
Presbyterian Church in Memphis, Tenn., but get ready for a comeback,
because Bruce is back. "Big World" is the title of the new CD. It's a
mix of folk, bluegrass and pop, the kind of CD someone at Starbucks
would buy. Besides music, Bruce is an author, and he and his wife are
working on "Divine Appointments," slated for release later this year.

* Roads To Rome is a band that actually went to where Paul, one of
the Bible's most fervent evangelists, walked, in places like Turkey.
The band's new CD, which released Feb. 22, is called "Love Rain
Down," and features a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. called "Long
Road To Memphis." In a Christian music pop-rock scene that's often
lily white, Roads To Rome stands out because there's a man of color
in the group. Time will tell how this group does, and since racial
reconciliation is an issue that concerns them, I'm pulling for them
to succeed.

* Everytime I think of Sandi Patty, I think of Bette Midler. They're
both bold and brassy ladies who've weathered the storms of life and
managed to walk the thin line between strong and vulnerable. Did you
know that Sandi is one of Christian music's all-time best-selling
artists? Her latest Word/Curb CD, "Duets," features 13 previously-
recorded songs where the almost operatic singer joins forces with the
likes of Larnelle Harris, Kathy Troccoli, Peabo Bryson, Russ Tuff,
and John Elefante. Since it covers Sandi's long career in Christian
music, many of the songs are from the 1980s. This CD is a great
chance to get a glimpse into "old school" Christian music from one of
Christian music's most popular singers.

* From Major League baseball pitcher to Christian singer? That's Kent
Bottenfield. His baseball career ended in 2001 after a shoulder
injury, but Kent didn't slow down. Now he's got a CD out called "Take
Me Back." With an adult contemporary sound compliments of uber-
producer Michael Omartian, Kent's music is pleasant and heartfelt,
and it is unique to see a baseball player singing overtly Christian
songs, so I'd imagine his existing fan base will support his new
endeavor, and some new fans will be added along the way.

(((What's Up With: mewithYou)))
Alternative Press Magazine wasn't kidding when they named
mewithoutYou a "Band You Need to Know in 2005." Not only did the year
ring in a new-found appreciation for the group's 2004 sophomore
release, "Catch For Us The Foxes," but mewithoutYou also joined
national tours with the likes of Coheed and Cambria and The Blood
Brothers, along with being featured on MTV's Advance Warning,
garnering their first ever mtvU Woodie Award for "Most Original
Artist," and ending the year with sold-out performances opening for
Thursday and The Starting Line.

With plans already taking shape for 2006, mewithoutYou are
positioning themselves to even eclipse 2005. The band will join
Island Records' artists Thursday (Thursday is the name of the band)
for the second leg of Thursday's national headlining tour. Running
from April 25th through May 21st, the tour will coincide with
Thursday's album release May 2nd.

Prior to the tour, mewithoutYou plan to enter the studio with Brad
Wood (Liz Phair, Smashing Pumpkins), who so successfully captured
mewithoutYou's sound and passion on "Catch For Us The Foxes" in 2004.

"When something is working well, you should develop it further and
invest in it," explains mewithoutYou guitarist Mike Weiss on choosing
Brad Wood for a follow-up album. "I hope to see this album expand on
the ideas behind our favorite current songs as well as move into some
new territory yet uncharted by mewithoutYou – more singing, new bass
player, some organ, electric piano and maybe a little harp, stronger
music arrangements, stuff like that. We've finally found `our sound'
with these new songs, but we couldn't have done it without
making `Catch For Us The Foxes.' I believe this album will be more
cohesive than our past releases and will continue to sound unique, so
it's an exciting time."

With plans to release their yet-to-be-titled third full-length on
Tooth & Nail this fall, mewithoutYou continue to wow audiences with
their eccentric live performances, transfix them with their
unrestricted, personable demeanor (see pot-luck dinners preceding
their shows), and confound them with their renovated vegetable oil
guzzling bus.

(((Artist Spotlight: eleventyseven)))
Flicker Records' debut punk band eleventyseven invites listeners into
its whimsical world of quirky, yet meaningful pop-punk on And the
Land of Fake Believe, releasing March 21. In conjunction with the
album's launch, eleventyseven is now on a 30+-city tour with
headliner Superchic[k].

The group's first label project is intentional in its bi-polar tone.
While maintaining the high-energy, fast-paced sound signature to punk
music, eleventyseven lyrically touches on teenage heartbreak and
other coming-of-age concerns. And the Land of Fake Believe is a
unique balance of reckless abandon and honest inquiry.

"Our music makes fun of almost everything," comments frontman and
primary songwriter Matthew Langston. "I look back at experiences I've
had and have a huge laugh. But joking aside, we're very serious about
our purpose. One of the major life themes adopted by this band is
learning from our own mistakes. I have made many. And the weight of
that is enough to drive me out of my mind sometimes. That's why it's
important to laugh, to learn to live with joy in forgiveness."

Eleventyseven will take its show on the road through March as special
guest on Inpop recording artist Superchic[k]'s "This is Your Anthem
Tour," alongside Seventh Day Slumber and KJ-52. The tour, which
opened in Cincinnati on Jan. 27, will visit nineteen states as well
as Canada. For a complete itinerary, go to www.superchickonline.com.

Matt Langston (lead vocals, guitar), Caleb Satterfield (bass), and
Jonathan Stephens (drums) have been cranking out their brand of
teenage, fun-frenzied music for nearly four years. Greenville, South
Carolina has served as home base for the band, which quickly expanded
its domain to include a majority of the East Coast. With three well-
received independent releases already to its credit, the trio has
maintained a non-stop touring schedule, proof of its extreme
likeability and work ethic. Eleventyseven's first radio single, "More
Than a Revolution," released to Christian Rock radio Jan. 6, and the
group is currently filming a video for its song "Myspace" to debut in
the coming weeks. The group has signed an exclusive booking agreement
with the Jeff Roberts Agency. For more information on eleventyseven
visit: www.eleventysevenrock.com or www.myspace.com/eleventyseven.

(((Tour Time: Todd Agnew/Big Daddy Weave/Nate Sallie/Jason Morant)))
World Vision presents a high profile cast for the upcoming 40-city
The Name of Jesus Tour that kicks off March 3 in St. Louis, Missouri.
Co-headlining the bill are Christian chart-toppers, Todd Agnew and
Big Daddy Weave, along with opening artists Nate Sallie and Jason
Morant.

The concept for the tour is "one night about the One Name that
changes everything." Pamela Muse, director of artist associates for
World Vision, comments, "Todd Agnew and Big Daddy Weave are so
transparent and authentic when it comes to letting Christ shine
through. We believe that this tour will challenge, inspire, and even
confront individuals with the claims of the Cross like never before.
Without a doubt, this is one of the top tours going coast to coast
this Spring."

Mike Weaver of Big Daddy Weave echoes Muse's enthusiasm: "When your
tour is called `The Name of Jesus' Tour, you want to be sure that the
guys who share the stage are solid. We know that Todd, Nate, and
Jason have hearts that will point people to Jesus."

Todd Agnew concurs: "A lot of thought and prayer has gone into this
tour. Mike and I enjoy our time offstage almost as much as we enjoy
sharing the stage. We've already spent hours wrestling with these
ideas, and we're really looking forward to bringing these ideas to
life on tour."

Todd Agnew broke onto the Christian music scene with his 200,000+
unit selling Ardent Records debut, Grace Like Rain, which produced
such hit singles as, "This Fragile Breath (The Thunder Song)," and
the title track. Agnew's sophomore project, A Reflection Of
Something, and the first single, "My Jesus," is a powerful ballad
that is already climbing the charts.

Big Daddy Weave is enjoying tremendous success with their current CD,
What I Was Made For, which debuted in the Top 10 on the Christian
Soundscan chart and features two top-three singles including the No.
1 hit, "You're Worthy Of My Praise" (a duet with labelmates
BarlowGirl), and the No. 3 hit "Just The Way I Am." The newest single
from What I Was Made For, "Without You," hits AC and Inspo radio on
February 24.

The opening acts for the tour are Curb Record's Nate Sallie, who
released his debut project Inside Out this past summer, and newcomer,
Jason Morant, whose debut album, Abandon, came out in June 2004.
Morant is signed to Vertical/Integrity Records.

(((Tour Time: Kutless)))
BEC/Tooth & Nail Records band Kutless is starting off 2006 with what—
what else—a tour. Having played to over 1.6 million people in the
past 4 years, Kutless aims to increase that number by headlining
their first rock tour since Sea Of Faces in the spring of 2004. The
Hearts Of The Innocent tour features headliner Kutless, with Falling
Up, Disciple, and Stellar Kart.

The tour, which started on February 23rd, will highlight Kutless' new
album titled Hearts of the Innocent that returns the band to their
rock-n-roll beginnings. Hearts Of The Innocent releases nationwide on
March 21st. Kutless has enjoyed widespread success since their first
release in 2002, selling over 600,000 units, touring relentlessly,
and releasing 8 radio hits. This year they have been nominated for
three GMA Music Awards including Group of the Year.

BEC Recordings' band Falling Up continues to gain momentum with their
sophomore release Dawn Escapes, which hit stores this past fall. Dawn
Escapes is the follow-up to the hit 2004 release Crashings. Falling
Up recently landed their fourth R&R CHR Rock No. 1 radio single since
their debut release. Dawn Escapes debuted #4 on the
Billboard "Heatseekers" chart, selling more than 6,000 units during
the first week of sales.

S/R/E Recordings/Epic band Disciple is a seasoned rock-n-roll band of
four Tennessee natives fusing together heavy guitar riffs and
lyrically strong choruses forming a message for today's young
generation. Disciple's self-titled album follows the band's previous
success of six No. 1 rock hits, four Dove nominations, and their
independent project Back Again (2003), which sold more than 35,000
copies. The success of their current album this year has led to the
band being nominated for two GMA Music Awards including Rock Album of
the Year.

Stellar Kart, one of the biggest breaking new bands of 2005, released
their debut album, All Gas, No Brakes and promptly hit the road in
support of the album performing over 150 concerts in their first 10
months. A high-energy pop punk band from Phoenix, Arizona, they are
poised for growth with a new album to be released in 2006.

(((Book Nook)))
There are several new books out about Christian music. First up,
check out the fascinating "Pop Goes Religion" book by Terry
Mattingly. A writer for Scripps Howard News Service in Washington,
D.C., Mattingly writes thoughtfully and interestingly about the
intersection of faith and pop culture. "Pop Goes Religion" is fun to
read, with Ozzy Osbourne, U2, Left Behind, The Simpson, Johnny Cash,
The Matrix and others written about from a Christian worldview. The
underlying theme of the book is that you never know where and how God
and God stuff will turn up in the world, ya know? Next up, there's
Jack Hayford's "The Heart of Praise" book, which shows how praising
God through the Psalms has the power to radically change our lives.
Worship leaders who want to praise God in a deeper way will
especially appreciate this book. Finally, there's Max Siegel's "About
My Father's Business: Merging Ministry & Industry" book. Siegel is
one of the "higher-ups" in Christian music, meaning he deals with
contracts, signings, and other business-oriented stuff. His book is
co-authored by Pastor John Ramsey, Sr. Ramsey's part of the book is
like a scriptural and spiritual pep talk to Christian music artists
about dealing with the combination of their calling and their faith.
Siegel later offers practical insight to the business side of
Christian music, so Christian music artists, especially the aspiring
ones, know how to handle their business, and handle it well.
