Indie Extreme/Black Shoe Records recording artist Matt Brouwer's
latest CD, Where's Our Revolution, produced by Grammy award-winning
producer, Michael Omartian, has received nominations for two Covenant
Awards by the Gospel Music Association Canada. Brouwer's first single
Beautiful Now, from the just released album Where's Our Revolution,
was nominated for Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year. Matt was also
nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year. Winners will be announced
during the organization's annual awards ceremony in Calgary on Oct. 24.
Brouwer will participate in the Canadian GMA week festivities
including leading at the kick off "Worship Night" concert at Calgary's
First Alliance Church, speaking at the music and songwriting seminars,
and performing "Beautiful Now" at the Covenant Awards Night ceremonies.
"I'm thrilled to be nominated for a Covenant Award and to perform at
both the GMA Canada's opening kick-off concert and the Covenant Awards
Show," said Brouwer, who released the single in June of 2008
throughout North America and has watched it rise to #1 on both the CRW
Global AC and CanCon Pop/Contemporary charts.
Brouwer's has previously landed hits on the Billboard CCM records
chart (I Shall Believe); CCM CHR chart (Water); and the New Music
Weekly Hot 100, AC, Indie AC, and Top 40 charts (Surrender). Where's
Our Revolution, marks a huge step forward for Brouwer, being hailed by
critics as an artistic and production bench mark for the artist. The
success of Beautiful Now points to a very successful run as the album
is full of radio friendly pop singles.
Indie Extreme, a Nashville-based independent record label management
firm, provides Brouwer's Black Shoe Records with label administration
services such as marketing support, distribution, administration,
e-commerce, book keeping and inventory management. Black Shoe Records
is the first label that Indie Extreme has signed to a management deal.
"It's an honor working with Matt and his independent label, Black Shoe
Records," said Indie Extreme CEO Kathy Douglas. "The Where's Our
Revolution CD has been a result of years of preparation and growth in
Matt, both as a writer and musician. He is a unique individual with a
clear yet gently confrontational message to his generation, one of
love, hope and authenticity."
Brouwer's Where's Our Revolution is currently available in limited
release throughout the U.S. and Canada as well as online, with a
massive distribution deal in the works for 2009. For tour dates and
