Branson, Mo. – (September 28th, 2008) On the opening night of the Branson Gospel Singer Songwriter Associations three day annual event for artists and songwriters,  the BGSSA and CMG  announced a special preferred partner  agreement between Dove award winning writers/publishers D.K. & Sherrie Brewster  of  Yet To Come Publishing and  Charles & Rosie Brady of Caraway Media Group.

 
D.K. Brewster of Yet to Come Publishing stated “CMG’s move into distributing digital downloads to radio stations has been one of the most innovative ideas I have seen.  At a time when due to economic realities most are having to cut back on the number of radio stations being serviced,  Radioactive Airplay is rapidly expanding the reach of the music of our writers and artists in our association in ways we never thought possible. “ 

Sherrie Brewster of Yet to Come Publishing commented;  “It is exciting to see how God is using Charles & Radioactive Airplay to get the music to the stations so they can share these powerful messages in song with their listeners. This is a wonderful opportunity for our writers and the artists that we work with.”

Charles Brady of CMG & Radioactive Airplay stated that he first became acquainted with DK and Sherrie Brewster through the Emergent Gospel Songfest. In going through hundreds of songs you begin to learn quickly who the Lord has His hand on when it comes to those folks who know and can recognize great music.  D.K. & Sherrie have written, co-written and published songs that have won countless major awards including the GMA’s coveted Dove Award and the Song of the Decade Award for “Praise His Name” which was recorded by Jeff and Sheri Easter.  Charles noted; “The thing that really attracted me to this talented couple was the passion and devotion they have to working and assisting other writers and artists. That’s exactly the goal we have for our company.  The goals we have are to educate, train, and equip those people who God has gifted with the ability to write and/or sing the message of the Gospel in song. When I find others that have those common goals and aspirations to see ministry expanded I want to work with those folks. DK & Sherrie Brewster have demonstrated a real love and passion for the songs and those who write and sing them.  I’m honored to be here in Branson, Mo with them this week  and with the BGSSA and I’m looking forward to working closely with them in developing this special new membership level for the BGSSA that has my full support behind it.”

The new agreement expands the offerings of Yet to Come Publishing and the BGSSA to include a brand new membership level that offers special pricing for RAA services along with special member opportunities to interact with industry leaders who share a likeminded passion for seeing music that lifts up Jesus Christ made available to every radio station.  CMG & Yet To Come Publishing along with the Branson Gospel Singer Songwriter Association will be working on special training events & seminars tailored specifically for this new Preferred Partner Membership level.  The events of this weekend are just a taste of what is “Yet To Come!”

The Branson Gospel Singer Songwriter Association is open for all artists and writers who are looking for an organization that offers regular opportunities for learning about songwriting and expanding the outreach and improving the quality of songs so that they meet the guidelines and quality standards for “broadcast ready” music that can then be offered for radio airplay.  To learn more about the opportunities and activities of the BGSSA or to sign up for membership in the organization you can visit www.yettocomeproductions.com

Worship Artist Stephen Hurd To Release New CD; Times Of Refreshing Available in October

MOBILE, Ala. - Integrity Music announces the October 14 release of Times of Refreshing, a live worship album featuring artist and songwriter Stephen Hurd. The CD, his third with Integrity, following the critically acclaimed My Destiny and A Call To Worship.
Times of Refreshing offers 20 tracks of energetic praise and intimate worship recorded live at First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, where Hurd serves as Music Minister. 
Hurd, who co-produced and arranged the album with Justin Savage, invited 250 worship leaders, music directors and musicians from around the country to join him for the recording.  The result is an impactful musical offering that deliberately mixes hymns, contemporary worship and traditional Gospel to bring together generations, races and denominations.

“I have felt for a while the need to bring together worship leaders who serve pastors and congregations every week,” says Hurd of the decision to record the project with other “lead worshipers.”
“I wanted to do something that would refresh them so that they, in turn, could refresh their congregations, making the pastors’ job easier to introduce Jesus to the waiting people. This was an opportunity to love on them and pour into their lives.” 

In addition to collaborating on production and arrangements, Hurd and Savage also co-wrote most of the songs for the album.
