Matthew West Earns GMA Dove Award for Songwriter of the Year (Artist)

October 17, 2018

West Performs at ASCAP Christian Awards, Honored for No.1 Song "Broken Things"

“Mercy Is A Song” Three-Track Single

Now Available for Digital Download

West Continues Nationwide Trek on "The Answer/All In Tour," Gears Up for "The Roadshow Christmas Tour"

Nashville, Tenn. (Oct. 17, 2018) – Matthew West took home his first GMA Dove Award for Songwriter of the Year (Artist) at the 49th Annual GMA Dove Awards Tuesday night at Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN. The prestigious accolade comes on the heels of the ASCAP Christian Awards, where West was honored for his No.1 hit song "Broken Things," which he later performed that evening. A tenured songwriter, West has over 100 songwriting credits to his name for artists in multiple genres.

The GRAMMY® Nominee also released a three-track single for “Mercy Is A Song” this past Friday. Featuring the original studio recording found on West's chart-topping album All In, the three-track single also includes an intimate acoustic version of the song, along with a special live performance recording featuring Jordan Feliz. The pair also released a video of the song three months prior, which has already garnered over 141 thousand views since its release.

"This song is a reminder that going all in isn’t always about what we do, but it’s about what’s been done for us. Sometimes it’s hard to let it really sink in just how much God has done for us, how much He loves us, and how free we really are," said West. "I'm glad to be giving this song its own spotlight."

Following "The Answer/All In Tour," a 20 city co-headlining fall tour with Jeremy Camp, West will be headlining Compassion LIVE’s “The Roadshow Christmas Tour." Joining West on the first-ever “The Roadshow Christmas Tour” are Matt Maher, Building 429, Plumb, Josh Wilson and Leanna Crawford, visiting arenas in November and December.

Artist Manager And Restore Haiti Founder Philip Peters Honored With Anderson University’s Distinguished Young Alumni Award

October 2, 2018

Nashville, Tenn. (Oct. 2, 2018) – Philip Peters of True Artist Management, founder of Restore Haiti and a 2002 graduate of Anderson University received the school’s Distinguished Young Alumni Award distinction late last week. The honor comes post nearly two decades in the music industry alongside his development of Restore Haiti, an organization that feeds, educates and provides medical care for over 1,000 students in the country of Haiti. Anderson University has a history of being the roots to those in the music industry whose alumni include Bill and Gloria Gaither, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sandi Patty, Sidewalk Prophets and the 2018 Music Alum Award winner, Jon Mclaughlin.

“Being back on campus at Anderson reminded me how much I loved getting my education from a school that valued serving others," shares Peters. "I’m honored by this award and hope that it furthers Restore Haiti to a greater partnership with students, staff, and alumni.”

Restore Haiti’s inception dates back to 2005, five years before the devastating earthquake riddled the region. The work of nutrition, educating and providing medical care to children marginalized in Haiti has continued to grow throughout its 13 years. Restore Haiti directly employs over 50 Haitians to serve the over 1,000 students in three communities. In addition to the child sponsorship program, Restore Haiti entails disaster relief providing water and re-establishing agriculture for local farms, producing supplies and tuition for 60 schools as well as drilling wells for clean water in communities and prepares students for universities and trade schools to help provide a culture to go from poverty to provision. Peters hopes to continue the growth of Restore Haiti through more child sponsorships and partner trips aiming to take people from poverty to a new life of employment.

Peters has served on the True Artist Management team for 16 years. His sojourn with the long-time artist management company dates back to 7X GRAMMY® winner TobyMac’s first solo record, Momentum, which has been followed by a string of RIAA Gold Certified albums. Peters continues to work with the multi-platinum selling artist who is now readying his first new record in three years, The Elements, out Oct. 12. In his position, Peters also works with GRAMMY® winner Mandisa, a working relationship that began following her journey on American Idol.

Multi-Platinum-Selling Country Singer Josh Turner Realizes a Dream Come True with Forthcoming Album, I Serve A Savior Oct. 26

September 21, 2018

Live Performance DVD to Release with Portion to Air as Television Special Hosted by Gospel Legend Bill Gaither

Nashville, Tenn. (Sept. 21, 2018) –Multi-platinum-selling country singer Josh Turner’s I Serve A Savior will release on Oct. 26, adding a new dimension to the GRAMMY® nominee’s already acclaimed career. The faith-based collection includes hand-picked hymns, alongside brand-new originals and live recordings of some of Turner’s most memorable hits including “Me and God” and “Long Black Train.”

Baring faith and family in his forthcoming gospel project, Turner’s I Serve A Savior even includes a special song penned by his wife, Jennifer, and eldest son, Hampton, “The River (of Happiness).” The pair also sings on the track along with Turner’s three other boys. "It’s an uplifting song," said Turner. "And having Jennifer and the boys singing on it drives that home.”

I Serve A Savior is a landmark album from one of the pillars of the country music community. A dream come true for Turner, the gospel project is one that fans have been asking to hear for years. More than that, it reflects the heart of the artist and is a personal manifesto.

“My faith is the most important thing to me,” said Turner. “I want people to hear the sentiment and heart behind this record. I want them to feel the same inspiration that I felt. I want them to feel that and hopefully they’ll make these songs a part of their life.” Turner shares more on his inspiration and heart behind the project in the video below.

"Working on this project has definitely been a God-ordained blessing. I never would have thought I’d be doing this record this year, but God opened a door and I walked through it," shared Turner. "I’ve seen many seemingly impossible things take place during the making of this record and I’ve felt God’s anointing over it."

In addition to the 12-track project, Turner is set to release a 90-minute live performance DVD of the new faith-based collection, filmed at Gaither Studios. The DVD will include a special interview of Turner with gospel legend Bill Gaither. “Josh Turner is a gifted artist. We talked about his faith, his music, his wife and children, and about his gospel heritage he holds so dear,” expressed Gaither. “It is a joy to see a young man with so much talent using his gifts with purpose and excellence.” The anticipated DVD, which features a performance by the Turner family, will also be edited to air as a one-hour television special hosted by Bill Gaither. The special will air this fall on several networks across the U.S. and Canada.
