Oh goodie, another product that mimics a mainstream product and gives Christians one more way to live in their secluded bubble. This fall, Cloud 9 Games will release Heavenly Harmony, a karaoke and vocal performance game and companion Christian Rock expansion pack. I guess Guitar Hero and Rock Band are just too secular for some…

Our Monday Morning Trivia question this week was: Q: Which legendary guitarist had a sister who appeared in the epic movie, “The 10 Commandments?” And the answer is …

On June 24 Shawn McDonald will release Roots Remixed, an EP with remixes of six songs from his March releases, Roots. Roots is a truly fantastic album, creative and fresh, both lyrically and musically. The songs are funky, cool, different. I’m not sure that any of them needed remixing.

The Gospel Music channel is doing a special Father’s Day weekend of programming, with spotlights on Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Nate Sallie, and The Williams Brothers. I get the icons of Christian music, like SCC, MSW and one of gospel’s longest running groups, The Williams Brothers, but not sure about the inclusion of Nate…

Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman recently released, Summer, the last of his four solo, seasonally-themed EPs. Each of the EPs, Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer, are deeply intimate, and as Forman says, autobiographical. Lyrically, Summer is like viewing Foreman’s private diary, filled with questions and prayers, and, like the other EPs, deeply personal ponderings and yearnings.…
