12 Stones signs with Executive Music Group for August release<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been four years since 12 Stones last released a full-length album, but the wait for fans of the New Orleans-based rock band is nearly over. Executive Music Group recently announced the August 23rd release of Only Human<\/em> and the title track is currently being serviced to radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to have signed to Executive Music Group,\u201d leader singer Paul McCoy said in a press statement. \u201cWe felt they had our best interest at heart with wanting to get our music back to all our fans worldwide not only in the rock world but our fans in the Christian community. We appreciate all our fans and our main priority is to make sure our music is available to all who support us.\u201d<\/p>\n

In nearly 12 years of existence, 12 Stones has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and has scored radio hits with songs such as \u201cBroken,\u201d \u201cFar Away,\u201d \u201cLie To Me\u201d and \u201cAdrenaline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cornerstone Festival brings together groundbreaking Christian artists<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual Cornerstone Festival will be hosting a special evening on Thursday, June 30th, appropriately called \u201cJesus Rally\u201d in celebration of the many artists who laid down the foundation for the Christian music industry throughout the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n

Featured artists will include Petra\u2019s original lineup, Barry McGuire, Daniel Amos, Phil Keaggy, Randy Stonehill, Rez Band, The E Band, Servant and Sheep. While many of these performances will take place on the main stage, there will also be additional shows and panel discussions throughout the grounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m personally very excited to be back playing at Cornerstone,\u201d Greg X. Volz said in a press release. \u201cIt\u2019s been 25 years since I last played the fest with Petra, but I have to admit that I\u2019m thrilled to be playing with The E Band again. We haven\u2019t played together in 40 years, and it seems fitting that Cornerstone is the reason to reunite.<\/p>\n

Cornerstone Festival 2011 will take place June 30th through July 3rd at Cornerstone Farm outside of Bushnell, Ill. For more information, go to the official website by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
