Josh Keenan

My name is Josh Keenan and presently I am a solo artist. My music is inspired by God; who is my everything, and my own personal experiences. I am working very hard at recording my songs which is definitely a fun yet difficult learning experience. I recently recorded my debut EP at The Vault Studios. I really don’t know what else to say other than I hope that my passion for music, and the songs I write can speak to everyone who hears them in some way! Thank you all for listening, and God bless!

Artist Tiffany Robinson

Tiffany Robinson

Known for her honest lyrics, passionate vocals, and folksy acoustic sound, Tiffany Robison melds classical technique with her unique style of Christian Indie songwriting. Tiffany is a Roberts Wesleyan College graduate with a bachelor's in music.

Over the past few months, she has begun to pursue her dream of ministering to young people around the world. She has led worship or shared special music at several churches in NY, as well as while on trips to Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and China. Playing for coffee houses, special events, and churches, recording her songs, beginning her master's degree in music therapy, and working fulltime as an Area Director in Residential Life at Nazareth College take up most of her time.

Tiffany's focus is ministering to young women, and she has begun to tell the story of her "Insatiable Quest for Beauty" ™ through a unique alternation between speaking and playing her songs. Her prayer is that women would find the confidence and freedom she found once she began to understand the Lord's unconditional love for her.

Artist Truth Bomb

Truth Bomb

In January 2005, three siblings from Clearwater, Florida joined musical forces to create the Christian, alternative pop/rock band known as Truth Bomb. With a passion for the truth and a heart for God's people, Andrew (vocals, lead/rhythm guitar), Christin (rhythm guitar) and Kaitie Boyce (bass) seek to glorify God and encourage His children by "speaking the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15).

The band is currently playing shows and leading worship throughout the South, as well as recording for the much anticipated follow-up to their 2006 debut release, Can You Hear It?. The new EP, titled Hourglass, is set to release this Winter.

The name Truth Bomb is a metaphor for the power of God's word.

"'Is not My word like fire?' declares the LORD, 'and like a hammer which shatters a rock?'" Jer. 23:29

Artist Bill Steely

Bill Steely

My name is Bill Steely and I love to sing and play music. I have always had a passion for it. My goal in life was always to reach for the highest and to succeed at something worthwhile. But I soon realized that God had bigger plans for me.

I have been saved since I was nineteen years of age and I had never really understood the true meaning of what being a Christian was and its role for my life. One day my father-in-law was diagnosed with liver cancer and my wife decided for us to bring him home instead of hospice. It was a life altering experience for the whole family but mostly it changed me. I learned the true meaning of Grace.

I was able to witness to him on his deathbed which ultimately saved his life forever and gave me a new purpose. I have a mission now and it drives me to be a servant for God, to sing his praises and to use my talent for him. Also to be a good father to three, a loving husband to my beautiful wife, a caring soul to others and to reach the lost. My song is my sermon and the stage is my pulpit. I have truly been BLESSED BY GOD and that my friend is the true meaning of life.

Artist The Access

The Access

The Access, a 5 piece band, born and bred in Baytown,TX. was formed in July 06. However, The Access' final lineup was not in place until Jan. 08, just days before heading to the studio to record their debut album, "The Time Has Come." The Access mission is to affect and inspire a generation called by God, through their music. Industry persons have described The Access as the best thing to happen in decades. The Access music can be felt as well as heard, their lyrics minister and change lives.

This band from Baytown,TX. surpasses your expectations when seen live! It is rare when a band comes along that can produce great music in the studio and to a greater degree reproduce it on stage! The Access music is progressive, Passionate, fresh, worshipful, with a rock twist! Front man Justin Michaels says, " Our goals are to help people, churched and unchurched. To minister life and move a generation into action."

" We want our music to have meaning. The last thing we want to do as a band, when we get up on stage, is just put on a good show. Yes, we want people to come to our concerts and have a good time but more importantly to experience a move of God. Band guitarist Nick Daniel says," we want to deliver great music with a positive message. A message that does not stray from the values instilled in us by family and church.

There is a generation hungry for something real." We believe The Access is just one of many ministries being raised up in this hour, being used as a conduit, to deliver such a message. To speak hope into a valley of dry bones. The Access' debut album, "The Time Has Come" was officially released Sept.6th 2008.

Artist Oliver Hazard

Oliver Hazard

Michael Coons and Josiah Haner together form the phenomenon that is Oliver Hazard. Though they are a humble phenomenon, these two manage to create a powerful sound in spite of the fact that they are small in number. In many ways their story has parallels with the story of the historical figure after whom the band was named.

They both share the same passion of creating music that is not only pleasing to the ears but also thought provoking and full of depth and meaning. Many of their songs are inspired by true stories from the lives of others and from their own personal life experiences.

Their music is meant to bring encouragement, inspiration, and entertainment to all who listen. If you decide to go and experience Oliver Hazard for yourself, just remember to be prepared to have a good time. "We have met the enemy and he is ours." - Oliver Hazard

Artist 3 In The Same

3 In The Same

3 In The Same are Soldiers for Christ and their sole purpose is to serve the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Their motivation is not influenced by their own personal gain, but rather to see Christ glorified and to spread His good news throughout the United States and abroad.

The band was formed in late 2003. Individually, each member brings in a minimum of 14 years of experience in music. The members of the band also gained experience as a group by leading worship in their local church.

With God in the center, doors opened for 3 In The Same and they had numerous opportunities to present the gospel in their local community as well as internationally.

3 In The Same shows continuous growth through recording and writing of original material; along with this material, the group is also working on a large selection of praise and worship music to expand their field of ministry.

Collectively, the hopes and prayers of the band are that the music the Lord has put on their hearts will provide encouragement through life’s trials as well as an avenue to hear a positive and uplifting message.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

Artist Mark Cash

Mark Cash

Music is an amazing tool that stirs the human spirit and changes people. It's no surprise that adding the element of worship proves even more powerful. "In a world of instant fame and wannabe celebrity, it's hard to make music and not make it about yourself". Cash started perfroming at an early age landing roles in local and regional theater productions of "Grease," "Cabaret," "Pippin," and others.

A brief move to California to attend San Diego Masters Commission set in stone a calling into music. While on the west coast, Mark had an amazing chance to share his talent on "The Wayne Brady Show," "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest," "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn," "MTV's Your Face or Mine," as well as season 4 and 7 of American Idol.

"California was an amazing experience. Here I am a small town boy moving to the West Coast to pursue ministry. We ended up doing alot of fundraisers in Hollywood. After going to show tapings, I got to sing and entertain the audience during commerical breaks. Come on, I was an 18 year old kid from Maryland. I was having a blast!! Still seeing Hollywood and celebrites from behind the camera really made me want to make music that touched the hearts of hurting people."

Taking the long road seems to be paying off. Mark beat out 27 bands/singers to earn a spot with Rizen Gear Clothing as a sponsored artist. (Also working with DoxaGarments) Currently at work on his first EP set for a summer 2009 release, Mark is excited to hit the road and share a message of hope with anyone who will listen.

Artist Abbi Walker

Abbi Walker

Occasionally, one will find a person who seems to desire more than most, one whose heart refuses to settle for anything less than what burns in their soul. Those are few and far between, but even more rare is a person who actually pursues it. Abbi Walker is a singer/songwriter whose artistry wells up from the deep places of her soul, and from the honesty of her life. Many connect with the bared “soul” and honesty of her lyirics, her voice, and her story.

Her non-mainstream style is refreshing in a world where unique artistry struggles to survive. Frustrated by the lack of honesty and transparency in much of the mainstream Christian music today, Abbi is stepping into a new place, writing and performing songs that describe heartache, doubt, God’s sovereignty, the struggle to forgive, and much more. Abbi has been in music and ministry for the last 10 years, and she spent the last 3 years on staff at a church in San Antonio as the Girls Director for the youth ministry. She has a love for students and women, and connects in a unique way with her audience. Abbi feels that true ministry often flows out of the broken places of our lives, and she strives to speak and minister out of those sweet places of honesty and vulnerability.

Whether in concert, worship, or a talk, Abbi strives to see God’s people encounter the living, healing, mighty God. In the fall of 2006, Abbi released her 2nd full length indie album, “Hope of a Little Green”. During 2008, Abbi’s song “Save Me” was released nationally on 2 Indie Compilation CD’s, and also received radio play on CCM’s highlight of the “Underground Sound” CD released by NuSpring Records. Indelible Creative Group released also released their indie compilation “Top 20 Indie” CD with “Save Me” on it as well.

Artist Jamie Jamgochian

Jaime Jamgochian

Ask just about any person you encounter today and they’ll tell you that life is just too busy. Between work, family, and just the general hustle and bustle, our lives are filled with distractions that separate us from time with God. Music is most often the conduit that helps people draw closer to their heavenly father, and few artists are more gifted in facilitating that connection than Jaime Jamgochian.

On her new Centricity Records project, Above the Noise, Jaime has once again crafted a potent collection of songs that help the listener strip away the distractions and surrender to the essence of worship. “I want people to sense the true passion for worship,” says the vivacious strawberry blonde singer/songwriter. “Hopefully, they’ll drive in their car and start lifting their voices.”

Above the Noise showcases Jaime’s gifts in a new light. A songwriter of incredible depth, her music reveals a heart that passionately seeks God and pours those revelations into insightful lyrics. With Nathan Nockels (Point of Grace, Matt Redman) producing several songs on the collection, the new album has a more contemporary flavor that brings a new vibrancy to the messages Jaime has to share. “He did all the ‘Passion’ worship records,” says Jaime. “I felt he really got my heart, not just the lyrics and melodies, but really got inside the songs.”

“I feel like I’m still young in the Lord and excited about my faith,” she says, leaning forward with a big smile. “I want the fire to burn bright and I think that’s translated in my lyrics. I’m still amazed by God’s grace and forgiveness.”

Artist NoonDaySun

NoonDaySun

NoonDaySun has been ministering to the Northwest (and beyond) for 7 years. Cherie (keys/vox), Crystal (guitar/vox), Tiffiny (guitar/vox), Sean (drummer), and Jacob (bass) love their calling and seek to share anywhere God sends them. The scripture that inspired their name (Psalm 37:5-6 "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.") is the challenge they bring to their audiences and to themselves.

As a band they express a passion to bring the love of Christ to everyone through the message of their music. They have a pop/(chick)rock style which employs a fusion of pop/rock combined with rhythmic harmonies to bring that message of hope to this generation. They're currently working with an awesome label (Seven17 rocks) and expanding their sound! "We love God and feel SO blessed to be able to go around and share with others about what God has done in OUR lives and what He CAN do in theirs!"

Hey everyone. My name is Jason Lambert and I am from Fayetteville, AR... A place where you probably have never heard of, but that is ok.

Artist Anna Gilbert

Anna Gilbert

Anna Gilbert is a completely independent, self-produced, and self-composed artist. Her musical exploration began at a very young age when her father and mother introduced her to the piano and singing. One of her favorite past times as a child was making up songs while her father played simple chords on his acoustic guitar. Anna's childhood was one which thrust and immersed her into the very core and heart of song writing.

Her parents played in a blue grass band and sang in a quartet, and her father was a music major and teacher before becoming a minister and worship leader. It was at her church in Eugene, Oregon that she gained much of her musical experience singing and performing in church choirs and small musicals.

Anna has now sold thousands of records independently, and is in the process of creating her third project with Grammy Award Winning Producer, Charlie Peacock. The two met in Seattle, WA and after hearing Anna's music, he felt she had something special. The two began an artist development and song writing relationship, and began writing for the third album set to release in February 2009. Peacock is a legendary author and producer whose accolades and accomplishments span many musical genres.

All of Anna's music is available world wide on iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, and many more legal digital distribution sites throughout the UK. Another one of Anna's loves is writing. As an English major, she enjoys writing poetry and reading books. She will often incorporate many of the motifs from her poetry within the lyrics of her music.
