This GREAT news comes on the heels of the release of the group’s debut StowTown recording, LIVING IN THE MOMENT, and, is accompanied by tremendous radio success and other accomplishements occurring for the dynamic trio.

Group owner and tenor singer, Anthony Facello, expresses, “Over the the last seven years, I cannot explain what it has been like to see and experience the HAND of GOD moving in a ministry like He has moved in ours. We look back and KNOW that ONLY God could have made these plans and allowed what HE has allowed so that we can more effectively share the Gospel. Now, He’s opened the door for us to have even more opportunity and a GREAT team to help us to do that. Truly, that is all we want. Our desire is to be BUSY doing what GOD has called us to do. We are humbled and grateful, beyond words, to team with the Tana Lonon Agency to reach more precious people with the HOPE of Jesus. We thank Tana for her belief in us and we absolutely believe in her.”

“I have known Anthony for many years,” shares Tana Lonon (owner of the Tana Lonon Agency),” and I have watched him exemplify great Christian character and a true heart for ministry throughout those years. I knew he would do well when he formed his own group. I have ‘watched’ Beyond The Ashes ‘from afar’ for some time now, and to finally get to partner with them is a thrill! I am proud of this group and I believe their best days are ahead. I’m honored and excited to get to share in it all with them.”

Beyond The Ashes Lead Singer, Casey Rivers, Shares A Grateful Goodbye

Written by SGN Scoops Staff on July 24, 2012 – 2:54 pm -

Nashville, TN (July 24, 2012) – Beyond The Ashes lead singer, Casey Rivers, has expressed his departure from the group. While parting is sweet sorrow, this decision is based on his growing family and the kind of season change that comes along with it. Casey and his precious wife, Doni, will be welcoming baby number three in just a few short months.

Anthony Facello (ministry leader and tenor singer) shares, “Saying goodbye to Casey is truly like saying goodbye to a brother. He is and will always be an intergral part of all God is doing in our midst. He will remain in our lives as our brother in Christ and friend, and that will ease the ache of this transition a bit, but still in all, it’s tough to let him go. We do completely support his heart, gifts, and all that God has for him in this season of change. And, at the same time, we are seeing God move in incredible ways in bringing us a new singer and we are excited about what’s ahead. No one can replace Casey, but that’s the wonderful thing about God’s plans. While Casey is being faithful and blessed in his new ministry endeavors, God is opening a door for someone new to share in ministry with Beyond The Ashes. I love how He works!”

Casey expressed his departure from Beyond The Ashes with this open letter; “For more than three years now I have been blessed to be one of those three singers that make up what many have come to know as Beyond The Ashes. Saying goodbye to family, and all I’ve grown accustomed to, is not an easy thing, but nevertheless, a new season has come for BTA and for me. I am 100% supportive of my brothers, and I know they are of me, as we all begin this new journey we’re embarking upon. Also, to pacify any wondering minds, I just want to clarify that I am leaving on an incredibly good note. After much prayer and discernment, I decided this was the best decision for me and my growing family. Most of all, I’m confident that it is God’s will for us. Thank you Anthony, Kellan, Dusty, Rob, fans, friends, and most importantly God for the awesome ride! Love you all…”

An announcement about the new lead singer for Beyond The Ashes is coming soon! They covet your prayers during this time of transition and hope to see you all on the road soon.
