Three Bridges to Create Concept Video of “Forgive Myself”

Franklin, TN (February 28, 2013) – Mansion Entertainment, home of GRAMMY and Dove award nominated artists, is happy to announce the creation of a new concept video for Three Bridges’ latest single, “Forgive Myself”.

The story of God’s forgiveness is one that Christians know well; however, knowing something on an academic level and completely understanding it on a personal level are two different things. “Forgive Myself”, written by John Lemonis and Amy Keffer, covers this very message and has had a lasting impact on everyone who has heard it. Shannon Smith, who sings lead on “Forgive Myself”, stated that “When we perform this song people are obviously moved by it – you can almost see a healing take place. It’s amazing to see what God can do through a three or four minute song.”

Bill Traylor, President of Mansion Entertainment, states, “Mansion is so pleased to have the opportunity to work with the talented writers John Lemonis and Amy Keffer, and their penning of the song “Forgive Myself”.  Upon hearing the demo, I felt immediately that this song would have a tremendous ministry impact and who better to perform this then the talented group, Three Bridges.  A video was a natural outgrowth.  I expect this video and this song to minister to people across the globe with its important message and we are grateful to be the company to provide this strong message”.

The new concept video will air on Mansion Entertainment shows, “Sing out America”, “Nashville Country Revival” and “Spiritfest”, as well as, on Mansion’s TV network, PEBN.

“Forgive Myself” Finds Place on Industry Charts and In the Hearts of Listeners

Franklin, TN (February 7th 2013) – Mansion Entertainment, label home to Grammy
nominated and Dove Award winning Gospel artists, has enough experience to know when a song
begins to take on a life and persona of its own. Three Bridges newest single “Forgive Myself”,
off their latest album Twelve, is just such a song.

Twelve has been an important number for Three Bridges – Twelve is the title of their newest
project, it describes the number of songs on the album, their number of years in ministry, and
the number of studio albums they have recorded. At a time when the music industry struggles
creatively to capture audiences, Three Bridges has released one of its strongest and most
powerful singles, “Forgive Myself”.

“Forgive Myself” written by John Lemonis and Amy Keffer, stresses the importance of learning
to forgive yourself of past sins just as Jesus does. This strong message hits home with the very
foundation of the Church and has resonated in the hearts of concertgoers and followers of social
media.

Shannon Smith, who sings lead on “Forgive Myself”, stated that “When we perform this song
people are obviously moved by it – you can almost see a healing take place. It’s amazing to see
what God to do through a three or four minute song.”

Shelia Harper, founder of SaveOne Ministry, states, “Forgive Myself is quickly becoming
the theme song for our ministry, SaveOne. We are an abortion recovery ministry and the
line, ‘Mercy has no memory, grace has no regret’ speaks to the very heart of what we’re
about…forgiving ourselves through accepting Jesus’ mercy, grace, and forgiveness. Thank you
to Three Bridges for sharing this song with the world!”

One fan on social media said that the song “Greatly blessed me. I have struggled my entire life to
forgive myself…” Another fan said, “Moving on from the past and learning forgive yourself of
past mistakes is something that everyone struggles with and is relatable to so many.”

“Forgive Myself” debuted on the Singing News Top 80 Chart for March and has already
achieved success on other industry charts. As the popularity and exposure of the song grows, so
does the feedback from fans who hear it.

Three Bridges Announces Release Of Newest Project ‘TWELVE’

Multi-Award winning male trio and Mansion Entertainment recording artist, THREE BRIDGES, recently released their newest project entitled TWELVE. Group founder and baritone singer, Elliott McCoy, said, “We are so excited about this project! We believe God gave us some truly anointed songs and we think this is our best recording to date.”

The group admits that TWELVE may seem to be an unusual title. From the liner notes of the album: Why “TWELVE?” We’re glad you asked! Actually, there are several reasons. Maybe the most important reason is that September 2012 begins Three Bridges 12th year of ministry. This is also Three Bridges’ 12th recording. We’ve chosen 12 songs for this CD and we see each of them as a unique reminder of just how good, faithful and loving God has been to His children.

The first single release from TWELVE is the song, “Forgive Myself.”  Written by John Lemonis and Amy Keffer, the song features lead singer Shannon Smith, and is a powerful reminder that “if Jesus can forgive me, then it’s time to forgive myself.” Shannon says, “Most Christians know that God has forgiven them of their sins, but many of us struggle to forgive ourselves. We tend to focus so much on our sin and it’s consequences that we forget that God dealt with the sin when Jesus took our punishment at the cross.”

There are several ways you can get this latest release from Three Bridges. You can pick it up at your local Christian bookstore, order it from Three Bridges webstore at http://www.threebridges.net and o,f course, you can get it at a Three Bridges concert. Very soon it will be available for download on iTunes.

Three Bridges’ music is rooted in traditional Southern Gospel as well as “Black Gospel” music. This blended style has given the group a unique flair and has opened many doors for them to share their exciting and energy-packed stage presentation.
