Hunter Sparkman of New Legacy Project

Nashville, Tenn – Popular Southern Gospel group, New Legacy Project, have announced that Hunter Sparkman, their long time lead singer, will be leaving the group at the end of this year.

While the group is sorry to see Hunter leave, they are celebrating with him over the upcoming addition to his family.  He and wife, Stacey, are expecting their first child in January.  It is with great joy that the group support his decision to spend more time with his newly growing family.

Hunter stated, “I am so grateful to Rick Price and New Legacy Project for taking a chance on me. Traveling and singing with my best friends has made me into the man I am now, and that man is so excited to be a father and even more of a husband! While I am looking forward to the new memories ahead with my family, those made with NLP will not be forgotten.”

Hunter has been an integral part of NLP for the past six years.  His incredibly powerful vocal ability and unique sound has helped shape the group into the powerhouse quartet that they are.  He’s also been a contributing writer and arranger on many of the group’s releases.

Of Hunter’s departure, group owner and leader Rick Price says, “It’s always a loss when someone leaves the group, especially when they have been part of our lives and ministry for so long. But we are more than just a group, we are a family.  We know that God has an amazing and awe-inspiring next chapter for both Hunter and for NLP.  It’s always exciting to see what He will do.”

The group will be auditioning singers over the December/January break, with the intent of bringing a new member on board for the January tour.  Those interested should email a performance video or demo mp3 and headshot to kingdomartistsmedia@gmail.com.  Relocation will not be required for the full-time position.

New Legacy Project New Radio Release and Lyric Video

New Legacy Project New Radio Release and Lyric Video

Nashville, Tenn – Long-running, cutting edge Southern Gospel group, ™New Legacy Project, have announced the upcoming release of their new lyric video “Born For This,” a single recently released to radio from their album T”Rest Of The Story.”

This upbeat and lilting song was written by popular Nashville writers Gina Boe, Carl Cartee and Kenna West.  The lyrics encourage us to “breathe in this moment… knowing that there’s hope in the making.” Initially NLP hadn’t planned to release this particular cut as a single, but with all the strife in the world today they knew it’s time had come.

Of the song, group owner and Gospel Music Hall of Fame Member Rick Price says, “When I first heard ‘Born For This,’ written by my long-time friend Kenna Turner-West with Gina and Carl, I knew we had to record it. And it’s more relevant now than then. The words speak to current events both here and abroad. The world needs hope right now, and we are called to bring that message in the best way we know how — through our music.  We really were born for this.”

“The Rest of the Story” was produced by Bobby Blazier and Rick Price. Every cut showcases the group’s stellar harmonies and powerful delivery. The lead vocal for “Born For This” is flawlessly performed by baritone Luke Yates, and his resonant tone serves to emphasize the important message.

While “Born for This” might not quite fit the Southern gospel sound you’re used to hearing from NLP, it will assuredly be a song you will want to play again and again.

The video, created by Kingdom Artists, is now being premiered by Singing News Magazine.

The video can be viewed on the group’s YouTube page.
