Crossroads releases Jordan Family Band, Sunday Drive albums

Jordan Family Band. Reach

Arden, North Carolina (July 13, 2018) – The Jordan Family Band’s album Reach and Sunday Drive’s album A Million Miles are now available from Crossroads.

The Jordan Family Band hopes to spread God’s word far and wide with Reach from Skyland Records. With reminders to always live as an example of Christ, it sends a powerful message of what can be accomplished with a little faith in even the darkest of times.

“When we began the groundwork for this new record, we carefully chose songs we felt were divinely given to us, whether it by our pen or through friends of our ministry. We had no selfish endeavors! We wanted to not only ‘Reach’ the world and those who feel like their situation is helpless, but also the tired and discouraged Christian who is on the brink of giving up!” says Josh Jordan of the Jordan Family Band. “It’s not just an album title, ‘Reach’ is our new vision — He reached for us in our most desperate state and delivered us, and He will do the same for you.”

With energetic vocals and vivid, narrative lyrics, the Jordan Family Band hopes to “Reach” listeners from all walks of life and

Sunday Drive. A Million Miles

spread the gospel. Listen to Reach HERE.

Sunday Drive’s A Million Miles from Sonlite Records carries a resounding message that God is never too far away with songs about strong belief, grateful praise and reliance on faith. With a classic country style and upbeat lyrics, the gospel group reminds listeners that following Christ leads to a joyful life, despite the ups and downs we all face.
“We are so excited about our new recording A Million Miles. We reached out of our songwriting box and asked some of the greatest writers in Gospel music for some songs and did they come through,” says Jeff Treece. “The title cut ‘A Million Miles’ is written by our good friend, Mark Bishop. Our first single ‘Living In The Middle Of His Will’ is written by Dianne Wilkinson and Lee Black. It also includes original, easy listening, classic and comedy songs. Come take a trip you will never forget — ‘A Million Miles’ by Sunday Drive.”

Spins Help Homeless Veterans in the U.S.

A national study states there are 67,495 homeless Veterans in the U.S. and that means 1 in 4 homeless people are Veterans. Sunday Drive, recording artist for Lyric House Records and Crossroads Entertainment is teaming up with Radio Stations, Lost Sheep Ministries, and other national organizations to help bring an end to this travesty.

You may ask . . . Why this song? Co-writer Todd Martin is a Homeless Veteran. Todd is a very talented individual who has had trouble finding a long term job and has spent many nights sleeping under bridges, in cars, and anywhere he can find. Hopefully this song will showcase his talent as a writer and open doors for him.

How can you help? Every time you spin “A Reason To Believe”. . . BMI, ASCAP and Sound Exchange pay royalties. Sunday Drive will be donating royalties to Lost Sheep Ministries and other national veteran organizations, and Todd will make enough money on royalties to rent a place he can call home. We are excited to give back to the people who gave so much to insure that we will remain free!

There are 4 ways for you to get “A Reason To Believe.”

1. Click this link to listen to the song and download radio edit: www.sundaydriveband.com/AReasonToBelieve

Patterson Promotions promoting Sunday Drive Single

{EHA-Nashville,TN} Sunday Drive’s, “When I Get There,” is experiencing success with airplay as the group sent the latest single to radio through Patterson Promotions October 1, 2010. The Southern Gospel group, who has been known as Sunday Drive since 2007, started a competition for fans to come up with a new name for them. Members, Ernie, Brenda, Eric, and Charlotte traveled with Charlotte’s mom for years as the Sons Family.

The Son’s Family experienced much success with several chartbusters. The group’s mission is still as always: to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song. So far, that seems to be working well, as their latest single release is being heard across the country everywhere. Pauline Patterson of Patterson Promotions notes, “It’s a joy and honor to work with such a fine group. I wish them much success in their ministry. Knowing and loving the Sons Family all these years makes it such a joy to continue my affiliation with this wonderful group.”
The group is on Patterson Promotions Volume 3 Radio Compilation Disc.
