IMC CONCERTS ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR PRAISEFEST BRANSON FALL RETREAT

Johnson City, Tennessee – Prominent concert promotions company, IMC has announced plans to present a new Praisefest event in Branson, MO, in the fall of 2020. Eight years ago the successful promotions team conceived the idea of presenting an exciting weekend of Gospel music in the Ozark Mountains town of Branson, Missouri, a city that is famously known for its diverse entertainment theaters. That first year the event took place at the state-of-the-art Mansion Theatre.

The 2020 Praisefest Branson Fall Retreat will include performances by such popular recording artists as Greater Vision, The Triumphant Quartet, The Hoppers, The Isaacs, The Whisnants, The Perrys, Brian Free & Assurance, The Nelons, The Ball Brothers, Joseph Habedank and The Erwins. Renowned speaker, Jim Cymbala, Pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle in Brooklyn, N.Y., will also be featured, as well as popular singer/songwriter and Christian comedian, Mark Lowry. “We’re really excited to be able to provide another opportunity for people to get together for a few days to enjoy some great Gospel music, lots of laughs, great fellowship and wonderful worship experiences in a unique atmosphere,” states Greater Vision’s Gerald Wolfe.

Beyond the Song: Fields of Grace sing “Dining with the King”

Fields of Grace

Jantina de Haan takes us Beyond the Song once again, to introduce us to Fields of Grace, the artists who sing “Dining with the King.”

Jantina tells us: “The song ‘Dining With The King’ caught my attention and I wanted to know more about that beautiful song! I asked them several questions to know more about that song and their group called Fields of Grace.”

Tell us about your group, Fields of Grace.

“Fields of Grace began singing gospel music together in 2010 at their home church, Maple Ridge Baptist, located in Candler, North Carolina. Members include Elise Ingle, with husband and wife, Nathaniel and Leslie Smith. They are dear friends who enjoy spending hours together in preparation and travel. They provide an inspirational service presenting the gospel message in song. Their music includes smooth Southern gospel music, Bluegrass gospel music, and Traditional Christian music, all with the goal of uplifting their savior and encouraging His church.” For more on this group, visit their website HERE.

Tell a little about that song “Dining With the King.”

“Mephibosheth’s story is the story for all who have received the marvelous gift of salvation. Mercy, hope, grace and the blessings of going from ‘poverty to majesty’ is the message of ‘Dining with the King.’ Christ’s love is unconditional as the words in the song proclaim: ‘no one is ever turned away, so come just as you are…'”

Who wrote the song?

“The Issacs – Rebecca Isaacs Bowman (R.I. Bowman Music (BMI) & Sonya Isaacs Yeary (June Elephant Music/ Warner Chappell Music (BMI) & Jimmy Yeary (EMI Blackwood/Great Day at THiS Music/ Beattyville Music (BMI). 1/31/2015”

What does the song mean to you personally?

“We have always loved the song from the first time we started singing it. The message is so beautiful and speaks of the love of our King that died for us so we would no longer be begging for the things of this world but ‘Dine with the King’ and experience His blessings. We spend our lives searching for fulfillment and always coming up empty until we meet Jesus. He is all we need and so much more than we deserve.
We were all raised in the church. Nathaniel and Leslie were saved at a young age and Elise later as a young woman. Although we have always known who He was; each of us has sweet testimonies of how the King extended His mercy to us. He did not have to save us; He could have passed us by. We very much deserved wrath and judgment but God gave us a permanent seat at His table instead. Praise God!”

Fields of Grace – Undone CD

What is the message you want to share with the listeners in the audience?

“We believe Jesus came back from the grave with His scars on display to show the world the depth and power of His love. This song gives us and our listeners courage to keep sharing their own story of how they met Jesus and just how broken we all were and how radical the resurrecting and transforming power of Jesus Christ is. We pray our listeners hear the same call and feel the same urge to be open and brave in sharing the miracle of just how far from grace we all were and the joy of now having a continual audience with the King!”

Why is it on this particular album?

“From the moment we first heard and started singing ‘Dining with the King’ in worship services we were excited about the opportunity to record it. God has always been faithful to bless the message every time we sing it and we are grateful for His touch. We all agreed that it would be first on our new project titled ‘Undone.’ ‘Undone’ came from the line in our second song on the project, ‘I Got Saved:’ ‘I’m undone by the mercy of Jesus, I’m undone by the goodness of the Lord.’ ‘Dining with the King’ was the obvious choice for the first song on such an important project for our ministry.”

Thanks, Fields of Grace, for sharing your story with SGNScoops! May you continue to spread the Gospel in the land.

“Dining with the King” is the number one song on New Journey Radio for the month of May 2019.

Let the message of this song and tender vocals of Fields of Grace bless you today.

Thanks to Jantina de Haan for taking us Beyond the Song with Fields of Grace.

The Isaacs Set to Release All-new Recording of Classic Favorites

The Isaacs Set to Release All-new Recording of Classic Favorites

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —GRAMMY®-nominated and award-winning family group The Isaacs have just re-recorded some of their classic hits and most-requested songs.  Favorites: Revisited by Request (Gaither Music Group), an audio recording set to release on June 1st, features the intricate, family harmonies that have made them a household name among gospel, bluegrass and country music lovers and led them to performances on some of the world’s most-celebrated stages.

“When you sing a song for years and years it naturally changes,” stated group member Sonya Isaacs Yeary.  “You’ll emphasize a word differently, or a harmony part might change a little bit.  An inflection or a way that you say it or sing it might change.  You just get comfortable with a song, and the more you sing it together the better it gets.  The more we sing these songs the more we enjoy singing them.”

That list of songs includes such signatures as “It Is Well (Elisha’s Song),” “I’ve Come to Take You Home,” “He Understands My Tears,” “Stand Still” and more including “Is Not This the Land of Beulah,” which Ben Isaacs described as a song he relates to in a new way these days.

“That song, to me, is timeless; but I think as I’m maturing and getting older I’m understanding more about the Land of Beulah and heaven and where I want to be in my relationship with God.  When you’re younger you don’t always focus on the future.  You focus on the ‘right now.’  I see that song in a new way now.”

The group put a bit of a new twist on the barn-burner “He Ain’t Never Done Me Nothing but Good.” “That song will go with us to the grave,” stated Becky Isaacs Bowman with a smile.  “We can’t go a night without singing it.”

“We added a couple of musicians to this recording of it,” Sonya described.  “Gordon Mote played piano.  Aubrey Haynie played fiddle.  Russell Carson played banjo…they smoked their solos on this track!”

“In the studio, the only thing we did with these songs is that we made them just a touch more current,” stated Ben.  “They are still the same melodies.  They are the same songs, but we just made them a little more musically what we are today.  We tried to keep them as original and traditional-feeling as we could.”

No collection of Isaacs’ favorites would be complete without selections that feature their un-comparable a cappella arrangements, which garner consistent standing ovations in venues ranging from concert halls and churches to bluegrass festivals.  Fans will enjoy their requested rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” as well as “I Have a Father Who Can.” 

Another track that is special to The Isaacs is “From the Depths of My Heart,” a hit penned by Sonya and Ben.  “This year is the 25th anniversary of this song,” stated Lily Isaacs.  “It was a number one song in gospel music for several months when we first recorded it.  We thought, ‘How cool would that be to re-record something after 25 years?’  A lot of the fans that we’ve met in the last 10 or 15 years may have never heard it.”

“Looking at this selection of songs, it’s exciting to think that 25 years later, the lyrics that we penned then and the lyrics that we chose to sing 25 years ago still stand the test of time,” added Bowman.  “I can’t say there’s one song on this record I’m ashamed of or embarrassed of or that I theologically disagree with today, and that’s important.  These songs we sang and believed in 25 or 30 years ago when we were establishing our careers still stand the test of time.”

Time has been good to Lily, Becky, Ben and Sonya.  The Isaacs are one of the most recognized groups on the Bill Gaither HOMECOMING Video Series, and they continue to enjoy a heavy touring schedule that includes appearances on The Grand Ole Opry as they seamlessly blend bluegrass, southern gospel, folk and country music styles.  In addition to their own accolades, they have performed and recorded with such legends as Dolly Parton, Trace Adkins, Brad Paisley, Paul Simon, Vince Gill, Merle Haggard, Randy Owen, Trisha Yearwood, Ralph Stanley, Mark Lowry and many more.

The Master of the Wind……

MARK 4:39,40 39 “And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And He said unto them, ‘Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?’ “

I love to vacation at the beach. One of my favorite things to do is watch the waves come in. Something about it calms me. I seem to forget the stress of the world.

The thing about the ocean is that the same calming water can quickly turn into a raging storm. If your not careful and if you don’t watch for the signs, you can easily get caught right in the middle of it. Have you ever thought about what you would do if you got caught in a boat in the middle of the storm?

I can swim but I’m no Olympic swimmer. I would probably stay in the boat and hold on for dear life.  I’m sure the waves would be slapping me in the face and I might want to give up, but I think I would hold on for dear life!

MARK 4:39,40 39 “And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And He said unto them, ‘Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?’ “

But in our spiritual lives, why are we so fearful?
Jesus Himself asked the question. When financial difficulties, or health issues or relationship problems strike us, why do we become scared ? The bank or a doctor may be able to help you for a short time but when you are all alone and about to sink, who should we hold on to?

Before getting in the boat,  it is important to know where the anchor is. And before sailing through life, it’s most important to know Who your anchor is…..

Vonda Easley

Thank you Trip Honeycutt for allowing me to post your video.

From Trip:

Good morning, Vonda! Absolutely it would be!!! To God be the Glory. I am in Israel with KPNR and The Isaacs and the video was filmed on the Sea of Galilee.

Thank you for all of your hard work for the glory of God. Keep on keeping on and doing great work!

More About Bill Gaither

An avid fan of gospel quartets throughout his childhood, Bill founded his first group, The Bill Gaither Trio, in 1956, while he was a college student. He began teaching English in 1959 because his musical aspirations couldn’t support him full-time… yet. In 1962, Bill did one of the best things he has ever done. He married Gloria Sickal, who became the best writing partner Bill could have found anywhere. The couple spent the first five years of their married life juggling full-time teaching jobs, writing, singing, recording and publishing until music became their full-time career in 1967.

The collaborations of Bill and Gloria have resulted in more than 700 popular gospel songs, including the hymnal standard “Because He Lives,” “The King Is Coming,” “Something Beautiful,” “He Touched Me,” “It Is Finished,” “There’s Something About That Name,” “Let’s Just Praise The Lord,” and “Loving God, Loving Each Other.” Bill and Gloria have collectively won eight Grammy Awards and more than a dozen nominations, and they have received more than two dozen Dove Awards from The Gospel Music Association, earning the title of Gospel Music Association’s “Songwriter of the Year” eight times.

After decades of unprecedented musical successes, Bill and Gloria still operate their business from Bill’s hometown of Alexandria, Indiana, and they dwell in the same home in which they raised their family. They live a lifestyle focused on investing their resources into eternal things.

“Our calling is not just making music… but communicating the reality of Christ. That might mean birthing a song about Him or simply offering a cup of cold water to someone who needs it. Gloria and I have never claimed to have God figured out, but we do know that if He could use two imperfect people like us to communicate His Truth to the world, He can use everyone sitting in the audience, working on our staff or singing with us. If we have done anything right over the years, I hope we have built bridges where people could connect with God and with each other. That is what started us writing and what will keep us going for the rest of our lives.”  [From Gaither.com December 10, 2016. http://gaither.com/artists/bill-gaither]

Isaacs Partner With New Day Christian Distributors for Release of Nature’s Symphony in 432

The Isaacs Partner With New Day Christian Distributors for Release of Nature’s Symphony in 432

Hendersonville, TN  – Multi-award winning family group, The Isaacs, and their label, House of Isaacs Music, have partnered with New Day Christian Distributors on the release of their newest studio project, entitled Nature’s Symphony in 432: A Journey From Pain To Praise. The project, which is scheduled to release on September 2^nd, will be available to the Christian marketplace exclusively through New Day, with marketing and label support provided by Daywind Records.

Nature’s Symphony in 432 has been a labor of love for the musical family, comprised of siblings Sonya, Ben and Becky, and their mother Lily.  Born out of a season of pain and struggle, each song is a personal testimony that speaks to the faithfulness of God and offers praise and rejoicing to the Lord through the trials of life. After much research and prayer, the group chose to record the project in 432 tuning, the frequency which most closely reflects the sounds found in nature, further setting this 15-song collection apart from other recorded albums.  Also of interest is that the executive producer on this record is none other than NFL Hall of Famer and sports commentator, Terry Bradshaw, who has a guest vocal appearance on the record.

“Nature’s Symphony in 432 is not what we consider a typical Isaacs record,” the Isaacs share. “As the title itself indicates, it was recorded in a different tuning (432hz), one that we feel God led us to use. From the writing of the songs, to the recording process, to special guests, and now the release, we have prayed many prayers for the right doors to be opened. We knew, when the time was right, that God would lead us to the perfect partners to accomplish His will concerning it. Finally, that time has come and we are so excited that New Day Distributors will be presenting this album to the world! They have prayerfully begun this co-venture with us and we look forward to working together on this new project release.”

New Day’s Ed Leonard adds, “Our partnership with the Isaacs across our distribution and label platforms enables us to explore a new model for artists.  It all begins with the songs, and the Isaacs have crafted a magnificent work. We look forward to working closely with them to achieve their goals.”

The first single from Nature’s Symphony in 432, entitled ‘This Is The Year,’ is at Southern Gospel radio now.   The project will be available to the Christian marketplace exclusively through New Day Christian. Mainstream and digital distribution are being provided by Sony RED.

The Isaacs are a multi-award winning family group based out of Hendersonville, TN.  Drawing from bluegrass, country, contemporary Christian and southern gospel influences, infused with their signature acoustic instrumentation, the Isaacs’ unique sound and blended harmonies appeal to a wide range of audiences and has earned them notoriety in a variety of genres.  They have been featured artists on the Gaither Homecomings, as well as appearing on stages such as the Grand Ole Opry, Dove Awards, IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Awards, ICMA (Inspirational Country Music Association) Awards, CMA Music Week, Carnegie Hall and professional sporting events across the country.

New Day Christian Distributors is a super distributor based in Hendersonville, TN. It provides one-stop access to the best products from major companies in Christian music, films, books, gifts, games, toys, apparel, and more. In addition, New Day brings fantastic offerings from its many exclusive relationships with independent companies, artists, and labels. For more information on New Day, visit newdaychristian.com.
