The CCM Avengers Just Declared: Christmas Is Coming!
It’s Christmas in July and the first major Christmas tour announcement of the season has arrived, and suddenly we’re craving hot cocoa. There’s something wonderfully disorienting about scrolling through Christmas tour dates while your weather app still says 97°. We’re halfway through July. Kids are still squeezing in summer vacations. Pumpkin Spice hasn’t returned. Mariah Carey is (presumably) still asleep. And yet…Christmas officially arrived in Christian music and we are here for it. Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith and CeCe Winans have become the first major Christian artists to throw open the holiday season, announcing the return of their Christmas Together arena tour. After a successful inaugural run, Christmas Together…

Tree 63: The Soundtrack of Your Early 2000s Walk Is Back for the Rest of the Journey
They were the soundtrack to youth groups, summer camps, late-night sporadic worship services in your friends first apartment, and countless church stages. Songs like “King,” “Treasure,” “Look What You’ve Done,” and their Dove Award-winning rendition of “Blessed Be Your Name” became woven into the fabric of modern worship during the early 2000s. Then… they disappeared. After what was intended to be a six-month sabbatical turned into nearly fifteen years away, founding vocalist and songwriter John Ellis wasn’t sure Tree63 would ever return.

80s New Wave Pioneers Announces One Night Only Reunion
By the mid-1980s, Contemporary Christian Music was changing. The pioneering Jesus Music movement had matured. Arena rock was arriving through bands like Petra and DeGarmo & Key. Artists like Steve Taylors were proving Christian music could be creative, clever, and culturally relevant. Meanwhile, a new sound was emerging from across the Atlantic. New wave, with its shimmering synthesizers, angular guitars, and infectious pop melodies, was reshaping mainstream music through artists like Tears for Fears, The Cars, Duran Duran, and Simple Minds. Christian music needed its own answer. In 1986, Bash-N-The-Code arrived. Now the band is ready to celebrate. Four decades after the release of their groundbreaking self-titled debut on Myrrh…
