Here is a little about each of the artists.

Lecrae

Grammy-award winner Lecrae Moore will energize the crowd with his rap-style music that is redefining mainstream popular culture. His seventh studio album, Anomaly, made history in September when it became the first in Billboard chart history to occupy the No. 1 album spot on both the Gospel Albums and Billboard Top 200 list. And Anomaly is his sixth No. 1 album.

The message of his music has attracted everyone from the kid in his basement making beats to the editors of some of the biggest publications in the world. Lecrae views it as an opportunity. But he doesn’t want his music to be limited to people of faith. He explains, “People want to feel what you believe and not just hear it. So let’s talk about fatherlessness, let’s talk about incarceration. Let’s celebrate a relationship or a marriage or a child being born. Let’s talk about social issues. Sure, I have a paradigm that I see the world through, but we all relate to those things and that’s where we connect.”

Mercy Me

The world was exposed to MercyMe over a decade ago when their song “I Can Only Imagine” provided hope, healing and comfort in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Today they continue to create music that helps a world in pain. Their latest album Welcome To The New (2014), includes the songs “Flawless” and “Greater.” They are upbeat tunes that work to combat all the voices that try to put us down and cast doubt into our lives.

The band has continued to make albums that reflect whatever season of life they’re in. Its 8th album released in 2010, The Generous Mr. Lovewell, featured a wide array of both solemn and upbeat songs including “Move,” “All of Creation” and “Beautiful.” The band followed The Generous Mr. Lovewell with The Hurt & The Healer in 2012- featuring the song, “You Are I Am.”

Jeremy Camp

Over the last year and a half, Jeremy Camp, an ordained minister, has experienced a season of artistic growth and musical creativity, evident with his new album, I Will Follow. This eighth studio album, released with Capitol CMG, reveals a new level of versatility and depth.

Jeremy often finds God teaches him through song. There are a lot of people hurting, and they often turn to Jeremy because of his platform. The lyrical and biblical depth to Jeremy’s songs reflect years of studying God’s word, in which he gained a foundation from growing up in a pastor’s home and attending Bible college. Ministry for him is a lifestyle, one in which the whole family, who occasionally joins him on the road, participates.

Josh Bramos

As a worship leader in South Florida and a husband with two children, Josh has a heart that longs to help the church learn how to worship the Lord through Scripture. The album titled, “The Well”, is filled with God’s word throughout each song. “By Grace” is the invitation from an unbiased God welcoming everyone. “You Hold The Victory” is from Psalms. The title track, “The Well” is a joyous song that proves God’s “Well” overflows and welcomes all to drink and be satisfied. After releasing “The Well” in 2013, local churches in South Florida took a liking to the organic folk sound of the record and have begun playing these worship songs in their churches.

His newest release is the album titled “The Simple and The Fool”. We become Fools when we take what is Simple and dictate how it should evolve. “Simple” is the gospel.
