Casting Crowns

With nearly 8.2 million career album sales, three Grammy Awards, an American Music Award and 14 Dove Awards, Casting Crowns has secured its place as one of the most popular Christian bands of all time. In an unprecedented eight-year span, the group has performed in front of nearly one million fans in 175 different cities. Their nine chart-topping radio singles include passionate hits like “Who Am I,” “Voice of Truth,” “Lifesong” and “East to West.”

The band’s most recent album, Come to the Well, derives from the group members’ personal experiences and struggles. The lead single, “Courageous,” exemplifies the band’s powerful lyrical style as well as their commitment to bold, uncompromising faith and was featured in the 2011 Sherwood Pictures film by the same title. The album’s follow-up track, “Jesus Friend of Sinners,” was a Billboard top ten hit and continues to receive wide radio play.

With additional anthems like “If We Are the Body,” “Praise You in this Storm,” “Until the Whole World Hears” and “Glorious Day” it is no wonder Casting Crowns continues to enjoy a growing, enthusiastic fan base.

Jeremy Camp

Known for his booming voice and passionate faith in the face of tragedy, Jeremy Camp has inspired fans for over a decade. His soulful enthusiasm and sincere melodies have earned him five Dove awards, three AMA Award nominations and 25 number-one hit songs, including “Walk By Faith,” “I Still Believe” and “There Will Be a Day.”

Since the release of his debut record in 2002, Camp has produced 11 albums, including two live recordings, four RIAA gold-certified albums and his 2012 release of I Still Believe: Number Ones, a collection of his greatest hits.  His most recent single, “Reckless,” continues to climb the charts, joining the ranks of other hits like “Take You Back,” “This Man” and “Overcome.
