NATALIE GRANT BRINGS THE ‘RELENTLESS TOUR 2008’ TO AUDIENCES AROUND THE COUNTRY THIS SPRING
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
In support of the February 12 release of her best-selling and critically acclaimed seventh album, Relentless, Curb recording artist and GMA’s reigning Female Vocalist of the Year, Natalie Grant, is set to bring the “Relentless Tour 2008” to audiences across the country this spring. Sponsored by Gospel Music Channel, the Tour will include special guest Inpop recording artist Jimmy Needham, and introduce new Axiom recording artist Ashmont Hill.
Kicking-off March 8 in Woodward, Oklahoma, the “Relentless Tour 2008” will hit Atlanta; Decatur, Illinois; Mobile, Alabama; Virginia Beach, Virginia; and Boca Raton, Florida, among other cities this spring. During the Tour, Grant will perform selections from Relentless, as well as many of her signature songs, including the powerful hit “Held.”
Relentless, Grant’s first studio recording in nearly three years, debuted on Nielsen SoundScan’s Top Christian Albums and Christian Retail charts at #2, as the highest debut and top album by a female artist on both charts. The project’s first single, “In Better Hands,” is a multi-format Christian radio hit.
Grant recently earned the Gospel Music Association’s most prestigious Dove Award nomination, Artist of the Year, and has been nominated once again for Female Vocalist of the Year, a distinction she has held since 2006. Grant is among a select few in the genre to have also achieved a formidable foothold at mainstream media and radio. A tireless advocate for victims of human trafficking, she was one of the first Christian artists to raise awareness of this worldwide atrocity. Grant created the Home Foundation in 2005 to support various anti-trafficking efforts around the world.
Houston, Texas-based, singer/songwriter Jimmy Needham first made a name for himself on the independent circuit with his soulful pop sound and passionate evangelical focus. Needham’s Inpop Records debut, Speak, released in 2006 and showcased his down-to-earth lyrics while exposing the rock, pop and gospel-influenced side of his art as well. The album produced a #2 single at Christian Hit Radio with “Lost At Sea,” and its song “Dearly Loved” also broke the Top 10 on CHR. Last fall Needham was featured on tour with NewSong, Echoing Angels and Nate Sallie. His sophomore album, Not Without Love, is due in stores August 19.
Axiom Records group Ashmont Hill is preparing to release their debut self-titled album on May 13. Getting their name from “Ashmont Hill,” an idyllic community near Boston, the group of four (all related by blood or marriage) has made beautiful, spiritual music for years in Jubilee Church, where their father is Bishop. Phil Thompson, sisters April Joy Thompson and Deborah Bullock, along with Deborah’s husband, Will Bullock, heard the call from the Lord to bring their music to a larger community. Ashmont Hill’s album is a true collaborative effort between the band and their producer Sal Oliveri, with vocal arrangements by Calvin Nowell.

Okay, so I am proving to myself that I can be quite resourceful. I was at a festival, getting ready in the back of my bus, and I realized I had no iron. But have no fear, I always have many useful things in my bags of tricks! Who knew a hair straightening iron [...]

Natalie,
I had the privilege of getting to see you in concert in KC, MO. This was my third time to see you in concert and as always you and your band were Awesome! I was chosen to be one to meet and greet you, but didn’t know it until the next day when I got back to work and read my e-mails. Maybe next time. That would have meant so much to me to have met you..because you have helped me so much through your songs and your book. I am a recovering anorexica and you and your songs, book and story have been such an inspiration to me. Thank you for being such a wonderful servant of the Lord. He is using you in such mighty ways. Thank you for setting such a great example. I am anxious to see how God will use me to reach out to others with this disease. Keep Shining Jesus!! May God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry. Hope to see you the next time you come to KC. God’s Blessings and Love!!
I just want to say “Thank You” to Natalie for sharing her God-given talent and leading us in worship last night at Byhalia UMC in MS. I was moved to say the least. The words in your songs along with the music really speak to me and help me praise my Lord and Savior! I appreciate the sacrifices you make to grow God’s kingdom! Your band is so awesome! Jimmy Needham and Ashmont Hill were fantastic!
We saw you in concert last night in Bethel Park and it was awesome!
Thank you for sharing your talent and your love for God. May He continue to bless you, your family, your band and your music ministry to the fullest.
