BEBO NORMAN NOT QUITE READY FOR MAJOR LEAGUES
Sporting Accident Does Not Interfere With Upcoming Album and Tour Plans

(Nashville, Tenn.) June 9, 2006 – During a recent intense game of wiffle ball, artist/producer/composer Bebo Norman sustained a broken leg while attempting to score the go-ahead run at the plate during the First Annual Memorial Day Invitational in Nashville, Tenn. Immediate medical reports indicate that Norman will need to be placed on the 15-day disabled list, possibly extending beyond that period. The September 19, 2006 release of Between the Dreaming and the Coming True, all summer concert dates and Norman’s extensive fall tour in support of the new project all have the green light, however.

Barely missing a step, Norman comments from his crutch-supported stance, “I was safe I tell ya, safe!” (more…)

With one Dove Award (Rock Album of the Year 2005) under their belt and a Grammy nomination for best Gospel Rock Album (2005), Day of Fire is emerging as a powerful force in Christian Music.

From dayoffire.com:

“With music that pounds the body and soul, Day of Fire’s “Cut & Move” deals with cutting yourself away from the failures of yesterday, leaving behind the burdens of the past, and moving into the future,” according to lead singer Josh Brown.”

Josh Brown, the high energy, humble, and charismatic lead singer of Day of Fire has an awesome testimony that chronicles his days leading the heavy metal group Full Devil Jacket. (more…)
