BEBO NORMAN’S BETWEEN THE DREAMING AND THE COMING TRUE

IN STORES SEPTEMBER 19th

(Nashville, Tenn.) June 1, 2006 – Artist/producer/composer Bebo Norman has announced the September 19th release of his fifth studio album, and first in two years, Between the Dreaming and the Coming True, on Essential Records. The new project was co-produced by Bebo Norman and artist/producer Jason Ingram. Track 6, “The Way We Mend,” was produced by Glenn Rosenstein.

According to Norman, “Between the Dreaming and the Coming True is a turning point for me as an artist. Everything feels new to me again; from the writing process to production and performance. I really couldn’t be more pleased with how these songs turned out, and I can’t wait to get on the road and play them live.” With the arrival of the new album, fans are certain to see and hear a new Bebo Norman, one that has fully stepped into a new place in life. Norman adds, “I’m at a place in my life where I realize it’s alright to be confident…that you can’t be the underdog forever.”

The result of this new-found confidence can be heard on the project through string and horn arrangements that provide more lush and majestic moments, while still being raw in places. String arrangements for the project were done by John Painter. Norman, along with Painter, arranged horns on “I Know Now,” with Painter playing French horn, trumpet and trombone on the song.

Instrumentalists on Between the Dreaming and the Coming True are: Adam Lester – guitar; Tony Lucido – bass; Ken Lewis – drums/percussion; Gabe Scott – accordion; Shane Keister – piano; among other extraordinary musicians.

The first nine songs on the album tell a story, one that Bebo did not set out to tell, but is thankful it came together. Bebo shares, “I’ve never written a group of songs that expressed more intently life lived in the real and in the everyday. It is about hope eternal played out against the backdrop of a difficult world and a sometimes dark age. This is a record about a life of true and honest hope lived somewhere ‘Between the Dreaming and the Coming True’.”

“The title Between the Dreaming and the Coming True was inspired by a book by Robert Benson with the same name. It was so poignant to me because this really is where life as a believer is lived,” says Norman. The story unfolds in the following eleven tracks: “Into The Day,” “Be My Covering,” “Time Takes Its Toll,” “I Know Now,” “I Will Lift My Eyes,” “The Way We Mend,” “To Find My Way To You,” “Bring Me To Life,” “My Eyes Have Seen Holy,” “Sunday,” and “Now That You’re Gone.”

Norman will be touring heavily this fall. For upcoming tour dates and additional information on Bebo Norman, visit www.bebonorman.com.
