Wednesday, July 18, 2007

With a voice conveying authenticity, passion and wisdom, Geoff Moore sings to us of seeing Jesus in the eyes of every person, encouraging all who will listen to respond to their neighbors nearby and a world away with grace, love and mercy. But more than merely singing the Good News to tracks laden with acoustic guitars, Moore is living out the gospel in his everyday life… Telling the story in concerts across the nation to garner sponsorships for Compassion International… Telling the story around the world as he witnesses to the unfolding and amazing blessing of international adoption… Telling the story to those who will follow as he musically mentors and models Christ to the next generation of artists. As God speaks to him through global poverty, abandoned and needy children, and creation itself, Geoff Moore listens and, like any great pastor and statesman, transforms what he hears into a timely and melodic message of hope and inspiration. A true original, Moore is better than ever on his latest endeavor, Speak to Me. Track Listing:
CD 1:
1. Speak To Me
2. Your Day
3. When I Get Where Im Going
4. Captured
5. Every Single One
6. He Knows My Name
7. Thats What Love Will Do

Third Day

Wherever you are, whoever you are, whatever you are going through, God is ready to meet you right there. No matter where, no matter why, no matter when, there is hope.
Over Third Day's career, the band has tried to give people songs of encouragement and hope, blended with the band's trademark roots-rock style. Wherever You Are encompasses that mission. Songs like "Cry Out To Jesus," "Rise Up," "Eagles," "Carry My Cross," "Tunnel," and "Mountain of God," all carry this central theme. The band explains "It was kind of unintentional, but as we looked back on the songs, they consistently spoke of God meeting you in times of struggle, of overcoming burdens, guilt, circumstances, and being free."
Produced by Brown Bannister (Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, The Afters) and Third Day, Wherever You Are launches November 1st. The band will be on the road this fall hitting many festival dates and will also be aggressively reaching out to radio stations across the country during their multi-city promo tour. In November the band will hit many key markets as they embark on a mini-tour with their Chevrolet sponsor.
