Point Of Grace
Since forming at Ouachita Baptist University 19 years ago, Point of Grace has emerged as one of the biggest names in Christian music with their signature chill-inducing harmonies, anthemic choruses and powerful lyrics that poignantly capture life’s simple yet vital messages. The two-time Grammy nominees have sold more than 6.5 million albums and earned 24 consecutive No. 1 singles (27 total including radio staples “Steady On”, “The Great Divide” and “Circle of Friends”), a feat unmatched by any artist in any genre. They’ve won 10 prestigious Dove Awards, including Country Recorded Song of the Year in 2008 for “How You Live” and Country Recorded Song of the Year in 2009 for “I Wish.” In conjunction with their new album, they are releasing a new cookbook, Cooking with Grace, featuring personal photos and stories to help raise money for an African orphanage.

James Wesley
"I’ve always been a big believer in tradition," declares James Wesley. "A lot of the old ways are the best ways: family, God, treating people right, doing what you’re supposed to do. I think it’s time to come back to what’s real. That’s what country music is about." James Wesley puts those core values into his music with a whiskey-smooth voice and a timelessly winning way with a great country song. Wesley sings directly to real people about real things that profoundly affect real lives—and from his small-town upbringing to his blue-collar work ethic, he has a deep understanding of what those folks are longing to hear.

Country's Newest Husband And Wife Duo is comprised of husband and wife, Keifer and Shawna Thompson. Shawna was born in Laurel, Mississippi and raised in the small south Alabama town of Chatom. She grew up under the influence of great artists including Reba McEntire, Shelby Lynne, Etta James, Patty Loveless and the super group, Alabama. Keifer hails from the northeastern Oklahoma town of Miami. Music was always very important in his life and he recalls, "I was raised on Roger Miller and Elvis. I remember listening to daddy's vinyl records and learning to play guitar while entertaining the family in my cut off jeans and cowboy boots."

Craig Campbell
Old-school Country finds a new champion in Craig Campbell. His songs and his warm but rugged singing feel like a friendly conversation. The passion of Travis Tritt and the entire body of Alan Jackson's work made their marks on Campbell. In his first single, "Family Man," which Campbell wrote with Jon Henderson and Joel Shewmake, the lyric, the voice and even the steely piano tone pay homage to Jackson while also defining Campbell's distinctive style.
