Good Morning friends, Hopefully you are all having a great first week back on the grind after the New Year! I wanted to start this year out with a bang, by sharing one of my favorite albums of last year with you. Last year, the Robbie Seay Band left their record label and decided to put out their newest album independently. The album is called Rich & Poor and it’s one of their strongest efforts [...]

Good morning! I hope you are all having a wonderful December so far. In this, the last month of 2011, I wanted to share with you a great album of Christmas tunes re-imagined. We have shared a few of these songs before, but I thought it would be a great opportunity to provide a link to hear the whole thing! If you are not on Spotify, you should be, it’s free and you can stream [...]

One of my favorite bands, Switchfoot, came out with their newest album this past month, and it’s called Vice Verses. Their last record, Hello Hurricane, was my favorite album of theirs to date, so I’m very excited to share this new album with you. Vice Verses is a rock album through and through, and a solid evolution for what the band did on Hello Hurricane. Switchfoot has taken a harder edge on the tone of [...]

It’s a bit late in the month for this feature, but I really wanted to find just the right album to share with you. This one is a few years old, (released in 2006 I believe) but it has stood as one of my favorite records by one of the most talented bands. Of all their incredible albums, this live one is my favorite. It is the perfect mix of fun uptempo tracks that make [...]

Most of you have probably heard of Jesus Culture by now, their songs are everywhere in contemporary churches. They bring a level of passion to their songs that is hard to match. Born of a youth movement at Bethel Church in Redding, California, Chris Quilala, Kim Walker-Smith and Melissa How’s talent and passion helped grow the movement to something much larger than a local gathering. They have released several albums, that are a mix of [...]

Kristian Stanfill first showed up on my radar with his song “Lord of All”. It was one of the first songs I ever heard when I came to Cornerstone, and I just fell in love with it. The message it proclaims is great, and the melody is just perfect. Since then, I have become a big fan of Kristian’s music. Kristian is a worship leader from Atlanta, and is part of the Passion Movement. In [...]

Cornerstone Church Loves Hillsong United. They are some of the most passionate and talented people out there making music to glorify our God. Their new album Aftermath, is only their second studio project, with the rest of their albums being recorded live. I wanted to spend some time with this album and really let it all soak in before I considered sharing it as our Album of the Month. After owning it for a few [...]

One of the perks of writing for a Music-centric blog is getting to find and share some great artists who people may not otherwise hear about. The Civil Wars is a collaberative project by John Paul White and Joy Williams. Joy Williams has been a part of the Contemporary Christian Music movement for a while and has garnered eleven Dove Award Nominatations throughout her career. She is also a well respected songwriter and has written [...]

In my time at Cornerstone I have become a HUGE fan of the Robbie Seay Band. I literally love every song I have ever heard them play. His voice is unique, and their writing is beautifully transparent and honest. His latest release is called Miracle, and came out in March of 2010. This is one of the few albums that I own that I cannot seem to get tired of. From start to finish, it [...]

If you’ve been going to Cornerstone for a while, you’ve probably heard of our friends Future of Forestry. They are one of the best bands working right now, and if you have had the privilege of seeing them perform live, you know why! They are some of the most passionate musicians, and it shows in their performances. They released an EP of Christmas music in 2008, and now in 2010, they have released Part II! [...]
