We know, we know. There have been several false starts regarding the release of Over The Grave: The Hymns Of Isaac Watts, Volume One. We think you’ll find it worth the wait, but at the same time, we’re chomping at the bit to release this record. As you know, the main reason for the delays has been record label negotiations (and the frustrating thing is, we can’t simply blog about all the behind-the-scenes stuff because of legalities).
Here is what I can tell you now: we’re releasing this project very soon, but in several stages. The timeline is:
Advance release — As noted recently here at sojournmusic.com, the Sojourn Music worship band will be leading worship two nights at the big Advance ‘09 Conference in Raleigh, North Caroline - Thursday, June 4 and Saturday, June 6. We will also be playing at a special event, “Re:Sound,” during Advance on Friday, June 5, along with a worship band from Vintage21 and one from Mars Hill Church. We’ll have CDs available all three nights, and will be performing songs from Over The Grave at this conference.
Internet Release — We will have the physical CDs for sale here on sojournmusic.com beginning Tuesday, June 16. We will not be offering it as a digital download through iTunes and other digital internet stores until later this summer. I’ll be able to give you more details on that soon.
Louisville Release Party — We will hold a release party for Over The Grave on Friday.
So there you have it. We will also begin giving you some ear candy beginning Tuesday, June 2 on our Myspace page and our Facebook page. We will release one new mp3 per week beginning that date and culminating with the national CD release date of June 19.

Woohoo!
Actually we’ll start releasing one new mp3 per week on Facebook and Myspace this Tuesday, May 26, rather than the first Tuesday in June.
I live in Raleigh and would love to come see you play. How can I get more info on the conference?!
Great, Courtney, we’d love to see you. Check out this link for details on the location and time. It’s a free event:

After hearing the first track on facebook, I am even more stoked than I was before! Really good stuff. Major props to Sojourn Music, they continue to pursue excellence with the gifts God has blessed them with. Can’t wait for the release party!!!
