If you think youre seeing double next time you catch multiplatinum rock band Lifehouse live,
you're not; it's just that guitarist Sean Woolstenhulme has joined the band, which features his brother
Rick on drums, and the two look remarkably alike.
Lifehouse has made it official: Sean, who'd been touring with them this summer, is the fourth member of the
band, making it a quartet for the first time.
"It's about time the brothers unite as one," says Rick, who'd brought Sean along in 1999 when he auditioned
for the band. "It's great to play music with him because we're so similar. We tend to veer towards the same
planets in space."
Lifehouse has toured for a solid two years, ever since the release of their first album, and is about to
embark on a world tour that takes them to Europe this week and throughout the U.S. in the fall.
Understandably, the band has high expectations for its new member.
Frontman Jason Wade is confident they've found the right player: "Sean is an extremely innovative and
creative lead guitar player who has great stage presence."
Word is already starting to leak out in Nashville and SCC is starting to talk about it from stage at
his concerts... Steven Curtis Chapman has nearly completed his next album. Steven has already finished
the writing and recording phase and the album is currently being mixed and mastered in Los Angeles and
Nashville over the next 3 weeks. The expected released date of the new album is January 28, 2003.
It's entitled All About Love and this new studio recording features 15 new cuts with 12 new songs,
and 3 cover tunes (remakes of previously recorded songs including "I Will Be Here").
All of the songs center around relationships and many are love songs written to or inspired by his wife
Mary Beth. SCC is extremely excited about the album saying, "We worship God best when we love each other
well and I'm anxiously anticipating the chance to share these songs. One of the most powerful ways God
shows Himself to us and teaches us about Himself is through our relationships here on earth, and that's
what these songs focus on. And many of the lyrics are inspired by the relationship God has given me that
I treasure the most, the one with my wife Mary Beth." Also, on November 21st, Steven Curtis Chapman will celebrate
his 40th Birthday! Sparrow Records wants to surprise Steven and give you a chance to wish him a happy
birthday, especially since it's the big 4-0. So e-mail Sparrow at this special address give Steven
your birthday greetings. scc40@creativetrust.com

Pop foursome FFH continued its commitment to building community
this summer. The 2002 Dove Award nominee performed for 22,000 people at five minor league baseball stadiums
and directed a two-week Christian camp experience for families in Pennsylvania.
Recognizing baseball as a family tradition, FFH set out in May to enhance that experience for the communities
of Charleston, S.C., Winston Salem, N.C., Kodak, Tenn., Charlotte, N.C. and Hickory, North Carolina.
FFH kicked off the evening with a patriotic performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and closed the night
with a 70-minute post-game concert. The estimated 350 people who made commitments to Christ were directed
to local churches for follow up. In an unrelated sequence of events, Jennifer Deibler was
featured in a national advertisement for IBM. A photographer spotted Jennifer on the street
in New York City, window-shopping at an accessories store, and asked to take her picture. Jennifer agreed
and posed in the middle of an Italian purse shop (Furla) with a bag in each hand raised high over her head.
Two months later, with her permission, of course, Jennifer's photo appeared in a full-page IBM ad on the
back cover of Section A of The Wall Street Journal. The caption read "Furla Is Playing To Win... IBM."
The ad appeared again in The Wall Street Journal September 9th and in the September 2nd edition of
TIME Magazine. Check out the ad here! FFH is planning its fourth Essential Records release, out spring 2003.
Two-time reigning Gospel Music Association Group of the Year, Third Day,
kicked off the fall leg of its record-breaking “Come Together Tour” Thursday, Sept. 19 in Toledo, Ohio.
The tour, impacting 25 markets through October, welcomes back its Essential Records label mate,
Paul Colman Trio, as a special guest. Also joining the tour for the first time is ForeFront
band Tait, fronted by dc Talk member Michael Tait. The tour played to nearly 14,000 fans
on the first weekend’s dates. The spring leg of the “Come Together Tour” was a monumental achievement,
consistently breaking attendance records; becoming the biggest tour in Third Day’s history and one of the
most successful tours ever in Christian music. Over the course of the 53-city spring tour, Third Day sold
out 30 concerts and performed for more than 225,000 fans.
Flicker Records modern rock band Everyday Sunday, who are continuing
to achieve impressive chart success on both CHR and Christian Rock radio with singles "Mess With Your Mind" and
"Stand Up," accelerate full speed this month, touring nationally with Festival Con Dios and culminating with
a packed day of celebration at the Virgin Megastore in Columbus, OH on September 24th for their debut project,
Stand Up. The events kicked off last evening when the band hosted "Everyday Sunday¹s Ten Most Wanted"
on Radio U and play their ten favorite Christian Rock songs. Immediately following, they hosted a barbeque
and camp out on the Radio U lawn before returning to the studio as guests on the morning show. Among other
giveaways, a drawing will be held for a stretch limo ride with the band to the Virgin Megastore that night,
displaying Everyday Sunday¹s overwhelming gratitude for their supportive fans and community.
³We are so excited about getting to share this with all the people that have believed in us and encouraged
us along the way,² says lead vocalist Trey Pearson. ³Because this isn¹t something we¹ve done on our own-
it¹s something accomplished by so many!² Stand Up hits shelves today!
Inpop records’ artist, Phil Joel, is set to release his second
album on inpop records titled Bring It On on October 22. A follow up to his successful debut solo
project Watching Over You, which generated two top ten radio hits (“Strangely Normal” and “God Is
Watching Over You”), Bring It On is a rock and power pop album that showcases the production talents
of Joe Baldridge (Wes Cunningham, Flick, dcTalk). Joel wrote or co-wrote all ten of the songs featured on
the album, and the record is already being described as more of a classic pop rock project, think Peter
Gabriel meets John Mayer. A member of the Grammy Award nominated group Newsboys, Joel has
been playing bass, singing and songwriting as a part of the group for the last 8 years.
“Being a part of Newsboys has been an incredible learning experience for me, one that I was able to build on
for Watching Over You. With Bring It On, it took my experiencing so much in my family life,
solo-career life and Newsboys-life to come to God and just say, ‘I’m tired of myself!,” and just give
everything to Him” says Joel. “The great thing about doing another solo album is that I get a chance to
share more personally about the things that God has been doing in my life over this past year, and this year
has probably been the most life-changing year ever.”
Bebo Norman's Sept. 10 release, Myself When I Am Real,
achieved impressive first week sales. As a result, Norman's third project with Essential Records landed at
No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The record additionally claimed the No. 8 position on Billboard's
Top Internet Sales chart. On the Christian market charts, it was the week's fourth best-selling album,
garnering the No. 1 position on SoundScan's ® Christian Adult Contemporary Albums chart.
This is the second time Norman has attained Heatseeker's status, a category that identifies the best-selling
titles by new and developing artists throughout the music industry at large. His sophomore release,
Big Blue Sky, debuted at No. 4. Equally impressive, Norman's position on the Top Internet sales
chart pushed him ahead of popular mainstream acts such as Nelly, Dave Matthews and Eminem.
We had the pleasure of speaking to Mark Stuart, the lead singer of
pop/rock quartet Audio Adrenaline at the Williamsport Festival Con Dios date about their
upcoming album. Stuart informed us that the tentative title for their new record is Worldwide
with a release date aiming for February. "It's a record to take a generation that's done a lot of worship
to the next step," explains Stuart. "[It's about] worshipping with your whole life." Some song titles
already established include "Worldwide," "Go & Be," "Strong," "Pierced," and "You Ruined My Life."
Stuart also mentioned a song called "Get Dirty," and was quick to explain, "It's about getting out of the mindset that the
church is supposed to be clean and perfect and to reach out more to the lost." When asked about
the sound the record is going for? "It's more upbeat -- more like Underdog than Lift."
In the meantime, be sure to pick up the band's amazing current release Lift, which features
such favorites as "Ocean Floor," "You Still Amaze Me," and "Beautiful." Also, you can now get the limited edition copy
of Lift with a new cover for only $10, only available at Festival Con Dios!
Toby McKeehan also informed us of the status of the infamous hip-hop flavored pop/rock trio
dc Talk. Toby stated that he all three members have plans for follow-up solo albums to their 2001 debuts.
Upon completing those projects, the group will decide where to dc Talk next. Toby insisted that the group
isn't finished yet, although none of the guys know where the band will be going next as a whole. However,
in other dc Talk news, avid fans will be happy to know that the Free At Last Movie that was
looking at a 1995 release but never made it out of the cutting room will now be released to video/DVD
later this year! We'll keep you posted on any new developments.
Sixpence None the Richer much delayed project, Divine Discontent is releasing October 29th,
but Word Records has stated that the band has actually re-entered the studio to record one last song
for the project. The band will be covering "Don't Dream It's Over," by Crowded House and adding it
to the album to complete it. In the meantime, on October 1st, you'll be able to pick up the band's
first single, "Breathe Your Name," which will feature the previously unreleased track "Northern Lights,"
which didn't make the final album.
Skillet offered this update on their pending DVD release in a recent newsletter:
"We still have been busy but things
are slowing down with the completion of our DVD entitled The Unplugged
Invasion. It is very different from the normal Skillet show. It is an
unplugged set (hence the name) and the arrangements are transposed to fit
acoustic guitar better. We also played with a mini drum set complete with
congas and bongos. All that to say I think
that our fans will think it is cool. The DVD is due to be released on
November 19th."
The Benjamin Gate recently wrapped the filming of their latest video for
their song “Lift Me Up” from their current release, Contact. Starting
before 4:00 in the morning, the band spent all day on the tarmac of an
airfield near Nashville in 90+ degree weather. The band kept cool by
hanging out in the shade of the grounded plane’s wings, drinking lots of
water and sucking on popsicles. To get a sneak peak of what the video will
look like, click here.
In other Gate news, please keep lead vocalist Adrienne in prayers who sprained her right ankle
at a recent Festival Con Dios show.
Tree63 is not only back on the scene, but better than ever with
their October 22nd release, The Life and Times of Absolute Truth. With production by Nik Fairclough
and lead singer John Ellis, the South-African based group continues their signature sound,
combining thought-provoking lyrics with modern rock at its finest.
“Tree63’s ability to create hook-filled songs overflowing with meaning and emotion is what makes them a
great rock band. This album reflects the maturity and changes they have experienced since the last record
and it has grown them incredibly as a live band,” says Steve Ford, director of marketing at inpop Records.
inpop Records has officially released the first single "No Words” to CHR radio, which is getting great
initial response. It’s currently going for adds on stations around the US. In addition, inpop has released
another new track, "The Glorious Ones,” to rock radio. Both songs are set to be included in Tree63's
live set on the upcoming 40-city Festival Con Dios tour.
Marking the one-year anniversary of last year’s September 11th attacks, Steven Curtis Chapman
performed at “A Tribute to Grace and Hope,” an event held last Wednesday evening at New York City’s Madison Square
Garden. Being in New York for the commemoration is what meant most to Chapman, and performing at the tribute was a
deep honor. Chapman explains, “The reason this was such a significant thing for me was because this was the first
opportunity I’ve had to be back in New York since last year’s events of September 11th. I’ve really been desiring an
opportunity to come back and minister to the people here, to respond to the needs here, so this has been an
incredible chance to finally do that and be a part of the healing.” During his performance, along with playing
“God Is God” from Declaration, Chapman shared a new song with the audience, a song he wrote just the day
of the performance upon arriving in New York and immediately being moved by the emotions of the city. Titled
“Remember The Day,” he finished writing the song two minutes before going on stage.
“I think much of what they [New York] had hoped tonight was not only remembering the day, but really remembering
in such a way that recognizes this is a significant step in the direction of seeing the healing take place and
really celebrating the hope that has risen out of this,” he comments. Joining Chapman were local firemen,
police officers and political dignitaries, such as New York Governor Pataki. Other performances were from Third Day,
TobyMac and Fred Hammond, as well as a special appearance by New York Knicks’ team members Allan Houston and Charlie Ward,
among others.

of The Eleventh Hour Tour, featuring special guest The Elms and a
tour partnership with international relief organization World Vision.
The fall tour will visit over 40 cities from October through early December with intimate performances in
3,000 – 5,000 seat venues. Special ticket pricing for fans and sound check meet-and-greet events enhance

The O.C. Supertones are gearing up to rock the country with
the much-anticipated release of their new album, Hi-Fi Revival, on October 22nd. The launch will
take place in their southern California home, at the Tower Records in Long Beach. Los Angeles’ KROQ, one
of the nation’s top rock stations, will be in attendance to help promote the event.
Brilliantly produced by experienced duo Brent Bourgeois (WOW Hits 2002, Chris Rodriguez) and Charlie Peacock
(Audio Adrenaline, Switchfoot, Ravi Coltrane) Hi-Fi Revival delivers original and cutting edge
music that presents an evolution of the band and their pop-rock sound. It’s being described as equal parts
Elvis Costello, The Ramones, The Clash, and James Brown.
Band manager Steve Thomas says, “The Supertones are in good company with bands like No Doubt who have their
roots in the Orange County ska movement but have moved on to make great pop records. Hi-Fi Revival
has a fresh, relevant pop rock sound that proves this band has evolved.”
Producer Charlie Peacock says, “The Supertones have come up with some fresh musical flavors, all the while
retaining their original SoCal coolness. I think this new CD is like a box of cinnamon Altoids--strictly
irresistible.” The Supertones just wrapped production on the video for probable first rock single, “Super Fly” in
Los Angeles. The video will be included on a promotional DVD set to come out later in the year.
Next spring, the band will head out on the See Spot Rock Tour with Relient K,
Pillar, and John Reuben.
The tour, running from February through May, will be a one-day rock event set to hit approximately
50 cities. More information on the tour will be announced soon.
Inpop recording artist Superchic[k] is set to launch their next
release, Last One Picked, on October 8th with aggressive marketing and touring efforts.
"At some point, everyone knows what it's like to be the last one picked," says Tricia about the album title.
"The new album addresses some heavy subjects, like a girl we met who won't eat lunch because her jeans don't
fit anymore. She's worried because the world says she's not thin enough when the only person she really needs
to please is God." If Karaoke Superstar fashioned a home run sound, then Last One Picked
hammers a grand slam right out the ballpark. Max Hsu, the group's creative mad scientist, produced the new
album in a way that accentuates their diverse stylistic twists while shooting the sonic levels right off the
charts. Likewise, the new songs offer more pointed commentary about the world's social snares while
encouraging fans to seek and follow God's individual purpose for their lives.
Inpop is approaching this project with fervor and dedication, focusing their efforts around the key 13-18
year old demographic, one that Superchic[k] has been reaching in a solid and consistent way through their
previous project, touring, and one on one time with fans.

Sparrow Records has partnered with Dreamworks to issue the double-platinum selling group Lifehouse’s
sophomore album Stanley Climbfall to the CBA marketplace available September 17th.
This release will follow the band’s highly successful debut album No Name Face, which featured
“Hanging By A Moment,” the Billboard Modern Rock #1 hit and most-played radio track of 2001 as well as #1
for 6 weeks at Modern Rock radio and scanned more than 2.3 million units.
"Sparrow Records is extremely honored to represent DreamWorks's artist Lifehouse to the CBA market,”
states Peter York, Sparrow Records President. “We have championed this band and their music since we first
heard them. We consider this an important opportunity. We will do everything to insure this great music
gets into the hands of as many people as possible. Lifehouse is a band with something significant to
say to the world and we are privileged to support them in this way." “I’m really in a good place now,”
states Wade. “I’m writing more storyteller songs, about how I view certain situations I’ve been in or
witnessed or my friends have been in. Most of the stuff is not written out of conflict—it’s really positive.”
The album's title reflects Wade’s signature approach to lyrics. “Everyone has their ups and downs,”
states Wade. “And after a lot of wordplay a song called ‘Stand, Climb, Fall’ was transformed into
an everyday character named Stanley Climbfall who goes through those kinds of changes.”
It was confirmed last week that tobyMac will be included in the list of

for additional stock. Michael's follow-up worship album, Worship Again releases October 22nd.
Plumb has posted the following update on their newly revamped website, Plumbinfo.com:
"I wanted to personally give you the latest news. I signed to my new label, Curb records, last October.
Almost immediately I began recording the new record, Beautiful Lumps of Coal, with producers like Jay Joyce
(Patti Griffin). I finished it this summer, had the photo shoot, got the website up and running and the
albums now due out EARLY 2003. I know I know, its been pushed back. But simply in order to make the album
that much better and tie up some loose ends so that once its released, all I'll have to think about is
making it to a city near you."

ZOEgirl, and their sophomore follow up, Life, on September 24th.

to show people a different side of ZOEgirl. We hope to continue expanding musically and feel that this album
is a great way to segue way into the different styles of music that we like.”
