Los Angeles, CA (April 4, 2017) – Much-acclaimed instrumentalist, Jonathan Firey, has partnered with arts and crafts mega-store, Hobby Lobby, to release a two-disc compilation of acoustic guitar hymns. Available now, Bless this Home is being sold exclusively at Hobby Lobby locations across the country and can be heard via the overhead music system in-store. This is Firey’s second instrumental album for the company.

“I have always enjoyed working with Hobby Lobby, and creating Bless this Home has been another great experience with their company. I greatly appreciate them giving me the freedom to create the type of music I love, and making that music available to such a wide audience through their stores."

Filled with Firey’s favorite hymns, the track listing includes many well-loved songs such as “What A Friend We Have in Jesus,” “Amazing Grace,” “‘Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus,” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” as well as several original songs.

In addition to his instrumental releases, Firey has spent the last ten years recording, touring and ministering with his wife, Allison, as the duo, NewFire. Taking a break from the road to have a quiet season as they focus on raising their two daughters, ages 3 and 4, the couple is currently on staff as music pastors at Valley Christian Fellowship in Solvang, CA.
