Worship band The City Harmonic and its 5-star-acclaimed album, Benediction Live: Worship from Churches Working Together in Canada, have received four nominations for the 39th Annual GMA Canada Covenant Awards. Featuring the group’s most loved songs recorded at its last concert together, Benediction Live is being offered by the band for a limited time in celebration of the nominations at the special price of $5.99 at iTunes and through the band’s website, TheCityHarmonic.com. The nominations, which include “Group of the Year,” as well as “Album of the Year” and “Worship Album of the Year,” bring the band’s career Covenant nods to 30, with nine wins so far, including awards for “Group of the Year” in 2015 and 2013. The band’s fourth nomination is for “Praise & Worship Song of the Year” for its final new song, “Honestly,” which is also featured on Benediction Live. The Covenant Awards ceremony will be held in Edmonton, AB on January 27. With songs fueled by a “together for the good of the city” ethos, The City Harmonic’s Benediction Live features the first live recording of “Manifesto.” This unifying hit single and worship song that began the band’s worldwide trajectory in 2010 is one of the only modern songs to include the Lord’s Prayer verbatim. Benediction Live, called “quite possibly the best worship release of the year” and “a fitting way to close out the band's storied career,” also features “Praise The Lord,” “Holy (Wedding Day),” “Mountaintop,” “A City On A Hill,” “I Am” and more of the band’s best-loved modern worship anthems of longing, hope and celebration. Rather than a “goodbye,” the album is meant to be a blessing and a sending, as the band explains in the album trailer at www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9BE4EYgqoY. Launching The City Harmonic to No. 1 on the Canadian Christian iTunes chart upon release, along with impacting sales charts in the US and around the world, Benediction Live was independently released worldwide June 23 through The Fuel Music and with support from FACTOR. About The City Harmonic: Born out of a church unity movement in the blue-collar steel town of Hamilton, Ontario, The City Harmonic formed in 2009 after leading worship for inter-denominational student events. By 2011, the band had become the best-selling new artist, won its first Gospel Music Canada Covenant Award, accidentally written the theme music for a National Day of Prayer promotional campaign and had its music played at Major League Baseball stadiums. Nine more Covenant Awards (including two “Group Of The Year” wins), a Juno Award and a Dove Award nomination followed as the band released the critically acclaimed albums I Have A Dream (It Feels Like Home), Heart and We Are that sparked hundreds-of-thousands of album and single sales internationally as well as endorsements from Tommy Shaw (Styx), Mac Powell (Third Day), Peter Furler, Matt Redman, Kyle Korver (Chicago Bulls) and Seth Smith (Baltimore Orioles, Colorado Rockies). The albums also introduced the songs “Manifesto,” “Praise The Lord,” “Holy (Wedding Day),” “Mountaintop” and “A City On A Hill” and more to churches and radio stations internationally garnering hundreds-of-millions of radio listeners and streams on Spotify, YouTube and more. The band further appeared at virtually all major Christian festivals across the US and Canada, toured Europe and Guatemala, toured with Franklin Graham and Newsboys, led at the National Worship Leader Conference, and made appearances on “Beyond A.D.” (NBC.com), CBC’s “The National,” Huffington Post, RELEVANT and hundreds of other media outlets internationally.
