SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY - September 30, 2026 - Country recording artist, songwriter, author, pastor and speaker Daryl Boyer today releases his new 13-track album, Grace & Gravel Roads, a modern country project built around real life, real trials, faith, family, redemption and the hope of finding purpose on the other side of difficult seasons.

Blending contemporary country storytelling with Boyer's rock-country edge, Grace & Gravel Roads moves between songs that confront hard realities and songs that point toward change, breakthrough and hope. Rather than separating faith from everyday life, Boyer allows the two to intersect throughout the record - in relationships, failures, struggles, second chances and the decisions that ultimately determine which direction a life will go.

The new album follows Boyer's previous #1 radio singles "Never Looking Back" and "Running Down Revival."

"MADE FOR MORE THAN ME" LEADS RADIO CAMPAIGN

The album's first official radio single, "Made for More Than Me," is being serviced to radio through Play MPE this week, making the song available to radio programmers and music directors through the professional music-delivery platform.

"'Made for More Than Me' really captures one of the biggest messages I want people to take from this album. We spend so much of life asking what our gifts, opportunities and calling can do for us. But somewhere along the way, I realized that what God put in me was never supposed to end with me. There is a different kind of purpose that comes alive when what you've been given becomes something God can use to change somebody else's life. That's really the heart of this song - you were made for more than just you."
- Daryl Boyer

"You were made for more than just you."

Radio programmers and music directors will be able to locate Daryl Boyer - "Made for More Than Me" through Play MPE as the radio release becomes available this week.

REAL SONGS ABOUT REAL BATTLES

Another of the album's deeply personal tracks, "This Ends Tonight," tackles destructive patterns, bondage and the moment a person decides that what has controlled the past will not be permitted to determine the future.

"'This Ends Tonight' comes from a much more personal place. There are things that can travel through families and through our own lives for years - addiction, destructive patterns, shame, fear, choices that keep taking us back to the same places. At some point somebody has to say, 'It stops here.' I've had to make those decisions in my own life. This song is about that moment when you're done negotiating with what has kept you bound. You draw the line, surrender it to God and decide that what controlled yesterday doesn't get to control tomorrow."
- Daryl Boyer

"What controlled yesterday doesn't get to control tomorrow."

That combination of honest struggle and determined hope runs throughout Grace & Gravel Roads. The album does not attempt to present a polished picture of a life without problems. Instead, Boyer writes from the perspective that difficult roads, failures and battles do not have to be the end of the story.

GRACE & GRAVEL ROADS - 13 TRACKS

1. Truth Don't Bend
2. Shifting Gears
3. Coming Home to You

For listeners drawn to the authentic storytelling, strong vocals, roots-driven musicianship and contemporary country sound associated with artists such as Cody Johnson, Luke Combs and Zac Brown Band, Grace & Gravel Roads occupies familiar musical territory while carrying Boyer's own rock-country identity and faith-centered perspective.

TWO MAJOR RELEASES FIVE DAYS APART

The album release comes only five days after the September 25 release of Boyer's new book, For Such a Time as Now: A Call to Courageous Christianity in a Compromising Culture, published by Kharis Publishing.

The book challenges believers toward courageous Christianity, obedience, holiness and a faith capable of standing firm in a culture increasingly shaped by compromise.

Together, the two releases represent two sides of Boyer's work as an artist, author, pastor and speaker - using music and the written word to address real struggles while pointing people toward transformation, freedom, purpose and a deeper relationship with Christ.

RADIO & MEDIA AVAILABILITY

Boyer is available for radio interviews, television appearances, podcasts, print and digital interviews, album features, live conversations and other media opportunities surrounding Grace & Gravel Roads, "Made for More Than Me," and For Such a Time as Now.
