Our closing guest for SUMMER OF SOUNDS is none other than Luke Anderson. Luke was a part of Elevation Church for over 10 years and has played drums on several Elevation Worship albums and tours. Luke is also a drum instructor, a sessions musician, and creates drum samples for MultiTracks.com.

Mike and Luke chat about Extremely Small Drums (our April Fool’s collab) & not taking yourself too seriously, his tenure at Elevation Church, how the audition process is still necessary and refining in the worship space, and urges against letting the thing your called to become your identity. This is a special one! Thanks so much to Mike Graff of Coresound for hosting this series. We’ll be back for Season 4 this fall!

Israel & New Breed | NewBreed Anthem + Miracles Signs & Wonders

Two singles from Israel & New Breed's upcoming album, Worship Anywhere, are available now! Both "NewBreed Anthem" and "Miracles Signs & Wonders" offer a joyful, stomp-clap singalong that sets the tone for the album, as well as a dynamic, feel-good groove.

“When you read the Psalms about praising God, it’s very descriptive,” notes Joth Hunt. “Clap your hands all you people, shout to God your voice of triumph, rejoice before Him, dance before the Lord with all your might – a lot of these scriptures paint a picture of what praise should be like. And it’s obviously a celebration. My encouragement for the Church globally is to not lose that celebration of praise,” continues Hunt. “Whenever we do it, it really does break through the atmosphere...almost breaks people open, dusts them off and gets them into a place where they can receive from God."

Phil Wickham | Behold (feat. Anna Wilson)

"What a joy it is to release my new Christmas single 'BEHOLD,'" shares Phil Wickham. "I love how this song balances both new and familiar Christmas lyrics, and I can’t wait to sing this one with the Church. Thanks to the very talented Anne Wilson for joining me on it!"

Josh Baldwin | I See The Light

What joy can we not feel when reminded of the new life that comes when we put our life in Jesus’ hands! While His sacrifice may seem overwhelming and incomprehensible, He desires for us to know and feel His love. "I See The Light" takes us to a place of joy and remembrance for all He has done for us.

Tasha Cobbs Leonard | The Church I Grew Up In

"'The Church I Grew Up In' tells the story of this album. It’s what the whole record is all about. We had footage playing behind us of the very first church my father built back in my hometown. The song starts off by saying, 'There’s a little white church in Georgia with the steeple still attached,' and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It’s a revival song. It’s a reminder that who we are matters, that the Church matters, that the Church is still alive. I think it’s important to remind people of that coming out of this pandemic. Even though our faith may have been shaken, God’s Church is still alive and His power is still here. The song captures everything I want this album to say."

Tribl x SONS THE BAND | Cross and Empty Grave

SONS THE BAND shares: "This song speaks to the grandness of God's majesty and wonder, and yet His desire to draw close and know us by name. It acknowledges that this mystery is only possible through the work that Jesus did on the cross and the victory He won by the empty grave."

Chris Tomlin x Steffany Gretzinger | O Lord, You're Beautiful

“This project is all about helping people have an encounter with God through worship and this next song we are releasing, 'O Lord, You're Beautiful' with my dear friend Steffany Gretzinger, is a song that for me personally, does just that…'' shared Chris Tomlin.  “During the pandemic I started to do church at home with my girls, and each Sunday we would gather around the piano and worship as a family. Very quickly this song, written decades ago by the legendary Keith Green, became an anthem for us and soon became the catalyst for this record. I don’t often record covers, but I am so excited to come behind and champion a song as powerful as this one is for the Church.”

Brandon Lake x Essential Worship | Song Sessions EP

Brandon Lake shares: “I love creating all kinds of music but nothing, absolutely nothing, feels as satisfying and rewarding than creating songs that the church can sing and experience God through. These few songs on this Song Sessions EP have been some of my favorite to not only lead but to hear the people of God cry out to. From vertical laughter that expresses our gratitude to God, to declarations against fear and anxiety and even belief for the miraculous, you can find my story in these songs and maybe even find pieces of yours.”

Jonathan Traylor | You Got Me

Jonathan Traylor releases the next in a series of singles, “You Got Me”. This song is a reminder that no matter what trials and tribulations we may face, God is always holding onto us and steering the ship through the storm.

Rita Springer | Nothing to Buy (feat. kalley)

God's love does not come heavy with expense or the weight of a pay back. His mercy and kindness, salvation and grace are free. There were three females in the room writing this song. We sat talking about God's blood gift and how important the table is that He offers us a seat at. A place where we don’t have to perform or try hard to impress. Those that do not know Him come in to find the surprise of His freedom while those that do, need the great reminder. "Nothing To Buy" offers us the hearing again of how God would call us into His heart, which is still the freest place we could ever encounter!
