  Corey Brooks

 

 

Hey All,
More Updates!

Corey just finished his first semester of online classes from Liberty University.  He took his religion classes first. Next is Evangelism and youth ministry.

 
 TO GOD BE THE GLORY IN THIS ALL......MAY HIS WILL ALWAYS BE DONE IN THIS MINISTRY!!!
 

 

 

****Corey's much anticipated junior album entitled 'About You' is now available! It is a heartfelt masterpiece with five songs penned by Corey. He is signed with Lamon Records.****

DJ's and fans be sure to get this great new CD from rising star Corey Brooks with songs Real Man, I Need You Lord, Never Too Much, In Myself, Come, One Cross Plus 3 Nails, Until We Know, About You, This Time, God is Good!

    

"Nothing in this world you see / compares to the hope we have when we believe / real life hasn't started yet"

With these very words from the title track of his fourth album 'Real Life', a wiser, more mature Corey Brooks is ready to share this hope with the world.

At 17, this singer-songwriter and soon to be actor, has seen more than his share of award shows and sold out venues. With a resume, that of a veteran in the industry, he garnished a Gospel Music Association 'Dove' nomination for Country Gospel Album of the Year. He received the Presidents Award for Outstanding Achievement from the International Country Gospel Music Association and took home the win for New Artist of the Year from the Inspirational Country Music Awards, all among his most notable honors.

With the 2006 album success of 'About You', Corey felt a greater challenge in making his new album 'Real Life'. "The concept of this album was to sing about life experiences, just to be real, to be me," explains Corey. "I have such a diverse age range of fans, I wanted to bridge that gap and have something everyone could relate to without compromising my concept. I feel this is a great success with 'Real Life.' ”

As in the past three albums, Corey once again has contributed several self-penned songs. The upbeat song 'Six Feet Under,' opens the eyes of the listener to the fact that we cannot walk around 'spiritually dead' and be of any effect to God's Kingdom. While the ballad ' Granny Jean,' is a slow Inspirational Country song that tugs at the heart and reminds us to let the people we care about know how we feel. Another powerful song, 'See You Here,’ written on the night of hearing of a friends loved one dying in a car crash. "It’s a different kind of song for me. Through a lot of emotions, I think I realized that sometimes, being the imperfect humans that we are, we question when tragedy has come our way. In the end we just accept that part of life is accepting death and by letting God see us through the healing process we can cherish the memories." 'Your Always There' has a bluegrass feel to it, while 'Don't Have to Leave' co-written with Charles Cook has more of a praise and worship contemporary sound. Also included is Corey's version of 'Whatever,' 'Power in the Blood,' a rendition of 'I'll Fly Away Medley,' 'Seven Sundays' and his title song 'Real Life' that is already proven to be a mass favorite among test crowds.

Corey has always contributed his career decisions and love for music as a 'God thing'. "I remember sitting in the pew coloring in a book, and the preacher, my Uncle Bobby, was telling how we all needed Jesus, I was only five at the time...but I got it! I asked Jesus into my heart right then and was baptized the next week," Corey recalls.  "When I was twelve, I KNEW God wanted me to do something. I did not realize that it was what I was already doing...singing, until almost a year later. It seems like before I knew it, He was taking me down paths I never dreamed, and I love it," exclaims Corey.

From the very beginning, the entire family has believed that Ministry and Career can coexist. "As long as God is glorified, ministry/career will be no more or no less than what God intends it to be," explains Corey’s Mom. " We have to be diligent on our part, not listen to the negativity of those that try to make 'it' less than what it is, and God WILL make 'it' what he wants it to be."

In June 2004, Corey accepted a recording contract with Lamon Records. "We are excited to work with Corey. We not only believe in his talent, but we believe in his ministry for the Lord," said Dave Moody, President of Lamon Records. Almost four years and three CD's later, Corey still feels that signing with Lamon has been a great growth experience. With worldwide radio air play, national distribution on-line and retail, recognition by major music industry professionals and organizations, calls from concert promoters to open for such people as Newsboys and T-Bone, music videos for 2007, film opportunities, churches, youth camps, fairs, and even schools, ministry and career opportunities have flourished.

Rene' Jones
"The Christian Cowboy"

Born in "L.A." (in this case, "Lower Ashton"), a small community on the outskirts of Walterboro, South Carolina, Rene' was raised singing in the church. Since his family was involved in farming, he spent many hours singing, while riding the tractors and working the land. In his late teens, Rene' joined the gospel group The Beacons. It was this gospel background which gave Rene' his vibrant and smooth voice of today. He sings with such passion, putting his heart, body and soul into his music, making his audience "feel" his songs.

After leaving The Beacons, Rene' decided to try his hand at country music. He performed in a menagerie of acts, such as variety shows, private parties, night clubs, fund raisers, beauty pageants, annual festivals, parades, etc. He was a featured entertainer at the 1987 March of Dimes Telerama, broadcast from Charleston, South Carolina.

In October, 1990, Rene' released his debut country album, "Trying Times" which he dedicated in memory of his father. "Trying Times" contains two duets that were written by and personally given to him by Paul Overstreet. Rene' had the pleasure in March, 1992 of performing in concert with Linda Davis. After two sold-out performances, this sparked a decision to further pursue a career in country music. With stars in their eyes, he and his wife moved to Nashville the next month and embarked on a series of tours across Eastern United States. During this time, Rene' released another country album, "Never Going Back". November, 1997 brought forth yet another country album, "Just for the Record" which boasts of some of Nashville's best songwriters and studio musicians. It was this album that brought Rene' within inches of a record deal. However, at the last minute, the "big guys" decided Rene' was too country and signed their second choice artist for the deal. Imagine being too country for country music!

In 2003, Rene' felt God was calling him back to his roots of gospel music. A new genre of gospel music had evolved called Christian Country (or Country Gospel), and Rene' felt led to pursue this route. It is totally amazing how well things work when God is involved! In March, 2005, Rene' released his first Christian Country single on radio, "I'm On A Holy Roll" with GodsChild Records. His first Christian Country CD, "Down On My Knees" is now available for purchase through Rene', his wife, Edie, or through the website. The songs that have been released are already charting on the Christian Country charts, the Country Gospel charts, and the International Country Gospel charts. Work has begun on a second CD which will hopefully be available by Summer, 2007.

Even though life has dealt Rene' some trying times, he draws from his faith in God and continues to look forward to a future that is full of possibilities. His potential is endless, and his dreams are as big as the sky!

                                                  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

ON DEBUT ALBUM, KRIS MILLER PROVES SHE IS ALIVE AND WELL

Kris Miller has made it her goal in life to serve Our Father in Heaven and put her astounding creative talent to use singing praises to Him. Her remarkable debut solo album, Alive and Well, takes her one big step closer toward reaching that goal. Its inspirational songs are a blend of everything from contemporary Christian and modern gospel to rock, blues, and progressive jazz.

But before you dismiss her as "just another Christian musician," let it be known that this music is built for both believers and non-believers, both devout Christians and those not affiliated with any particular house of worship. These songs are universal. They make you feel good about the world around you, and they inspire you to go out and make that world an even better place. With each song, she crosses new borders, leaving behind the wisdom and spirit for all to benefit from.

"My prayer would be that people would have a totally uplifting experience after hearing the CD and their heart and mind would be open to the divine revelations that are flowing through the airways these days," she says. "I want to give them hope when there is not hope, and love where there is none, and faith that the good things are always happening, even when we cannot see them."

In addition to the release of Alive and Well, Kris is the conductor of an a cappella choir known as Pure Righteousness, a group that has performed and recorded its songs across the nation, and has released an album entitled A Day of Pure Righteousness. Kris has written hundreds of songs throughout her life, one of which (the new single, "Blessed Be," from Alive and Well) is currently being released by HMG Nashville to 3,000 radio stations across the globe. In addition, Kris is already hard at work on recording new material for her next album.

But despite all of her newfound momentum, Kris makes sure to pause and give credit where it is due. "All the credits and glory go to God. I feel like I am the caretaker of this music, but He gets the credit. It all comes from the Spirit. I am just the voice box."

"Alive and Well" is an album that can joyously bring together many diverse cultures, for those ‘with ears to hear and eyes to see.’ "This is a major step in the right direction for a debut CD." - Toni Koch, Warrior Girl Music

Kris Miller’s debut solo album, Alive and Well, is currently available at her Web site, www.krismillermusic.com, and at www.cdbaby.com/cd/krismiller.

Gospel Classics Extends a Big Welcome to Artist Margie Cumbie!

Margie Cumbie 
Margie Cumbie of Huntsville, Alabama would rather sing than just about anything.
She has recorded two CD's* in the last year in Razzy Bailey's (www.razzybailey.com) Studio in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville Tennessee.
Her style can be described as a cross between Patsy Cline and Rosemary Clooney with a touch of Doris Day... and then she puts her own personality in her songs and the rest is Margie all the way.
Margie always wanted to sing and record. She performs regularly throughout North Alabama and Southern Tennessee singing at festivals, fairs, outdoor concerts.
Her first big concert was a few years back at Huntsville's Von Braun Civic Center Concert Hall before a crowd of 1,500 people. Margie performed her specialty - singing in the style of Miss Patsy Cline. The crowd loved her ten song performance, and rewarded her with two standing ovations.
Margie has performed in many different venues. She was asked to perform at the State of Alabama's Governors Mansion this past year by Governor and Mrs. Bob Riley. She also performed at the 2003 Armed Forces Celebration Dinner before a crowd of 2,000 people at the Von Braun Civic Center singing with a big band performing great old standards.
She performs regular dates at local establishments in the Huntsville area with her keyboard accompanist - but also works with her band, all seasoned veterans from Nashville.
Margie's favorite place to perform is Nursing Homes and Retirement Homes. The elderly really love her songs - and she really loves performing for them. A few years back she performed over 45 volunteer shows in one year.
Margie has performed at the Opryland Hotel Ballroom before a room full of soldiers at a conference. She has also performed at the Heart Association's Dances/Balls and numerous outdoor Concerts in the Parks/and around the Lakes, etc..
One of her favorite venues by far has been to perform at the Whistle Stop Festival in Huntsville Alabama. She was able to open for some well know country stars - and get a taste of what it's like to perform from a big outdoor stage. Meeting Craig Morgan and Blake Shelton backstage made the performance even more memorable.
Margie Cumbie is married, and the mother of three grown sons. * Margie's CD's can be purchased at CDBaby.com 

Show Dates: September 17, 2004
Opening for and performing with Mr. Razzy Bailey at the Lincoln County Fair in Fayetteville Tennessee.
