Yesterday, big news about StowTown Worship Live From Praisefest Branson, Volume 1 was shared. Eleven hymns and familiar congregational songs “showcasing some of Christian music’s most esteemed worship leaders” will be featured on the high-anticipated project, according to an official press release from Turning Point Media Relations.

Recorded live at Branson, Missouri’s Praisefest famed musicians TaRanda Greene, Alvin Slaughter, Travis Cottrell, and pastor Charles Billingsley came together to lead the worship set.

Beloved songs “There Is Power In The Blood, “Because He Lives,” “Blessed Assurance,” and “Holy Is The Lord,” are all apart of the new album releasing on January 17.
 
TaRanda Greene: “We hail from multiple genres and backgrounds and have all had incredible journeys as artists, but what a gift that Jesus brought us together for this. A Kingdom picture is painted in this project. The things that label us like age, race and background—they don’t have a place here. Together, we are singing these gorgeous songs that celebrate Jesus.”
 
TaRanda adds, “There were some beautiful, atmosphere-changing moments in the presence of God and the Holy Spirit blessed us so much. One of those moments for me is ‘Blessed Assurance.’ When Alvin Slaughter, who is not only extraordinarily gifted as a musician but also an articulate communicator, begins leading this song, the room shifts. You can feel it when you listen to the recording, and that’s pretty special.”
 
StowTown Records and Worship President Landon Beene: “Giving new life to these songs brings generations together and we hope this collection will be a great tool for churches as well. With print music and soundtracks available for each song via PraiseCharts and MultiTracks, our goal is to create and develop resources for churches that have a broad generational reach. We want to include the whole family of God, embracing cultural and demographic differences in an effort to glorify Him and create an atmosphere of the Holy Spirit.”
