Jim Sonefeld, Drummer for Hootie & Blowfish, Releases Christian Album "Love"
Drummer for Hootie & the Blowfish, Jim Sonefeld is releasing his third Christian project, Love, August 14th. The five song EP features new tunes that were written by Sonefeld and was produced by Matt Houston, Sanchez Fair, Les Hall, Stan Lynch and Billy Chapin.
Love is the follow-up project to the previous releases in the trilogy series, Foundin 2012 and In in 2014, which showcases a more confident artist, who has become more comfortable with his music ministry and has developed his own unique sound. The new record spotlights messages of hope, redemption and grace that Sonefeld discovered after overcoming his substance abuses. Love will be available at all online music outlets, with physical copies available at Sonefeld's solo performances and at Hootie & the Blowfish live dates.
"To continue making Christian music is very important to me," says Sonefeld, "and releasing my latest project, Love, is an extension of the gratitude I have for God. He took this sinful, addicted, unsure songwriter and lifted me from a pit of desperation to the high place of serving Him. I'm confident God will keep inspiring my songwriting and put me on a path where he can best use me. I don't know where that path will lead, but I fully trust in Him and will faithfully follow."
Sonefeld views Love as a celebration of faith with an urgent reminder of making the relationship with God a daily surrender. The EP launches with the radio friendly mid-tempo song, "Not Waiting on Sunday," that resonates with Sonefeld's surrender message, while "The Cross Before the Crown" features a violin opening, with lyrics that remind us to submit to the Cross and give up our false idols. "Are We Prepared To Fly?" (following Christ's direction) segues into the beautiful ballad, "The Jesus I Know" (living a loving life), and concludes with "God is Here." This song reminds Christians that God is all around us and part of our daily lives, not just inside of a church building.
Sonefeld puts his faith into action with two ministries. The first is being actively involved with Celebrate Recovery® Ministry, helping others in recovery by sharing his testimony and music to churches that offer the Celebrate Recovery® program. The second is with the Hootie & the Blowfish event, Homegrown Roundup, which provides school supplies, backpacks, shoes, uniforms, dental and eye exams, and haircuts to children in need. The 9th annual Homegrown Roundup will take place in Charleston, SC on August 8th from Noon - 4:00 pm EDT at Burke High School Auditorium.For continued updates on Sonefeld's music, tour dates, and charity endeavours please visit online,www.jimsonefeld.com, www.facebook.com/jimsonefeld.
