MARK209 Releases New Album "Grassroots III"

mark209

Nashville based music artist MARK209 announces the release of their latest album entitled Grassroots III. Grassroots III is the third in an anthology of four albums featuring the quartet's signature take on well known hymns and classic gospel songs and has a street date of today.

"We always enjoy singing the classics and seeing the excitement it brings at a concert. It's one of the most popular sections of our program," says Lead Singer Jym Howe. "It's inevitable that music is going to progress, but there's just something special about the great hymns."

The tracklist for Grassroots III will include the classics "Just A Little Talk With Jesus," "I Can Call Jesus Anytime," "What A Friend We Have In Jesus," and "I'll Fly Away," along with 8 other favorites.The four disc anthology is a special release in addition to the regular albums MARK209 releases which contain their original music.

"For us," says Howe, "the Grassroots project is MARK209 holding on to the roots of Southern Gospel." 

MARK209 has garnered the interest of an industry. Tagged the "best group you probably have never heard" by industry leaders, MARK209 has certainly made a mark for themselves. The 2011 National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY was no exception as they revealed their new name; which is a reference to Mile Marker 209 in Nashville, TN (the location of Music Row ... and considered the Heart of Nashville).

Audiences respond immediately to the four-part harmony that they are accustomed to in Southern Gospel. However, MARK209's sound has more of a country grace and their lyrics reflect the life that many live, which allows them to effectively communicate to their audience. Evident in their recordings is the fact that they utilize some of Nashville's top writers and musicians.

MARK209: Nathaniel Justice, Jym Howe, Jimmy Reno, Ray Woconish -- four superbly distinctive and recognizable voices blended together to bring fun, encouragement, inspiration, and an interactive worship experience to all ages.
