Featured Artists
MATT MAHER | NOVEMBER 14 & 15
Since his major-label debut in 2008, Matt Maher has become a staple in the artistic and songwriting community. A nine-time-GRAMMY® nominee and three-time-GMA Dove Award® winner, he has garnered multiple radio successes, writing and recording songs such as his Top 5 CCLI song “Lord, I Need You” and the chart-topping radio singles “Because He Lives (Amen)” and “Alive & Breathing.” Along with other hits such as “Hold Us Together,” “Christ Is Risen,” “All The People Said Amen,” and “Your Grace Is Enough,” Maher has written or co-written six No. 1 radio singles.
Penning numerous songs recorded by Crowder, Hillsong, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, We Are Messengers, Chris Renzema, Mack Brock, Brandon Lake and Passion, he’s had multiple titles on the CCLI chart’s Top 500 list. With career album sales of more than 600,000 units to date, Maher was awarded RIAA Platinum® certification for “Lord, I Need You” and RIAA Gold® certification for “Hold Us Together,” “All The People Said Amen,” and “Because He Lives (Amen)”. He’s released ten studio albums, including his 2017 GRAMMY-nominated album Echoes, and his first Christmas album and children’s book, both titled The Advent of Christmas.
Maher, an official Steinway Artist, has been headlining his own tours and performing at major Catholic and Evangelical events since 2004, including multiple World Youth Day festivals, most recently in Rio De Janeiro presided by Pope Francis. He has also participated in the industry’s biggest tours and festivals, such as Worship Night In America with Chris Tomlin, Compassion Live’s The Road Show and Tobymac’s Hits Deep. Maher has also toured with MercyMe, Chris Tomlin, and Casting Crowns.
PATRICK MAYBERRY | ALL DATES
“Anyone who has put their faith in Jesus is a son or daughter of the God of the Universe, who intimately knows them and cares about every little detail of their lives. Your biggest plans and wildest dreams for your life? God’s are likely wilder, bigger and crazier,” says Patrick Mayberry. “Following God can be scary, but I promise, following Him is always going to be deeper and richer and better.”
Singer, songwriter and worship leader Patrick Mayberry is passionate about seeing people connect with the heart of God through music and corporate worship. Having released three EPs, including Holy Spirit Come that sparked the multi-format Billboard radio hit and title track, “Holy Spirit Come,” along with his debut single, “Breakthrough Miracle Power,” Mayberry is poised to release his first full-length album, Wild Faith via Centricity Music. An invitation to bravely explore the great unknown, the LP features the Air1-premiered “Easy To Praise,” foot-stomping “Lead On Good Shepherd,” and the title track featuring Kalley Heiligenthal. The recording sets a large table for everyone with untamed melodies and astute lyrics, all artfully crafted and intentionally threaded together to take listeners on a life-changing expedition.
Touring with Crowder, Cory Asbury, We The Kingdom and more, Mayberry engages audiences with his sense of humor, charismatic stage presence and thoughtful brand of poetic praise. As a songwriter, he has penned tracks recorded by Passion, Chris Renzema, North Point Worship, David Leonard and Mack Brock, among others. Mayberry, his wife Jenny, and their four children are based in Franklin, TN.
NATALIE LAYNE | NOVEMBER 14 & 15
Singer, songwriter and producer Natalie Layne desires to radiate joy through her original music. With a master’s in commercial piano, Layne won Belmont’s Christian Showcase at her alma mater in 2019, leading her to sign an exclusive recording and publishing contract with Centricity Music. Prior to landing a record deal, Layne charted a successful path as an independent artist for six years during which she cultivated an impressive social following simply by inviting listeners into her songwriting process online. Moreover, she studied under GRAMMY® award-winning songwriter and producer Bernie Herms (Natalie Grant, Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand) through an apprenticeship that allowed her to shadow him for a semester. She’s sung background vocals for Natalie Grant on the Dove Awards stage and also lent BGVs to labelmate Jason Gray’s upcoming album. Additionally, she’s opened shows for Jeremy Camp, Chris Tomlin and We The Kingdom, among others, as well as headlined full band sets at Bonnaroo — twice. Leading worship since she was 12 under the mentorship of respected worship pastors such as Cory Asbury, Jon Egan and Jared Anderson, the Colorado Springs native now resides in Nashville where she continues to lead worship at her local church. Her introductory EP, Amen, builds on her growing momentum, serving up six original songs — all co-penned by Layne.
MICAH TYLER | NOVEMBER 22, 23 & 24
Songwriter and Fair Trade Services recording artist Micah Tyler writes, performs, and lives out “battle-tested” music that gives glory to his God. He is the recipient of multiple GMA Dove Awards and K-LOVE Awards nominations and has written four BMI Top 25 Christian Songs.
His journey has taken him from small-town youth pastor to delivery truck driver, to touring alongside big-name artists such as MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, and Phil Wickham. Tyler is best known for numerous hit songs such as “Never Been a Moment,” "I See Grace," “Even Then,” and “Walking Free,” & “I See Grace.” Along with the most recent EP, “People Like Us,” on, he released his first book earlier this in 2023, Walking Free: Taking Small Steps to a Big God (K-LOVE Books). Full of encouragement partnered with daily devotionals, it is Tyler's hope that Walking Free will be a guide to help its readers set out on a path to a free and meaningful life.
EMERSON DAY | NOVEMBER 22, 23 & 24
For soulful singer-songwriter Emerson Day, storytelling came naturally from a young age. Writing songs as early as a teenager, she was influenced by the sounds of a southern rock guitar and an old church piano. Growing up on her family's farm in Southern Maryland, she would sit outside playing guitar and singing for hours. God put a song in her heart long before she ever realized it.
Driven by career and athletic aspirations, Day graduated from university as a decorated Lacrosse player with her degree in Homeland Security. The same competitive nature which drew her to sports and a career in federal law enforcement, quickly engaged when she felt God calling her to pursue music. In a true leap of faith, Day began pursuing music, a complete 180 from her original plan. Thursday through Saturday she began playing shows in local bars and venues in her hometown. But it wasn't until she started leading worship at a small church in North Carolina that God showed her the path he truly had for her. One of the first Sundays she led worship, someone gave their life to Christ, right in front of her at the altar. This moment solidified Day’s calling and passion for Christian music. She never looked back.
“My hope is through this music, lyrics, the scripture, and stories in there, people hear something that reveals Him, His character and His love. I pray God will use my music in a way that would draw people closer to Him. I decided when I went into this I was going to put it in His hands from day one. It’s a ministry and it’s His.”
During the next year, doors continued to open, and Emerson signed her first record deal in 2022 with Fair Trade Services. She’s been writing and recording music, showcasing her testimony through every strong, raspy note and powerful lyric. Her debut to Christian music is on Micah Tyler’s single “People Like Us (feat. Emerson Day)” in January 2024. This song beautifully tells the story of God’s love for an ordinary people; ‘people like you and people like me.’ It was a perfect fit for her mission of sharing the power of God’s redemption. She is working on more music set to be released in 2024.
