The band’s version of “O Come All Ye Faithful” was arranged by Rush of Fools and produced by Jason Ingram and Rusty Varenkamp. The single also hit the R&R Christian AC Monitored chart this week with a Debut at #20.
New artist, Rush of Fools has already been named the second best-selling new artist of 2007. The Alabama-based band went from winning a national talent contest to landing a record deal – emerging almost overnight. The 700 Club featured the band on December 3, recounting the band’s successful climb and pointing out how Rush of Fools has made an “unprecedented mark on Christian music history this year.”
Additionally, Rush Of Fools has been chosen as the featured artist on the upcoming Newsboys “Go” Tour that will visit 30-40 cities nationwide in the Spring of 2008.
In addition to the group’s radio and touring news, Rush Of Fools recently formed ministry partnerships with Godtube.com as well as “Freedom Begins Here,” which draws attention to the epidemic issue of pornography and sex addiction within and outside the church. Hosted by Dr. Gary Smalley and Pastor Ted Cunningham, the powerful series of DVD-driven “Toolkits” will release in 2008 and is designed specifically to empower churches and individuals to face the problem of sexual addiction head on.
The band’s chart topping, smash debut radio single “Undo” is also continuing to receive recognition and chart-topping attention. The premiere single garnered the BDS Spin Award in October for reaching 50,000 spins, according to R&R magazine. In addition, “Undo” is also the most played new single of 2007 on the R&R Christian AC charts and continues to gain attention worldwide positioning the band as history makers, in that no other debut artist on a new label has ever achieved such immediate success.
Rush Of Fools consists of Wes Willis (lead vocals, electric guitar), Kevin Huguley (lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitar), Jacob Chesnut (bass, vocals), Jamie Sharpe (drums, vocals) and JD Frazier (electric guitar, keys, vocals).
