Nothing warms the heart like seeing a band return from a prolonged hiatus with new music. We last heard from Smalltown Poets when they released It's Later Than It's Ever Been through BEC Recordings in 2004. Now, the band's original lineup is back and almost ready to present their first seasonal offering, Smalltown Poets Christmas, reported for a November 1st release. For the latest on the project, visit Check out the band's announcement below...

A new Smalltown Poets Album is on its way!

Over a year in the making, Smalltown Poets Christmas will be released this November. Smalltown Poets burst onto the Christian music scene with their Grammy-nominated self-titled debut on Ardent/Forefront (EMI) in 1997 and released two more albums with the Memphis based label. Three number one singles and a total of ten top ten radio hits helped garner two Best Rock Gospel Grammy nominations, seven Dove Award nominations (including best new artist) and a Billboard Music video award for the band. Their song "Anything Genuine" was featured on the platinum selling WOW 1999 compilation. In 2004 the band released It's Later Than It's Ever Been on BEC (EMI). The band will be announcing dates for a 2011 Christmas tour very soon.
