Colorado Springs, Colo. (January 19, 2012) - - Integrity Music announces the signing of independent singer/songwriter Sarah MacIntosh and the March 6th global release of her 11-track album Current.
Known for her work with progressive rock band Chasing Furies, Sarah also has three solo projects to her credit including the critically acclaimed The Waiters, The Watchers, The Listeners, The Keepers & Me. And in addition to touring and collaborating with artists such David Crowder, Tim Hughes, Matt Redman, Vicky Beeching and Burlap to Cashmere, Sarah speaks and leads worship at churches around the country.
"Beyond Sarah's unique voice and obvious talent as a songwriter, she has an intense desire to help others discover God through worship," says Integrity A&R Director, Chico Gonzalez. "We're excited to work with her and honored that she is entrusting her songs to Integrity."
Of joining the Integrity roster, Sarah says: "Integrity has their eyes set forward in the same direction as mine. They realize that songs have the ability to minister, motivate, teach, comfort and strengthen the listener… I'm thrilled to be walking alongside them as we carry these songs to those who need them."
Until recently, Sarah's family made their home in San Diego, California, where Sarah led worship for her father-in-law's church, Horizon Christian Fellowship. The Texas native is now waking up in cities around the country for speaking/singing engagements as her family relocates temporarily, working with churches to impact local communities. So rather than simply making a cameo in the lives of the people they're ministering to, they are getting to know the Body of Christ on a more personal level. While their nomadic, life-out-of-a-suitcase existence isn't for everyone, Sarah and her family love every minute of it.
It was in California at Horizon that Sarah began sharing the songs that would become Current. Produced by her husband, Jonny MacIntosh, and J.T. Daly of Nashville's famed Indie rock outfit Paper Route, Current is filled with songs of unabashed praise such as "We Should Run," "Joy Comes In" and "Take It All." But like David so freely did in Psalms when life wasn't quite as upbeat and hopeful, Sarah also wasn't afraid to dig into life's darker seasons of lament with songs like "Hope," "The Damaged" and "Hiding Place."
"These songs really go across the board-in one, you can tell it was written from the pit where you couldn't possibly get any lower, while another is at the spiritual mountaintop," Sarah explains. "Looking at my own life, I have seen those weeping moments we're reminded about in Psalm 30:5, and then I've seen those joy moments. They are a promise, and that's why these songs reflect both experiences." Current will be available on Integrity beginning March 6. Within the U.S., it will be available to Christian retail stores through Provident Music Distribution and to mainstream retailers through Sony Music Distribution. It will also be available through all major digital service providers including Amazon and iTunes. Publicity services for Current will be provided by Nashville, Tennessee-based Merge PR.
