Nashville, Tenn. (March 2, 2015) ----- Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning pop/rock group, Building 429, gears up for another record-breaking year, as the band is continuing to build momentum with its upcoming major tours and release of a new project in 2015. The group's strong stage performances, which consistently bring audiences to their feet, will be spotlighted on the 2015 Winter Jam Tour Spectacular that will play 47-cities through March and the farewell Women of Faith Loved 2015 Tour for 18 dates throughout the year that will reach an estimated 200,000 women. At the same time, Building 429 is writing for its seventh record that will release in the fall and will head into the recording studio this spring to start work on the new album.

"2015 will be an incredible season as Women of Faith celebrates 20 years of ministry to women throughout North America," says Leslie Reed, Vice President of Brand Communications. "We are delighted to have Building 429 with us on the farewell tour as we crisscross the country and share the message, 'You are Loved.' The band's energy and connection with the audience will be so impactful and fun. We're so glad they're going to be joining us for this final chapter."

All of this comes on the heels of Building 429 achieving new goals, accolades and success in 2014. The group headlined the We Won't Be Shaken Tour that visited over 65 cities, had multiple sold-out shows, and spotlighted the band's biggest production stage with an elevating platform. Building 429 also performed at 26 festivals last summer that included Alive Festival, JFest and Disney's Night of Joy. The group was recognized by its peers with multiple award nominations from the Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards and the K-LOVE Fan Awards. These accolades stemmed from the success of the sixth album, We Won't Be Shaken, which featured the title track as the first single and remained a multi-week No. 1 hit on Billboard's Hot AC/CHR and AC Indicator Charts, while the second single, "Press On," reached No. 3 on the Billboard Christian Singles Chart.
