Peterson first recorded Behold The Lamb of God in 2004, working with tourmates and musical collaborators Andy Gullahorn, Andrew Osenga, Jill Phillips, Gabe Scott, and Ben Shive, among others. This year, these old friends (along with a lot of new ones) teamed back up to create the 20^th Anniversary album, giving a fresh take on its twelve songs, including fan favorites such as “Labor of Love,” “Matthew’s Begats,” and “Deliver Us”. The result is a special opportunity for listeners to hear a record that sounds both familiar and fresh—voices grateful to still be singing the most beautiful story of all time. The album pre-sale will offer exclusive album and merchandise bundles, available at The Rabbit Room.

“That recording session was one of the best things in my music life,” Peterson says. “How often do you get to go into the studio with a group of musicians who have been touring the same songs, playing the record live for 20 years? I’ve never really heard of that happening. And we decided to record it together in the studio all at once, which also doesn’t typically happen these days. I walked into the room with around 20 musicians and old friends, and we sang through all of the songs in two days. To get all of the energy of the players together in one place—and more than that, we’re friends—it’s all people you have years and years of history with….I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Peterson has another release this October, his nonfiction book Adorning the Dark: Thoughts on Community, Calling, and the Mystery of Making. Through personal stories about his experiences in the creative world, Peterson shares encouragement for those pursuing a calling to proclaim the Gospel through their gifts. The book comes out October 15 and is available for pre-order now.

ABOUT JESS RAY: 

Jess Ray is a singer/songwriter and producer from North Carolina, the land of ocean, woods, rolling hills, and mountains. Jess’ music, much like herself, occupies two worlds effortlessly. Intensely spiritual yet deeply real, her songs soar with joy and hope without ignoring the reality of our human struggle. In 2018, Jess headed back to the studio to record her sophomore album, PARALLELS + MERIDIANS. While there are some familiar elements present, this new project feels like new territory for the artist, whose writing has ventured much further into the space between people. In her signature alto, Jess sings of her own heartbreak and joy with an authenticity that only comes from real life. Jessraymusic.com
