Peterson’s Label Debut To Release October 21, 2008

Centricity Music is happy to announce the signing of one of Christian music’s most respected singer/songwriters, Andrew Peterson. Peterson will release his label debut, The Resurrection Letters, Vol II on October 21, 2008.

"When we discovered that Andrew was interested in partnering with a label again we were incredibly excited," says Steve Ford, Centricity’s Vice President, Marketing. "Bringing to Centricity’s existing roster an artist with Andrew’s artistic vision and commercial appeal will be a great addition. He feels like family, he is like-minded in his desire to make the best art possible while impacting culture for Christ."

"The people at Centricity have surprised me at every turn with their genuineness, their hard work and their commitment to doing things not the easy way or the old way but the best way. I’m really excited about this partnership," says Peterson.

The Resurrection Letters, Vol II was produced by Ben Shive and Andy Gullahorn and will once again showcase Peterson’s strong vocals and songwriting skills. "Whenever it's time to put a new album together, I look for a common strand that connects all the songs. This time around, it was clear to me that the songs are mostly about resurrection, about the way God makes all things new," explains Peterson.

Peterson’s own credits include the Top 10 radio hit "Nothing to Say" and a Dove Award nomination for his song "Family Man." His previous releases Carried Along, Clear to Venus, Love and Thunder, Behold The Lamb of God and The Far Country have led to many gracious words and accolades from fellow artists, writers and peers:

"Depth, clarity, intelligence, craft, emotion, honesty, humor, spirit, truth, life, hope, peace - that's Andrew Peterson's music. If you haven't heard it you're missing out on one of the best artists out there." (Ron Block of Alison Krauss and Union Station)

"I can easily say that Andrew is one of my favorite artists of all time. He's toured with us for years and aside from being a great friend of the band, we all think he's just a phenomenal artist. Few songwriters can literally bring me to tears, but Andrew's songs often do, even the ones that aren't necessarily sad. I especially love some of his most recent work. The Far Country has become one of my desert island CDs...it's definitely in my top 5. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does next!" (Cliff Young, Caedmon’s Call)

"Andrew Peterson packs a story in every song, that, no matter how unrelated it may be to my day to day, is a story I find myself in." (Donald Miller)

"Andrew is a profound writer and a gift to Christian music. It’s really encouraging to me to see an artist stretch the boundaries and write/sing what God puts in their heart rather than trying to fit the mold. God never called us to fit the mold, but to be who He made us to be and Andrew is certainly that." (Ed Cash)
