Doxologist ContentRain City Hymnal CD Release Show!
After months of production and a few stalled attempts at an actual release, we are pleased to announce that we are finally going to have a CD release show for our Mars Hill Music Rain City Hymnal on March 7 at 7:30 pm at the Downtown campus. This is a free event so there is no cover charge at the door. Ex Nihilo, E-Pop and The Northern Conspiracy will be rocking the Mic.
This project has been by far the most ambitious of all the other MH recordings. It features re-worked arrangements of old hymns as interpreted by BCG, Ex-Nihilo, The Northern Conspiracy, E-Pop and vintage era Team Strike Force. We did most of the tracking at the old Ironwood studios (now known as Avast! II) with the help of our own Brian Eichelberger and Joel Brown both of whom are talented and nimble control-booth-knob-turners for Christ. After JB and Eichelpop did their audio geek magic, the recording was sent off to Jacquire King (Modest Mouse, No Doubt, Tom Waits, Kings of Leon, Be Your Own Pet, Mute Math, Switchfoot) to be mixed and the result is a fantastic sounding recording.
Please come join us and let the Flock be Rocked!
Will the CD be available off Itunes, for those of us on the complete opposite side of the country?
Tim,
We’re working on figuring out our lines of distro and will hopefully have an answer to that soon.

Sounds exciting. Cover art looks cool, too.
please pray for us as we work on distribution options… Thanks Bobby, I am pretty happy with how the art came out. The guy who did it has won multiple grammies for record designs. More info will follow…

I’m really looking forward to this. I, too, am on the other side of the country, but I’m a big fan of the worship bands of Mars Hill.

I second that.

My husband and I purchased a copy of the Rain City CD when we made a visit to Seattle and Mars Hill last month. I absolutely love the whole album! It’s caused me to embrace hymnal music in a whole new way! I noticed it said volume 1 on the cover, so I hope that volume 2 will follow quickly and be made available to someone like me who is a few states away!
