News on new and upcoming CD's!
[posted Sun. June 17th, 2007]
Crossfire, one of the most requested groups to appear at Holy Grounds coffee house has finished their newest CD, "Shine Through the Brokenness", which saw it's official release at Samantha's Li'l Bit of Heaven on June 16th.
If it's on par with Crossfire's previous releases (and I'm sure it is), it will be a must-own album.
In other good news, Simple Praise has a new CD in the works, which is as yet unnamed, and the hope is it will complete by the end of the year.
