Join us on October 20th as we welcome Compassion Live with Josh Wilson, For All Seasons, Peabod, and Leanna Crawford. You can find tickets here.
ABOUT JOSH WILSON
Texas-native Josh Wilson started taking piano lessons in fourth grade, learned guitar and drums in sixth and seventh grade, and fell in love with songwriting in college at Nashville’s Belmont University. A self-described introvert with an aversion to the spotlight, Wilson never dreamed he’d be the one behind the mic, but God had other plans. When he signed his first record deal in 2006, Wilson has become a staple at radio, amassing six Top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart, including “That Was Then, This Is Now,” “Savior, Please,” “I Refuse,” “Fall Apart,” “Carry Me” and “Before The Morning,” which landed the No. 4 spot on Billboard’s 2012 Year-End Christian Songs chart. He’s toured with some of the genre’s biggest acts, including Third Day, Steven Curtis Chapman, Matthew West and Casting Crowns; and even veteran artists who applaud Wilson’s carefully honed musicianship have admired his impressive live show. He’s been known to have as many as 20 instruments on-stage at any given time (and knows how to play all of them). Wilson resides in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife of eight years, Becca and their 2-year old son Asher. For more information about Josh Wilson, please visit joshwilsonmusic.com.
ABOUT FOR ALL SEASONS
Hailing from Southern California, this band started playing together at Biola University, simply out of their shared passion for music. After leading worship at Hume Lake Christian camps for numerous summers, the group began creating and recording their own music. Their audience grew, and For All Seasons signed record and publishing deals in 2017. Comprised of Emily Hamilton (lead vocals, guitars, keys), Johnn Hamilton (drums), and Jeff Luckey (guitars, keys, vocals) the group radiates a California-vibe, bringing a unique sound and dynamic to the Christian music scene. Sonically, their music presents cool modern-pop and rock tones. For 2019, they’re creating a year’s worth of content with their More Than Music project, choosing monthly themes and crafting songs, music videos, and podcast episodes reflecting those topics.
