Success at Radio, Great Reviews & Big Summer Appearances Make for an Exhilarating Time

PEARL, Miss. – Zion Music Group recording artist Embrace is currently gearing up for an exciting summer! The group is eagerly anticipating their appearance at the 6th Annual Gospel Music Fan Festival next Saturday evening, July 30, 2005. This will be the group’s first appearance at the Fan Festival.

"Embrace is honored to be a part of the ‘Fan Festival’ this year. I think the name is perfect - those who love Jesus getting together to worship Him with brothers and sisters in Christ. We can't wait!" responded Dane Truhett of Embrace.

In addition to the 6th Annual Gospel Music Fan Festival, Embrace is excited to be a part of the National Quartet Convention Artist Spotlight Showcase in Louisville, Kentucky on Monday, September 12, 2005. This will also be the group’s first appearance on the Artist Spotlight Showcase.

“We are very excited and honored by this invitation,” remarked Melinda Hand of Embrace.

The group also recently learned their latest single, “The Valley”, has found a home in the Top 10 of the SouthernGospelNews.com Top 40 Weekly Chart. The song is currently sitting at #7 for this week’s chart.

"God often makes us live out the lyrics to a song before He allows us to sing it,
said Marci Ferguson of Embrace. “This has certainly been the case with our current single, ‘The Valley.’ The battle began even as we tried to record this song in the studio. We knew then that God was going to use it in a tremendous way. It has been a continual reminder to us that we can't climb the next mountain in our lives without going through the valley first."

Dane Truhett also said, "I am so thankful for all the Lord is doing with ‘The Valley.’ The message is one of hope, restoration and healing. Praise the Lord for His goodness!"

"The Valley” has also been added in regular rotation on two of Southern Gospel’s most popular internet radio stations, SGLive365.com and SouthernSpinRadio.com.

Embrace recently released their sophomore Zion Music Group album, Walk His Way, and the reviews have already been pouring:

“‘Walk His Way’ was actually written on the back of our church bulletin during a baccalaureate service for high school seniors a few years ago. The thought was impressed upon me of what would be the most valuable tidbit of advice to give anyone to be successful in this life....walk His way. I am honored that Embrace has chosen to take the message of this song forward. I have the privilege of calling them friends, and this song is almost self-defining for them, for they choose on a daily basis to Walk His Way.” - Patti Hawkins

“Poet Voices has had the wonderful blessing of working with Embrace. We loved their singing, and their warm personalities were refreshing. We liked them so much that we have invited them to be a part of some of our Hearts-In-Harmony events. We are looking forward to hearing more great things from this talented and anointed group.” – Phil Cross

“I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with these folks in the studio but absolutely fell in love with them when I traveled to Jackson, Mississippi to attend their homecoming and project debut celebration at Crossgates Baptist Church. These people have a tremendous heart for ministry, and they are eager to reach the lost. They are believable, effective communicators with broad audience appeal. I was impressed at the number of youth in the audience at their homecoming." – Kevin McManus (of Zion Music Group)

“I have always believed in Embrace. They have everything you look for in a great trio: smooth harmonies, great delivery, and they present the gospel in a classy and sincere way. There are very few groups that can bring each of these qualities to the table. I was blessed to have them on my television program and am looking forward to Embrace being a part of the Hearts-In-Harmony Tour with Poet Voices in 2005 and 2006.“ - Greg Crowe (of Poet Voices)

"I have been impressed by their heart for ministry. All three are beautiful individuals, and each family is involved in the ministry as well. I pray that God continues to bless the music ministry of Embrace. I love them all!" - Sandi Duncan-Clark
