JOHN MARK MCMILLAN

John Mark McMillan is something of an anomaly: an artist and Platinum-selling songwriter bending genres and defying categorization by carving out his own unique and independent path. With an ear for melody and a poet’s eye for metaphor, no topic has been off-limits. While each of his albums over the past decade have continued to explore new territory, it’s McMillan’s ability to give lyric and language to the human experience that many consider his greatest gift.

CITIZENS

The Seattle-based band Citizens has been breaking molds since their shotgun birth in 2011. Forming just months prior to their debut EP, "Already Not/Yet", Citizens found quick endearment in the hearts and ears of people worldwide with their energetic alternative hymn arrangements. As their friendship grew, so did their storytelling. Original songs sung out of overflowing wells of joy and dark depths of pain began to surface and the full force of Citizens began to really take shape. Citizens has never just been any one thing. Over the years they have received a welcomed embrace in a variety of genres primarily attributed to their commitment to honesty. While every song has not always found itself in the spaces of corporate church singing, Citizens has stayed true to telling the stories of God’s grace in their life. It’s always been about writing for more then just the Christian’s but for the world to hear and know that they are loved no matter what.
