We're Making A Worship Album

At the end of October of 2013, Stephen Winn and I (Kevin Robison) were hanging out and God laid a vision on our hearts. We had been talking for months about starting some type of a band, as we are both passionate about creating music and have been in bands together in the past. The Lord challenged us to make music for Him and His kingdom. That night we realized that the Lord has provided us with incredible friends and musicians in our local church band at Foothills in Toccoa, GA. So we reached out to our friends and began the whole process.

The band consists of 7 people:

Kevin Robison - Electric Guitar and Vocals
Megan Boylen - Vocals
Jeremy Blackmon - Electric Guitar and Vocals
Tanner Chitwood - Acoustic Guitar and Rap Vocals
Christa Blackaby - Keys
Stephen Winn - Bass
Zach Lamneck - Drums 


We began meeting on Thursday nights at the end of October. Our intention from the very beginning was to write an entire worship album. We wanted to write songs that local churches could use for worship. We wanted our songs to influence and inspire those outside of the church as well. God has gifted each of us and we know He has called us to put these gifts to use. With that said, every one of our songs is inspired directly by scripture. They are intended for God and His glory.

Each time we met, the Lord had given one of us a really cool song idea to bring to the table. Our chemistry as a band has been incredible, as all of those ideas were built upon easily and quickly. So, the next order of business was to come up with a "name." We decided on the name Wolverton. "Is that a pack of wolves?" you might ask. No it's just Kevin's mother's maiden name. The thinking behind the name is that Kevin's grandparents and parents poured a legacy of following God into him, and now because of that he is a follower of Christ. So as a band, we want to be a generation that pours into the next.


The ten songs that will be on our album have a wide variety of musical influences. We are SO excited to share it with everyone. We will be headed to Tennessee to record our album in the Nashville area next Monday, April 14th. We are hoping to get the entire project recorded while we are there. God has provided all of the funds we need to be able to make this dream a reality. Our goal is not to be some famous band, or to travel the world playing music. We just want to glorify God with what He's given to us, and use these tools to enrich our local church.

So now what we are asking of you is this: Please join us in praying that God would use these songs to touch the hearts and lives of many people. Whether in Toccoa at our church, or anywhere else, that the love of Christ would speak through this album. We also need prayer for the process of recording next week. That everything would go smoothly and we would finish in time. Pray for our producer as he mixes and masters the album; that the Lord would use his gifts as well.

We are so excited!!! We will keep you posted on everything next week. Stay up to date on our Facebook page. We will be posting pictures and maybe even videos from the studio. We will also post a blog from each band member from time to time. And when the album is released, we will post devotional blogs that coincide with each song! You can expect and album release sometime this summer!

In Christ,
Wolverton
