Sunday Edition Sends Out New Single & Working on New Album


MURFREESBORO, Tenn. ? Sunday Edition, one of Nashville?s favorite groups, was currently in the studio recording vocals for their new single, ?He Keeps Lifting,? the follow-up to the group?s first ever charting song, ?This Well.? The new single will feature special guest Johnny Minick, who also wrote the song.

The single will be included on a new six song EP (extended play single) that the group is currently recording. Entitled Intermission, the new EP will feature songs written by group members Amy Marie Unthank & Chris Unthank, as well as concert favorites from the group. Intermission will be produced by Donna Beauvais and Aaron Minick, and it has a tentative release date for the late winter quarter.

?We are releasing this EP as a way of giving our fans a little bonus until we can get in and make a full length recording,? said Deon Unthank of Sunday Edition. ?This is a new concept in the Southern Gospel market, and we?re excited to have something new for those who buy our products.?

?He Keeps Lifting? will be sent out to radio stations all across the country later this month and will be promoted to radio by the Rick Hendrix Company and DJ Man Promotions, the same two companies who promoted the group?s last single, ?This Well.?

?This Well? became the group?s first ever charting single, coming in at #64 for two consecutive months on the Singing News Top 80 (July and August issues). The song had the distinction of the being the highest debut of any new artist in July. ?This Well? also found a home on the American Christian Music Journal?s Top Southern Gospel Singles & Tracks chart at #26 and the SouthernGospelNews.com Top 40 Weekly Chart at position #24.

?We were very excited with how well ?This Well? did,? remarked Deon Unthank. ?We realized that the song may not have appealed to everyone, so we couldn?t have been happier with the outcome.?

?This Well? was the first single off of the album Dry Dusty Day?which was produced by Dale Duhl and Jimmy Tarbutton of Three Hills Music Group. The song was penned by group member Amy Marie Unthank, as well as co-written by acclaimed songwriter Rebecca J. Peck ? the same writing combo that wrote the #1 song of 2004 ?Even In the Valley? (recorded by the Whisnants).

MP3 downloads of ?He Keeps Lifting? and ?This Well? for radio stations are available upon request.

In addition to the news of a new EP and single, Sunday Edition has performed many high-profile dates this year. The group kicked things off this summer with a performance at the Steve Hurst School of Music, a music school which all three members are former students. At the end of July, Sunday Edition performed at the Gospel Music Fan Festival in Smyrna, TN. Then, the group performed on Saturday evening of the SGM FanFair. Next week, Sunday Edition will be making their first appearance on the Artist Spotlight Showcase at the National Quartet Convention on Monday, September 12, 2005 in the South Wing Conference Center at the Kentucky Fair & Expo Center.

Sunday Edition is currently partnering with SouthernGospelNews.com, Journey Records & the Mid-South Gospel Music Association for a benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina victims later this fall. Details about the concert will be forthcoming.
