Integrity Music Expects “Great Things” with New Artist/Songwriter Ken Reynolds

MOBILE, Ala. – Integrity Music announces the signing of worship leader/songwriter Ken Reynolds and the international release of his solo debut Great Things on February 19, 2008.

Reynolds is the Worship Pastor of the Worship and Creative Arts Department for the 7500-member Resurrection Life Church in Grandville, Mich. He was previously featured on the CD For You I Live; a live album recorded at Resurrection Life and released by Integrity this past August.

“Ken Reynolds is an extremely talented musician with a heart for international and multi-cultural ministry,” says John Coleman, Integrity Label Group VP/General Manager.  “He shares Integrity’s passion for leading people into the presence of God through worship and he understands firsthand that worship is a catalyst for bringing the Church together.”

The 17-track Great Things also was recorded live at Resurrection Life and features Reynolds along with the church’s choir and musicians and a guest performance by bassist Victor Wooten of the Grammy Award-winning Bela Fleck & the Flecktones.

Reynolds wrote, arranged and produced most of the songs for Great Things with a little help from his younger brother Troy who wrote/arranged two tracks and also played keys for the record.  A multi-talented musician, Ken also played bass guitar and organ.

Reynolds has been making music for as long as he can remember – playing drums at age three, learning piano at six and bass by 10. His musical influences range from Earth, Wind & Fire to Andrae Crouch and Rachmaninov. And, his eclectic tastes and musical versatility blend seamlessly in the dynamic and diverse worship music valued at Resurrection Life.
Before joining the staff of the church, Reynolds spent six years as music director and songwriter for the Christian group His Image while working worked part-time as a worship leader for the Madison Square Christian Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, Mich. While there, he was able to develop and grow the church’s choir and record two CDs of all-original compositions.
Great Things will be available in stores beginning February 19.  It will be distributed to Christian retail outlets by Provident-Integrity Distribution and to general market retailers by SONY-BMG. In addition, Integrity International will distribute Great Things to over 160 countries. The album also will be available at www.integritydirect.com.
