Singer-songwriter-author-filmmaker and 2019 Dove Award-nominated Andrew Peterson releases Behold the Lamb of God today (Oct. 25) from Centricity Music. The album is available at digital retailers and streaming outlets globally through the link http://Andrewpeterson.lnk.to/btlog, and is in physical retailers everywhere.
A completely re-recorded version of Peterson’s acclaimed, bestselling Christmas album originally released in 2004, the new album reunites many of the original cast of musicians that recorded the first album, including Andy Gullahorn, Andrew Osenga, Jill Phillips, Gabe Scott and Ben Shive. Peterson and team re-crafted the original album’s twelve songs, including fan favorites such as “Labor of Love,” “Matthew’s Begats” and “Deliver Us.”
“That recording session was one of the best experiences in my life,” says Peterson. “I walked into the room with about twenty old friends, and we recorded all of the songs in two days. To get all of the energy of the players together in one place, people I have years and years of history with, was a joy. I’ve never experienced anything like it.”
Along with the new recording, a Behold The Lamb Of God Deluxe Box Set is available that not only includes the new album along with expanded liner notes, but also a mini-documentary about the evolution of the Behold the Lamb of God tour, the complete 2018 Ryman Auditorium concert in Nashville (including special guests Jess Ray, Jason Eskridge, Marc Martel, Sierra Hull, Ron Block, Buddy Greene and many more), and additional exclusives.
The new album and box set both launch in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God annual Christmas tour that has become a cherished holiday tradition for churches and families who pack venues coast-to-coast each year. Known for its unique telling of the Christmas story through songs revealing the birth of Christ as it is foreshadowed and prophesied in the Old Testament and brought to bear in the New, the tour has also hosted a variety of special guests throughout the years, ranging from Allison Krauss to Jon Foreman, Steven Curtis Chapman, and many more.
This year’s tour, sponsored by Compassion International and The Rabbit Room, will feature special guest Jess Ray plus its classic lineup of all-star artists and musicians traversing the nation into 14 cities, including back-to-back sold out nights at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. Go to www.andrew-peterson.com for all the latest tour dates and ticket information.
“Whatever the rest of the year looks like,” Peterson says, “we come back together on the road and sing these same songs again. It’s created this unintentional liturgy of our lives for two decades, and it recenters me again and again on what got me into this in the first place—which is that God loves us so much that he put on flesh and dwelt among us.”
Along with the new music and tour, Peterson released his first adult trade book last week, Adorning the Dark: Thoughts on Community, Calling, and the Mystery of Making. A memoir of Peterson’s journey, he shares the intersection of songwriting, storytelling and vocation, along with nuts-and-bolts exploration of the great mystery of creativity. Peterson describes six principles for the writing life: serving the work, serving the audience, selectivity, discernment, discipline and community. Through stories from his journey, he shows how these principles are not merely helpful for writers and artists, but they are for anyone interested in imitating the way the Creator interacts with his creation.

RED RELEASE COVER SONG, ANNOUNCE EP, TOUR
Oct 20, 2019 Artist Updates
Cover of Fuel’s “Hemorrhage” (Out Today)
From THE EVENING HATE EP (Nov 1)
RED To Join IN FLAMES for 34-City US, Canada Tour This Fall
GRAMMY® nominated, RIAA Certified Gold-selling rock band RED is set to release The Evening Hate EP November 1st via RED ENTERTAINMENT / The Fuel Music to digital outlets worldwide. The 5-track EP features the lead single and title song featured on SiriusXM Octane, Loudwire, hardDrive with Lou Brutus, hardDrive XL, New Metal Tracks (Spotify), Music Choice, as well as follow-up single, “From The Ashes,” headed to radio October 25th.
The EP also includes the band’s latest cover song, its take on Fuel’s No. 1 hit song “Hemorrhage (In My Hands).”
“We all love music and are old enough to have some pretty big favorites over the years, but when Anthony [Armstrong, RED guitarist] suggested ‘Hemorrhage,’ we all agreed and loved the song,” shares RED vocalist Michael Barnes. “It actually came together rather quickly and as an added bonus we were able to work with the original producer of the song on our version!”
Produced by Ben Grosse, known for mixing RED’s albums as well as working with Fuel, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Alter Bridge and many others, “Hemorrhage” releases today to all digital and streaming outlets around the world (https://lnk.to/hemorrhage).
The new track joins the eclectic collection of songs RED has covered both live and in the studio from as far back as Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World,” featured on the 10-year anniversary of the GRAMMY-nominated album Innocence & Instinct out last month, to “Unstoppable” (originally by Sia) on its previous album GONE.
RED, comprised of Barnes, identical twin brothers Anthony and Randy Armstrong (bass), and longtime live drummer Dan Johnson, will also join In Flames for a 34-city major market tour across the US and Canada this fall:
