“Acoustic Worship Sessions,” the highly anticipated new collection from singer/songwriter, worship leader, and American Idol alum Clark Beckham, arrives June 26 from NCS Records (NRT Music). Drawing heavily on the gospel, soul and R&B styles that have long influenced his artistry, Beckham’s first project in nearly six years delivers stirring new piano/vocal interpretations of six worship classics.

A genre-spanning vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and gifted arranger, Beckham’s uniquely nuanced renditions of familiar favorites frame “Acoustic Worship Sessions” as an intimate and deeply personal set. From restrained moments of reflection to powerful cries of praise, the album features such hits as “Goodness Of God,” and “Graves Into Gardens,” as well as the modern worship classics “Great Are You Lord,” “I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever,” “Nobody Greater,” and “How Great Is Our God”—the latter of which is reprised as the project’s closer.

“I think the elements of this record have always been in me, I just didn't know how to put it together,” Beckham shares. “Growing up, I listened to ‘60s and ‘70s music like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. I loved God and worshipped Him in church, but when my love for God and my love for soul and R&B met, this is what came out. Now it's how I worship when it's just me, Him, and the piano.”

“I want to introduce the glory of God that is expressed in major seven chords, in tri-tone substitutions, in modulations and falsetto notes,” Beckham explains. “He is the God of all harmony, melody, rhythm, and tones. My conviction is to use these arrangements as an authentic expression of my love for Him and to inspire others to do the same.”

With an earnest resolve to lean into life’s hard questions and embrace the challenges that come with authentic growth, acclaimed alternative-indie rock band Eauclaire bows “Changing.” Now available from NCS Records (NRT Music), the single channels the nostalgia of early 2000s alt-rock with a fresh, modern edge.

Penned by group members Bryant Urich, Justin Barnett and Kyle Kicker, along with Robert Joseph Ricotta Jr. and Colony House’s Scott Mills—the latter of whom also produced the track—“Changing” addresses the tension between the now and the not yet: “Don’t wanna forget while I’m waiting/Pain is a part of the making/So I’ll keep changing.”

The song is also reflective of the band’s journey. Forming as college students more than 16 years ago, Eauclaire’s discography traces a cohesive, yet evolving sound forged by time and perspective. Now husbands and fathers raising families of their own, the group finds solidarity in facing the growth and pressures of life together—shaped by change but defined by purpose.

“This band has always been a mirror for us to articulate what’s happening in real life in any given season,” explains Eauclaire’s Bryant Urich. “Raising a family is hard. Being a band in 2026 is hard. Making great music without cutting corners is hard. Following God when everything else screams the opposite is hard. But the joy that all those things bring when you stay the course is everything. We keep changing to become more like the One who never does.”

“When we accept the reality of hardship and work to make it through, the good times are even sweeter and more meaningful,” adds group member Kyle Kicker. “I’m learning to let go of control and expectations and make the best of what has been given to me, and I hope this song can encourage others to do the same.”

“Changing” arrives on the heels of Eauclaire’s evocative March single “Heaven on Earth,” a track inspired by and partially recorded at the Heaven on Earth Festival in Moab, Utah. Both songs will be featured on the band’s third full-length album and first NCS Records set slated for release in August.

Nashville-based boutique publisher Rabbit Room Press has notched its biggest book launch to date with the history-making success of “Galahad and the Grail,” the debut volume in British poet and priest Malcolm Guite’s epic poem cycle, “Merlin’s Isle: An Arthuriad.” Landing in the Top 50 on Amazon’s overall “Best Sellers in Books” chart last week, “Galahad and the Grail” is currently sold-out in Amazon's U.S. store.

Unprecedented demand for preorders made “Galahad and the Grail” a near sell-out even before its April 20 release and propelled the title to a Top 15 debut on Publishers Weekly’s “Hardcover Frontlist Nonfiction” chart. With undisputed proof that Guite’s fresh take on Arthurian legend has found deep resonance in the Digital Age, Rabbit Room Press is looking ahead to the second of four volumes in the “Merlin’s Isle” series, “The Coming of Arthur.” Slated for release November 2, the forthcoming work has already generated presales in excess of 2,000 books.

“I recognized early on that with ‘Merlin's Isle,’ Malcolm Guite was attempting something historic, something that only happens once in a generation,” explains Rabbit Room Press publisher Pete Peterson. “We're in a cultural moment in which a lot of people are looking to the traditions of the past to give meaning to the present, and Malcolm's work fulfills that desire wonderfully, it's rooted in a kind of storytelling tradition that's been nearly lost, and yet is incredibly relevant to our 21st century experience—we're hungry for grace, courtesy, leadership, ecological restoration, connection to the land, and ultimately to the Source behind all those things. Malcolm is able to package all that up in a way that's incredibly fresh and alluring.”

In addition to Guite’s newly minted bestseller, Rabbit Room Press boasts the top-selling “Every Moment Holy” series by Douglas Kaine McKelvey; “Glad & Golden Hours” by Lanier Ivester; Jonathan Rogers’ “The Wilderking Trilogy”; and Randall Goodgame's “Scripture Hymnal,” among numerous other acclaimed fiction and nonfiction titles.

Rabbit Room Press is part of The Rabbit Room, a multi-faceted creative community birthed in 2007 by award-winning singer/songwriter and author Andrew Peterson. Inspired by a visit to C. S. Lewis’ home in Oxford, England, Peterson launched The Rabbit Room with a mission to create and curate stories, music, and other expressions of art to nourish the life of Christ-centered communities. Headquartered in a 150-year-old farmhouse in Nashville, Tennessee, since its inception nearly two decades ago The Rabbit Room’s scope has grown to include Rabbit Room Press, the Rabbit Room Podcast Network, Rabbit Room Theatre, a bookstore, and live events like the popular Hutchmoot conference held annually in both the U.S. and the U.K.

“More Like You,” the latest in a string of stirring new singles from singer/songwriter and American Idol alum Michael Sarver, is now available on streaming platforms from S&G Music Enterprises (distributed by WieRise Music). Penned by Sarver and Sidewalk Prophets’ Dave Frey along with Ben McDonald, Dan Macal, and Justin Richards, the potent pop anthem takes aim at the motives of the heart.

A powerful plea for authenticity challenging performative platitudes and superficial spirituality, “More Like You” is ultimately the expression of a desire deeply rooted in Sarver’s soul: "I wanna find beauty in all things/Like You do/I wanna be real hope and shine it/Like You do."

“I hope this song can invite others to adopt the heart and lifestyle of Jesus Christ without imitation,” he shares. “As Christians, we can ‘talk the talk’ but often our walk isn’t in alignment with Him. I am no exception. I’ve been in situations where I didn’t represent Jesus in a way that truly resembles and honors Him.”

“Are we a light to the world for His sake or are there areas where we need to grow and change to be more like Him?” Sarver asks. “Do we see others through His eyes? Do we love others with His love? Do we treat others with His kindness? Do we extend the same grace to others He extends to us? These are all questions that demand honest answers so we can grow in Him and truly reflect His love to others.”

Following March’s “Limitless” and the 2025 tracks “Warrior,” “Victory Song,” and “All I Need,” “More Like You” adds to the rapidly growing repertoire of singles Sarver has released since stepping into the Christian music spotlight last year.

ABOUT MICHAEL SARVER
A lauded singer/songwriter and worship leader whose story is rooted in faith, resilience, and real-life grit, Michael Sarver was catapulted from the oil fields of rural Texas into the national eye as a Top 10 finalist on Season 8 of American Idol. Turning heads with his powerhouse voice and commanding stage presence, Sarver released multiple country singles and performed across the nation in the years following his Idol appearance. Unable to shake an innate beckoning to write and record music with a greater purpose, he left the country spotlight to serve as a church worship leader in Texas before fully embracing the call to Christian music. A native of Sulphur, Louisiana, Sarver discovered a love for songwriting at the age of 14—a passion that continues to help guide his musical journey.

"Galahad and the Grail," the debut volume in renowned British poet and priest Malcolm Guite’s highly anticipated new series, "Merlin’s Isle: An Arthuriad," bows today from Rabbit Room Press, having already topped Amazon’s “Best Sellers in Religious Poetry,” "Best Sellers in Epic Poetry," and “Best Sellers in British & Irish Poetry” charts.

Arriving to high praise from critics and fans alike, "Galahad and the Grail" tells of the legendary quest for the Holy Grail as reimagined through the eyes of the virtuous knight Galahad. Daniel Nayeri, author of The New York Times lauded title "Everything Sad Is Untrue," calls Guite's tale “…a magnum opus in the making,” while London's The Times says, "...that his book exists is a glorious miracle all of its own," and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams calls the work “vigorous and fresh…whets the appetite for much more."

Celebrating the publication of "Galahad and the Grail," multiple marquee events have been held around the U.S. this spring, including “An Evening with Malcolm Guite," the book’s official Rabbit Room Press launch. Also featuring series illustrator Stephen Crotts and special musical guests The Gray Havens, Jeremy Casella, and Lydia Tabor, the March event took place in Nashville and drew attendees from across the country. In addition, last month The Trinity Forum and The Rabbit Room presented “Take Up The Tale: Bringing the Epic Tradition Into Our Time,” a special conversation with Guite at Washington, D.C.’s National Press Club.

The debut of four releases in Guite’s history-making epic cycle—the first multi-volume poetic retelling of Arthurian legend published in nearly two centuries—"Galahad and the Grail" honors the traditional ballad form while speaking with fresh vitality to modern readers. Hallmarked by Guite’s profound insights on courage, honor, and the spiritual journey, the story is further enhanced by more than 25 exclusive illustrations from award-winning South Carolina-based artist Stephen Crotts.

"Galahad and the Grail’s" immediate resonance fuels anticipation for "The Coming of Arthur," the second volume in the "Merlin’s Isle" series. Releasing November 2 from Rabbit Room Press, preorders for "The Coming of Arthur" have landed the forthcoming title on multiple Amazon bestseller lists to date.

Known for his virtuosity as a genre-spanning vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, NCS Records singer/songwriter Clark Beckham opens the latest chapter in a celebrated musical journey with his stirring new rendition of “Goodness of God.” Now available on streaming platforms, the American Idol alum’s simple yet impassioned piano/vocal delivery breathes new life into one of the most popular worship songs of this century.

Shades of Beckham’s signature pop, soul and jazz influences ground a nuanced take on the Ed Cash, Ben Fielding, Jason Ingram, Brian Johnson and Jenn Johnson-penned track. Revealing an arrangement organically inspired during Beckham’s personal times of worship and reflection, “Goodness of God” marks the first in a series of reimagined favorites he is slated to release this year via NCS Records (NRT Music).

“When I worship—when it's just me and the piano and Him—the way I express my relationship and adoration and respect for God is different because of the tools I've gained from learning how to play different styles,” Beckham says. "I think we get stuck in a mindset that worship songs need to be sung and performed a certain way, but in doing that we cut ourselves off from the beauty found in embracing other musical styles in worship.”

Award-winning Residence Music singer/songwriter Justin Gambino returns with “Let Me Not Forget,” a moving contemplation of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Now available on streaming platforms, the reflective piano/strings ballad was produced by Walter Halliwell and penned by Gambino, Halliwell and Tony Wood.

Arriving on the cusp of Holy Week, “Let Me Not Forget” bears the hallmarks of a timeless hymn—an immediately resonant melody that elevates impassioned, Truth-filled lyrics: “Let me not forget that day so dark/Let me not forget Your open arms/Should I not remember how Love would reach so far/Let me not forget Your scars.”

“The song was written and a demo was recorded in less than four hours, and we all knew we had something very special,” Gambino recalls. “With the production, I didn’t want the listener to have to work to understand the lyrics—it’s a song that asks for breath. Every detail that went into creating ‘Let Me Not Forget’ was intentional, and I believe was Holy Spirit inspired.”

The debut single from Gambino’s first-ever worship set, Garden of the Lord—slated for release later this spring—“Let Me Not Forget” compels conviction and extends hope. “The mind is the devil’s playground and if we allow it, what we will remember throughout the day is what someone else did to us; the gossip or rumors told about us or others; the grief we’re going through; the fear, doubt and anxiety that keep knocking on the doors of our minds,” Gambino explains. “But if we choose to focus on Jesus and His scars, all those things have no other place but beneath the peace that comes from remembering the price that was paid on Calvary.”

ABOUT JUSTIN GAMBINO
Since 2015, acclaimed Texas-based singer/songwriter Justin Gambino has cultivated an enthusiastic following across the United States and around the world with his charismatic live performances and hope-filled anthems. With two EPs, two full-length recordings, and numerous cinematic music videos to his credit, Gambino’s signature songs include "Just Like Jesus," “Courage,” “Fighting On My Behalf,” and “Anchored.” In 2024, he was named Artist of the Year Christian/Gospel/Inspirational Male at the 10th Annual Josie Music Awards, the largest independent music awards show in the world. Gambino has performed at festivals, churches, camps and other venues, opening for such genre leaders as TobyMac, for KING + COUNTRY, Crowder, Casting Crowns, Skillet and Switchfoot.

Gambino’s prodigal journey is an overarching theme in his music and ministry. A rebellious teen, he was arrested for theft at the age of 18. Opting for military enlistment and community service in lieu of incarceration, he spent eight years in the US Navy. While serving in Iraq, Gambino was asked to lead worship on base, rekindling a love for music he first embraced as a child. Battling PTSD and anger issues following his military service, Gambino turned to alcohol and spiraled into depression and despair. One night, on the floor of his apartment, he cried out to God for help and a new journey of redemption, hope and purpose began. Coming full circle, Gambino now holds the Brazoria County Revival each year on the steps of the Texas courthouse where he was sentenced as a teen.

Embracing with wide-eyed wonder the beauty of creation alongside the simple and sacred moments of everyday life, acclaimed alternative-indie rock band Eauclaire returns with “Heaven on Earth.” Now available on streaming platforms from NCS Records (NRT Music), the evocative new single is currently featured on Spotify's All New Christian & Gospel and Indie Spirit playlists as well as the K-LOVE Fresh Sounds playlist on Apple Music, among other key adds.

"Heaven on Earth" was produced by Colony House’s Scott Mills and written by Eauclaire’s Bryant Urich, Justin Barnett, and Kyle Kicker, along with Emily Hostetler, Bri Ray, Joseph Moore, Sean Stevens, Ashley Hess, and Garon Brett. Inspired by and partially recorded at the Heaven on Earth Festival in Moab, Utah, the aptly titled track began as an unplanned yet earnest expression of gratitude. Reflective verses give way to an expansive chorus capturing joy and awe as Eauclaire proclaims: “I see Your hand in the stars above me/I see Your beauty and I know You love me/Not out in the atmosphere/I found Heaven on earth right here.”

“We spontaneously started writing ‘Heaven on Earth’ at the festival in 2024 and it was amazing how it came to life,” shares Eauclaire’s Bryant Urich. “We were part of a songwriting panel with members of The King Will Come worship collective and as we stared at the iconic Looking Glass Arch, we just decided to write something in that moment.”

Returning to capture vocals for the song’s bridge during last year’s festival was a full-circle moment both for Eauclaire and event attendees. “I remember seeing people with tears in their eyes, just reveling in the beauty of that moment,” recalls group member Kyle Kicker. “Some of them were there at the song’s inception, and now they are getting to participate by singing on the recording in the midst of such a beautiful place.”

“We hope ‘Heaven on Earth’ inspires a slower pace and challenges listeners to look at the beauty in the everyday—to take a breath and realize that Heaven is all around us,” adds Eauclaire’s Justin Barnett. “It can and does exist in the daily moments we share with the people we love the most.”

The "Heaven on Earth" official music video is set for release Friday, March 27 via Eauclaire's YouTube channel.

"Nothing But The Name," the highly anticipated live worship set from Nashville Christian Songwriters’ NCS Collective, is slated for release April 10. Produced by Chris Springer, the NCS Records (NRT Music) project showcases 12 original tracks aligning some of Christian music’s leading artists and songwriters alongside NCS’ stable of rising standouts.

With songwriting contributions from such worship veterans as Meredith Andrews, Mia Fieldes, Ben Schofield, and Ryan Hall, among others, "Nothing But The Name" features collaborations with acclaimed singer/songwriters Clark Beckham, Dara Maclean, John Chisum, Coby James, and Jack O’Brien, as well as burgeoning NCS Records artists Justin Barnett, Anne Elise Sherrod, and Ezra Worship Initiative.

"The vision of NCS Collective is to share a broad range of music being created in the NCS ecosystem,” explains Nashville Christian Songwriters founder and president John Chisum. "'Nothing But The Name' presents some of the best new modern worship songs bubbling up from our community of songwriters and artists while also defying age and style limitations in worship. We believe God has given us a mission to expand the boundaries of worship music and we hope this collection marks a significant step in that direction.”

The album’s title-cut and latest single, an emotive worship ballad written by Mia Fieldes, Justin Barnett, and Bryant Urich, is now available on streaming platforms. Led by Barnett—NCS Records’ newest signee—"Nothing But The Name" aptly encapsulates the project’s overarching theme.

“‘Nothing But The Name’ sets the tone for the record, pointing to the simple but essential truth that the only hope for the world is Jesus,” says Barnett. “I pray that singing the names of God through this song enables the Church to focus on the truth found in His name and see Him as He truly is. I pray it fills worshipers with hope in Him.”

Among multiple key tracks, "Nothing But The Name" is highlighted by “Mystery,” a stirring anthem co-written by and featuring American Idol alum and NCS Records singer/songwriter Clark Beckham; the impassioned “Can You See It,” co-penned and performed by Dove-nominated singer/songwriter Dara Maclean; and “You Are More,” which spotlights NCS Records' Anne Elise Sherrod and Ezra Worship Initiative.
