NEW CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN ALBUM RECEIVING GRAMMY BUZZ

?There are Angels? by Father Peter Bowes Has Music Industry Insiders Believing
CHICAGO, Illinois (April 12, 2010) ? With his eleventh Contemporary Christian Music album, Father Peter Bowes has music industry insiders talking about a possible Grammy nomination. Following the deeply moving Follow Me (2008), Father Peter sets out into new musical territory with his latest album, There are Angels. The album expands on Father Peter's singer/songwriter roots to explore the deepest aspects of faith in a fresh contemporary style that references genres as diverse as indie rock, blues, jazz and reggae.

Produced by Chicago native Stefan Beneteler, whose credits include work with George Clinton and Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith (Agape), the album showcases an all?star cast of musicians that break through the clich?s and generalizations of the Christian genre, delivering a soul?inspiring blend of music and lyrics that have both Christian listeners and those outside the genre buzzing.

?This music comes streaming into me as a gift to me and to anyone who is truly searching for God,? says Father Peter. ?I am the midwife who assists in the delivery of God's music. The images and feelings in the music move into one's heart and open an avenue into a relationship with our Creator. If you enjoy what God has moved
through me, then I am content and at peace.?

Unique to the production was the open collaboration between the artists, all of whom let the spirit move them to contribute in unexpected ways. ?For a producer this was a dream come true,? says Beneteler. ?Father Peter gave me and the other musicians the freedom to interpret his music and we just let the songs take us where they wanted us to go. The final product reflects the best that we each have inside of us as artists.?

The result is a collection of songs that will entertain and uplift fans of many musical genres. The reggae?infused "How Can I Love You? is an inspiring call to come into closer relationship with Jesus; ?Are There Angels? speaks to our childlike desire to feel God's love and features a heartbreaking arrangement of instrumentals; and the powerfully affirming ?You Can See Him? rocks the message of peace and hope to an indie groove. From the soft and melodic ?Mother's Love? and the steering wheel tapping beats of ?Overflowing? to the edgy groves of "Go Slow? and the all?out anthem feel of ?God of All Creation? and ?Do You Want to Fly Away,? There are Angels is a richly varied album that relates Father Peter's message of love and glorification of God.
