Jake, Plus One schedule performances at Jukebox Junction
“I want to impress upon people that each day is a gift from God, and a day is huge when you think about all that can be accomplished in it,” says Josh Penner, who comprises Jake with twin brother Marty and brother Toby.
The release of “Army of Love” follows Jake’s self-titled debut album which received critical acclaim in 2000, and included the chart-topping hits, “Waiting,” “Believer,” “Right Time” and “The One.”
Plus One, top selling Christian artist for 2000, was honored as the 2001 GMA New Artist of the Year. Their debut album, “The Promise,” achieved gold status with four number one hits on the Contemporary Christian Music charts and now their newest release, “Obvious,” is on the rise. Band members Nate Cole, Jason Perry, Jeremy Mhire, Nathan Walters and Gabe Combs feel that “Obvious” strongly displays Plus One’s growth. “We experimented a bit more,” Gabe commented. “We wanted to keep our tried and true audience, but also expand.”
For Plus One, three qualities have always been deemed essential: Camaraderie, singing with the utmost of soul and a clear sense of mission.
“Growing up singing in church we learned all about passion,” Jason Perry elaborated. “You don’t just get up and sing a gospel song, you pour your heart out. What’s really significant is singing when you’ve got something real to say – something from the heart.” That something remains a message of hope, renewal and new beginnings.
