Dove Award-nominated Irish worshippers and modern day psalmists Rend Collective release their fourth and highly anticipated album, The Art of Celebration, globally from Integrity Music on March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day).  The lead single from The Art of Celebration, “My Lighthouse,” celebrates God’s brightness in the midst of “troubled seas” and is being offered as a single download in 3 formats (live, acoustic, studio) from iTunes. 

 

“Celebration, the practice of joy, is a choice,” says Rend Collective band leader Gareth Gilkeson. “That doesn’t mean it’s always an easy choice to make. We know that we inevitably must navigate storms of sorrow and shadows, disappointment and doubt in this life.”

 

For the new album, Rend Collective made a recent theological breakthrough as a band that is changing everything about their approach to music and life: seriousness is not a fruit of the spirit, but joy is.  The appropriate response to the heightened understanding led to a sonically innovative message on The Art of Celebration.

 

Anyone who has experienced the controlled chaos and infectious wildness of a Rend Collective event will know that celebration and joy have always been at the core for these worship artists. Known for pushing artistic boundaries, daring the faithful to re-imagine worship and community, the band will continue its fresh, aesthetic call to worship on a major, 24-city tour in the U.S. Rend will play new music from The Art of Celebration and raucous favorites from its 5-Star acclaimed albums, Organic Family Hymnal and Homemade Worship by Handmade People, including its hit radio single, “Build Your Kingdom Here” that has been viewed more than 1,812,000 times at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbdJXKqVgtg.

 

Following the tour with Jobe, Rend will bring its “The Art of Celebration” tour home to Ireland in May along with a tour of the United Kingdom before returning to the U.S. in June.  The band is also making plans now to headline a nationwide, 40-city U.S. tour this fall, slated to run Sept. 10 through Nov. 2.  Special guests, cities and more will be announced later this year.  (See below for current tour cities, and for all the latest tour updates, go to http://rendcollective.com/tour/.)

 

The raw, rootsy, foot-stomping energy of the Irish worshippers, which has been infectious among audiences across the globe, has always been about people and building God’s Kingdom here.  Beginning as a group of friends collectively wondering how to make sense of the conundrum of life, God and community, Rend Collective is a nod to the places in Scripture where it says to “rend your hearts” and not your garments, a bold call to be genuine.
