New Harvest Records Debut Release With Vital Communications Project Set To Release This Fall
Nashville, TN (July 17, 2007) – Vital artist, New Harvest, has just completed recording their first studio project, set to release nationwide September 11, 2007.
New Harvest members, Terence Hayes, Tim Wilson, Joe Byrd, and Norman McDuffie began their ministry in Dayton, Ohio, and in 2005, was awarded their first record deal with Vital Communications after winning the Exalting Him National Talent Search.
The self-titled project is under the A&R guidance of Bubba Smith (Shirley Caesar, Kirk Franklin, Michelle Williams) and Stacy Merida (Bishop T.D. Jakes, Vicki Yohe). Gospel producers Paul Porter (Christianaires, Salem Harmonizers), Kyle Bynoe (The Mighty Clouds of Joy) and Bubba Smith produce New Harvest’s self-titled debut project. “It was a great experience recording in Nashville because we came back to the city where it all started at the Exalting Him Talent Contest. To be in the presence of a legendary producer, Paul Porter, was a great experience itself,” stated Hayes.
New Harvest’s talent and passion for the Gospel has landed them performances with artists such as Christ Tabernacle Choir, and Teresa Hairston’s Gospel Heritage Praise and Worship Conference. The first single off their debut release, “I Can’t Stop Praising Him,” is a soul-stirring worship anthem that prompted Donnie McClurkin to join the group on stage during a recent performance. Promotional tours are planned for major markets including Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Atlanta.
