Three years in the making, Grammy ® nominated recording artist Jonathan Butler is set to release his highly-anticipated new gospel CD, Free, on October 30, 2015 through Rendezvous Music. The smooth jazz artist first catapulted onto the Gospel music scene with the Grammy-nominated hit "Falling In Love With Jesus," and Butler once again impresses with his emotional testimony on Free, reflecting his life the past few years. "I've been through a fire and all kinds of challenges. It's been a crazy three or four years," Butler said. "So this album is a testimony of God's goodness. With the timing of all these things happening to me and in the midst of all of that, writing a record was pretty heavy. I was going through quite a lot personally and I wanted to make that statement very clear on this album that I'm in a new season in my life."

Founded in Denton, Texas and based out of Nashville, Tennessee, spirited indie folk-pop ensemble Seryn crafts emotionally charged, harmony-laden Americana-kissed pop confections that invoke names like Typhoon, Mumford & Sons, and the Low Anthem. Formed in 2010 around the talents of Nathan James Allen, Trenton Wheeler, Aaron David Stoner, Jenny Moscoso, Jordan Rochefort, and Scarlett Deering, the sextet, which employs an instrumental arsenal that includes guitar, ukulele, accordion, bass, violin, and banjo, as well as some inventive percussion, released its debut album, This Is Where We Are, in 2011. The LP received nearly unanimous regional acclaim, as did the group's rousing live shows. After relocating to Nashville, the band issued a second studio album, 2015's Shadow Show.
