DAVID
MEECE TO BE INDUCTED INTO CHRISTIAN
MUSIC HALL OF FAME
Pioneer Artist of The
Beginnings Concert To Be Honored at June 14th Ceremony
 Nashville,
TN (June 9, 2008) - Pioneer recording artist David
Meece will be among the newest inductees to enter the Christian Music Hall
of Fame at the June 14, 2008 ceremony at Cottonwood Creek Baptist Church in
Allen, Texas. He joins fellow 2008 Christian
Music Hall of Fame inductees
Michael W. Smith, Dottie Rambo, John Schlitt
(lead singer of Petra),
Stryper, Ed Enoch, Lou Wills Hildreth
and The Staple Singers. During the event, which is slated to begin at 7:00
p.m. CST, Meece will be performing his classic hit song "We Are The
Reason," which can be seen on the upcoming The Beginnings Concert DVD/CD collection.
"When
I look at the list of artists being inducted, I find it quite humbling, and
I am honored to be in their ranks," says Meece.
The
Beginnings Concert, an all-new live concert DVD/CD collection,
features fresh performances by some of the founding pioneers of
contemporary Christian music, including Dallas Holm, Leon Patillo, Barry McGuire, Don Francisco, Chuck Girard,
Steve Archer, Janny Grein,
Dony McGuire, Reba Rambo McGuire and David Meece. Captured over two
evenings, The Beginnings
Concert event at Community
Bible Church
in San Antonio, Texas, marks the first time that all of
these artists have ever appeared together on one stage.
 For this
live recording, these contemporary Christian music trailblazers have given
the original recorded arrangements of their songs a fresh sound through the
use of a well-chosen live backup band and state-of- the-art technology,
resulting in an up-to-the-minute feel while retaining the integrity of the
initial recordings. The
Beginnings Concert DVD/CD collection puts music fans on the
front row of the audience, allowing them to experience these classic,
powerful songs made fresh for a whole new generation.
The
four-disc The Beginnings
Concert DVD/CD collection features three hours of music (with
27 unique live performances), testimonies and bonus features. The first DVD
disc showcases individual original performances by each of the artists,
along with artist testimonies between songs. The second DVD disc gathers
all of the artists around a piano, joining together to bring to life some
of the best-known classics from each artist in the group. The two-disc CD
collection captures all of the live performances showcased on the DVDs so
that fans can enjoy the broadcast quality music no matter where they are.
The
variety of the music makes The
Beginnings Concert a truly unique event. Featured in the
collection are powerful performances of Christian classics such as
"Rise Again" (Dallas Holm), "He's Alive" (Don
Francisco), "The Name Above All Names" (Chuck Girard), "We
Are the Reason" (David Meece), "Jesus Is the Answer" (Steve
Archer), "Bullfrogs and Butterflies" (Barry McGuire),
"Covenant Woman" (Janny Grein), "The Land of Oohs
and Aahs" (Reba Rambo McGuire), "A
Perfect Heart" (Dony McGuire) and "J.E.S.U.S." (Leon Patillo).
The
Beginnings Concert DVD/CD collection is slated for release in
late summer 2008. For more information on The Beginnings Concert DVD/CD collection, visit
