With recent press highlights including GMA, Fox & Friends, Wall Street Journal, PEOPLE Magazine, SPIN, American Songwriter and many more, Crowder is in the studio preparing for his fifth studio album coming in 2024.
From a young age, Randy Stonehill has had a passion for music, a boldness, and an optimism that few others possess. When Stonehill was just 17, he invited Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin to jam with him the next day at the band’s very first concert in the US at the Fillmore in San Francisco! Although nothing came of it, Stonehill released his very first album Born Twice just two years later in 1971.
In 1976, Stonehill released Welcome to Paradise, which was voted the “third most important contemporary Christian album” in a mid-1980s poll of Christian music critics. For his 1984 release Celebrate This Heartbeat, Stonehill teamed up with longtime friend Phil Keaggy for the song “Who Will Save The Children?” In 1989 the friends formed The Keaggy/Stonehill Band Keaggy, and the two have teamed up several other times, both live in concert and in the studio.
50 years and 30+ albums later, Stonehill is still spreading his message of grace and forgiveness through his music.
