Christopher Ames releases CD for married couples

Remnant Music Group is pleased to announce the new CD release from multi-award winning independent artist, Christopher Ames.

EVERYDAY WITH YOU is a concept album that focuses on the journey of life and love in marriage.

Each year, new information regarding marriage, and divorce rates, is printed in our newspapers, magazines and spread across TV and the internet. Just as billions of dollars each year are spent in the wedding market, the dollars spent on separation and divorce also continue to climb.
Christopher Ames has cleverly crafted a cohesive collection of pop/rock songs that takes the listener from courtship, to marriage, to starting a family… through hard times that (for some) may become the breaking point of the relationship…to the point of finding hope in working through troubled times in an effort to celebrate a long and fulfilling life together.

In addition to his own songs, Christopher Ames also has several co-writes with some notables including Bob Halligan Jr of Ceili Rain, and Whiplash Recording Artist, Jill Parr (who helped pen the title track). There is also a new arrangement of a popular wedding song written by John Denver.

In regards to marriage and the spiritual realm, The Journal of Family Psychology recently reported that “integration of religion and marriage… consistently associated greater global marital adjustment, more perceived benefits from marriage, decreased marital conflict, more verbal collaboration, and less use of verbal aggression and stalemate to discuss disagreements.” Listeners will certainly hear the Christian commitment of Christopher Ames on this project, but many of the songs also have mainstream or secular appeal.

Produced by Joe Hand of Joe Hand Music Productions in Nashville, TN, EVERYDAY WITH YOU is sure to win the hearts of audiences from young adults to those celebrating marriage milestones. The feedback from those associated with Marriage Restoration Ministries is already building positive momentum, and several licensing partnerships are currently being explored. A coordinating devotional will also be released prior to Christmas.

Christopher Ames has been a Remnant Music Group artist since 1991. He has received 3 KCCM Awards (Kansas City Christian Music Awards) for Acoustic Artist of the Year, Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. In 2007 he received the Momentum Award presented in Nashville for Instrumental Artist of the Year following the release of his instrumental CD, Take It In. In 2006, he also received the Spirit of Unity Award presented at the Momentum Awards to an artist recognized for their outstanding commitment to community and fellowship. EVERYDAY WITH YOU is the 5th CD release for Christopher Ames. Christopher Ames has an endorsement partnership with Breedlove Guitars.
