Artist Bio

The Christian pop group Casting Crowns formed in 1999 as a student worship band in Daytona Beach, FL. Led by singer, songwriter, and youth pastor Mark Hall, the group's initial lineup also included violinist Melodee DeVevo and a pair of guitarists, Juan DeVevo and Hector Cervantes. The musicians relocated to McDonough, GA, in 2001, and expanded their lineup by adding bassist Chris Huffman, keyboardist Megan Garrett, and drummer Andy Williams. This augmented version of Casting Crowns released two independent albums on CD, both of which were well received in the Atlanta area. One of the albums then found its way into the hands of Mark Miller, lead singer for the country group Sawyer Brown, who was struck by Casting Crowns' driving pop/rock style and Hall's vocal delivery of his hard-hitting but devout songs. Miller signed Casting Crowns to his fledgling Beach Street Records, a division of Reunion Records with distribution by the Provident Label Group, and took the group into the studio along with co-producer Steven Curtis Chapman, himself a popular artist on the CCM musical scene. The resulting album, Casting Crowns, was released in 2003 on the Beach Street imprint. It fared extremely well in Christian markets, eventually going platinum and peaking at number two on the CCM charts. A sampler with five songs, Live from Atlanta, was released on Reunion Records in 2004, packaged with a bonus DVD containing band interviews and a music video. Lifesong, released in August 2005, became the band's most successful record yet, cracking the Top Ten in the secular market while maintaining the band's religious fan base as well. Like its predecessor, the record went platinum, and Casting Crowns' increased popularity helped send their follow-up album, 2007's The Altar and the Door, to number two on the Billboard album charts. Meanwhile, the single "East to West" spent a record-breaking 16 consecutive weeks atop the Christian charts. A Christmas-themed album, Peace on Earth, appeared in 2008, tiding over the group's fans (and yielding a number one hit, "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day") while Casting Crowns readied another LP of original material. Until the Whole World Sings arrived late in 2009, followed by the live album, Until the Whole World Hears in 2010.

'One Awkward Moment' Casting Crowns Visual Album Part 4 - Christian Music Videos

The fourth installment to the Casting Crowns visual album has landed with the beautiful video for ‘One Awkward Moment.’ This beloved worship band is the first Christian artist or group to release a concept video for every song on their album. Utilizing twelve tracks, each video will continue the story of a family’s journey through life. We will move between decades and generations to see God’s work in play. Before you watch part four, be sure to check out the third installment, ‘Awaken Me.’ “One word, one hand Tell me, is that too high a price? One awkward moment Could be the one that saves a life Your hurt, your scars God will use to open up her eyes One awkward moment You'll see the gospel come alive Come alive” In the previous video, the wife has learned that her husband has passed away after serving overseas during the war. Now, we’ve fast-forwarded to 1999 and see a father with his young daughter. We learn that his wife died and he has not spoken to his own mother in a long time. Encouraged by his daughter’s words, he decides to reach out and reconnect. During a visit to his mother’s house, she pulls a letter out address to the man. It’s in that moment that we finally put the pieces together to realize that this grown man is actually the child of the couple we’ve been following in previous videos. There is obviously so much more of the story to tell and each week I look forward to the next chapter.
