The band continues to write and sing songs that are filled with honesty about brokenness and the hope and strength we can find through faith in God. Songs Rhett Walker is the outspoken son of a preacher, who was born and raised in the American South. His mellow yet animated voice is a sure mix of Georgia and the Carolinas.

The band comprises Rhett Walker on vocals and rhythm guitar, Kenny Davis on drums, Joe Kane on lead guitar and Kevin Whitsett on bass. • Intro/Clone • Here’s to the Ones • Adam’s Son • Broken Man • Better Part of Me • Dead Man • Lift Me Up • A Love Like That • Someone Else’s Song • Welcome Home • Love Like Jesus • Amazed Key points • Debut album Come to the River has sold over 70,000 units • ‘When Mercy Found Me’ has had over 1 million hits on YouTube Target Audience • Fans of Casting Crowns and Third Day • Fans of contemporary rock Marketing Also AvaiLable: • Album sampled to key media • Promotion through social media channels CODE // 083061098629 PRICE // £9.99 FORMAT // CD Style // Contemporary Come to the River CD: 083061094027 £9.99 UK Trade Order Line: +44 (0)1908 268500 RIGHTS // UK & Europe Release // October 2014 Web orders: authenticmedia.co.uk Authentic Music – October 2014 Fast Forward The Walls Group A new young gospel/urban family quartet from Kirk Franklin’s Fo Yo Soul label.
