Jim Sonefeld, drummer for Hootie & the Blowfish, is scheduled to release his third Christian project, Love, August 14th. The five song EP features new tunes that were written by Sonefeld and was produced by Matt Houston, Sanchez Fair, Les Hall, Stan Lynch and Billy Chapin.
Love is the follow-up project to the previous releases in the trilogy series, Found in 2012 and In in 2014, which showcases a more confident artist, who has become more comfortable with his music ministry and has developed his own unique sound. The new record spotlights messages of hope, redemption and grace that Sonefeld discovered after overcoming his substance abuses. Love will be available at all online music outlets, with physical copies available at Sonefeld’s solo performances and at Hootie & the Blowfish live dates.
“To continue making Christian music is very important to me,” says Sonefeld, “and releasing my latest project, Love, is an extension of the gratitude I have for God. He took this sinful, addicted, unsure songwriter and lifted me from a pit of desperation to the high place of serving Him. I’m confident God will keep inspiring my songwriting and put me on a path where he can best use me. I don’t know where that path will lead, but I fully trust in Him and will faithfully follow.”
Sonefeld puts his faith into action with two ministries. The first is being actively involved with Celebrate Recovery® Ministry, helping others in recovery by sharing his testimony and music to churches that offer the Celebrate Recovery® program. The second is with the Hootie & the Blowfish event, Homegrown Roundup, which provides school supplies, backpacks, shoes, uniforms, dental and eye exams, and haircuts to children in need. The 9th annual Homegrown Roundup will take place in Charleston, SC on August 8th from Noon – 4:00 pm EDT at Burke High School Auditorium.
