LIMITED SEATING!!! Smalltown Poets was formed in Atlanta in 1996 by high school friends Michael Johnston, Danny Stephens, and Byron Goggin, along with Nashville musicians Kevin Breuner, and Miguel DeJesus. They burst onto the Christian music scene with their Grammy-nominated self-titled debut on Ardent/Forefront Records (EMI) in 1997 and released two more albums with the Memphis based label. Three number one singles and a total of ten top ten radio hits helped garner two Best Rock Gospel Grammy nominations, seven Dove Award nominations (including Best New Artist) and a Billboard Music video award for the band. Their song Anything Genuine was featured on the platinum-selling WOW 1999 compilation. Two albums would follow on Ardent/Forefront - "Listen Closely" (1998) and "Third Verse" (2000). In 2004. the band released "It’s Later Than It’s Ever Been" on BEC Records (EMI). The guys ended a six-year hiatus from touring and recording in 2011. Over a year in the making, "Smalltown Poets Christmas" was released November 1st of that year, with their single Good Christian Men Rejoice reaching Billboard’s Top 30 songs on Christian radio. Subsequent Decembers have found them touring with their Yuletide repertoire, and they released a follow-up project, "Christmas Time Again," in 2014. Along the way, a seven-song EP in the fall of 2012 reminded fans that the Poets aren't just a Christmas band. In May 2018, Smalltown Poets released their first full-length, non-holiday album in over a decade. For “Say Hello,” Smalltown Poets returned to Studio C at world-renowned Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, where their first three albums were brought to life. “Going to Ardent the first time to record our debut album was a monumental moment in our lives,” recalls guitarist Kevin Breuner. “For this new record, we wanted to reach back into the magic and emotion of those formative years." The next chapter in the band's musical journey lands Sept. 29th, and the album title is NWxSE. The guys think this new project might be the most personal collection of songs to date. The guys can't wait to share some of the new material Thursday December 16th at The Venue at Falls Park for Christmas with Smalltown Poets!! It's gonna be a Holly Jolly Good time!! 3 Days Leave. "We have been a band since 2005. In the past years we have had the opportunity for play for every imaginable venue/ event you can name. We have played for all different denominations, races, and creeds uniting those in attendance under the name of Jesus...four guys furiously pursuing the Kingdom of Heaven. We find our purpose in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our music is founded in our love for Christ and His ever-faithful love towards us. Our prayer, in our music, our ministry, and our lives is “Your kingdom come, your will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven.”
