Featuring memorable collaborations with Owl City, Leigh Nash and Jamie Grace, the album’s track listing also spotlights performances and songs from TobyMac’s long-time touring band, DiverseCity.

    TobyMac says: “I just tried to think outside the box. It’s difficult at first to imagine some of these songs with a modern beat, but I think Christmas is about celebration and come on, on the inside everyone wants to dance. It has a bit of everything- six songs are my artistry: an eclectic blend of Christmas classics and originals. The other seven tracks are my amazing band’s (DiverseCity) individual artistic efforts. I love it.”

    Christmas in DiverseCity also features the No. 1 radio hit “Christmas This Year,” which was released as a single track last year and features the talents of Leigh Nash.

  • BMI Songwriter of the Year

    April 12, 2011 - Comments (3)

    photo 8 bmi christian awards 04 04 11 550x0 300x195 BMI Songwriter of the YearBMI recently hosted their Annual Christian Awards ceremony at their offices in downtown Nashville and TobyMac took home the award of the night “Songwriter of the Year,” making it his fourth win in this category. He shared the honor with Rodney Griffin (Greater Vision) and Bo Rinehart (needtobreathe) who also took home awards for the same title. Additionally, the songs “Get Back Up” and “City On Our Knees ” were recognized for being two of the Top 25 most performed songs on Christian radio over the past year.

    In addition to being one of Nashville’s top songwriters, TobyMac continues to mentor songwriters and artists such as Jamie Grace, through Gotee Records and is excited for what she is bringing to the music industry:

    “Jamie Grace writes, sings and plays her own music. She has a style that can’t be put into a typical label box—a dash of reggae, a dash of folk, a dash of hip hop. I’ve said it a million times, ‘If we’re ever going to be a shining city on a hill, we have to be diverse city.’ Jamie Grace is part of that diverse city. She’s such a natural, beautiful next step for our industry.”

    The new female vocalist’s latest single “Hold Me,” also featuring TobyMac, was recently given the spotlight at iTunes ® as the Discovery Download. Listeners welcomed Grace with open arms as over 188,000 downloads were received. Click here for more information on Jamie Grace.

    TobyMac is currently entertaining crowds in the thousands on the HipRockFunkSoul tour which also spotlights the solo talents of ArchNemesiz, SHONLOCK, Nirva Ready, Toddiefunk, Tim Rosenau, SuperHeRose and Byron “Mr. Talkbox” Chambers … otherwise known as the DiverseCity band.

  • New Book In Stores Now

    September 14, 2010 - Comments (5)

    CITYbookcover 187x300 New Book In Stores NowIt has always been a goal for TobyMac to use his gifts and popularity for good, preaching the gospel of hope, reconciliation, and unity through his upbeat, catchy songs—and now in his new book City on Our Knees, inspired by the number one hit single of the same name.

    “This book really is a personal and life message of mine. In today’s society, people often find themselves separated and divided—on the basis of skin color, economic status, religion, age, politics, geographic location, and so on,” says TobyMac. “But God is the father of us all, and what unites us is more powerful than what divides us. That’s what City on Our Knees is all about. It shows what life can look like when we step out in love.”

    Because of his passion for inspiring believers to step out and take action for their faith, City on Our Knees is filled with compelling stories illustrating how Christians past (including Charles Spurgeon and John Wesley) and present (including young abolitionist Zach Hunter and tennis star Andrea Jaeger) have set aside differences, come together in unity, and stepped forward in action and prayer. Readers will be encouraged and inspired to do the same, summoning the commitment, courage, and devotion to bring a city to its knees.

    “I really wanted to show people that it’s the everyday moments, and how we respond to them, that are key—just one person, or one small group, can be a mechanism for change,” he says. “God can use us right here. Right now. All we need is faith that He has our best in mind. And believe me—He does.”

    Available now  … buy online at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, ChristianBook.com or at your local Christian bookstore.

  • Make a Difference Tour with Michael W. Smith, Third Day and Max Lucado

    May 17, 2010 - Comments (47)

    WV Tour 2010 Group Press Photo tn 300x200 Make a Difference Tour with Michael W. Smith, Third Day and Max LucadoWorld Vision and AEG Live recently announced the “Make A Difference Tour 2010” featuring the incredible lineup of TobyMac, Michael W. Smith, Third Day and author Max Lucado. The tour is inspired by the themes of Lucado’s new book, Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference and will kick off Sept. 30, in Youngstown, Ohio, and hit arenas in 20 cities through the end of October.

    The “Make A Difference Tour 2010” will make a difference for children by helping to raise up sponsors for 25,000 children through World Vision. Lucado set the goal last year in honor of his 25th year of publishing in 2010; he is donating 100% of author royalties from all Outlive Your Life products to benefit children and families through World Vision and other ministries of faith-based compassion.

    Lucado says: “Partnering with World Vision, TobyMac, Michael and Third Day is a real privilege and pleasure. None of us can help everyone, but all of us can help someone. And when we serve the poor, we serve God. Who would want to miss a chance to do that?”

    “The ‘Make A Difference Tour 2010’ is different by design,” says Jenny Lockwald of World Vision. “The focus of the tour is to encourage people to look beyond themselves, to turn outward and to make a difference on behalf of friends, neighbors, their community and the world. We are honored to be partnering in this endeavor with Max Lucado and this amazing group of artists.”

    Tickets will go on sale first to World Vision supporters and artist fan clubs on June 11, then open up to the general public on June 18. Visit www.MakeADifferenceTour.com for tour updates.

  • Recap from Gospel Music Week and Run for Hope

    May 10, 2010 - Comments (3)

    bmi tobychris Recap from Gospel Music Week and Run for HopeAlthough the annual Gospel Music Week in Nashville was very much scaled back this year (April 18-21), it was still a very busy time for TobyMac and Co. The BMI (song publishing company) Christian Music Awards took place on Tuesday evening where TobyMac received two honors: Song of the Year for “Lose My Soul” as well as Songwriter of the Year (tied with Steven Curtis Chapman, Chris Stevens, and Jason Walker as all four writers contributed two songs each to the most-performed list). To close the ceremony, the audience enjoyed an intimate live performance of “Boomin’.” Click here for a complete list of winners.

    Wednesday night brought the 41st Annual Dove Awards where TobyMac and DiverseCity performed a rousing rendition of “Funky Jesus Music” and took home the Dove for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year – “City on Our Knees.” If you missed the broadcast on Gospel Music Channel, you can check out some clips on youtube and read the Live Blog on gmclife.com. You can see all of the winners here.

    Then on Friday, we welcomed more than 100 runners to town for the first annual Team Freakazoids Run for Hope event. The day consisted of sharing in group devotions at New Hope Academy, a VIP luncheon and studio tour, three more studio tours, a pasta dinner and a stripped down concert. The next morning, Saturday the 24th, TobyMac along with his wife Amanda, the Freakazoids (including Sean Algaier of “The Biggest Loser” and Jess the webGirl) and a group of local Run for Hope peeps all participated in the Country Music Marathon in downtown Nashville. rfhtobypeace Recap from Gospel Music Week and Run for HopeMost completed the half-marathon, which is 13.1 miles. TobyMac was able to improve his race time by 8 minutes compared to last year, finishing in 2 hours and 14 minutes. A great time was had by all who participated and the best news is that altogether we were able to raise approximately $180,000 to benefit lower-income students and the overall mission of diversity through education (click here to learn more about New Hope Academy). We look forward to doing it again next year!

    haitismall Get Back Up Proceeds Go to Haiti ReliefDue to the devastation in Haiti, TobyMac has decided to donate 100% of his artist royalties from first week sales of his new single “Get Back Up” to relief efforts. Proceeds will be divided up amongst the Hands and Feet Organization, Restore Haiti, and Compassion International.

    “The world is responding in a beautiful way to this tragedy haitians are experiencing,” he says. “If I am going to create art that speaks of compassion than I must live that out. I wanted my new release ‘Get Back Up’ to benefit Haiti in their tragedy and I am blessed to use my music to help as your purchase becomes our gift. “

  • TONIGHT Just a Month Away

    January 9, 2010 - Comments (2)

    tonight cd TONIGHT Just a Month AwayAfter getting a great head start this past fall with the hit single, “City On Our Knees,” TobyMac’s fourth studio album Tonight will release on February 9th.

    Along with producers Chris Stevens, Jamie Moore and Dave Wyatt,  TobyMac has spent the last two and a half years creating Tonight:

    “The recording process means a lot to me, and I don’t approach what I do haphazardly,” he says. “I have a lot of passion when it comes to my records. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but there’s this range of emotions that come with making a record. Music is something that can actually open people’s minds to who God is. Music will never change the world, but God can choose to use music, and that’s what I count on. I want my songs to be said in a way that anyone can relate to them. I want them to move people’s lives forward; move people toward God, and if I’m accomplishing that, whether or not anyone loves this record, as long as I feel like that is what I’m doing, then I feel like my job is done.”

    As with previous TobyMac projects, Tonight also features special guest collaborations and a diversity of musical styles. The title track brings in John Cooper of Skillet, while “Wonderin’” features Matthew Thiessen of Relient K, and Nirva Ready belts her vocals on “Changed Forever.” A true highlight is with TruDog’s full song debut on the track “LoudNClear.”

    Tonight will be available as a physical CD and in digital form, both of which will offer deluxe editions with bonus remixes and behind the scenes videos.
