Andrew Peterson to Release ‘The Burning Edge Of Dawn’ October 9th

Nashville, Tenn. — One of Christian music’s most prolific and thought provoking singer-songwriters will release his latest Centricity Music project, The Burning Edge of Dawn, October 9th. The album features 10 new songs written by

“Most of these songs didn’t exist about six months ago,” explains Peterson. “Usually I’ll piece together an album from songs I’ve written along the way, but this time I went into the studio with about a song and a half, looked at Gabe (the producer) and said, ‘Well, here goes nothing.’ It meant that I had no choice but to write about exactly what’s happening in my life right now, in real time. And what’s happening is that I’m seeing the first glimmers of sunrise after what feels like a long, painful night. These songs are about joy.”

These joyful songs deliver the heart-rending lyrics that Peterson fans have always enjoyed.The Burning Edge of Dawn launches with the powerful song, “The Dark Before The Dawn”:

I’ve been waiting for the sun/To come blazing out of the night like a bullet from a gun /
Till every shadow is scattered, every dragon’s on the run /
Oh, I believe, I believe that the light is gonna come.

Two of the songs are written for two ladies in his life, his wife, Jamie (“My One Safe Place”) and his daughter, Skye (“Be Kind To Yourself”). “The Rain Keeps Falling” features singer-songwriter Ellie Holcomb, and two of the songs include background vocals from his friend Caleb Chapman, of the band Colony House.

The album release concert for The Burning Edge of Dawn will be held at Peterson’s 6th Annual Hutchmoot 2015 in Nashville, TN, Friday, October 9th. The time and location will be announced soon at www.RabbitRoom.com.
