Imagine singing and dancing with Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and all your favorite Sesame Street Live friends! It’s as easy as counting " 1-2-3 … Imagine!" This high-energy musical will transport audiences to far away places as Ernie captains the high seas, Elmo dances to the rhythm of the African rainforest and Bert meets an octopus who has the blues. It’s a story of adventure and fun that teaches children they can be anyone, do anything and go anywhere with the power of imagination.

He could be basking in his songwriting accolades, but Jamey Johnson remains a restlessly creative maverick. Jamey is the co–writer of the CMA and ACM 2007 Song of the Year "Give It Away," recorded by George Strait. Trace Adkins, George Jones and Joe Nichols have also recorded his songs. But instead of sitting at home counting his royalty checks, Jamey Johnson recorded more than 40 songs during the past year. Not content with providing hits for others, the singer–songwriter has a powerful drive to sing, record and perform. "Writing is not enough for me," says this intense artist. "I did not come here to just be a writer. I live to play...I’m not here to take a stab at it. I am going to DO it."

Life was good for Matthew West. Having catapulted onto the Christian music scene in 2003 with his debut single, "More"-the most played Christian AC song of 2004-the multi-Dove Award nominee and sought–after songwriter had enjoyed two critically-acclaimed studio recordings, Happy (2003) and History (2005); been a mainstay at Christian radio with memorable hits like "Only Grace," "History" and "Next Thing You Know"; and toured with such artists as tobyMAC and BarlowGirl. But in April of 2007, with a new label home at Sparrow Records, concert dates on the books and plans to hit the studio with a fresh batch of songs for an album he'd already titled Something To Say, Matthew lost his voice. This season of silence wasn't just a wakeup call for the West's, it was a dark uncertain place. His wife, Emily said "I saw a side of Matthew that I had not yet really seen. A more fearful side, vulnerable, less confident. But also, I saw in Matthew a determination to allow God to do a work in this life through this trial. I saw him commit time each day in prayer, and really seek God for some purpose to this season."

The core message of the entire album, West says is, "no matter how many mistakes we've made or trials we’ve faced, it's the brokenness of our lives that God uses to give us something to say to the world. I was sitting in church one Sunday after my surgery when my pastor read a quote from C.S. Lewis 'God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.' It's easier to cover up the weakest moments in life, hoping no one sees, but that's not God's plan for us. 'Offer it up to Me, let Me show you what new life is like, what I can do with your mistakes.' He will amplify His voice through you in a huge way."

Ultimately, Matthew hopes to communicate the message that God is indeed at work in all our lives, in every circumstance, in every moment of our existence. And even in the silence-as Matthew well knows-there is still Hope to be shared, a story to be told, and something to say. For more information on West, visit matthewwest.com.
