LOS ANGELES (Curb Records) - 2006 has been a banner year so far for country super group Sawyer Brown. Lead singer Mark Miller picked up GRAMMY and Dove awards, while the band has enjoyed continuing success with their latest CD and tour. The Curb Records quintet keeps the momentum going with the release of "Keep Your Hands To Yourself," the third single from band's most recent CD, Mission Temple Fireworks Stand. The new single arrives at radio May 4 and will go for adds May 22.
Since the release of Mission Temple Fireworks Stand, the band has been touring the country, including an April 10 appearance in Lincoln, Neb., to perform "The Nebraska Song," at a tribute to the late Cornhusker football star Brook Berringer staged by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). On May 7, Sawyer Brown performs "Dixieland Delight" to salute legendary country band Alabama at their induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Then in June, the band attends the annual CMA Music Festival known as Fan Fair in Nashville, meeting fans, signing autographs and joining a select group of their biggest fans at a special dinner hosted by the Sawyer Brown Fan Club.
Earlier this year, Sawyer Brown frontman Mark Miller won a GRAMMY Award and a Gospel Music Association Dove Award for producing Casting Crowns latest album Lifesong, which won for Album of the Year honors and earned Casting Crowns the Group of the Year Dove Award. The CD also won a GRAMMY for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album. Miller discovered the band and signed them to his own label, Beach Street Records (an imprint of Reunion Records/SONY BMG Music Entertainment).
Since the mid-1980s Sawyer Brown has enjoyed more than 20 Top 10 hits and sold millions of albums. The band was Vocal Band of the Year for six years straight with the TNN Awards, earned ACM honors as Top Vocal Group and garnered a CMA Horizon Award out of the gate in 1985. "Mission Temple Fireworks Stand" is the band's 21st Curb release.
