 What is Sounds Like Love?
Sounds Like Love is a Christian choral festival for High School students, grades 9 - 12, which will be part of 500 other students making a mass choir for two performances on Sunday afternoon. Not only will there be singing all weekend, there is worship time, fellowship, some teaching time, plus learning choreography for the music. There is also a performance from a Christian artist; past artists have included By the Tree, Paul Colman, Fusebox, and many other Christian artists. This weekend is a great time to meet many new people and build lasting relationships, such as, with your host family, students from other churches, students from your own church, also with the leaders from your church. This is a great weekend to share your gift of singing with others and to worship the Lord. Be a voice for the church and your generation, by showing your love for Christ with your voice. Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set
an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12.
Sounds Like Love 2007 will be held at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, Mahtomedi, MN.

Guest Artists for 2007:
Kendall Payne
When the debut album "Jordan's Sister" by unknown artist
Kendall Payne
hit the stands... people took notice. The album sold close to 100,000 units, and
its music was featured in films including "Never Been Kissed" staring Drew Barrymore
and "Beautiful" with Minnie Driver, and the single "Supermodels" was selected as
the theme song for the WB's hit TV show "Popular." In 2001 Payne was honored with
a prestigious Dove Award for Best Alternative Rock Album. After co-authoring the
book Mirror, Mirror published by Zondervan and touring with the likes of Lilith
Fair, Dido, Third Day, and Delirious it seemed that everyone was beginning to understand
what made this artist so special.
Due to trying circumstances in the music business and a regime change at Capitol
Records, Payne and the label parted ways in 2002. "Every great songwriter needs
fuel for their fire," she says, "and there is no greater fuel than the ache of rejection.
I just never bargained for how hot the flame could get." She also parted ways with
her Management Company and Christian label counterpart. Once the darling of the
industry and now alone in the music business, she recounts, "I found myself standing
in my living room, ironing something while in my pajamas, wishing the phone would
ring. It was quite humbling, I must say. I had made and found my identity in being
an artist. If I wasn't that anymore... I didn't know who I was."
And so began a season of soul-searching. Payne remembers, "It was a very dark place
for me, but in retrospect I would not trade it for all the success in the world."
Days were spent taking classes at community college, working odd jobs around town
and getting involved in a local church. "I felt like I was re-discovering my passion
for life." And each night she'd return home to her guitar. "It called to me - the
music was practically writing itself. It only needed me to transcribe it onto paper."
The songs began to pour out, each inspired by real life heartaches and happiness.
"People always say 'what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.' I'm a firm believer
in that principle; in fact, I'm living proof of it."
Being so moved by her voice and talent, a friend approached Payne with an offer
she couldn't refuse, financing her sophomore album all they needed was a producer.
After coffee one Thursday evening with producer Tim Schoenhals, the team was in
place, and on Monday morning Payne found herself in the studio starting the first
session on her follow-up record "Grown." Recording at the Treatment Room in North
Hollywood Payne and Schoenhals worked tirelessly for 5 straight months. The title
of the Album "Grown," finds its origin in the opening lyric to the song "Twenty
Three". A masterpiece Payne began creating on the night of her 23rd birthday. "There
was a time," says Payne "when I wanted to call the album 'Sad & Slow' because
it felt like all I was writing was sad and slow songs. I even wrote a song called
'Happy' which is about being sad."
By continuing to write songs, non-fiction and children's books, and doing speaking
engagements there appear to be no end to this artist's creative capabilities. With
the little free time Payne is left with she enjoys staying closely connected with
family and friends, and also stays involved with her church community. There is
no doubt,
Kendall
Payne
will continue to "wow" audiences for decades to come, the independent release and
success of "Grown" will indeed be an integral step in her journey.
