Today we talked about some upcoming album releases from some well-loved artists here on the station! Ben Fuller is bringing us his new album “Walk Through Fire” on June 6th. He has a powerful testimony that is going to be echoed throughout the songs on this album, and we’ve already heard some heavy hitters already, in “If I Got Jesus” and “Turn”!

Big Daddy Weave is also sharing their story through their upcoming album “Let It Begin”, which is releasing this Friday, May 23rd! It’s been a whole six years since we have gotten a new release like this from the band, but we have gotten to hear some of their songs coming on that album throughout these years already– Those being the song “Let It Begin” and “God Is In This Story”.

The band is also doing a fun new series on their YouTube channel, sharing all the stories behind each of the 15 songs on this upcoming release. Seeing this just goes to show that every song a band or artist puts on their record has an intentional purpose and reason for being on the album, which is really cool to see!

Today we played song poetry! We play this fun trivia game every Tuesday at the 5 o’clock hour to give you a chance to win that $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica! Here was today’s song poetry:

I learned the lines and talked the talk
But the road less traveled is hard to walk
It takes a soldier
Who knows his orders
To walk the walk I’m supposed to walk

This one was a stumper today! If you think you know this one, tune in to the Afternoon Drive next Tuesday, and give us your guess! We’re giving away two $5 gift cards to Watts Restaurant in Utica because today was a stumper!

Thank you for listening!
