Pure –N–Heart

Stellar Award Winning Youth Choir ready to record its 5th live CD. Pure-N-Heart Kids, Teen PNH & PNH Movement are made up of over 400 anointed and gifted musicians, preachers, songwriters, and artists from SC, NC and GA.

The recording weekend kicks off August 30, 2014 at the beautiful Cornerstone Baptist Church, 700 Converse St, Spartanburg, SC, where Bishop Charles Jackson is pastor, at 5:08pm. When asked about the start time being 5:08pm, Alphaeus, the PNH founder & director says, because Matthew 5:8 says “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”

Some of the special guest artists that will be featured on this recording and concert are National Recording Solo Artist Lowell Pye from Men of Standard, LaJeune Thompson, Shawn Bigby, who is label mate of PNH and debuted at #27 on Billboard with his recent release, John P Kee’s Lil Rufus, and more!

The recording will spill over to the next day at one of the biggest Southeastern Gospel concerts called SpiritFest, presented by ERAY Promotions featuring Kirk Franklin, Erica Campbell, Tamela Mann, Tye Tribbett, Lee Williams, Rance Allen, and More! Pure-N-Heart will open up this event in a very first live recording presentation at SpiritFest!

Pure-N-Heart garnered national success within the Gospel Music community in 2012 when they won a Stellar Award in the children’s category. They are the first and only children’s and youth choir in SC to receive such a highly esteemed and coveted award. In 2013, they were also nominated for a Dove award, again making history in SC.

PNH is more than a choir. PNH also believes in musical training, purity, education and preparing youth for success. One of the success stories of PNH is Delvin Choice, who obtained national and international exposure when he became one of the final contestants on the hit reality TV music competition, “The Voice.”

The finished product entitled, “Pure-N-Heart Revolution LIVE” is scheduled to release late summer 2014. To learn more about the group, go to http://www.purenheartrevolution.com or you can call 864-271-4136.
