Weston Skaggs' "Joy and Sorrow Meet" Releases This Friday

Worship leader Weston Skaggs, the newest artist on the Sprig roster, will release his new album Joy and Sorrow Meet this Friday, July 29th. Skaggs Skaggs comes with a long history of ministry to the church, as well as a deep reservoir of powerful songs that we believe the world needs to hear.
"I am so glad to be a part of the Sprig music family," says Skaggs. "This team is full of incredibly talented and Godly people who have made me feel welcomed and encouraged."
Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Skaggs is known for his unique blend of indie folk music and American roots. Add to that his heart for the local church, and what comes out is a worship leader who's able to paint pictures of the highs and lows of the human experience. His songs are deeply authentic and accessible, drawing from situations like the dramatic birth of his daughter.
"My wife, Amy, nearly died in childbirth with Paisley," recounts Skaggs. "She lost 10 liters of blood due to hemorrhaging, and underwent a hysterectomy during a 4-hour life-saving surgery." The implications of the surgery are far-reaching, as anyone can imagine. But Skaggs insists that God used the experience for good. "Some extraordinary things happen to someone who holds on to the love of God when the odds are totally against them. Only one thing can account for it all-the love of God in Christ Jesus."
And it's precisely from this sort of place that Skaggs penned the lyrics to of his upcoming LP Joy & Sorrow Meet. "Out of the wreck I rise," he says, "every single time." The album pre-releases on Friday July 22, 2016 exclusively at Kingdom Bound at Darien Lake, NY with a full release the following Friday, July 29 on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Play, and physically at Sprig Music Store.
"Being a church-founded, artist-centric label means that Sprig has no conflict of interest to tamper with their artists' songs and personal calling," Skaggs adds. "This has allowed me to feel very settled and free to create the most true expression of my art in the studio."
