Matthew West

Four-time GRAMMY nominee and recent ASCAP Christian Music Songwriter/Artist of the Year winner Matthew West performed at the first-ever "Sunday Morning At The River" as a part of Country Music Association's 2013 CMA Music Festival. The event also included performances by 14-time GRAMMY winner and country/bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs, as well as country music duo Joey + Rory. Pastor Mike Glenn of Brentwood Baptist Church offered a special message. Admission to the event was free to the public.

Matthew's second single, "Hello, My Name Is," from the 2012 album INTO THE LIGHT, recently hit No. 1 at Christian Radio. The song, which is inspired by a true story of addiction and recovery, holds the No. 1 spot atop the National Christian Audience, AC Monitored and AC Indicator charts. "Hello, My Name Is" also continues to hold the top spot of the iTunes Christian & Gospel Top Songs chart.

Matthew West has also just announced his fall tour. The "Into The Light Tour" will feature special guests Sidewalk Prophets and Jason Castro, and will hit 35 cities. For more information, visit www.matthewwest.com/tour.
