Matt Maher, worship artist and renowned songwriter, celebrates 3 new radio adds this week from WVFJ in Atlanta, KVMV in McAllen, Texas and KLRC, Fayetteville, Arkansas. With these additional stations on board, Maher's "Alive Again" jumps to No. 18 on the Christian AC Monitored Chart, No. 16 on the AC Indicator Chart and No. 17 on the Billboard National Audience Chart position. "Alive Again" is now being played on more than half the radio stations in the country and has been heard by more than 100 million people, since its July 3 add date.

As Matt prepares for a fall tour run with Michael W. Smith, glowing reviews of his 12-song, sophomore Alive Again (9/22) are pouring in, applauding both lyrical depth and musical originality:

"Maher ... using a stripped down and eclectic approach to display his distinctive voice and heartfelt lyrics, with the resulting music feeling increasingly organic and real." ... "Maher is a self-described 'musical missionary,' and the road-worn feel of these songs brings to mind the heart of Rich Mullins or, stylistically, the later work of George Harrison."
- Greg Wallace, Worship Leader

"Maher is on the crest of the popular wave of worship-based music impacting Christian radio playlists and popping up on lyric screens in contemporary churches."
- Terry DeBoer, The Grand Rapids Press

"One of Maher's goals for his latest release, Alive Again, was to capture, through music, that feeling of what it's like for a person to discover, for himself, that God is pursuing with His incredible love. He succeeded. From the bluesy gospel country-rock sound of 'Hold Us Together' to 'You Were on the Cross,' a piano ballad that will make you cry, Alive Again elevates the whole praise and worship music genre with its authentic, heartfelt lyrics and solid, diverse musicianship. Years from now, people will still be buying this collection of songs. Fans of Coldplay, Paul Baloche and Chris Tomlin should not hesitate to add Maher's Alive Again to their CD collection."
- Mark Weber, Charisma & Christian Life Magazine

"Discriminating ears long for intelligent worship songs cut from slightly darker cloth, and Matt Maher heeds that cry with an unselfconscious sophomore effort...Maher successfully brings movement to stagnant worship circles."
- Andrea Bailey Willits, Christianity Today

"Worship leader and Christian music extraordinaire, Matt Maher returns shortly with another gem in Alive Again."
- Francis Petruziello, The Cleveland Leader

"Without a doubt, Maher's new song ['Remembrance'] will find its rightful place in many church communion services."
- Dan MacIntosh, Soul-Audio

Maher joins the Glory Revealed lineup -- opening for Third Day's Revelation Tour - in select markets until the launch of Michael W. Smith's 17-city "New Hallelujah World Tour" on October 22. Maher is the musical host of the concert's first half, which also features his Provident Label mate Phil Stacey (www.philstacey.com) and new artist/worship leader Meredith Andrews.
