Worship and folktronica artist Crowder just celebrated his first career solo No. 1 single for "Come As You Are" after a Nashville performance on Tuesday.

"'Come As You Are' is my favorite song that I have ever been a part of writing, and I am so grateful I was able to be a part of this thing coming to life," said Crowder at Tuesday night's celebration according to a press release. "Matt (Maher) and Ben (Glover), thank you for writing this song with me.  I am grateful to Gabe (Scott) and Ed (Cash) for making all of the music come around it in a way that echoes the grandness of the lyrics that God breathed out of us.  To the entire team that has supported and invested in us for the last 15 years, this is just beautiful - thank you."

"Come As You Are" has received tons of praise from fans, industry, radio and media. The song reached the number one spot in January on the Christian AC Indicator Chart, and it continues to remain in the top 10 on both Christian AC Indicator and Inspo Charts. The track earned Crowder the first solo GRAMMY ® nomination of his career, and a nod for "Best Worship Song" at the upcoming K-LOVE Fan Awards taking place in Nashville on May 31, 2015.

"To see the first No. 1 come after 15 years of working with David (Crowder) is a reminder that it is worth the time and investment to keep believing.  God has obviously been doing something great the whole time, we have experienced it, but we are seeing something amazing in these recent days.  The best is yet to come, and I think tonight is proof of that," said sixstepsrecords' Chief Strategist Shelley Giglio. "There are so many people that have been a huge part of this process - band members, radio teams, writers, producers and more - we want to thank them for their hard work.  We congratulate David because he has carried the song so incredibly well."

Crowder has been taking his front-porch stage across the country, and joined the all-star line-up of  "The Rock & Worship Roadshow" tour and is headlining an extended version of his "Neon Steeple Tour" which will wrap at the end of this month.
