Singer/Songwriter John Mark McMillan released his third album, Borderland on Lionhawk Records and debuted No. 4 on Billboard's Top Christian Album chart and No. 41 on Billboard's Top 200 chart, marking it as his best debut release week to date. Receiving a lot of praise media as well as fan support. 

Borderland was funded solely by a Kickstarter campaign with close to $70,000 raised from more than 1,500 contributors.

"All of my albums have been special, but there is something extra special about this one," shares Charlotte, North Carolina native McMillan on his release day. "I think it's because it's much more of a community project than any album we've done before. Through fans' Kickstarter contribution and the way our local community of musicians & artists rallied around this project really blew my mind! I am proud of this album for many reasons but especially because I believe the sound you hear is not the sound of John Mark McMillan but the sound of my friends and I doing what we love!"

The Media has jumped on board to publicize this project Relevant Magazine's March/April issue stating, "McMillan's voice is what grabs you - it hits deep and strong, rugged as an oak. On his new album, this voice is used to project your thoughts skyward, with songs overcome with heavenly emotion."

Borderland borders on the literary. Full of metaphors that twist around themselves and images and adjectives that are at once both literal and figurative, McMillan bends words to his own devices. Religious imagery is pressed into service to describe the mundane while the ordinary is often elevated to the euphoric.

Supporting his album, John Mark McMillan will head out on his spring tour, "Are We All Animals Tour" kicking off March 29 in Orlando, FL. Opening the tour for McMillan will be a few of his Kickstarter supporters. Singer/songwriter Brady Toops will also open during select dates in the southeast. Official tour dates are listed below.
