Mark Schultz Releases Anticipated Album, All Things Possible
Platinum selling artist Mark Schultz reminds us that anything is possible with the release of his new album on FairTrade Services, All Things Possible, available everywhere this week. The album is his first studio release in three years and continues Schultz' incredible talent of storytelling that fans and critics have widely embraced through the years. The title track of the album continues to climb the charts and was inspired by Schultz' 3,500 mile bike ride across country to raise money for widows and orphans.
Produced by Pete Kipley (MercyMe/Phil Wickham) and Seth Mosley (Newsboys), All Things Possible reveals new stories as the multi-award-winning artist celebrated becoming a father, made new friends during his year-long stay in Italy with his wife Kate and kicked-off the "Remember Me" project to support orphans.
Mark's street week included a visit to Nashville's highly-rated morning show, WSMV's More at Midday to perform his hit single, "All Things Possible." The single is rising at No. 18 on AC monitored, No. 13 on AC Indicator and No. 7 Soft AC/Inspo with top stations spinning the song, including: KTIS/Minneapolis, KSOS/Las Vegas, WVFJ in Atlanta, The Fish Nashville, WCSG and WJQK in Grand Rapids, among many others. As he heads off to this year's CMB's Momentum 2012 conference, rave reviews continue to pour in:

"The approach to this record is as honest and heart-string tugging as any Mark Schultz project; the music has a new dimension as Mark's own life continues to expand."

- Family Christian
"With these ten tracks encompassing many musical genres and with a freshness similar to how Michael W Smith reinvents himself; the Fair Trade Services debut is something to savor, and something to check out on iTunes as well. Well done Mark, this 3-year wait is well worth it!"
- Christian Music Zine
"Mark Schultz is a master at crafting lyrics, telling small stories with big implications, theologizing in every day language...and his latest release All Things Possible has all that, and then some."

"[Mark] sticks to his storytelling script for more spine-chillers and hand-clappers...In keeping with his tradition of signature songs like 'He's My Son' and 'Letters From War,' 'One Day' is sure to pull on the heartstrings..."

Originally hailing from Colby, KS., Mark Schultz moved to Nashville to pursue his musical ambitions and found inspiration while working as a youth pastor. Schultz booked a show at the city's famed Ryman Auditorium and with the overwhelming support of friends and family, the show was a sell-out. This virtually unheard-of feat for a new artist landed Schultz a record deal where he went on to sell over 1.3 million albums and garner 10 No. 1 singles to date. He has landed the top spot on Billboard magazine's Christian Adult Contemporary Songwriter list and has been featured on "48 Hours" and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." In 2011, Schultz released his first instrumental album, Renaissance and his first novella, titled "Letters From War," based on the his hit song. His 2005 release, Mark Schultz Live: A Night of Stories & Songs, was certified Platinum by the R.I.A.A. and earned Schultz his first GMA Dove Award.
