Louder Than The Music

Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Sara Groves is making her new live Christmas album available for free on her website. 'O Holy Night Tour Live: The Prison Show' was recorded in front of the women of an Illinois prison, during two intimate performances to over 1000 enthusiastic women, and is available from www.saragroves.com now.

Sara partnered with Hope Shows Ministry, an organization that produces Christian concerts in prisons and benefit events on behalf of prison ministry, and brought Christmas to the women singing some of her holiday favorites showcased on her album 'Oh Holy Night' (2009) while also sharing the true meaning of Christmas.

"We got a call from Hope Shows asking us if we would be able to bring our O Holy Night Christmas Tour into a prison they partner with", explained Sarah. "Like any group of people, there is no monolithic persona for inmates. This is always the biggest surprise for anyone who visits. Our prison populations are made up of a diversity of men and women who are made in God's image, and Jesus himself asks us to not forget them (Matthew 25:36). We are giving this recording away for free so that you can enjoy the rawness of this night of music, and hear the fellowship we experienced."

Groves will continue to share the Christmas story to audiences on her 'O Holy Night Tour' as they visit select cities in the US between 2nd and 19th December.
