Bradenton, FL - November 14, 2018 - Rock band We The Kings has shared a brand new cover from their forthcoming Christmas album, Season's Greetings From The Sandbar. Fans can stream "Baby It's Cold Outside," featuring Elena Coats, via Alternative Press, along with an exclusive guest blog from lead singer Travis Clark.

 

Out on November 16th, 2018, Season's Greetings from the Sandbar features two original tracks as well as eight Christmas classics including "Baby It's Cold Outside," "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting)," "I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas," and more. For additional information, please visit: www.wethekingsmusic.com.

 

"It's always amazing to work with someone as talented as Elena Coats is, mainly because her voice is flawless and I never have to do any extra work editing her vocals," Travis Clark shares."There is also something about her voice that is so nice listening to and every time we have a need for a girl vocal, she's the first person I think of."

 

We The Kings released their sixth studio album, Six, earlier this year via S-Curve Records/BMG. It secured the #18 spot on the Current Pop Albums Chart, as well as #13 Digital Albums, #21 Current Digital Albums, and #23 Digital Albums, among others in its first week. The album has been heralded by Billboard, Alternative Press, Newsday, Rock Sound, Setlist.fm, and more, and can be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music, or purchased online here.

 

When naming their latest album Six, We The Kings set out to check a few boxes. Not only does Six represent the Florida-based band's sixth full-length album (all of which, from their 2007 Self-Titled through 2015's Strange Love, begin with the letter S), but it also pays tribute to the quintet's honorary sixth member: their fans.

 

"There's a pride that fans have about their favorite bands that I think is so special," frontman Clark says. "These fans have been supporting us for more than a decade. When we're writing songs, we don't want to let anyone down."

 

We The Kings' storied career has been marked by a deep reciprocity between the band and their fans. When the group-Clark, Hunter Thomsen (guitar), Danny Duncan (drums), Charles Trippy (bass) and Coley O'Toole (keyboard, guitar)-broke out of Bradenton, Florida in 2007 with "Check Yes Juliet," one of the most iconic songs of the late '00s pop-punk movement, millions of listeners around the world instantly fell in love with their buoyant spirit and emotionally poignant songwriting.

 

Follow-up singles like "Heaven Can Wait," "We'll Be A Dream," "Say You Like Me" and "Sad Song" kept We The Kings squarely in the mainstream, but as they readied Six, the band dug deep into the past to find inspiration from their earliest days. Their 10-year anniversary tour for Self-Titled sold out venues around the world in 2017, and it gave We The Kings a renewed sense of energy as they prepped new music.

 

At its core, Six's true triumph is its emotional heft. So much has changed for We The Kings since Strange Love-marriage, childbirth, death-and the album's 11 songs are a tribute to life's moments, both big and small, and how you never know which is which until much later down the line.

 

Six is the 6th studio album from We The Kings and is available now at smarturl.it/WeTheKingsSIX. For more information on the band's forthcoming Christmas album, Season's Greetings From The Sandbar - out on November 16th, 2018 - please visit: www.wethekingsmusic.com.

MOSAIC Inter-Faith Ministries: Agency Overview.
Every day, approximately  100 people come to or call the Agency for in-home senior services; basics to employment (Troy’s Pantry; Manna Market; More Blue Sky Employment Center), Green Waters Health Center; and Refugee/First Generation/Economic Immigrant services.  MOSAIC serves 1 in 25 Utahns, most are diverse facing numerous barriers to integration and employment.  Each day you will meet people originally from Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bosnia, Burma, Congo, Croatia, El Salvador, Eritrea, Lebanon, Indian Reservations, Iran, Iraq, Mexico, Myamar, Peru, Portugal, Rwanda, Sierre Leone, Sudan, Tanzania, Thailand.  Over time, many of the people being served become donors, volunteers, staffers  and Board of Trustee members at the Agency.

The Agency ground is precious ground as evidenced by the inter-faith prayer pole to the left of the building in Mary’s Garden: “May peace be in our homes and communities” written in Japanese, Spanish and English.  Most people visiting the Center, including Utahns in their history, have had to fight for their faith; and many people visiting the site everyday have known genocide in their families and villages during the past, recent, decades because of their deep faith.

Mosaic Inter-Faith Ministries is now serving people into their third generation in Utah.  Every service is elder-based, cross-generational and employment driven.  At the same time, the CEO of the Agency, Dr. Leslie Whited, just welcomed her great nieces, Ella and Sienna, as sixth generation Utahns.
