In the Summer of 2014, after spending several years leading worship at Hume Lake Christian Camps, the band decided to switch gears and devote all of their time to touring and releasing original songs that inspire authentic worship. This decision coincided with the release of the their self-titled album For All Seasons, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Christian/Gospel charts in late July. While it was a significant achievement for the young band, they refused to be uprooted from their driving purpose: To use their gifts to usher people into His presence by creating music that manifests the joy of knowing their Creator and encouraging people to know Him deeper. As they continue writing and releasing new music, For All Seasons feels empowered and ready to continue encouraging communities, near and far, to worship God in every season of life.
