Joe Henschel Releases Debut Album through Listener Records
(SAN DIEGO, CA) JANUARY 26, 2009 — Joe Henschel, former lead singer for Farewell Down, recently released his debut praise and worship album Capture Me. Released through the newly formed {L}istener Records, Henschel’s debut presents this talented singer/songwriter as a seasoned praise music creator, equipped with a passionate worship leader’s heart.
“If you had told me five years ago that I was going to be a solo artist, I would have thought you were crazy,” Henschel admits. “I was a band person, all the way.” However, Farewell Down is no stranger to spreading the gospel message, on mission trips to England and Russia and all around Henschel’s hometown San Diego area. But recording solo worship is a new and exciting venture for Henschel. “I’ve always had a passion to be a worship leader, definitely, but I never thought I’d be a worship artist.
Produced by Jonathan MacIntosh (Sarah MacIntosh, Trevor Davis, Luna Halo) and distributed through MacIntosh’s newly formed {L}istener Records, Henschel was initially prompted to create Capture Me through MacIntosh’s nudging. “Jonny (Macintosh) and I had talked about possibly making a worship album,” Henschel recalls, “and a month later I had 15 songs that I presented to him.” By focusing on songs of worship, Henschel looked inward in ways he had never done before, which then produced the lovely outflow that is Capture Me.
In addition, Henschel’s first radio single “My Heart Speaks” will be going for adds on February 3rd through CRW Platinum Gold Radio Promotions. “Joe Henschel is one of today’s most promising and inspiring artists to emerge in Christian music,” says Dave Koch, president of CRW Platinum Gold Radio Promotions. “The first radio single, ‘My Heart Speaks,’ is an awesome song that makes you cry out for a Savior. There is a hunger in Joe’s voice and lyric that brings you closer to the Father. Radio will love this worship song.”
