Radioindy.com Artist: Mark Shelton

Artist History

By day, Mark Shelton does the 9 to 5 thing. However, by night, and especially weekends, you can find Mark Shelton donning the cape of the Professional Wrestler "Archangel", rising the silver saber of the Pirate Captain Radical as part of Swimming Frog Interactive Children's Theater, bringing audiences to life stylishly swinging through the hits of the 50's and 60's during his highly sought after Sock Hops or singing the gospel in front of a quickly growing audience. His concerts are an array of astounding vocals, brilliant light and stage effects, and displays a flair for the dramatic. He once stunned an audience with two Harley Davidsons driving onto the stage, filled with interpretive dancers, and for the next tour. . .sword fights! Recently described in Christian Music's Relevant Magazine and Celebrate Radio's Internet & Satellite Ministry as "one of the strongest voices we've ever heard with powerful lyrics and dynamic performances", Mark Shelton is anything but your traditional gospel performer. The love of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit radiates during Shelton's presentations with messages of hope, repentance, forgiveness and standing up in the Spirit of God.

Hey all,

I have been nominated for a pretty prestigious award for the "TRIBAL NATION" CD. (Actually, it has been nominated for several awards as you will see below.)

Cool or what!?

It is called the "MOMENTUM" Award, which is basically a GRAMMY Award for
Independent Christian Artists. I humbly ask you to go to the following site ~

http://www.indieheaven.com/momentum_awards.php

~and vote for me, then forward this request (with your recommendation) to all your friends and lists. Then have them do the same.

They will have to put in their name and email; then vote. (Before January 31st);

Select each category and scroll to the name "MARK SHELTON" and vote.

The categories that would apply here is Male Vocalist of the Year; Contemporary Artist; Rock Artist; and Jazz.

Plus, the Album of the Year is "TRIBAL NATION by Mark Shelton" and the
Song of the Year is "King of All Life by Mark Shelton".

It is my undestanding that people can vote as many times as they want.

(If any of your friends want to hear the music samples they can be found at

www.cdbaby.com/markshelton2

So if you could send a vote that would be appreciated, and again, as important if you could forward this to your friends (email, , etc) to listen and then vote (or just vote).

The award ceremony is in Nashville at the end of March.

I could really use your help and also from anyone else. So please pass it on and/or contact me with any questions.

Thanks & God Bless

Stay safe! Keep rockin!

"Tribal Nation" by Mark Shelton, is a CD loaded with uplifting spiritual numbers that command exaltation, praise and worship of God. The general musical compositions' blend and style, accentuate Mark's musicianship. Truly, Mark is a powerful Christian voice with an appealing musical artistry. This classic rock has a noticeable trace of Jazz to blues influences and a powerful lyrical foundation which inspires hope, faith and a reverential walk with the Lord. From its lyrics, one gathers that Mark is quite current with the Christian central subject. "The king of love" has a perfect blend of instruments and smooth-flowing vocals that pierce the soul with the message of love. It ignites in the heart, a longing for God's love. "The Lamb who was slain" is an adorable number which inspires worship and has a strong Jazz root with a fantastic display of drums. "Watch the Lamb" is lyrically contemplative, thought provoking and has an impressive play of piano. When you listen to "Secret grace" which has a classic feel, you will conclude with us that there is power in the vocal, infused by the Holy Ghost, that rejuvenates spiritual strength in the heart of the listeners. If you enjoy spiritually uplifting Christian classic rock, you will enjoy this CD. Pick a copy today.
