 Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Matt Brouwer Official Website) - Grammy Award winning, music legends, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, and Michael Omartian partner with Canadian singer/songwriter Matt Brouwer on his 3rd CD, "Where's Our Revolution" and single 'Other Side.' The album draws inspiration from Matt's deep well of experiences, and has become his most ambitious and fully realized project to date. "Where's Our Revolution" is produced by Grammy winning music legend Michael Omartian. The album is a pop/rock triumph that just may catapult Brouwer into the pop music fray, but it's the emerging fearlessness in Brouwer's writing that may be the records biggest achievement. There are twelve songs that make up the new project, which are sensitive and compelling both musically and lyrically. The marriage of Brouwer's writing and vision, paired-up with Michael Omartian's arrangements and production has created a work that is both artistic and commercial. Matt Brouwer was born in the eastern Canadian town of Truro, Nova Scotia. He is the sixth of seven kids born and raised on a dairy farm. In college Matt began to take music seriously and he started a band with a few friends there. 'We got together because we had a need to ask some deeper questions.' Also, he remembers, 'We were not skilled musicians, just willing to do whatever it took to be together.' Eventually, what came as a result of that experience was a tour and an album, which garnered international attention, received two Vibe Awards (Canadian People's Choice Award), was nominated for a Juno Award (the Canadian Grammy equivalent), and produced two top 10 radio singles. Brouwer's early songs had strong Christian and gospel roots which were influenced by the music he grew up with in the church. Despite strong industry appreciation of Brouwer's debut, sales were disappointing and sent Brouwer back to the drawing board. At this point Brouwer began to stretch out and his writing began to encompass more comprehensive subject matter in a way that spoke to the heart of the human experience. His 2005 Indie album, Unlearning, was a moment of transition. A rare and lyrically gripping project, this album propelled Brouwer more in the direction of a singer/songwriter, showing signs of a fearless honesty emerging. The project became an important step in laying the groundwork for an exciting push into the national spotlight. The result was Matt's first appearance on the Billboard Charts with a No 21 single "I Shall Believe" (CCM AC) and a top 5 single on the New Music Weekly Indie Top 40 Chart with "Surrender". official website)Matt Brouwer's 3rd CD, "Where's Our Revolution" will be released in late spring 2008 to both the CCM and mainstream AC/Top 40 markets.
