Our back up singers:

It's me, Linda, on this side, introducing our singers. It was hard for a voice with my texture to work effectively over MANIFESTO's wall of sound. I could not have pulled the arrangements off without these amazing background singers:

Julie Hill's voice is an uncanny replica of mine, and she is an absolute wizard at the art of matching lines. You'll never hear her, but you'd miss her greatly if she wasn't there. One of the songs which she sang on, I Am Safe, is dedicated to her and Sam, to honor their wedding.

Thank you, Julie

When Miranda DiTullio sings on our recordings, she gives it 110%. . . all passion and heart. She understands the emotion behind songs, her love for the Lord showing.

Thank you, Miranda

Sydney Gray added a lilt to the hollow harmony I had planned for ReCreator. She floated into the soprano section with surprising ease.

Thank you, Sydney

Introducing the CREATIVE TEAM for this project:

Producer Frosty Gray

I'm so genuinely proud of the audio quality of MANIFESTO and the part I played in it, as engineer and producer, that I want to begin by introducing the creative team to you. Below that I'll thank some sound experts I've been fortunate enough to train under for Studio Recording and Front of House Engineering: Frosty

This is Craig Beebe

Chief engineer and emerging producer at The Brick House Studios. He is churning out one great sounding album after another.

Keep your eye on him.

Besides engineering the tracking, being intimately involved with the mix process, and doing the mastering, the guy played the drums for the album!

Thank you, Craig.

You can see his studio at www.thebrickhousestudios.com

Dan Weaver is as big as his power chords --and power chords, he knows! He took time from his band Soulicit to lay down the solid basics for our tracks at The Brickhouse. Thank you Dan

Andrew Weaver laid down the bass lines for us.Trying to get a picture of these two good-looking brothers.

Thank you, Andrew

Jeffrey 'Coop' Cooper

I remember the evening well. Coop was just sitting there in our studio looking so casual. . doing overdubs on a couple of songs. . .and out comes the brilliant solo you can hear on Empower Your Church. A blues edge and big heart for the Lord.

Thank you, Coop

Gianna DiTullio sang on one of our recordings when she was barely 7 years old, and already she had begun to develop the blusey alto twist that has become her trademark.

Thank you, Gianna

Camille Gray could fill a theatre with a vocal range that covers an octave and a half (and we have seen her do it!) A solid ringer.

Thank you, Camille

Brooke DiTullio is truly one of the most consistently pitch-perfect voices I have worked with. Her clear mezzo soprano dictates the pitches for us on each part I have given her.

Thank you, Brooke
