Monk & Neagle Announces Sophomore Album

TWENTY-FIRST TIME RELEASING SEPT. 18

Singer/Songwriter Pair Joins MercyMe on Tour as New Album Hits

(Nashville, Tenn.) June 18, 2007 — Amarillo-based duo Monk & Neagle will release its sophomore album, The Twenty-First Time—its first on Reunion Records— on Sept. 18. With this new project, the singer/songwriter pair delivers a storyteller’s delight, full of deep spiritual conviction, high-octane fun, passionate imagination, and sincere, heartfelt worship. Produced by Ed Cash, Gospel Music’s 2007 “Producer of the Year,” the duo’s phenomenal vocal work is powerfully evident, while the mark of distinction is found in the lyrical depth and meaning that permeates the record.

“These stories, these songs were born in the everyday,” Michael Neagle says, “from the conviction that comes out of personal experience, faith in the middle of doubt, and our desire to unbox the Gospel. To show how relevant it is to where we all live.”

Teaming up with Cash, The Twenty-First Time exceeds the John Mayer/Jack Johnson/Bebo Norman jazz/acoustic-pop fusion established on Monk & Neagle’s 2004 self-titled debut with even more irresistible hooks and melodies.

“I’ve worked on a lot of great records,” says Cash, “and the special ones you can usually identify. From the beginning, the songs to me on this record are simply at another level… It’s been amazing, watching these guys bring them to life.”

Monk & Neagle will be on the road this fall as part of the highly-anticipated MercyMe tour featuring Aaron Shust. For more information on Monk & Neagle, please visit http://www.monkandneagle.com or http://www.reunionrecords.com.

The musical partnership of Monk & Neagle sprang to life organically in Texas out of a 12-year friendship between Trent Monk and Michael Neagle. Crafting lyrics that reveal stories about ordinary life and celebrating extraordinary love and relationships remain front and center for the guys. The Twenty-First Time is the follow-up to Monk & Neagle’s self-titled debut, which was released by Flicker Records in 2004.
