Danbury, CT - Gospel Music Association Dove Award winner Chris August and Chart Topping vocalist Jonny Diaz are set to bring their nationwide “Pieces” Tour to Danbury’s Community Coffeehouse (7 Madison Ave) on Thursday, October 13. The concert will begin at 8:00. Presented by World Hope International the night will include stories and songs showcasing both artists’ biggest hits and newest cuts all within the intimate venue of the 140 seat Community Coffeehouse.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.communitycoffeehouse.org or at the door. VIP tickets ($30 in advance) include an exclusive Q&A with both artists as well as a signed poster and a CD. General admission ($20 in advance) tickets are also available. All tickets include free coffee and refreshments as well as a chance to meet the artists after the show.

“As an artist, I believe God gifted me with an ability to relate through the songs and stories I share” said Diaz. “I like looking out at the crowd and seeing the smiles on faces or tears in the eyes and knowing straightaway that these songs are connecting.”

Chris August has struck a balance in a beautiful tension. The soulful singer-songwriter who cites influences from Stevie Wonder to Boyz II Men accepts the call to speak the truth and pour every ounce of his being into his music, without taking himself too seriously. This equilibrium is evident on the award-winning artist’s new record, The Upside of Down.

The Upside of Down isn’t August’s first break into the music industry by any means. His Fervent Records debut, 2010’s No Far Away, co-produced with celebrated producer Ed Cash (Dave Barnes, Steven Curtis Chapman) cemented his name in the Christian music world and earned the Texas native the coveted titles of “New Artist of the Year,” “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “Pop Contemporary Album of the Year” at the 42nd Annual GMA Dove Awards. That record also spawned the massively popular radio single “Starry Night,” which held the No.1 spot on Billboard’s Christian / AC chart for six consecutive weeks and was the first debut single to reach No.1 on that chart in more than three years.

Jonny Diaz is an artist whose mission in life is to serve the Body of Christ. From the beginning of his music career, Diaz’s desire has been to write songs that entertain, encourage and challenge fellow believers. His latest album, simply titled Jonny Diaz, is a collection of songs that accomplish his mission.

Songs on the new album, produced by Ed Cash (Dave Barnes, Chris Tomlin), Chris Stevens (Toby Mac, Sanctus Real), Jeff Pardo (Josh Wilson, Denver and the Mile High Orchestra), and Steve Wilson (Josh Wilson, Leeland), encompass a full range of human emotions – from the buoyant heights of love to the immense depths of grief; from praising God for His greatness to a cry for those whose lives are broken.

Jonny Diaz released three independent projects before signing with INO Records. His first release as a signed artist was titled More Beautiful You (2009). This album produced the No. 1 radio single “More Beautiful You,” as well as Top 10 “Waiting Room,” and led to a 2010 Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year.
