Scott Wesley Brown
 Scott Wesley Brown is an artist whose career has spanned three decades, continues to prove his relevancy to the changing times. And his new CD Old Hymns Made New is no exception! It is simply the most energized and authentic project he has ever recorded, and it has and will put new life to the hymns for the ever-changing church of today!
Through the years, Scott Wesley Brown has left an indelible mark on Christian music…a prolific songwriter, dynamic vocalist, challenging author, international missionary, worship leader and Christian music pioneer!
The past three decades have seen his signature on no fewer than 9 number one singles on the Adult-Contemporary and Inspirational charts. His songs have been recorded by Sandi Patti, Amy Grant, Bruce Carroll, Pat Boone, The Imperials, Petra and international opera star Placido Domingo.
But, his heart is mission minded - and his actions display that. Brown's journal records covert missions behind the Iron Curtain and the first publicly promoted Christian music event in the U.S.S.R. It was during this August, 1989 concert that over 15,000 Soviets heard the passionate cry for love and compassion while the Spirit moved some 2,000 to join in the family of Christ. He has taken over 100 musicians on trips to the mission field and provided hundreds of musical instruments to musicians and missionaries in third world and restricted access countries.
He states about the relevancy of this new album, "I think reaching back into history is and has always been a good thing. Knowing where we came from, the stories behind the lives of hymn writers (both men and women) needs to continue so we can illuminate these hymns to our generation and the ones following. What we are trying to do with the Worship Hymns is to elevate the content of the lyrics-which are already powerful and full of meat-and combine it with the great music of today."
This is the new frontier - bringing in the old and making it new! Scott Wesley Brown is an important part of the Worship Hymn series, and the 'Worship Hymn' conferences that will be unfolding to cities around the world in 2006.
Brown sums it up by this statement - "Many of these Hymns were birthed out of persecution-their lives were at stake-they were written to preserve the purity of the Gospel as it was being attacked from every side. These Worship Hymns offer great Church history and great worship, and the stories behind the lives of great people of the faith. It puts our worship into the context of all the saints from all the ages because of their testimony. we are simply recasting the musical canvas behind this-what an honor and privilege!"
