Artist:Salvador
Song:Heaven
Album:Top Ten
Salvador is a Latin tinged CCM band from Austin, TX. They record in English and Spanish. This 2004 cover of the Los Lonely Boys classic Heaven is one of their two top five CCM singles. They are led by lead singer, guitarist and main songwriter Nic Gonzales and brothers Art and bassist Josh Gonzales. They had a band at King of Glory Church in Austin. They decided to expand it into a full band and play local CCM music festivals. This got them a deal with Word's Myrrh label and it went from there. Salvador is different from other CCM bands because of the Latin influences. Heaven is from the 2004 album So Natural. By this time keyboard player Chris Bevins had joined the band and Art Gonzalez left. So other than the core of Nic and Josh and Bevins, the band membership is fluid. Heaven reached #2 on the CCM Singles chart. Though Nic Gonzales writes most of Salvador's songs, Heaven is a cover of the 2004 Los Lonely Boys classic. Their other hit single was Shine from the 2006 album Dismiss the Mystery. Nic married the popular CCM singer Jaci Velasquez in 2007 and since then I think Salvador has toured with her. Salvador left Word in 2009. That's when this budget comp was released. The band recorded a couple of albums but they don't seem to be active. They last posted on Facebook in 2016. Nic Gonzalez released a solo album in 2016. Here's Salvador performing Heaven on the 2017 Jaci Velasquez DVD Trust which doesn't seem to be available.
