The CCM band Sidewalk Prophets made a big splash when their 2009 debut single The Words I Would Say zoomed to the top of the Christian charts and they won a Dove award for Best New Artist. Today they are more of an album and touring band. Sidewalk Prophets is from Anderson, IN. Lead singer Dave Frey and guitarist Ben McDonald were attending Anderson University in 2003 when a demo they recorded was sent to a campus recording contest. This led to a showcase at Lancaster Christian Academy in Smyrna, TN and a record deal with Word Records. When they released the 2009 album Three Simple Truths, Sidewalk Prophets was Dave Frey on lead vocals, Ben McDonald on guitar, Shawn Tomczak on lead guitar, Cal Joslin on bass and Justin Nace on drums. The Words I Would Say was the first single. It reached #3 on the Christian chart and was certified Gold. Frey and McDonald wrote all the songs. Most of the album including The Words I Would Say was produced by All Star United lead singer Ian Eskelin. Sidewalk Prophets won the Dove award for Best New Artist. The album is available in a deluxe edition with two bonus tracks. It's available as a budget CD. Since then, Sidewalk Prophets has released four albums including a Christmas album. The latest album was released in 2020. According to their Facebook, they just finished a new album. And they are currently on a west coast tour. Here's Sidewalk Prophets performing The Words I Would Say at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville 2022.
