Song:Counting Every Blessing
Album:Good News
Rend Collective is a Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) group from Ireland. So their music has Irish folk music leanings. Since switching labels in 2015, they have gained momentum and the 2017 single Counting Every Blessing is their biggest hit to date. The group was formed in 2003 at Bangor Elim Church in Bangor, Ireland. They prefer to call themselves a collective. They claim there is more to them than music. The other thing I noticed is there are no individual songwriting credits. All the songs are credited to the group. The music group is led by drummer Gareth Gilkeson. Chris Llewellyn is lead singer. Ari Gilkeson plays keyboards and also sings. Patrick Thompson plays lead guitar and Steve Mitchell plays bass. After releasing a couple of albums independently, Rend Collective signed with Integrity Records in 2011. The wider distribution brought them success. And they were also touring with Chris Tomlin and other big CCM acts. For the 2015 album As Family We Go, Rend Collective started their own Rend Family label distributed by Capitol's Sparrow label. Since then they have picked up momentum. Counting Every Blessing is from the 2017 album Good News. The single was a top ten Christian hit. They aren't on tour right now. But based on their Facebook page, they are announcing a Canadian tour tomorrow. Maybe they have been working on a new album. CCM fans should check them out. Here's the video for Counting Every Blessing by Rend Collective.
