full of energy and excitement… Leeland consistently aims high and delivers on the songwriting front. Bottom line: If you’re in serious need of a little
unrestrained ‘church,’ a mini-shot of revival to get you pointed in the right
direction, Leeland’s The Great Awakening is just the project to take you there.” – gmc
The band’s recent visits and concerts around the world (ranging from Peru to Japan for its support of Food For The Hungry) also inspired and helped shape The Great Awakening.
Leeland is ready to share these new songs with audiences everywhere and are especially eager to share them starting this weekend as they hit the road with Building 429 and Royal Tailor on the “Sounds Of Hope” Tour, sponsored by Food For The Hungry.

Hailing from Houston, Texas, GRAMMY-nominated progressive worship rock act Leeland has been known to deliver songwriting beyond its years and worshipful rock so genuine it disarms the honest cynic. Since its debut of the acclaimed Sound of Melodies (2006), the Multiple GRAMMY and GMA Dove Award nominated progressive worship band has become one of the most respected and influential voices in worship music. With its fourth release, The Great Awakening (9/20/2011), Leeland recaptures the essence of its debut albumSound of Melodies (2006) while delving deeper into its spiritual roots and stirring both personal and global revival.
Way (2008) and Love Is On The Move (2010) established Leeland as a leader in the worship community and beyond. All three of its previousalbums were GRAMMY-nominated and drew a combined eight Dove nominations.
In February, Leeland and Jack Mooring were selected by the White House to participate in the Compassion in Action Roundtable spotlighting the innovative leadership of an emerging generation of social entrepreneurs in America. On top of non-stop touring across the U.S. and Japan, the band also partners with Christian relief organization Food for the Hungry.
