Brandon Bee's Inside These Walls
Save the City Records is proud to announce the release today of Inside These Walls, the sterling sophomore CD from critically acclaimed producer, singer/songwriter and worship leader Brandon Bee. The project builds on the anticipation created by Bee's 2009 debut, This is the Revolution, and 2010's stripped down, introspective Surrendered EP.

A number of events are in place to celebrate the new CD's release, including:
• Today's episode of JCTV's "1 Music Village," which will focus solely on new music from Bee's Inside These Walls. The show, which features top artists in a concert setting, will also be rebroadcast five additional times throughout the week (check local listings).
• Bee will be leading staff devotions and doing interviews at Focus on the Family.

• Breathecast will feature Bee performing unplugged songs from Inside These Walls along with an interview.
• Featured with main banner placement on "New & Noteworthy" iTunes Christian page.

• NewReleaseTuesday.com's April Artist of the Month.

• HearItFirst.com's Featured Artist of the Week.

• iTickets Free Download of the Week at itickets.com/freemusicdownload.
• Featured in Provident-Integrity's "Christ is Risen" Easter retail promotion (4/5-5/9) - $4.00 off Inside These Walls at participating Lifeway and Family Christian stores.
• Bee is currently on a radio tour to promote the new CD.

About Brandon Bee and Inside These Walls:
Bee has earned the respect of his peers as a producer by bringing out the best in a long line of established and up-and-coming artists, including Grammy Award nominee/Dove Award winner Stacie Orrico; Juno Award nominee/Island Award winner Matthew James; pop/rockers Amber Pacific, Jaime Jamgochian and Lanae Hale; West Coast rapper Benjiman; 2009 Immerse winner Jake Brothers and indie folk-pop rising star Beth Whitney. Bee most recently produced Circleslide's exciting 2010 CD, Echoes of the Light. Bee credits being immersed in that creative atmosphere with inspiring his own music to greater heights.

After spending two years on the road touring in support of This is the Revolution, Bee recognized he had a lot more to say about the Christian journey - a journey we all go through with varying levels of success. "We go through seasons where we live the life and seasons where we don't, so thank God we are saved by grace," Bee muses. "Realizing that many of us are going through the same types of things, I decided to make a record about my journey."

To help shape his vision for Inside These Walls, Bee called on the talents of a cadre of fellow songwriters, producers and musicians, including Scott Krippayne (Jordin Sparks' "This Is My Now"), Carl Cartee ("Glorious Impossible") and Circleslide frontman Gabe Martinez ("Love Amazing"). Bee called on his own experience and personal testimony of going through seasons of both faith and doubt, acceptance and rejection to create a soundtrack for the journey that is summed up in the metaphoric title cut and embellished by the rest of the songs on the project.

Bee's worship leader roots shine through on "Radiant Sun (Give Thanks to the One)," and worship anthems like "The Everlasting Song" and "Bring Me To Life" could easily be sung in congregational settings on Sunday morning. But Bee is just as likely to encase his pensive, semi-autobiographical lyrics in a grittier wrapper of good old fashioned rock 'n' roll on songs like "Helpless" and "Bones."

Brandon Bee's Inside These Walls mirrors life's journey, with compelling melodies that rise and fall, ebb and flow, aptly reflecting how as believers we all stumble, fall, then get back up again. Regardless of the style of the individual songs, each is autobiographically inspired and soul-baringly honest.

"Everybody needs to be reminded that we're all sinners and we all need a savior," Bee declares. "My goal with Inside These Walls is that people will look at it as a devotional. For me personally, the process has allowed me to learn more about myself and why I need God, though my hope is that people see less of me and examine more within their own life. Even though my stuff may look a little different from theirs, we're all going through this walk together."

Brandon Bee's Inside These Walls will be available April 5, 2011 through Save the City Records and Provident-Integrity Distribution. For more information on Brandon Bee and Inside These Walls, visit http://www.brandonbeemusic.com/ or savethecityrecords.com/brandonbee.
