BRANSON, MO August 12, 2005 -- John Lindsay, producer of the live Christian stage production, Act of God, currently being performed at the Circle B Chuckwagon in Branson, MO, agreed Tuesday to use Branson based Citywalk Studios to record their cast album. Mark Owen, executive producer of Citywalk Studios and graduate of Berklee College of Music, brings over 20 years of performing, writing and arranging to the table.

“We were looking for a studio that could successfully take Act of God's wide variety of song styles and bridge them into the same production,” says Lindsay. “Unlike the recording of most projects where each song stand alone, the songs from the Branson show, Act of God have a specific job in the context of the family friendly production. The music of this encouraging Branson show has the role of leading you in and out of the “Carol Burnet style” skits that make up the main thrust of the show, and because of the diverse style and purpose of each song, we believe will be quite a task to tie everything together. Each one of the songs from Act of God is stylistically unique, especially rhythmically. It’s relatively easy to consider a song individually, however, the obstacle we were facing in choosing a recording  studio was finding an organization that could embrace the spirit of each song as well as the overall vision, and bind it all together musically into a whole without sacrificing each song’s individuality.”

“Now that the negotiations are over the real difficulty isn’t technical, but scheduling”, says Owen. “The musicians here in Branson have shows of their own during the day, and something this big takes a substantial time commitment. The only time most of the talent involved with the project can get together is at night. And, with a title like Act of God, you can bet it's going to be a labor of love.”

Act of God will begin recording at Branson’s Citywalk Studios Monday, August 15th with projected completion in October. The featured vocalists on the Act of God recording will be Laura Fogle from Nacogdoches TX, formerly with the Christian musical production "The Promise", Bucky Heard, currently performing in the Branson show "Legends", and Branson based Gospel and commercial recording artist, Camile Langford.
