By: Hoganson Media The single has also enabled newly signed management and booking teams, The Fuel Music Management and Elite Talent Agency, to bring The City Harmonic’s engaging and worshipful live concert experience to venues across North America, booking numerous concerts this year already as demand from radio listeners is driving concert promoters to request additional tour dates every week. (See itinerary below.) Hitting the Billboard National Audience radio Top 25 and the iTunes overall Christian sales Top 5, “Manifesto” “I can’t really understand it. I don’t completely get it. But I am smart enough to realize after the response we’ve gotten, we shouldn't pass on it. We're adding ‘Manifesto,’” “I haven’t had a song in years that generated this many calls! Every time we play ‘Manifesto,’ “We’ve been spinning ‘Manifesto’ “‘Manifesto’ As the song continues to ascend the charts, over 336,000 people to date have viewed the “Manifesto” Heralding from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, The City Harmonic has also captured a significant and growing crowd of newly inspired music critics who have widely-praised this new band. Music Remedy, Worship Leader, Colossal Pop, Examiner.com, NewReleaseTuesday.com, Hollywood Jesus, United Methodist Reporter, Amazon.com, IndieVisionMusic.com, Soul-Audio and more have weighed in and found The City Harmonic EP compelling on multiple levels, with many giving the band five star rankings and naming them “Ones To Watch” in 2011. Featured in the current issue of RELEVANT Magazine, front man Elias Dummer says in the issue, “The best expression of loving God is loving your neighbor…” as the writer lauds, “The City Harmonic’s music begs for participation…” The City Harmonic is about “getting people in on the act—hearts pounding and feet moving.” The band, consisting of front man Elias Dummer, bassist Eric Fusilier, guitarist Aaron Powell and drummer Josh Vanderlaan, isn’t as interested in finding fans as they are looking for participants in the journey. With the band’s name partly derived from the sense that in communal worship we catch a fleeting glimpse of the world that we pine for, Introducing The City Harmonic is just a taste of what’s to come from this creative Canadian foursome. The release of the band’s full-length album will be announced soon, and it will continue the journey—songs and stories that tell of hope, unity and seeking a greater kingdom.
