Gerry Brown - Gerry
Brown, younger brother of the Irish singer DANA, was born in Derry, Northern
Ireland, a city torn apart by political unrest for over 25 years, but
still this talented multi-instrumentalist (playing piano, mandolin, guitar,
and synthesizers) has hope for a brand new day as heard in his new contemporary
release "Songs From The Heart".
Gerry was 12 years old when he wrote his first song and 15 when he began working as a studio engineer at Chappells Studios in London. Since then, Gerry has gone on to become an accomplished studio musician, session singer and performing artist.
In addition to appearing on EWTN, ITV, BBC and RTE Irish Television, Gerry has written music for, and appeared on "Say Yes", "We Are One Body", and "Wake Up Sunday" (a Children's Network for BBC). He has also appeared on many television shows including BBC's "Freddie Star Showcase", "Pebble Mill", "Seaside Special", "The Entertainer", ITV's "Dana & Guests", "Kelly's People", "The Road To The Highways", and RTE's "Live At 3", "Bibi Baskin Dana Special" and "Live At The Olympia".
Gerry now produces and arranges all material for Heart Beat Records and the Irish singer DANA, as well as, Susanna, David Patrick Bryan and EWTN's "Say Yes" and "We Are One Body" television series. He is also the music producer / arranger for the video and audio cassette collection of Fr. Milton Thomas, OSC, and Joan McHugh's spoken word series.
Gerry has traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe with DANA and has accompanied her on three concerts in the presence of the Holy Father: one in Paris in 1997 and one in St. Louis, MO in 1999 and at the World Youth Day 2000 in Rome. He is well received by all and his new release has been anticipated for some time.
In April 2000 Gerry was one of the main stage concert performers during the Miami Jubilee Celebration and in November of 2000, Gerry won Producer of the Year at the International Unity Awards in Washington, D.C.
Gerry's music reaches all ages from youth to adult and his performances bring great joy to all in attendance.

Rosemary Scallon was raised in a family of six children in Derry, Northern Ireland
in the 1960's. Despite growing up in "the troubles", her predominant
memories are of peaceful, happy days, interwoven with a great musical tradition.
In 1970, while still a student, Dana became Ireland's first winner of the famed Eurovision Song Contest with her song All Kinds of Everything.
Dana was catapulted by the win into international stardom and her song became a massive international hit topping the chart in Britain and across Europe. She established herself as one of Ireland's most successful entertainers and enjoyed outstanding acclaim through best selling records and albums, top rating television appearances, and major headlining engagements in concert at home and abroad.
Major highlights of Dana's career were to sing Totus Tuus, a song she wrote, for Pope John Paul II when he visited New Orleans in1987; Denver (WYD) 1993 when she wrote and sang the World Youth Day theme song We are One Body. She was invited to sing once again, together with Placido Domingo, in New York in 1997 during the Holy Father's visit. She also sang for the Holy Father at WYD Paris 1998, St. Louis 1999, and WYD 2000 Rome.

Humble Myself
This is My Body
Denis
Grady - "I truly feel that there is a huge responsibility
doing Gospel music," says Grady, who has toured Canada and the United States
in recent years. "There is a lot of work to be done in sending out a message
of hope and promise to counter the confusion that seems rampant in the world.
My deepest belief is that God generously makes His wisdom available to all people.
The beauty of this wisdom is the amazing peace it brings."
Grady's walk as a Christian has not always been a faithful one. But as he came to believe in God's promises to restore brokenness and offer strength in weakness, he gained confidence in going forth into the world with his music. "It is a wonderful vocation to sing for God and to minister to the Body of Christ," says Grady, whose music and performances cross all denominations. "Why the Father would choose a lowly vessel as myself is simply testament to His rich mercy."
Born in Peterboro, ON, Grady, 48, grew up in a musical household. There was always a guitar lying around the house and Grady spent endless hours alone in his room practicing chords, emulating the likes of Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot. After playing high school dances with a couple of rock bands, he graduated to the folk scene and began paying more attention to lyrics. An older brother encouraged him and he began writing songs. After college, Grady moved to Alberta in the early 1970s and became involved with folk choirs while playing coffeehouses, social events and special concerts. During that time, he spent two years in Jean Vanier's L'Arche community in Calgary as an assistant living with mentally- and physically challenged residents. As well, he became a friend and supporter of the work of the Sisters of Charity founded by Mother Teresa, whom he eventually met. ( biography continued )

Tavola - In the songs you will hear, the joyful and sorrowful
tears of my life are renewed. They were present before and after Jesus and Holy
Mary's coming into my heart. I really hope they may go along with you through
a way to sanctity towards the Merciful Father.
My awakening started with a book, The simple way, by Mother Theresa of Calcutta. I wanted to set off for India immediately. But, after being "fallen down by the horse" the Lord isolated me from the world, let my friends vanish, and brought me to La Verna ,to his son Saint Frances.
There I do wept and I understood... or better, I was filled with his Love. He welcomed me with open arms. He took my stones and brought them away.
In a few lines you can't tell what your life is like. You can't, either, tell
to the others the miracles you have seen with your own eyes. But, I know for
certain that the Lord my Father has always loved me, even when I was far away
from him with my heart and followed the world.
Considered useless by the human world I was rejected, but my Father has always
remained close to me, waiting for me.
May all the children in the earth ..from 0 to 99 years old.. return to the
Celestial Father.
A suggestion for the young men as I am..please, flee from the world, from abortion,
from pornography,from drugs, from Satan's shrewdness. Satan is doing his best
to drive off the Truth made of Eucharist, Gospel, prayer, penance, love and
charity.
I want to say thank you to God, my Father, the Holy Mother, Jesus, to have
provided me together with the talent of music their songs of joy.
