Celebrating two decades of music and ministry in 2025, the Jason Lovins Band is poised to commemorate the milestone year with Pilgrim Road (New Day Digital Distribution), out January 17. Featuring 11 tracks produced by the Kentucky-based group and showcasing their signature sound--a unique tapestry of gospel, country and pop influences--Pilgrim Road is hallmarked by guest appearances from bluegrass hitmakers Chosen Road and longtime NewSong frontman and acclaimed singer/songwriter Russ Lee.
The title cut, a modern hymn written by Noah Baker and Jason Lovins, encapsulates the album's theme as well as the overarching mission of the Jason Lovins Band. "Not only does Pilgrim Road capture the heart of what we want to say with this record--sharing the Gospel and reflecting on the journey from Genesis to Revelation--but naming the album Pilgrim Road felt right as we look back on 20 years together and see God's faithfulness every step of the way," says Lovins. "Even after all this time, it feels like we're just getting started, and we're excited for the road ahead."
Further highlights of Pilgrim Road include the project's latest single, "Hide My Soul," a joyful worship anthem penned by Daniel Doss, Emma Feldman, Jonathan Jackson and Jonathan Turner, along with the band's two guest collaborations: a bluesy bluegrass take on the 1890 Gospel classic "Life's Railway To Heaven" featuring Chosen Road, and the impassioned pop anthem "Constant" with vocal contributions from Russ Lee.
In addition, Pilgrim Road continues the Jason Lovins Band's longstanding tradition of showcasing a Spanish-language selection on each album. "En La Cruz," a rendition of the beloved hymn "At The Cross," is a nod to group member Rodney Mora's heritage and serves as a poignant reminder of the Gospel's power to transcend languages and cultures. "Our pianist Rodney Mora was born and raised in Venezuela and grew up in a Christian home, which is not the norm there," explains Lovins. "I remember the first time we sang a song together, me in English and Rodney in Spanish, it really opened my eyes to just how big God is. He has no barriers, and He understands and hears us both."
"Hymns have shaped our lives and faith, and we feel blessed to carry them forward," Lovins adds. "I grew up surrounded by these songs that have stood the test of time and tell great stories of the faith. Hymns have a way of bridging and connecting generations, so we want to keep putting our own twist on them."
