Two-time GRAMMY-nominated, GMA Dove Award-winning and RIAA Gold®-selling Sanctus Real performed a full-length concert at Grafton Correctional Facility in Grafton, OH Oct. 1, 2024. Sharing an inspiring message of hope that was well-received by the hundreds of prison inmates that attended, the event sponsored by Send Musicians to Prison is available now in a special, four-song set that can be seen at https://youtu.be/iDHdIAksFkA.
While additional songs from the event, as well as talking points and introductions, have been removed to respect privacy and anonymity, the full-length concert is provided to the incarcerated at no charge from the sponsor, whose content reaches more than 200,000 inmates every month.
"It's been a long time since I felt such a purpose and conviction in sharing these songs of hope with an audience," says Sanctus Real founding member and guitarist, Chris Rohman. "I loved watching God use our songs to uplift the spirit in the room that day. It genuinely felt like God was breaking down spiritual walls, and it was humbling to play a small part of it."
"It was an honor to work with Sanctus Real in their home state and bring music to the incarcerated," says Send Musicians to Prison founder, Nathan Lee. "They were compassionate, and everyone in the room experienced their transparency."
Although not featured in the video released earlier to the public, Sanctus Real also performed in Grafton its current single, "The Difference," that is slated to hit radio nationwide on June 18. Worship Leader Magazine says this is "a song for the Church and the road...a bold anthem of hope and transformation in Christ."
Having given "The Difference" chord chart and multitracks away to worship leaders through a limited time CCLI / LoopCommunity offer, Rohman further shares how to play the song on guitar on the band's socials, which was highlighted by Worship Musician Magazine. The band also reveals the story of the song via The Christian Post, WorshipFuel Podcast, PraiseCharts, CCM Magazine and The Christian Beat, and in numerous other outlets slated to run in the near future.
