Nashville, TN (June 24, 2008) - 4K Records is pleased to announce that today, June 24, 2008, marks the release of The Grafting, the third solo project by legendary rocker John Schlitt--solo artist, lead singer for GRAMMY Award-winning Christian band Petra and former lead singer for mainstream rock band Head East.
With more than three decades worth of water under the musical bridge, Schlitt has earned multiple Gold Records, GRAMMYs and Dove Awards. He's toured all over the world and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Christian Music Hall of Fame. After 20 years fronting Petra, the most successful rock band in Christian music history, Schlitt is still passionate about the message of the Gospel and is compelled to deliver it in his own inimitable fashion, so he called on the multiple talents of rising star producer/songwriter and son-in-law Dan Needham (Amy Grant, Petra, Michael McDonald) to help craft his vision. The close bond between father- in-law and son-in-law allowed for the creation of a uniquely new style for Schlitt--one that appeals not only to the Boomer Generation that grew up on his music, but is also relevant to younger generations.
The result, a stunning collection of nine new songs and one old favorite, is an astonishing, multi-layered look into the very nature of love and life, lost and found in Christ. While the moods may be many, at their core, they are all pure Schlitt. Intimate and accessible, The Grafting is without a doubt Schlitt's most potent album to date.
Rave reviews are already streaming in for The Grafting. A few highlights include:
"This is easily Schlitt's finest work as a solo artist."

"Schlitt's gift is not lost to the industry and the world that desperately needs an artist whose life, as well as his songs, are unashamedly written to promote not the voice but the message of our Savior to the world."
- The J Man Review
"Enjoyable from start to finish."
