He Lives (Amen)" is one of 11 compelling tracks on the new release, all
of which are receiving praise from critics across the board.
"Matt
has done it again. His amazing capacity to mix soulfulness and
spirituality results in great music that is good for your soul. He is
the consummate songwriter, a triple threat artist and a marvelous human
being. Bravo Matt!"
-Dave Pensado,
Pensado’s Place
“I
couldn’t be happier for Matt’s single hitting number one. His music
really connects with our listeners and he’s building quite a library
on the Fish with his 8th hit song (not including Christmas). He’s
quickly becoming one of our core artists.” -Mike Blakemore, FISH (Atlanta)
“Saints
and Sinners solidifies
Maher's presence as a thoughtful songwriter capable of crafting diverse
but dependable music, and a performer who conveys a range of passions
in a unique voice. The album will certainly appeal to longtime fans, but
it has enough additional elements (church
history, hymnody, collaboration) to widely broaden Maher's already
robust listener base.” -JesusFreakHideout.com
"Saints & Sinners is an album that
reveals Maher is every bit a skilled musician and performer as he is a talented lyricist."-TheSoundOpinion.com
In support of the album launch, Maher has been touring
the country on
The Rock & Worship Roadshow. He recently embarked on a West
Coast radio promotional tour visiting key stations in Seattle, Portland,
Riverside and Los Angeles.
When The Rock And Worship Road Show concludes on March 29th, Maher will have performed in front of more than 200,000 music fans.
Additionally, Maher will be headlining the
Saints And Sinners Spring Tour continuing into the fall, featuring label mates I Am They and Jon Guerra.
