Christian Rock Band Tree63 Interviewed on Christian Music Monthly Website

Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) February 11, 2006 -?

The Christian rock group Tree63 was recently interviewed by Mark Weber of ChristianMusicMonthly.com, an international website devoted to Christian and gospel music, and Christian Music Monthly, its accompanying e-zine.

Tree63 is a South African band. They cite U2 as an influence. Their music is considered mainstream in their native land. Now living in Nashville, the band has recently made inroads in the U.S. market with a hit Christian radio song, ?Blessed Be The Name.? The tune is also popular in many churches around the world, with several recording artists having recorded it. Tree63 has made the definitive and most popular version.

?Tree63 is extremely popular,? says Mark Weber, of ChristianMusicMonthly.com. ?They?re very appealing to young people, who are buying their CDs and attending their concerts in droves. I was fortunate to interview the lead singer about a variety of topics.?

With a focus on “artists you know and want to know more about,” Christian Music Monthly, which operates out of Buffalo, New York, as both a website and an e-zine, covers Christian and gospel music’s most popular stars, including Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, Kirk Franklin, Nicole C. Mullen, Third Day, Jars Of Clay and others with sales in the millions. It also features up-and-comers and indies, providing readers with news and views about a truly wide variety of recording artists. Christian Music Monthly started out as ?Zeebozine,? with 50 subscribers in 2001. Five years later, the e-zine, renamed Christian Music Monthly, counts over 2,300 subscribers from the U.S., Canada, and many other countries all over the world.

Christian Music Monthly is currently being promoted on radio stations across the U.S. and in Canada.

“DJs are mentioning the website, http://www.christianmusicmonthly.com, on their shows, and some stations are even including the site on their “links” page because they recognize what a valuable resource Christian Music Monthly is,” says Weber. “Best of all, DJs and stations find that Christian Music Monthly is a great source of news they can use on-the-air, for free, and all they have to do is say it came ‘from christianmusicmonthly.com.’ I’m excited that the word is getting out in a big way that Christian Music Monthly has arrived.”

Christian Music Monthly is supported by paid advertising. It?s also linked to http://www.cafepress.com/jesusrocks716, where ?Jesus Rocks? buttons, stickers and t-shirts are selling well.
