Combining her passion for God and an eloquent creative vision, EMI CMG Label Group will release the highly anticipated self-titled debut of singer/songwriter Bethany Dillon April 20th.

"Bethany possesses a rare honesty and genuineness as an artist," shares Brad O'Donnell, VP of A&R, EMI CMG Label Group.  "She is a deep well of creativity, which is the hallmark of a great artist."

Produced by Ed Cash (Bebo Norman) and Josh Moore (Caedmon's Call), Bethany Dillon is an artist whose music delves into the themes of the modern Christian's heart and journey from the very first note.  Her profound song-writing and accessible acoustic-rock sound allows her to connect with music listeners of all ages, with her thoughtful, poignant and enriching music.

Dillon has seen early success with the limited retail release of her 5-song EP The Beautiful Sessions, which features her first single "Beautiful", and was the #1 top selling disc on Grassroots.com for two weeks as well as the #1 selling EP for the month of February. In addition, "Beautiful" is currently #16 with a bullet on R&R's Christian CHR Top 30 chart and #14 with a bullet on R&R's Christian AC Top 30 chart.

This spring Dillon will join Shane & Shane on a spring tour starting mid-April going through mid-May.  A complete list of dates will be available on www.bethanydillon.com.  Dillon recently completed an 18-city radio promo tour with labelmate Matthew West, visiting key markets such as Oklahoma City, Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco.
