Worship leader Dave Fitzgerald makes debut with Hope of Heaven

Worship leader Dave Fitzgerald will release his debut album, Hope of Heaven: Live at Bethel Church, October 26 from Kingsway with EMI CMG Distribution.

Already garnering five-star reviews from music fans on iTunes, the album features special guests Brian and Jenn Johnson, Chris Quilala, Chris McClarney, Christa Black, Rita Springer and Kristene Mueller, as well as a backup band consisting of Jesus Culture musicians.

Pianist/vocalist/songwriter Fitzgerald began leading worship at age 16. The Pennsylvania native and current Tampa Bay, Florida resident says, “It is my heart’s desire and calling to expose God’s presence through my music, whether writing with friends, leading corporate worship or just singing around the piano in our home. The foundational purpose is to let our sprit, soul and body give Him our praise.”

That vision and the resulting music has resonated with worship music fans:

“This album is absolutely amazing! All the songs are fresh and flow nicely... Great for leading in a church or just for listening too! This album is a true offering of worship, and one that will become a hallmark in the generations of worship music!” says iTunes customer, Zeager.

“Amazing is an understatement. Probably the best worship album you will ever purchase. Buy it NOW & go soak in the presence of God!” says iTunes customer, CDeHart.

“Dave truly carries a heart of worship and highest praise for the Lord. This album is full of fresh sounds that release the atmosphere of Heaven on earth and encourage worshiping in spirit and in truth. I highly recommend this entire album and would encourage anyone to purchase who wants to worship and encounter God in a new way!” says iTunes customer, beardyy.
