Human Nature's Andrew Tierney and Worship pastor Timothy Dunfield Form Finding Faith

Human Nature's Andrew Tierney and worship pastor Timothy Dunfield have formed Finding Faith, a new pop vocal/guitar duo and song writing team. Tierney has resided in Las Vegas for nearly a decade courtesy of the critically acclaimed headlining residency show of Australia's popular vocal group Human Nature. His duo partner Dunfield is a pastor and musician who resides in Las Vegas working his pastorial duties. Their captivating story is a melding of two very uniquely different lives save for their passion for songwriting and faith.

Andrew's new found focus on God lead him to restore and cement his practice of faith during a time of deep personal change, growth and need to simplify his life. Andrew says; "Tim was the worship pastor at my church in Las Vegas. I asked to audition for the church's Worship team and I told Tim that music was a huge part of my life."

Tim confirms; "I had no clue of Andrew's story and success; so it came as a big surprise to discover who I was actually looking to audition. Needless to say the audition was more like shared song writing and worship leadership mentoring but more importantly, the beginning of an amazing friendship.  We eventually connected with the incredible teams at Sony Music Australia and SHOUT! Music Publishing who have set up sessions with Hillsong writer Dean Usher."

With soaring vocals and a sound rooted in contemporary acoustic pop, the duo will release its eponymous debut album  (produced by Nick Radovanovic), through Sony Music Entertainment on June 1st which is available to pre order NOW. The album will also be released internationally via the Provident Music Group, a division of Sony Music. Finding Faith have signed a publishing agreement with SHOUT! Music Publishing, a division of Hillsong.

As pre-orders commence this weekend, the first two singles 'Cornerstone' and 'God Is Amazing'will launch on Good Friday and Easter Sunday respectively as instant grat tracks (instant downloads) on digital platforms.

Andrew and Tim's pop sensibilities sit well with the familiar worship style that echoes Hillsong, Chris Tomlin, Matt Maher, and other contemporaries.  With Finding Faith, Andrew and Tim hope to add a unique and fresh voice to the genre with melodies and lyrics that are memorable and instantly singable. This 12-track debut features ten original songs and with further evidence of the duo's desire to bring a new and unique voice to contemporary Christian music, covers of Van Morrison's 'If I Ever Needed Someone' and Hillsong Worship's 'Cornerstone'.
