Addison Road's Jenny Simmons Releases EP "To Be Well: Songs for Hope and Healing"

Jenny Simmons, formerly of the Contemporary Christian band Addison Road, has just released her solo album "To Be Well: Songs for Hope and Healing."  This EP together with its companion book (which will be released later) chronicles some of her own stories of brokenness, healing and hope in her own marriage, soul and family.  

The seven song EP is produced by GRAMMY nominated producer Paul Moak (Third Day).  This independently released project features a sonic blend of Addison Road-esque pop songs and the rootsy Americana that endeared fans to Simmons' 2013 Fair Trade Services solo album, The Becoming. The new disc, however, pushes Simmons lyrically, as she attempts to capture the healing and hope that run wild alongside redemption through Jesus.

Simmons, who recently experienced a season of intense hardship, comments, "I had no idea that one year ago as I laid in bed and had a vision for writing songs of healing for people too weak to make it to The Healer themselves ... that I would end up being the one who needed my friends to put me on a stretcher, carry me across town, climb a roof, dig a hole in the top and lower me to the feet of Jesus. But here I am."

"Sometimes people who most need daily reminders of hope, redemption and God's unending love sung over them through faith-based music don't have access to it," says Simmons. "At a minimum, I have set aside a 1000 copies of To Be Well specifically for women in shelters, recovery centers, abuse programs and other vulnerable situations. I am praying that God will use this small gift in big ways in the hearts of these women."
