About Jim Labriola:
As a young boy, Jim had a natural flair for comedy which often played out at family gatherings and, like most youth, he chose to explore his passions from
the perspective of a worldly mindset. Many kids his age spent their time listening to music, but Jim’s instinct and natural sense of humor led him to delve
deeply in the comedic arts. He began earnestly cultivating his God-given dexterity for hilarity by seeking out opportunities to perform anywhere and everywhere
comedy was the primary, secondary or tertiary draw, even if it meant driving an hour and a half for a five minute slot. In 1989, Jim opened for headliner
Tim Allen at Governor’s Comedy Club on Long Island. This fortuitous meeting sparked a close friendship and a big boost for Jim’s career when he
was offered what eventually morphed into a popular recurring role as donut-loving freeloader Benny Baroni on ABC’s hit show Home Improvement. Jim
later went on to guest star in various other network sitcoms and motion pictures including Disney’s huge hit, The Santa Clause.
Like most comedians, Jim’s routines in the early days were steeped in adult themes and vulgarity but one scripture, Ephesians 5:4, led him to reassess his
core values and contemplate serious changes for his life, leading to a new “Heart Improvement”. He eased into his newfound and heartfelt persona by
exclusively performing clean comedy at local churches and charity events. Armed with a renewed and fundamentally transformed purpose, Jim now travels
the country speaking at business meetings and motivational seminars, and continues to appear on television and in film. Of course, his stand-up routine will
always remain a staple of his repertoire but, in recent months, Jim has also been gallivanting across the country aboard the Tea Party Express alongside
such notable figures as former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Saturday Night Live’s Victoria Jackson, as well as hordes of Constitutionally
Conservative talk show hosts, political pundits, authors, bloggers and public officials. Despite his expanding political activism and unwavering reverence
for God, one indispensible fact remains true – Jim Labriola is ridiculously funny and never one to pass up the opportunity to elicit laughter when two or
more are gathered together.
Jim's comedy album, Heart Improvement, is available in LifeWay Christian Stores and online both physically and digitally.
Scarlet White reaches #38 at New & Active on the Billboard Christian Rock chart this week after only two weeks out for adds at radio.
Musically, Scarlet White cull elements of influential bands like Red, Chevelle, 12 Stones, Creed and newer Disciple to create driving, melodic textures anchored by Dan Hall’s gut-wrenching drop-tuned guitar riffs, Jacob Hendricks’ heart-pounding drum licks and the bruising bass lines of Erick Penn. The single “Breathe” blends the optimistic angst of Staind’s “So Far Away” with the bittersweet eloquence of “Mistakes” by Kutless.
Produced and co-written by Josh Silverberg (Edison Glass, Abandon, Seabird), Breathe exemplifies a maturity uncommon amongst a band barely beyond their teens. Click HERE to preview/purchase the song. And call your local Christian radio station asking them to add this fresh, new song from an up-and-coming band.
A native of Springfield, Mo., Angie Turner, better known as Miss Angie, first introduced her signature blend of rock, electronic and pop sounds on debut album, 100 Million Eyeballs, released by Myrrh/Word Records in 1997. The record spawned a No. 1 CHR single with “Lift My Eyes,” whose music video was featured on “WOW 1997-98: The Year’s Top Christian Music Videos” DVD. Miss Angie followed her freshman release with a second album, Triumphantine in 1999, which again produced a No. 1 CHR hit “Dancin’ In My Head.” The two critically acclaimed projects additionally afforded Miss Angie touring opportunities alongside such artists as Sixpence None the Richer while garnering her major festival appearances, including Cornerstone, among others.
“Kick Drum” announces the triumphant return of Miss Angie to the forefront of Christian Music. Mixed by Jonathan Castelli (Lady Gaga), this infectious new single is already proving to have a huge impact in its first week at Christian CHR & Rock radio. Preview/buy the single NOW on iTunes!
