Grammy-winning, multi-Platinum-selling group Casting Crowns is celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band this fall with a legacy album, “Lifesong: A Celebration of the First 20 Years,” available here. Continuing the celebration, the group is touring this fall on the "Casting Crowns' 20th Anniversary Tour: A Live Symphony Experience." A band documentary, “Casting Crowns: Home By Sunday,” will premiere in theaters on Nov. 30. 

The milestone anniversary album features 21 songs and 20 guest artists who have taken a Casting Crowns song and rerecorded it in their own reimagined versions. The album will include chart-topping songs "Voice of Truth," "Nobody," "Praise You In This Storm" and "Who Am I," as well as songs rerecorded by the group, along with one brand-new song, "On This Desert Road."

This commemorative collection is a beautiful way to honor the band's impactful career. Today, lyric videos for "Nobody," "Praise You In This Storm" and "Who Am I" debut on YouTube. 

The band's fall tour, "Casting Crowns' 20th Anniversary Tour: A Live Symphony Experience," began last night and will make stops in cities across the country. On this 20-city tour, Casting Crowns will be joined by a live orchestra for a one-of-a-kind experience. Check out the cities at https://www.castingcrowns.com/. The band will headline Kingdom Bound next summer.

Culminating the anniversary, “Home By Sunday” shares the stories behind the journey, music and ministry of Casting Crowns. From their unique beginnings to the inspiration behind one of their most beloved songs and a near-life-ending diagnosis, “Home By Sunday” gives a behind-the-scenes look into the mission and mindset that has driven Casting Crowns for the past two decades. The release includes exclusive performances of “Praise You In This Storm,” “Only Jesus” and “Nobody” that can only be seen during this cinema engagement.
