NASHVILLE, Tenn. “The Gospel is Rest”, the second single from indie artist Elias Dummer’s upcoming sophomore LP ‘The Work, Vol. II”, crossed 1 million streams this weekend after just 10 weeks. About the song, Elias shared “As the world struggles through one catastrophe after another, this song hits home for me as an earnest plea for rest. I’ve come back to it again and again since we wrote it, always giving me a cathartic sense of calm. I hope it does the same for you.”
You can listen to “The Gospel is Rest” on Elias’ Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Youtube, and Amazon music.
Elias Dummer co-founded and fronted one of Canada’s most acclaimed worship bands, The City Harmonic. As the group’s principal songwriter, he helped pen such hits as “Holy (Wedding Day)” and “Mountaintop,” as well as “Manifesto,” which served as the theme song for 2011’s National Day of Prayer and was the walkup music for Major League Baseball player Seth Smith. The City Harmonic earned 12 GMA Canada Covenant Awards and a Juno Award (Canada’s GRAMMY® equivalent), before disbanding in 2017.
Dummer released his solo debut, The Work Vol. I, in 2019 and was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2020 Covenant Awards. In addition, his debut single, “Enough,” spent 26 weeks on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart. With more than 65 million lifetime streams to date, Dummer’s music—both as a solo artist and with The City Harmonic—appeared on charts in more than 30 countries around the world in 2020 alone.
