June 19 is recognized as Juneteenth National independence Day; a national holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. For 157 years, Juneteenth (a portmanteau of “June” and “nineteenth”) has commemorated the day when a group of enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned they were free from the institution of slavery — two-and-a-half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Find songs by a variety of artists featuring the theme of community and proclaiming hope and salvation in Jesus Christ.

Maverick City started with a dream to make space for folk that would otherwise live in their own separate worlds. To break the unspoken rules that exist in the CCM and Gospel World! But I think more importantly to be a megaphone for a community of creatives that have been pushed to the margins of the industry of Church Music. What brings us together, and that sound that is vivaciously smacking you in the face the first time you hit play on a Maverick track. Isn't the sound of a community that centered around their deprivation, it's the audacious sound of true belonging: The beautiful harmony of long-lost family.
