Portland, OR, November 26, 2024—One year ago, Avery Stafford released the gorgeous ballad “Hourglass,” his first single in over a decade. After weeks of radio promotion and worldwide listener engagement, his silky-smooth voice is back to release a new single called “Manna (Come On Down).”
Stafford is very familiar with the power of collaboration in his music production. He said, “The greatest resource for a musical artist lies within the gifting and creativity of other artists. What I create is consistently more dynamic, better produced, and more fun when collaborating with other amazing creators.” The new single “Manna (Come On Down) embodies all these qualities, and the result is a funky Gospel/R&B track that features Nashville musicians Adam Nitti on bass (Kenny Loggins, Carrie Underwood, Michael McDonald, and many others) and Marcus Finnie on drums (Kirk Whalum, India Arie, Take 6, and many others). Nashville’s Russ Long mixed the track (Amy Grant, Paul Rodgers, Dolly Parton, Chris Tomlin, and many others). Teamed with Stafford’s songwriting and vocal performance, get ready for an energetic song that will have you singing the hook and moving to the groove.
Radio promotion for “Manna” began in mid-November. Gospel Station Charts, which tracks airplay for 70+ gospel formatted AM/FM and Internet radio stations, listed 13 stations that added the single to their rotations as of 11/26/24. Stafford is hoping for radio airplay from 100+ US and international stations. He says, “’Manna’ is an important song that encourages people to remember that God has not forgotten them. I want listeners worldwide to hear that message.” Station music directors, managers, DJs, and Spotify/Apple Music playlist owners are invited to add this vibrant praise and worship song to their rotations.
“Manna (Come On Down) will be released worldwide on December 12, 2024 (easily remembered as 12.12.24). TuneCore is the digital distributor. The song will be available on all major music streaming platforms.
