Dan was just nominated for two 2009 Covenant Awards (Canadian equivalent to the American Dove Awards) by the Gospel Music Association of Canada. "Listening (Light of the World)" is nominated for "Pop Contemporary Song of The Year" and "Amazing" is nominated for "Praise and Worship Song of The Year".
"Listening (Light of The World)" was #1 on Canada's CANCON chart for two months (and #2 for another 2 months) remaining in the Top 30 songs on Canadian Christian Radio (CCRC) for 11 weeks straight.
"Amazing", around since 1996, is currently sung in churches around the world and has been recorded numerous times by artists as far away as Jerusalem. This past year Dan re-recorded a fresh interpretation of the song with CCM producer Nathan Nockels (Matt Redman, Tim Hughes, Phillips Craig & Dean) giving it new life and exposing it to an even wider audience.
The Covenant Awards will be held, and winners announced, on October 23rd in Calgary AB Canada.

WORSHIP LEADER MAGAZINE REVIEW - JULY 2009
Worship Leader magazine, North America's premiere worship publication, just printed a glowing review of Dan's "Listening EP"! Here it is complete and un-edited:
"Winner of Canada's 2007 Shai Awards for "Worship Album of The Year" and "Male Soloist of The Year," this Canadian born worship leader is bringing inspiring lyrics and sounds to the worship scene. His website claims that Dan's music is "passionate, honest and infectious." And as much as that is true, even better, Macaulay's "Listening EP" is an excellent example of how music is written for the church.
Colorful guitars introduce "Listening" as a song that immediately leads us into a time of reflection. Birthed from simply worshiping at the piano, this one is filled with lyrical poetry and accompanying instruments that enable it to over-extend the typical 4:00 minute boundary to a 6:42 quality worship experience.
WL TAKEAWAY: This album fits both your personal listening time and your congregation's worship time. Be sure to visit Macaulay's website for videos, chord charts, and ministry information."
Worship Leader Magazine's Song DISCovery® also featured Dan's song "Win With Love" from "The Listening EP" in Volume 75 CD and March/April issue.

NEW EP REVIEW FROM CROSS RHYTHMS UK!
Cross Rhythms UK has just posted a new 8/10 review of "The Listening EP"!:
"It is rare that an EP release is as punchy, as polished and coherent as 'The Listening EP'. This outcome is certainly augmented by the excellent production delivered by Nathan Nockels (Tim Hughes, Matt Redman), but it is this Canadian-born singer/songwriter who captures the most attention. The availability of guitar tablature from Macaulay's website instantly opens up an extra dimension for this CD and certainly there are songs strong enough to work in congregational worship settings. These inspirational and energetic, soulful and contemplative songs are a real joy."

LISTENING GETS RAVE REVIEWS & ROCKS RADIO!
REVIEWS
The Listening EP, the U.S. debut from Canadian-born singer/songwriter and worship leader Dan Macaulay, has garnered critical acclaim since becoming available in March. Produced by Nathan Nockels, the three-song set is drawing attention for its fresh melodies and passionate vocals.
“…there’s a yearning in Macaulay’s delivery and such strong instrumentation (thanks, producer Nathan Nockels) that make these songs rise above any concerns of familiarity,” says Soul-Audio.com. “…Dan Macaulay is fantastic. …a young, budding artist whose heart beats beautifully on his sleeve…”
TheBridgeLive.net gives the release four out of five stars stating, “Overall, The Listening EP is an excellent introduction to Macaulay. Hopefully this isn’t the last we hear from this worship leader.”
ChristianMusicToday.com calls the EP “…a trio of instantly memorable praise cuts…”
RADIO
The first single, “Listening,” released May 1 to Christian AC and Inspirational formats. According to Shannon Becker of Big Town Productions & Promotions, Macaulay is “one of the best independent artists I have ever heard! It's a short list: Fee, Jennifer Knapp, bluetree and now Dan Macaulay."
"Listening" charted at #2 on the CANCON Christian Radio charts in Canada for the month of May and is now making inroads into U.S. Christian AC and Soft/INSPO Christian Radio as well as receiving international airplay in countries like The UK, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Australia, Scotland, and The Netherlands.

Well we're a little behind on posting it here due to the sheer busy-ness involved... But we are thrilled to announce the birth of our first child, a son, Keaton Daniel Macaulay! He was born on Monday August 25th at 1:55 am. Weighing 8 lbs 3 oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. He is amazing (and the cutest ever) and we thank God for him everyday! You can see lots of pics of him on Facebook here, here, here, and here!
This, on top of moving our home base to a wonderful church in Greenwich CT, Harvest Time, has had us very busy as of late. But in the best possible way! We're loving every minute and God's timing is perfect.
We want you to know we have new music on the horizon though (as you know from our vlogs!) and it's still coming! We will keep you posted. Hopefully with new news soon!

WOW WHAT A WEEK!!
Hey all! Dan here. What an amazing and exhausting week this has been! Our trip to The Dominican Republic with World Vision from Monday to Thursday was incredible! What an AWESOME work they are doing. Better than I even realized. We were blown away at how they manage to transform the lives of the poor in an entire area. The way they empower and disciple them to multiply their resources is incredible. If you don't sponsor all the children you can afford to yet you need to invest more!
The Dominican pastors in the area gathered and met with us on the last day and before we left they prayed over us in such power! God is on the move in The Dominican! Hanging out with the other Canadian Artists on the trip was a blast too. We'll try and get some pics posted here for you real soon! Keep an eye out.
- Then Friday night in Oakville I had the privilege of opening for Darrell Evans which was really great. Darrel was super friendly and is so much more than an excellent song writer and leader. The way he moved freely that night in preaching, prophecy and healing gifts was inspiring to me personally!
- Then Saturday night at Worship This Day in Ottawa we had an amazing night. What a great sense of the Presence of The Lord! I led a NEW SONG of mine I'm excited about and it felt great! Can't wait to record it for you guys! Roxanne Sowerby of Extreme Prophetic Ottawa spoke and we saw around a dozen salvations and around 2 dozen healings or so. I'm already looking forward to the next W.T.D. 3 months from now.
- Lastly, first thing this morning (Monday) I visited Kingsbridge school of the arts in Burlington and sang a few songs and shared with the kids about what I do. Good times. There is no success without succession!
- So all in all its been a crazy-busy week. My head is spinning and my voice is sore but it was all worth it! Thanks for your prayers and support and we'll post some pictures here for you really soon!
Blessings
Dan

DAN WINS 2 SHAI AWARDS!
The 2007 Shai Awards (The Canadian Gospel Music People's Choice Awards) were handed out last night in Edmonton Alberta & Dan walked away with both awards he was nominated for! Dan was nominated & won for both Worship Album of the year & Male Vocalist of the year. Dan sends out a huge thanks to all of you who voted for him online.
In his acceptance speeches Dan also thanked "The Lord for the privaledge of leading His people in worship for a living." He went on to thank his parents and family on all sides for believeing in him rather than telling him to 'go get a real job'. He also thanked those who had inspired him along the way including Mark & Andrea Giancola, Paul Scibetta, and Harvest Time Church where most of Captured Again's songs were birthed. Lastly Dan thanked his wife Danielle saying "I could not do this without her. She believes in me and carries me though the rough days when nothing's clicking. She works just as hard or harder at this than me and all in the background where no one sees. She's the best thing that ever happened to me."
Again, thanks to all of you who voted online. These awards were won by your votes. Thank you so much for your support!! :)
