Schmelter, host of the popular daily television program “Bridges.” During the “Bridges” episode, Keaggy spoke about his latest instrumental album JAMMED! and performed “Thank You For Today,” a new song from his upcoming vocal album tentatively scheduled to be released this fall, as well as “Salvation Army Band” from his True Believer project. The show will air at 9:30 a.m. CST on June 2, 2006 in the Nashville, Tenn. market. A repeat of the program will broadcast at 6:30 p.m. CST.

Keaggy’s latest project, JAMMED!, which releases on July 4, 2006, is an instrumental album spanning three decades of his work which he co-produced along with Bill Deaton (Alan Jackson, Keith Urban, Michael W. Smith) and Lynn Nichols (Newsboys, Shaun Groves, Twila Paris). The CD showcases Keaggy’s amazing God-given talent, blending the genres of rock, blues and funk with hints of fusion and jazz. The album also features many of his longtime friends and collaborators-all of whom are renowned musicians in their own right-including drummer Keith Carlock (Sting, Steely Dan), former WhiteHeart bassist Anthony Salee, BlackHawk drummer Mike Radovsky, bassist Spencer Campbell (Amy Grant, Kenny Rogers) and drummer John Sferra, who co-founded the legendary band Glass Harp with Phil Keaggy in 1970. The CD’s production notes, penned by Keaggy himself, reveal the thoughts and personal stories behind each of these tracks giving listeners an inside look at this virtuoso and his boundless mastery of the guitar. In fact, ChristianityToday.com says that JAMMED! is "a clear display of talent from one of CCM’s most gifted musicians."
JAMMED! will be available on and distributed through TAG Artist Group. For more information on Phil Keaggy, JAMMED! and his upcoming vocal album, visit http://www.philkeaggy.com.
