ShofarBand is a South African worship and songwriting collective and hosts of the Spirit | Truth School of Worship. The team writes songs that are saturated with Scripture for the Church to sing. Since their first live album in 2011, they have released an Afrikaans album, two studio albums, an EP, and several singles.
On 26 January 2024, ShofarBand will release their new full-length album, Welcome Home (Live at Zeal ‘23). This body of work is a collection of testimonies that have built up as the team has presented songwriting camps, trained worship teams, and toured (including to the USA).
Recorded live at the Zeal ‘23 Worship Conference for musicians, singers, and creatives, the new album features sixteen tracks – over two hours of music! The tracklist includes brand-new praise and worship songs, as well as covers and favourites from previous projects.
Featuring an 11-piece band of alternating musicians and guest artists like Janine Price and Stella, the team wanted to capture authentic, live worship, which is evident in the beautiful spontaneous moments between songs. From tender acoustic guitars and piano, to soaring electric guitars and crashing cymbals, the music tells the story of a God who is both transcendent and intimate, both high above and near to us.
ShofarBand leader James Pringle says, “It’s our prayer that these songs would give language to express our love, thanksgiving, and surrender to Jesus. That they would be sung together on Sundays and in private in homes. That they would enlarge our view of the love and holiness of God, and create space for powerful encounters with His Holy Spirit.”
